India vs Pakistan | Match 22, World Cup | Manchester | June 16, 2019 | India innings

[talha 10]

sarfraz missed the trick by not bringing amir instead of hasan who has relieved any bit of pressure that was built by that wicket

 

[Azzurri]

This sanjay guy is so annoying

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Could have done without using Wahab's overs up now, we would need him for the death overs.

 

[nosundries]

There is no point holding back Amir for the death overs if Kohli gets settled

 

[Titan24]

Domestic cricket has done Wahab, world of good. Pak national players should be playing domestic cricket more often than not

 

[Khan12]

At least shaheen picks up wicket even if he goes for runs.

 

[Madplayer]

Crazy **** bowling. Wide.

 

[Hasan123]

Rohit will probably look to accelerate when he gets his century.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

You can’t afford to be spraying it around when your 5’7 and bowl 138-140 kph. His initial success was due to his accuracy with a hint of movement; now this guy can’t even pitch two balls in the same zone.

He got bigheaded as hell and instead of focusing on his game focused on looking flashy and doing his stupid celebration every damn game.

Needed someone to slip him round the ears and remind him his career is only starting , instead it went to his head and now his career looks done.

Carbon copy of countless others.

 

[90MPH]

Pitch is not that flat, just Rohit is making it look like it.

There’s still a bit of bounce and the odd one seaming.

Pakistan have just bowled rubbish, barring Amir.

 

[castortroy]

Do we every get Kholi out cheaply lol

Seriously bar cl final I can't remember the last time we dismissed him below 50

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Geez Whahab has lost hair....

 

[Chokli]

Domestic cricket has done Wahab, world of good. Pak national players should be playing domestic cricket more often than not

It's the Pakistan Cup where you had less teams and stronger teams.

 

[cricketInsight]

who is going to ball all those spin overs - cant hold them any further.

 

[AdamM97]

BBC weather 50-60% chance of rain in these 2 hours

I hope we get a shortened game. This is too painful.

 

[kcmo]

How can a bowling unit go so down so quick. Can’t believe the same unit was supposed to be the best at some point. Azhar Mehmood needs to be shown the door.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wahab has bowled a decent spell here He should never bowl with new ball

 

[topspin]

Hasan just a shadow of the bowler he was 2 years ago.

It has to be something technically wrong.

If hats the case he shouldn’t be playing.

He never had a high ceiling standing at 5 ft 7, we all had high expectations of him after the CT. But if he's not bang on the money, he's easy to score off. He's another Bilawal Bhatti (barring the purple patch in the CT).

 

[Mamoon]

Rohit is a better ODI batsman than anyone in our history, but our ignorant fans will run their mouths, call him a FTB and consider Fakhar to be a better player.

 

[Green Patriot]

Rohit will probably look to accelerate when he gets his century.

Thats a comforting thought

 

[Titan24]

Look how pumped he was for PSL.

Are the balls different in PSL?

No same balls but a mentor like Mohammad Akram is miles ahead of Azhar Mehmood. Mohammad Akram was the reason of the peak Junaid Khan and Mohammad Irfan achieved

 

[Markhor]

Domestic cricket has done Wahab, world of good. Pak national players should be playing domestic cricket more often than not

They unfortunately think playing PSL, BPL, Euro Slam, T10, and every other mickey mouse league is more important.

 

[jnaveen1980]

HOpe Rohit stays longer. He can unleash his 6th gear.

 

[Draeoftroy]

Look how pumped he was for PSL.

Are the balls different in PSL?

Check Wahab ghatiya and short bowling, why was this guy brought back Inzamam should be arrested. Issko pakar ke maarna chahiya what he did to the batting in 3 years

 

[Darkness]

Always thought that Pakistani commentators were the worst of lot but boy could I have been more wrong

 

[castortroy]

Pitch is not that flat, just Rohit is making it look like it.

There’s still a bit of bounce and the odd one seaming.

Pakistan have just bowled rubbish, barring Amir.

Yeah bhuvi and bhumra will show us how to bowl on this wicket against

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Hasan ali and his short and wide stuffs... he should be dropped for this kind of bowling from the tourney, if couldnt amend that in this match...Rubbish

 

[Sherazkhalid]

May be finish off Ronaldo overs, he wasn't going for runs like Hassan.

 

[sadida97]

Pitch is not that flat, just Rohit is making it look like it.

Wahab?

 

[Madplayer]

Do we every get Kholi out cheaply lol

Seriously bar cl final I can't remember the last time we dismissed him below 50

Gul dismissed him early once in Asia cup.

 

[90MPH]

I say bring Shadab on.

You need wickets. He can bring one.

 

[Bilal7]

Hasan has really hurt us.

 

[oneindia]

Wahab bowling well here. Sarfaraz should bring Amir in, That would build pressure. N here is Amir, wow

 

[Titan24]

It's the Pakistan Cup where you had less teams and stronger teams.

True. I think playing that would have done better for Pak players than resting

 

[saeedhk]

Need a whole revamp top to bottom. Management and players need to be changed. Need a complete new mindset. Can’t win with cowards. Need a think tank which knows we can’t chase anything.

 

[JellyBro]

Cmon amir. Do your magic

 

[crazyfaizee]

every pakistani should offer namaz e istisqa for manchester now

 

[90MPH]

Wahab?

He’s bowled ok, but still spraying a few wide ones.

 

[Mueez]

Amir just two balls just two.

 

[amvbfm]

Finally Amir, perhaps three overs too late. He must get Kohli here if we are to have any chance of limiting them below 350.

 

[AdamM97]

He never had a high ceiling standing at 5 ft 7, we all had high expectations of him after the CT. But if he's not bang on the money, he's easy to score off. He's another Bilawal Bhatti (barring the purple patch in the CT).

Hassan Ali, Shadab and Faheem were great prospects. But they wanted to become Instagram models instead.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He never had a high ceiling standing at 5 ft 7, we all had high expectations of him after the CT. But if he's not bang on the money, he's easy to score off. He's another Bilawal Bhatti (barring the purple patch in the CT).

I called it few years back. He looks exactly like Bhilwal bhatti lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

abhee to pandya ne aakher shadab khan ki aisee taisee pherni he

 

[Chokli]

Need a think tank which knows we can’t chase anything.

Lol, you need a think tank then can improve the weaknesses.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Amir sledging Kohli

 

[Donal Cozzie]

They unfortunately think playing PSL, BPL, Euro Slam, T10, and every other mickey mouse league is more important.

Leave the Slam alone :

 

[JellyBro]

Junaid would have loved to go up against kholi

 

[DeadlyYorker]

a team which could not chase 308 against mediocore aussie bowling then dnt expect this team to chase 320 against high quality indian bowling..
frget ths match ... will have to win all remainig matches ..or hope for rain washout

Couldnt win your first match,couldnt win your last match,if u dont win this dont u think there is little chance you will all of remaining matches ?

 

[boomboom6]

now he brings on Amir, what a clown!

 

[Omer2002]

pathetic captaincy...when imad is in team why bowl hafeez or malik

 

[Markhor]

Remember all the propaganda about PSL helping our players become mentally tougher ?

What a joke ! Just a glorified holiday.

 

[adzzy786]

Honestly think Shaheen or Hasnain should have played over Hassan. Hassan has been poor all tournament at least with the other two they could have brought something different

 

[WebGuru]

Amir bowling on a different pitch?

 

[bluevision]

They missed a trick by not bringing in Amir as soon as KL got out

 

[castortroy]

Just look at Amir figures against Australia and today

Then compare him to the rest

Then you had fans that didn't want him in the squad at all lololololol

 

[big_gamer007]

Amir needs to bring one in otherwise he won't get a wicket.

 

[AdamM97]

Whatever happens today, at least people have realized this team and management is awful. Too bad this realization didn’t come earlier.

 

[Titan24]

They unfortunately think playing PSL, BPL, Euro Slam, T10, and every other mickey mouse league is more important.

When national set up has coaches like Mickey, Azhar and Grant playing competitive cricket at home becomes even more important.

 

[Gullycricket]

Cant believe we were going to drop Amir for WC

 

[castortroy]

Rohit Cruising to a 100

 

[PakWarrior]

Threatening rain looming in next hour or so

 

[Chokli]

Just look at Amir figures against Australia and today

Then compare him to the rest

Then you had fans that didn't want him in the squad at all lololololol

One fan wanted Hasnain over Amir in the 15

[MENTION=139505]Ilan Bluestone[/MENTION] was that you?

 

[adzzy786]

Why is Imad back in the team? A wasted spot

 

[oneindia]

Amir is killing whatever momentum we had. Still He got 5 overs, 30 balls, Kohli already looked scared **** here ( First time i have seen Kohli Scared). In meantime, thank shadab is back. time to ease in.

 

[Hawkeye]

Amir is the leader of this attack.

Miles above the rest. It's sad that haters kept attacking him in the last 1 year.

Clueless people.

 

[castortroy]

Threatening rain looming in next hour or so

Good. Our only saving grace

 

[imshally81]

Amir vs Kholi

 

[Madplayer]

Bowl a wicket taking one shadab

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Akhtar would be good but he wouldn't get along with the management,

Akhtar is buying managing his youtube channel now, he is competing with Jake Paul

It's everyday bro

 

[AdamM97]

Shadab has done well after that first over. Hasan ali on the other hand...

 

[JellyBro]

Sanjay already talking about a double hundred lol

 

[MMHS]

Ah stop. All you guys moaning about the wrong decision at the toss would have been saying they got it wrong the other way if Pakistan batting first and were 80/4 after 20 overs.

Nothing to do with the toss, India are just a superior opposition.

No more than 2 Pakistanis would be good enough to make the current Indian side, there is no surprise with what is happening here.

When you are underdog, best chance is to bat first, put a score and try to catch opponents off guard. CT Final was one such case and if you track history, most of the upsets in cricket has been done by batting first - ZIM vs AUS (1983), ENG (1992); BD V PAK, SAF; Kenya vs WIN.......

If PAK indeed found themselves at 80-4, still it's possible to put a partnership, bat out 50 overs, post a target around 250, and try to catch Indian top order with new ball. Batting first, even I am not sure this dynamic top order and classy middle order is capable of chasing 250 against Indian spin attack.

 

[Chokli]

Amir is the leader of this attack.

Miles above the rest. It's sad that haters kept attacking him in the last 1 year.

Clueless people.

He was awfully out of form.

I think he should have been given a long break, he's looked good after a month or two off.

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

Convinced Indian officials must hav talked about running on wicket before match.

All of sudden in this match.

 

[amvbfm]

Amir bowling on a different pitch?

More to do with Indian planning. They have decided to play out his overs. He will have to get wickets through extraordinary bowling as Indians don't plan on giving him any. All credit to them.

 

[AdamM97]

Akhtar is buying managing his youtube channel now, he is competing with Jake Paul

It's everyday bro

Shoaib Akhtars being way to nice to Indians, he wants subscribers.

 

[90MPH]

Amir needs to bring one in otherwise he won't get a wicket.

Lol. No left arm bowler can do that with a 28 over old white ball.

 

[FanofCricket]

Another defeat on the cards for Pakistan.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Cant believe we were going to drop Amir for WC

I keep on thinking the same thing over and over again.

 

[Madplayer]

Get him out on 99 lol
