Pakistan (337) lose their final warm-up game of ICC World Cup 2023 to Australia (351/7) by 14-runs

After Marsh, Labuschagne, Smith now Warner 😂😂 Babar Azam needs to pay Australian team meals after the match.
 
Chacha gets to his 50! Mighty innings after surviving drops off Smith and Warner
 
Warner bowling and pakistan fans will be happy calling babar azam the saviour of Pakistan with his 50 😂😂😂.

Oh god, NZ and Aus have ironically humiliated us even worse then India.

Atleast with India we can claim they were on their A game. These 2 sides are literally pitying us at this point.
 
Australia is such a clever team, they are keeping part time spinners ready for the main event. In India if there anything special for the spinners, you just have to bowl and reap the benefits. Part time spinners will play crucial role in this WC.
 
Something tells me that Chacha is not retiring after scoring his 50...Just like he will never retire from Pakistan cricket even when he is well into his 60s...

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.

Imam and Fakhar showed some form today which was promising. Abdullah is simply making it easier to give Fakhar an even longer rope, which isn't a bad thing.

Shadab seems completely shot though. Can't bat, can't bowl and pretty soon he's going to have lapses in the field too.

I wouldn't play him against Netherlands. Hopefully, Nawaz steps up with the bat.
 
For all those mentioning part timers - why didn’t you say the same when we lost to NZ..

Was that game more “important” than this one??

Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Labu too

All 3 have a decent number of Tests wickets, especially Smith who started off as a bowler - so at the very least, they are decent bowlers and understand basic line and length, just not frontline bowlers.

BUT Pakistan being Pakistan, have the ability to make jokers look like kings, and kings look like jokers, all in the space of 5 overs.
 
Why didn’t Saud come in , and what was the point of Shadab coming in

Who brings Warner on to bowl?

Mate, this is a new low. Pakistan hitting boundaries and scoring runs, and now its a case of Australia do not care about the result?

Perhaps Pakistan did not care about the result vs NZ warm up?
 
I love this from Babar and Chacha. Not their fault they are bowling these bowlers
 
2 overs 41 runs for Warner. Special treatment by Bobby and Chacha.

Yeah because Warner will bowl in the real game.

Sure.

Smith also.

Ifti has been in good form, ngl. This is very good for Pakistan.
 
Come on Chacha and Babar!

It might be raining water in the other warm ups, but it is raining 6s here!

Love it!
 
Warner got the perfect treatment and now he can do his pushpa dance
 
Good batting by Iftikhar . Pakistan is strong position to win this match. Great sign ahead 9f main event

But you will not hear a complain from the Agenda posters as you heard for Rizwan .

Mate do yourself a favour and stick to positive thoughts only.

Dont contemplate cricket.

Australia have ONE specialist spinner in their SQUAD. Maybe thats why they are trying out their spin options.

Smith and Labu will definitely get a bowl. Warner might have as well if these two hadn't thrashed him like this.
 
Only 11 overs in

Ignore them.

As I posted earlier, it's a warm up game. Pakistan never bowled out some of their main bowlers here or in the previous match.

Its all about playing various players, heck last time Ifty came down so far down the order, here he is higher up. All experimentation.

In terms of the cricket, I like Ifty at no. 4 because it allows him to build his innings and build. Rizwan at 5 is much better. 6 and 7 are up for debate.
 
Woo hoo, Babar with his 50, once again proving why he's the no 1 batsmen in the world.

You all doubted the man, but when he came in when pakistan were down and out and was forced to deal with legendary bowlers like Warner, but he preserved and steered us through this dark period. 👏🏻👏🏻.

Australia please just stop humiliating us. If we beat Aus, it'll ve even more embrassing because pakistan will go on the media and say Warner was a tough bowler to play but we did it through hard work 😂.
 
150-odd from 20. Time for Chacha to hit out or get out. Babar and Rizwan can finish this off in their sleep.

It is a WARM UP!

And we know Babar and Rizwan will not be batting down the order in a real game either. What's your point?

Ask yourself why Starc or Cummins are not bowling!? This is the question!

Smith is a bonafide part time bowler! His career started off with bowling!

It is you who needs to stick to positive thinking and stop finding inconsistent reasons to diss Pakistan!

Time for some hippy love!
 
Pakistani fans are the most funny.

They think smacking Warner and Smith means Pakistan is experimenting.

Babar is the biggest stat padder I have seen in cricket.

To be completly fair to babar, I don't think he'd complaining right now, I bet he'll retire the moment stark and Cummings come on to bowl along with zampa 👀

To be fair, he didn't know Aussies were going to bowl Warner and Smith when he came out to bat...
 
Labu is the only worthy 6th bowling option. Smith is not a regular bowler. I am not sure if they want to decide between stoinis and labu. Australia has zampa. With Agar out they have no one else. Tricky situation as Head is also out.
 
Nawaz needs to come in next, not Agha. Iftikhar and Saud have cemented their spots.

If Nawaz gets a 50 today, it will be pretty darn awesome. We can then drop Shadab and play Usama.

Dr can predict the future.

He has already predicted that Babar is stat padding, we will win the match and has imagined Babar fans celebrating.

So its likely he has predicted that Babar knew who was going to bowl.

We just have to pretend that his earlier prediction of Babar sitting out because he was knew he wouldn't be able to statpad never happened.

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. 👍🏻

Ok ur opinion.
I'd rate Babar's hundred at the Gabba better than anything Iftikhar has done in Aus so far
 
Those who were praising Maxwell as very good bowler will now call him part time as Babar hit him for 2 boundaries
