Pakistan collapse to 6-run defeat in 4th ODI against Australia despite Abid Ali, M Rizwan hundreds

[GreenKnightRises]

Well done Pakistan bench

 

[ManFan]

This is actually worse than the one run defeat to Australia in 2014 when Maxwell defended in the final over.

Congratulations to Australia, they look poised to win another World Cup Semi-Final spot.

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

Thats how you lose it. Pakistan inventing new ways to lose from winning position. Selfishness & Perchies won't make us win tournaments. I thought it was easy to understand.

Aur bhaiyon! kaisa diya?

 

[Madplayer]

As we have Adam Gilchrist and Dhoni waiting after Sarfraz.

Then create Gilchrists and Dhonis.

 

[Afhan Ali]

Pakistan cricket is done and dusted.

You are right
Watching world cup will be easy for us with nothing to loss attitude

 

[Savak]

India's and Big 5 philosophy is you max take the game to the second last over. Pakistan's chasing concept is so screwed up, you never ever leave things to the final over. And honestly speaking the selectors need to get tough, players who put their own individual performances ahead of the team need to be benched for a long time to send the message, there is no other way to curb selfish play at the expense of the team.

Rizwan is crap
Sarfraz is crap

Bhai kon se Dhoni or Gilchrist hei hamray pass apart these two WK available. Some fans are such fools

 

[MMHS]

PAK got 280 in first 2 games, because that was 330 tracks, not because the painstaking century that Haris or Rizwan scored. Today also, if PAK has to chase, team must not allow the asking to raise above 7 any time, better if they can keep it below 6. In modern games with Power Paly, the better teams often actually reduces asking against new ball and then allow it to grow slightly till 40 overs before final charge, but never allows the asking to go beyond comfort, be it at the cost of couple of extra wickets. With a good partnership, you can make up loss of extra wickets, but what is impossible is maintaining an asking of 150% (from initial asking) for 20+ overs, no matter how many wickets at hand - first batsman down, next man is instantly in at 7+ asking rate, which will inevitably lead to couple more quick wickets and the chase is over; end result might be a respectable defeat but that tactics hardly can win a game.

This was the 4th post of this thread - so yes, I'll shoot Haris for this. In modern game, you can't bat almost entire Power Play and bat at 58 SR. No way, no way - Aussies kept things tight and waited for a new batsman, extracted enough dots there after.

[Tabishbeigh]

It's one of those days when I really wish that BCCI could convince all international teams to boycott Pakistan.

 

[Mamoon]

You’re having the time of your life right now, where were you when a full strength Indian team got beat 3-2 in their own home to this Australia side?

We are a speck of dust compared to team India. Don't attempt to find joy in their lows.

Indian cricket left Pakistan cricket behind long, long ago.

 

[tonmoy]

These series does not matter for results....
Pakistan should be happy to uncover some good prospects before the WC. Abid Ali scored a century and a good find, so is hasnain.. Lots of positives.... That is what Pak should concentrate about, not the result..
Result would matter in the WC.

 

[Sherlock]

Wow

 

[WCWinnerPakistan2019]

Rizwan is a selfish player. For sake of Pak cricket please get rid of him. I also saw Abid Ali giving high 5's in dressing room after his dismissal. As if my job is done. I scored a century on debut, what else you want from me. Minnow mentality.

There is a difference between good and GREAT players! Greats, never get satisfied!

 

[ARK Rafay]

Btw there are around 16 teams in domestic first class? So there must be at least 16 WKs. But is there genuinely any WK batsman apart from Kami, Safi, and Rizz

 

[fluke]

I would have preferred an IPL game over wasting my precious 8 hours to this game

 

[Hawkeye]

Rizwan as bad as Sarfraz when it comes to batting, one thing is decided.

Imad Wasim is useless. Get rid of him before we lose too many. Anwar Ali version 2.

Umar Akmal sticking to his brain fades.

 

[Ahmed216]

Umar Imad and Saad scored 15 off 26 balls combined. And Rizzy played for his hundred.
Spineless, selfish fellas

 

[shah_1]

Then create Gilchrists and Dhonis.

Lol is it that easy?

Right now we don't have any. So no point talking about it

 

[urnotserious]

Well, this was fun to watch.

 

[iPakistani]

Then how is that same team getting beat 3-2 in their own grounds to one of the worst Australian teams. You have anti-pakistan agenda and it shows everytime we lose.

 

[Varun]

17 to win.

Lmao. My snowman will be black tomorrow if Pakistan win this [MENTION=132715]Varun[/MENTION]

Alas!

 

[Mamoon]

Compare their Test and ODI rankings to ours in the last 15 years and you will get your answer. Even the best team in the world can have a bad series. They will beat us black and blue 8 out of 10 times.

 

[PakLFC]

Rubbish! We should have won that one but again panicked in the end giving the match away. Two centurions yet could not get a rather low score is reason for concern. Being close does not make me feel any better at all when the fact is we are 4-0 down in the series. Allah help us if this team is the one playing in the WC.

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan innings One of the best I have seen

 

[Chokli]

) Some things never change

 

[Madplayer]

Alas!

Black snowmen matter

 

[Green Patriot]

Yasir is the positive for Imad in bowling

 

[Madplayer]

Rizwan innings One of the best I have seen

For opposition?

 

[Darkness]

Can't get more frustrated for Pakistani supporters

 

[Smbhayi]

wow how Pak manage to loss this game??? they were in great position when I last checked.. think U Akmal out Rizwan in for world cup..

But sadly the ratio has increased so much recently of losing matches

 

[Abu_Hamza]

Yes Sir, truth has been told by you so many times but some delued fans wont agree...Need to bring Bazid Khan as chief selector and Dean Jones as coach. Waqar as bowling coach and Inzy as batting coach.

 

[pakistan cricket fan]

How can you loose this Pakistan

 

[Sami92]

Time and time again, only Pakistan can have defeat from the position they were in !

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Yeah as opposed to us who have been playing our frontline bowling attack all series.....



Let me remind you that Shaheen, Hasan, Shadab and Hafeez weren't there.

True. I was just talking about the batsmen not having to face a front line Aussie attack to know their true worth. At the world cup, it will be different.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Think this Aussie attack was the easiest ever.

Kane, Coulter Nile, Maxwell, Lyon , Zampa and that's why we ran them close.

Actual WC attack would be

Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Zampa, Maxwell and I can bet my house that all the Pakistan batsmen will struggle against that attack.

 

[mesmerizer85]

When can we find a batsmen from domestics who actually has won it for the team many times while chasing...Aka like a Kohli or at least a Razzaq?
I don't think we have such a batsmen as each one plays for his hundred and then gets out....

 

[TeymurBlake]

It should be Riz. He needs to accelerate! We shouldn't have been in this position but we are

True. After the work Rizwan and Abid Ali, we should have won this.

 

[Sadozai]

Hack Asif Ali ki yad to I hogi aj

 

[K4Kohli]

Just saw the score board. How can a team collapse like that after two centuries )

 

[Mainul]

Bunch of chokers. Disgusting cricket.

 

[coy0607]

Rizwan was the set batsmen, and he carried through. How in the hell does he not score more runs in the last 10 overs - he played over 100 balls and still couldn't hit

 

[Manager101]

He still played at a strike rate of 100 and Abid Ali @ 94, while all others were playing test match.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Context is important.

He never took any risk in the 90s (specifically talking about Rizwan here because when Abid departed 60 off 53 balls is game in the bag).

By the time Rizwan reached 99 we required 22 off 12 balls.

I don't care if you have played amazing in the entire match and better than Shan, Haris and the other losers. The onus is on you, if you let the RRR reach 11 RPO from 6.5 RPO required while you have 7 wickets in hand.

People are just praising him for compiling the score, but do NOT realize, he HAD TO PREVENT this from happening.

Anyways, since people are happy in centuries, they will be happy.

Other batsmen also had a role to increase the run-rate but they wasted deliveries and then kept getting out.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Yes, they failed.

But that doesn't mean the set batsmen gets a free pass, because he scored a century.

I would go as far as to say, if you KNOW batsmen around you are struggling to up the ante, more so the reason, you should hit out.

If only two batsmen perform in one innings while most others get out in single digits at a mediocre strike rates then don't expect any team to win 8 out off 10 times.

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan needed 60 runs off 54 balls with 8 wickets.

It is only possible for Pakistan to loose from this position.

 

[Bigbb]

Still better than losing from a situation where you need 2 from 3 balls with five wickets in hand. People living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones on others.

Nice comeback. I hope we perform better than Bangladesh in the next world cup, considering the recent performance
