Doesn't seem like a great idea to say "the time for experimenting is over" when we've just been tonked in our last two games playing more or less the same formula.

)

when did they experiment? same opening pair pretty much all time followed by a load of tail enders.

worst captain/coach combo in pakistan history

 

[Sherazkhalid]

What's the word on Shaheen? Is he fit for this TriSeries?

I think worst captain-coach duo still remains with Afridi-Waqr.

 

[shamaan]

He will play the practise games before the world cup.

3:30am Uk

There was a time when I had so much passion for this team where I would do my best to stay awake or make a crazy effort to wake up at the time to watch such games and then flunk it through work/school or whatever the next day held for me with a migraine.

That passion seems to have died within. Nothing to look forward to really.

Yous sure this is nothing to do with aging?

Probably is

Priorities change.

 

[imshally81]

Please win the toss and bat first..

 

[Pakhs]

Probably is

Priorities change.

I know it was much easier to stay up and watch these games whenever Pak played in AUS/NZ when I was 10/15 years younger.

 

[mon858]

I know it was much easier to stay up and watch these games whenever Pak played in AUS/NZ when I was 10/15 years younger.

It's good timing for US, around 9 pm. However, if you have access to playback you could avoid checking score and then watch it like a live match while skipping 30 sec between each ball to speed through it. That is what I did for pak vs afg match when I had to be in a workshop that day.

 

[Justcrazy]

The middle order is still not existent .

There is no way you can win a tournament with this kind of approach. The middle oreder is struggling , Babar needs to bat at number three , he is not willing to come out of comfort zone , this is pathetic mind set , and on top of that Saqlain is low grade coach who is there to just make money .

 

[Maher96]

Weather will be a issue, the players will find it tough I reckon.

Should be a win but you never know, they might just continue giving masala news.

 

[light]

Ban is a weak T20 side. Hopefully Pak experiments with the batting a bit. Very top order heavy.

 

[TheAceOfSpades]

Any idea who is broadcasting these games?

 

[MenInG]

Bangladesh win the toss and have decided to field first against Pakistan

 

[ChTab]

Babar again with his typical 160-170. He's a mental midget

 

[ha5is12]

Morning chaps nice and early one in the UK today lol

 

[Zeshan547]

Babar Should be Renamed Mr 160. He seems like he is some robort, who is programmed to say the same stuff. Great batsman but such boring captain.

 

[MenInG]

He the one who has seen the pitch.

 

[Zeshan547]

Wasim again over Hasanin and Naseem. Only consolation is that good for nothing KS is not playing.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Whats with the 160/170 love. I don't know when will our mindset Change

 

[Zeshan547]

Whats with the 160/170 love. I don't know when will our mindset Change

Bhai actually if you think its realistic target because even on good day iss team ke auqat and potential he itni hai.

 

[MenInG]

Haider Ali and Dahani back in the side

 

[Nasty Naz]

Good that they're still sticking with Haider and giving him another chance. Been a struggle for him big time but hopefully he can get inning with a big innings.

 

[ChTab]

He the one who has seen the pitch.

He said the same thing on every pitch, don't you remember when he said about the pitch where Eng chased 170 odd in 15 overs.

 

[Suleiman]

Bab’s obsession and love for Wasim and Dahani continues. He really has it out for Hasnain. Holding that one over against him, despite all the good overs he’s bowled. Wasim bowls dross. Dahani is an entertainer on screen which is good to balance out our snail pace batting but is a middling bowler.

 

[Zeshan547]

He said the same thing on every pitch, don't you remember when he said about the pitch where Eng chased 170 odd in 15 overs.

Even though they can't make 200 realistically every game but at least as they say aim higher.

 

[saabir]

For those in India only Amazon Prime showing live streaming. Live not available on any TV channel

 

[Suleiman]

Also why drop Aamer Jamal after two games?

This constant chopping and changing is why our players play in fear of their livelihood.

How would we play if we have 1-2 games MAX to prove our worth as cricketers? We’d be scared s***less.

He is far superior to fake allrounder Was Jr.

Bad team selection as no Husnain and Naseem... We need 25+ extra runs for Waseem Junior & Dahani

Wasim is new Hassan Ali it seems by looks of things.

 

[sweep_shot]

Don't want to see an one-sided game. It will be a good game hopefully.

 

[ChTab]

Even though they can't make 200 realistically every game but at least as they say aim higher.

If you can't score 200 vs Bangladesh(who are an associate level team) in smallish ground you might as well quit cricket.

 

[saabir]

Why Hasnain not playing. He is better than Wasim jnr and Dahani both in terms of pace and skills.

 

[sweep_shot]

Why Hasnain not playing. He is better than Wasim jnr and Dahani both in terms of pace and skills.

I think Dahani is better than Hasnain.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

He the one who has seen the pitch.

Not sure if serious bhai.

He says the same regardless of the pitch.

Because that let's the two openers play without taking risks.

ThankGOD Hassnain is in the WC squad ahead of overrated Dahani

 

[MenInG]

He as a captain needs to know what is the best way to approach this game. We cant be 45/5 in pursuit of some mythical 200+ on this pitch.

 

[boomboom6]

Shan in the line up again ... this is not a serious team

 

[Suleiman]

Wasim is new Hassan Ali it seems by looks of things.

He’s worse. Hasan at least was instrumental in us winning CT17.

 

[ChTab]

I think Dahani is better than Hasnain.

Dahani might seem better because of his theatrics but in reality atm he is very very average bowler. Hassnain has shown on multiple occasions the quality he has, he just need to work on death bowling & he can be as good as Rauf.

 

[sweep_shot]

I feel like these national anthems during bilateral games are unnecessary. These should be done during big events only.

 

[Suleiman]

Not sure if serious bhai.

And based on Ramiz’s most recent interview we also know that all of PCB is backing Babar and the rest of the team’s draconian batting approach.

 

[msb314]

Hope for a big win tonight

 

[Suleiman]

Dahani might seem better because of his theatrics but in reality atm he is very very average bowler. Hassnain has shown on multiple occasions the quality he has, he just need to work on death bowling & he can be as good as Rauf.

Literally was just telling my friend this. I don’t think he rates Hasnain but I do. I also suspect that he’s been duped by Dahani on theatrics alone lol.

You need to watch games instead of just follow scorecards to see Hasnain has serious potential.

 

[msb314]

Let’s see if we go bang bang o these NZ pitches

 

[ChTab]

Why there's a need of national anthems before the start of random matches. If it's a WC final it's fine but other than that it seems as pointless as the national anthems in Pakistani cinemas before the start of Bollywood or Hollywood movies.

 

[msb314]

Wow lots of swing

 

[msb314]

Don’t leave balls

 

[imshally81]

Heavy swing

 

[boomboom6]

Should have gone with Asif/Rizwan to open ... Babar/Haider to follow then Shadab, Jamaal, Nawaz but nope sticking to the same lame tactics ... this team deserves to get sent home after the 1st round

 

[msb314]

Tuk tuk as always

 

[sweep_shot]

Taskin is getting swing.

Condition seems great for fast bowling.

 

[ChTab]

Certainly, people on this forum go on & on & on about Dahani but everytime I see him bowl I see a player who is just decent atm & has an ability to maybe have a career like Hassan Ali. OTOH if Hassnain can get his head straight & start working on his flaws there's a very good chance he can be as good as Rauf or maybe even Shaheen as well.

 

[MenInG]

Wow lots of swing

Lets leave expectations from Pakistan pitches out of this series.

This first game will show us what is realistically possible as scores.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

this team ain't doing **** in WC

 

[ChTab]

Expect Babar to start play his brilliant test innings.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan are being cautious.

 

[JilaWatan]

Great start. Key is to save wickets. Nothing else matters

 

[imshally81]

Wide

 

[sweep_shot]

It seems very windy out there.

Typical NZ condition.

 

[Shafi]

200+ pitch and our batsmen look like they are happy to score around 140. No future for this team

 

[Sherazkhalid]

120 coming up

 

[Suleiman]

Is Shakib injured or rested?

If rested then that’s a massive insult to Pakistan team and we need to delivery a proper phainty to Bangladesh so they don’t make this mistake again.

 

[imshally81]

4444

 

[Nasty Naz]

Anyone know how many tosses Babar has lost this year? Seems like a lot.

 

[imshally81]

Outfield is super quick

 

[ChTab]

Batting vs an associate level team & guess what after 1 over in a T20 score is 1 while #1 & #3 batters are batting
Those rankings are a joke.

 

[ChTab]

Babar said it again at the toss that they're looking for 160-170

Shakib just came from CPL. Resting probably.

Rankings are based on runs , not impact in the game

 

[Justcrazy]

That has been the template throughout , that is why you needed Mickey Arthur.

 

[light]

I thought Shakib was the BD captain. Did they change captain this close to the WC? lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Yes , save wickets , wait for lunch

 

[Sherazkhalid]

back to slowness
