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

Looks like some personal Issues with Saud Shakeel, why this Agha dude getting chances again and again ?

Pakistan is getting practice, thats what matters.

Its a world cup and the spirits need to be high. Pakistan has lost a few games from asia cup up and its all about the spirit.

Thing is fansare enjoying it and loving it. No harm in that.

The issue is from the critics. Why is babar hitting runs ? Why is iftikhar hitting runs? First it was about iftikhar tuktuking than ots about iftikhar is scoring off part timers.

There is no consistency in the criticism.

We dont care about the milestones in this match, the actual fans are enjoying the game and want pakistan to get the right practicie which they dis with the spinners bowling.

Now babar has retired, and sent salman agha in, but still the haters will find reasons to critisize

I'm fine with enjoying the game, I am enjoying the bashing as well, nor do I hate babar for bashing lol, like what is babar suppose to do?

Not bash and say omg it's Warner so I shall chill?

Problem is everyone is using this to create a false narrative. Still I'm happy you're atleast aware of the truth, but are enjoying the game.

No shame In that.
 
Seems there is some personal agenda against Saud within the team management.

You must have enjoyed the tuktuking from chacha as it must have given you memories of Misbah batting?
 
I think Australia has known what they were looking for - Agger’s overs can’t be covered by their part-timers all of whom are wrist spinners. If Zampa has a little injury or needs a game or two off, there is no backup. Probably they are going to call Swepson or may be even Lyon!!!
 
Babar played well and I am really glad he retired to give others time.

He should do it more often.

Though I still maintain Saud should have come ahead of him.

We all know BAbar can bat.
 
Pak will go on to win this. But Australia seem to have squeezed the maximum gains out of it with Pak seemingly having the same questions that plagued them before the match even now. Aus have got v good idea of all their bowling reserves against a good batsman like babar under match situation.
 
Perfect situation for lower order to show their worth. Win from here would be huge confidence booster for them.
 
There is only one negative in the WC IMO

Harsha Bhogle.

What a useless and embarrassing commentator, never played a game of first class Cricket in his life, and think he understands the game. Anyone catch his laughable commentary today? "Who decided to have the V in front of the wicket".
 
Good on you Babar to retire and put the team's best interests first today as the other players in the side need this batting practice.
 
Everybody going Saud, Saud. What are we going to learn about Saud here? We know he can bat and should be our #4 in this world cup. He'll most likely be a #5 but he'll play. Let's give the others some practice. I don't like Salman, but he's there so we should give him some game time. You never know you might need him.

I mean major's point is to enjoy the game which is fair.

My major issue is trolls will use this and create a flash narrative

If we meet Australia again this time properly, everyone will say relax, we lost but remember how we crushed them like a champions team.

Trolls know full well, Australia destroyed us, we were beaten, game over simple as that.

I disagree with major about getting confidence match practise. Because if I was playing, I wouldn't be confident against Warner knowing he ain't bowling in the cup, I would be worried as to how we did against their frontline bowlers lol.

NZ and Aus gave us a minnow treatment, we on the other hand nearly played full strength, we ain't bowling rizwan or Fakhar to them 😂😂.

We knew this about Babar too.

Babar still came.
 
I've never been impressed by Agha and again he disappointed. I'd rather play Nawaz as a proper batsman over Agha.
 
Salman is as mediocre as they come. We've gone with a 14 man squad in this world cup, ladies and gentlemen. 12 if you consider the form of Fakhar and Shadab.

Feel like he came to steady the ship a bit, game could have fallen apart at 83-4. Plays out the nobodies and then retires to let the ones lacking match practice play Cummins and Starc :misbah
 
So the moment their main line comes back we flop? Lol, that's been the case the whole day, Babar can take solitude with some trolls thinking he's the 2nd coming of Bradman.

Imam and Abdallah as well... essentially we have no openers...
 
I was expecting Saud to bat at three today, but he had been ignored all together- won’t be surprised if they drop him all together from starting XI.
 
This new Australia is even scarier. No more foul - mouthed slandering . They make all sorts of nice feel good statements led by Cummins .

But are absolutely deadly on the pitch.

Some real trolling by Australia in this match.

As I was saying earlier, really smart stuff from Australia. Babar didn't get batting practice from none of their frontline bowlers. They bowled Warner fgs. If anyone of the green tinted hype brigade believe this was a deserved win then I can only laugh at their ignorance.
 
Oof Usama Mir comes out to bat but no Saud. I can't believe it.
 
The fact that they haven’t sent Rizwan shows Pakistan aren’t interested to win the game.

Rizwan would knock off this chase with ease.

A well earned rest is better for him though.

He wont play.

I know.
 
Dr_Bassim said:
Why should I retire?

I predicted something and Babar did the opposite.

I gave him respect for that.

If retiring is based on false predictions, you shouldnt be here on Pakpassion at all.

Prediction is one thing but writing large essays of fiction, inventing scenarios and bashing based on strawman you have created is another thing ....
 
He scored 90 runs from just 59 Against australia in Warm up match of World cup 2023! Well played, Babar Azam
 
I feel like cussing out on Babar, where is Saud ? Agha is braindead cricketer should play Asian games instead not WC
 
Bilal7 said:
Babar retired on 90. You should be ashamed. If you had any class, you would retire from Pakpassion until Friday as well.

Let's see it folks, do you think Dr sahab will retire?
Click to expand...

No offence but I would've retired long time ago if I was telling everyone that Junaid Khan should've been selected ahead of Shaheen for the 2019 WC.

I'd look in the mirror before telling others to retire.

Saud must play in the main matches. He is one of our best bats.

Babar as a captain is not the best.
 
Feel no pity to the haters who were claiming Babar was stats padding and would slow down for his 100, but instead he retired on 90.

I am sure the hater hymns will now change.
 
No Saud Shakeel batting here means Babar and co don't want him in the team because he's not approved by the clique. Sad times.
 
You gotta hand it to Aus, I didn't think it would be possible to top the humiliating defeat against India.

Australia have literally managed to troll the living hell out of Pakistan, so much so that they've literally managed to play mind games with every person on this forumn 😂😂.

What Australia did reminds me of what Bane said in the dark knight rises. Hope leads to despair, Australia fr trolled the crap put of us by giving us hope and then taking it away last minute 😂😂.

Giga chads fr.
