You just attacked them that you don’t expect them to chase 250

No I did not I stayed the fact that match situation is such that, there is more chance they will collapse for 250. There is no restriction to criticise just do not make excuses when someone is doing well it is OK to praise them as they play for Pakistan
 
We were told Ifti is amazing batsman. Currently batting at 50SR chasing 350. He is reincarnation of Misbah.
 
No point of Babar Azam coming at 6 .just give both Saud and Harris some batting practice
 
Brilliant to see Rizwan and Babar demote themselves down the order too. So turns out they are not stat-padding at all!

Its more like a fear of losing. If Pakistan will lose by a huge margin people like Sikandar Bakht will shred the team to pieces. So maybe Babr is here to to as close to the target as possible if not winning it.
 
Not giving Saud game time here is cruel. He batted really well in the last game. Jus 1 game and these buffoons are afraid of losing their own place or their friends place in the 11

Ifthikar will scratch his way to make a 50(70) balls for his name and will be happy abt it.

Sadly that is the culture the team has developed because of the captain. Play for your useless personal milestones, team wins or loses does not matter.

I dont understand how people think you can stadpad in a warmup game.

Their hate of Babar has no bounds...

Someone needs to tell them stats in warm up games do not count, and when the world cup starts no one will remember who did what during warm up games.
 
What annoys me not that i blame any team. No body respects us which is fair enough. Take us for granted that we are awful just playing their part timers. We need to practice against Zampa and their real spinners yet they are destroying us with their par timers
 
New Zealand team chased the same score in 43 overs in the same ground. Shows wat pak team is made of lol :P
 
Labu is bowling better than Shadab.

And he is their 3rd spinner.

What does count is giving everyone a fair shot at batting practice. When King Bobby already got 80 odd last match what was the point of him coming out to bat in place of Saud. Or your love for Babar stops you from seeing that?

Yes as labuschange is real threat from bowling point of view. He is bowling his 4th over but gets only 1 wickets .

U mean Iftikhar is better than Babar?

Iftikhar is better batsman than Babar Azam on bouncy Australian tracks and spin helping tracks. He is also better at accelerating the innings and hitting boundaries in final overs.
Babar is good, but highly overrated and overhyped by his fans. His fans thinks, he is the best batsman currently with that average, but he is not even 25% of Kohli.
Enough said. 👍🏻
 
Shadab at the toss :"I'm that kind of captain that Babar Azam will field as well as carry drinks"

Tough guy
 
You have to give credit to Babar though.

He absolutely murders bowlers like Junior Dala and Marnus Labuschagne.

I think their plan involves getting the same treatment that clubber lang have to rocky during their first fight, SENA is clubber lang and pakistan is rocky who's going to get butchered 😂😂😂.
 
Labuchachchgchecheachgne is such a mazaydaar bowler
 
This is perfect scenario for babar - part time bowlers on. Let’s see if he is willing to risk it for a biscuit
 
Babar has probably told Iftikhar to forget about the target and go for your personal high score.

No interest in winning.

Have you seen Rocky 3?

Clubber Lang won the first fight, the Rocky demolished him in the final!
 
Aussies fielding stops a 4 while we comically let the ball slip to the boundary between two fielders

Gill and Malan are similar to Azam but they have attacking game whenever they want. Babar is on par with Devon Conway as an odi batsman (odis + t20s). He is not more than an accumulator who will score heavily on helpful tracks but with no great impact on the game. Plus, he is lucky to play more often on flat tracks against B teams.
Fact 👍🏻
 
Every other team will smack Mitchel marsh and Abbott bowling but here pakistan batsmen can't even take 5-6 singles
 
Lol Australians teasing Pakistanis by giving practise to their part timers against so called best player 😊😂😂
 
Where are the people who were crying about Babar and Rizwan's perceived selfishness? Without them, this batting lineup falls apart. Also, for the love of God, don't even hint at Sarfaraz Ahmed somehow being the missing link.

Those two are the best Pakistani batsmen across formats. If you can't see that, maybe change teams or sports.

These warm up games do not contribute to stats.

Don’t get sucked into the agenda driven analysis of fake Pakistan fans.

Babar could score 100 whilst spinning on his head and low IQ individuals would find something to cry about.

I fully expect Babar to score a 100 with Labu, Smith and Maxwell bowling.
 
This team reminds me of the 2015 team.

Other teams were scoring huge 350+ scores for fun and we were happy if we made it to 250.
 
The fact that Pakistan is so dependent on Babar to be remotely competitive against the top teams is terrifying. The younger lot i.e. Abdullah and the experienced players like Fakhar, Imam and Shadab are not stepping up. The worst thing possible is for all key players to lose form and confidence during the biggest tournaments.
 
SkY / Warner / Abdv would have sent that for a six. That’s how modern day cricket is played but pak brought Iftimania lol
 
Uncle ifti played out half the over against a part timer when asking rate is 8.5
 
Australia are toying with us.

Warner ?

Really?

Babar fans must be excited.
 
Chacha Ifti gets 2nd life line and is dropped off David Warner's bowling! What a joke...
