Losing against India today will be the final nail in the coffin on our rivalry

[Shafi]

Title says it all. We don't have any hand on toss but how Arthur and Sarfraz can drop Rummon and keep Imad. Today's match will be acid test of Pakistan team and if we loose this match means ICC should forget about making huge profit next events. No die hard fans wants to see a one sided match against their rival.

Your option please!!!!

Did the rivalry lose its sheen when India were the weaker opponent? Indian fans were still passionate inspite of losing, so why are Pakistani fans running away from a few defeats?

Come on....!

Once India was weak but not this much weak that you can predict match's results

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

No.

2019 cwc, t20 wc in 2020 are in pipeline to break the streak. You have already won twice in previous ct's.

its not sarfi's call, its PCB management's perticularly azhar mehmood's call in accomodating the two golden boys of PCB a.k.a imad wasim and muhammad amir

by god if they dont perform, should be kicked out of the team for ever

A loss will go a long way in checking the arrogance of Indian media. There is support for your team and love for your country, and then there is arrogance and hatred towards the other.

Few defeats? Pakistan has never defeated India ever in a knockout game in an Icc tournament.

Just losing wont do it, losing by a big margin may make rivalry less intense though.

 

[Sam18696]

Lol we won't win.

 

[hur rizvi]

You are right

 

[Sherlock]

I'm going to be honest here, and I apologise if I upset anyone - there isn't any rivalry anymore, not a competing for trophies one anyway. The only rivalry is between fans and their emotions.

India are a great side and have been competing at ICC tournaments for a decade or so now and are way ahead in aspect to professionalism and overall growth that Pakistan have been lacking and are lacking.

India-Pakistan is the ICC's only real big draw.

There was no final nail in the coffin

There was no final nail in the coffin

There actually was a nail hammered that day (pretty hard!) Its just that it wasn't nailed in the coffin.

Pakistan have been the better side at men's cricket, historically. There are no doubts about that.

The cricket landscape has changed a lot.. We were and still to some extent are the better test team, simply because we seem to perform more consistently than India overseas, although India has improved a lot now.

its the ODIs where we suck a lot. and also since we cannot play at home, our record is not where it would have been had we played at home. Playing in UAE is NOT playing at home.


its a surprise how well we are doing in T20 cricket though. Bottomline is Pakistan cricket is in safe hands and performing not at an excellent level but at a reasonable enough level. If they improved their test results a bit and also won more ODIs there would be no complaints.
