Pakistan slump to massive seven-wicket defeat to West Indies in the 2nd match of the 2019 World Cup

[Rayyman]

I'm dreaming Amir just took a wicket

 

[Ronaldo7]

Clueless fans cheering. Go home

Jeez.they're just having fun.

 

[Ahmed216]

Before Hasan, the guy with 5'10"-11" ish height took new ball for long time regularly was someone Malcolm Denzil Marshall.........

Hasan is not more than 5'8".
Ajit agarkar from India was of similar height

 

[Titan24]

Had Pakistan scored 250 this windies would have been gone for 100

If even we would have batted full 50 overs could have tried to make a match out of it

 

[usman.sandhu]

That'll be the cherry on top...

I don't remember when we had a worse fast bowling attack... completely incapable of making any impact... even in English conditions...

 

[AdamM97]

They were playing against minnows - didn't get charged up. Today they are playing an elite team - it's not comparable.

I wouldn’t call Pak an elite team now but yes, WI didn’t even play all their best players in the Tri series against BD and Ireland. Having said that, Bangladesh is a good team nevertheless.

 

[Mamoon]

Apart from Malik coming in for Haris, we will probably play the same XI against England.

 

[Shafi]

This is the best time to play against Pakistan. Demoralized , humiliated. I wish our first match was against them!

Don't worry our team will be even more worse with time so it will give opposition team more advantages.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

How do you guys have the money and bellies to eat out so much

I once feared to bankrupt a Chinese restaurant and their all-you-can-eat sushi. I was there every Sunday. Bargains are hard to pass by.

 

[ExpressPacer]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] My father recently got me to drive all the way to Peshawar because he wanted to have Charsi Tikka. I dont understand the hype. What do you make of it?

 

[Rayyman]

Literally all I spend money on is clothing and eating out. Going out to restaurants, especially posh ones has recently become ingrained into Pakistani culture. This was not the trend before.

Interesting.

I personally don't enjoy the posh or fancy style restaurants.

I guess I'm more traditional American.

 

[AdamM97]

Why weren’t we getting the wides when we were batting?

 

[Shafi]

If even we would have batted full 50 overs could have tried to make a match out of it

False hope. This a 350+ pitch. WI would have won the match by 40 overs

 

[Sin Nombre]

WI would bat more sensibly if they were chasing 250.

Makes sense to be reckless with this chase.

 

[AAli98]

Pak have a wckt someone must have told them the bookies have raised the odds.

 

[ARK Rafay]

68 needed off 45 can Windies chase thise?

 

[Rayyman]

Wowwww!

Screw these freaking umpires calling wides on us now

smh

 

[Titan24]

False hope. This a 350+ pitch.WI would have won the match by 40 overs

More runs = more chance. Its not hope pure maths

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] My father recently got me to drive all the way to Peshawar because he wanted to have Charsi Tikka. I dont understand the hype. What do you make of it?

It is an acquired taste. You need to have it a few times before you appreciate it. Did you go to Namak Mandi?

The quality of meat matters a lot as well, you have to get lucky and go on the right day. You might like chapli kabab more.

 

[MMHS]

Oh aren't you having a field day.

No, I am not enjoying it definitely - only 4-5 posts since morning because I know it's coward to kick at someone already on mat, which some of you don't know. Otherwise could have rubbed it really rough, and some of you deserve that, but I am better than that, you should know.

 

[AdamM97]

68 needed off 45 can Windies chase thise?

50/50 ya know

 

[FanofCricket]

Missing misbah ul haq after seeing such Horable batting display. He used to save Pakistan always in difficult situation remember WI vs pak 2013 champion trophy where misbah played outstandingly after roach demolished pak top 3.

 

[Asif321]

Change the bowler

 

[jagatk]

Why weren’t we getting the wides when we were batting?

Because they weren't bowling way over the batsmen's head.

 

[MMHS]

I wouldn’t call Pak an elite team now but yes, WI didn’t even play all their best players in the Tri series against BD and Ireland. Having said that, Bangladesh is a good team nevertheless.

WIN played their best bowlers, barring Russell. But, that doesn't explain 105 - remember, it's 105 after 86-9.

 

[Shafi]

The celebration of taking 1 wicket is pathetic as if we took 9th wicket.
Mediocre captain Sarfraz still keep on Hasan.

 

[Mean&Green]

It is an acquired taste. You need to have it a few times before you appreciate it. Did you go to Namak Mandi?

Charsi tikka wth is that do they put charas in it?

 

[AdamM97]

Because they weren't bowling way over the batsmen's head.

Yes they were in MANY instances.

 

[jagatk]

Yes they were in MANY instances.

Go check the commentary.

 

[szundercover]

Hassan Ali should be benched next game.

 

[AAli98]

Missing misbah ul haq after seeing such Horable batting display. He used to save Pakistan always in difficult situation remember WI vs pak 2013 champion trophy where misbah played outstandingly after roach demolished pak top 3.

Misbah would have scampered to 240 but these days 360 is par, he would have just delayed the inevitable..

 

[Ronaldo7]

Pakistan's nrr is going to take a proper beating.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Yes, Namak Mandi. I guess I'll give it another shot soon. I have a lot of friends and colleagues from Peshawar that love the place.

 

[FanofCricket]

Poor captaincy should have brought hafeez against Gayle.

 

[Snatch]

What a catch! Amazing & what a wicket for Pakistan.

That will give them confidence!!

 

[Asif321]

Hassan another overrated PSL hero

 

[Fineline]

Hassan will make sure West Indies chase down the total within 15 overs!

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Morons bowling slower balls and length just bowl short like they did who cares you’ve already lost keep bowling short short short

They'll get thumped into the stands. Do you think all teams play short bowling as badly as Pakistan?

 

[ExpressPacer]

Need to get Gayle and we might even have a chance!

 

[Asif321]

What a catch! Amazing & what a wicket for Pakistan.

That will give them confidence!!

AhhahahHh

 

[Shafi]

So all those false hopes for scoring 340+ runs. In proper pitch we will not even score 200 runs and people talked about "We are 280 runs team"

 

[Snatch]

Poor captaincy should have brought hafeez against Gayle.

Are you following the commentators who just made that exact point?

 

[Ellipsism]

Wa wa Amir

 

[volcyz]

Amirs pace is a joke

128-130kph

 

[AdamM97]

Need to get Gayle and we might even have a chance!

Hetmyer is still not in. Don’t forgrt Russell either.

 

[babajee]

Amir still effective at 130ks. Wow.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I remember having some amazing chapli kebabs in Peshawar when my cousins lived there. Also had a lot of other great food. Nevertheless in terms of food I would rank major Pakistani cities as

Karachi
Lahore
Peshawar
Islamabad
Multan

Some of the food up north like the amazing Chanay is really great as well

 

[Mamoon]

Charsi tikka wth is that do they put charas in it?

Charsi tikka was a famous shop back in the 70’s and 80’s. The owner used to smoke chars all the time and that is how he got his name.

It became so popular that there a dozen restaurants now who have borrowed his name.

 

[Asif321]

Get Wahab now stop this Hassan

 

[MMHS]

Hasan is not more than 5'8".
Ajit agarkar from India was of similar height

Then imagine ... pundits here suggesting for him to be the NEW BALL PACER!!!! But, why the guy is bowling with scrambled seem with 3 overs old ball!!!!!

 

[AdamM97]

Amir still effective at 130ks. Wow.

More Pace would make him destructive. Too bad he has lost it.

 

[Mean&Green]

Lol Amir realized now that u have to hit the pitch to get it to bounce that’s what he was telling Sarafraz I’m done

 

[Darkness]

The food talk is way more entertaining than the match lol

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Good by Amir at least

 

[IMMY69]

Well at least Amir is back in the wickets.

He's our best bowler by a distance.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

I would drop hasan for hasnain in next match

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Amir 2 wkts already. This is why I said Amir is important.

 

[Pete Rose]

Pitch has bounce

 

[ExpressPacer]

Hetmyer is still not in. Don’t forgrt Russell either.

Yes but one wicket brings two. Gayle releases pressure, the rest wont be able to do the same. We need to build scoreboard pressure.

 

[Mean&Green]

Charsi tikka was a famous shop back in the 70’s and 80’s. The owner used to smoke chars all the time and that is how he got his name.

Sounds pretty interesting but I live far far from Peshawar

 

[shariqnoor]

Get them at least 5-6 down. Show some fight.

 

[Titan24]

Amir still effective at 130ks. Wow.

Bowling lines and lengths with bit of movement is more important, however when you can do these things with pace that its cherry on the cake

 

[AdamM97]

I would drop hasan for hasnain in next match

God no. Keep Hassan Ali but play him in the middle overs. Hasnain and Shaheen are way too raw.

 

[emranabbas]

And people wanted amir dropped
Wahab will be effective too

 

[Snatch]

I thought Amir was left out of the squad initially. Was there an injury?

 

[volcyz]

Amir the green track specialist

 

[Hasan123]

At least Amir is getting into some form.

 

[Mean&Green]

Even gayle respecting Amir cause he knows he can make up for it with Hassan

 

[emranabbas]

Loving the amir chant in the crowd

 

[AdamM97]

Please play wahab or spin.

 

[Ellipsism]

First time since the champions trophy final that Amir has taken more 2 or more wickets in an ODI.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Hasan has lost his marbles

 

[marlonbrowndo]

I remember having some amazing chapli kebabs in Peshawar when my cousins lived there. Also had a lot of other great food. Nevertheless in terms of food I would rank major Pakistani cities as

Karachi
Lahore
Peshawar
Islamabad
Multan

Some of the food up north like the amazing Chanay is really great as well

Honestly I’d rank Multan above islamad/Pindi. Some amazing fish

 

[Titan24]

Even gayle respecting Amir cause he knows he can make up for it with Hassan

More than 50% of the shots Gayle played against Hasan were miscues

 

[Fineline]

Amir the green track specialist

How is this a green track?

 

[volcyz]

Amir bowling like Glenn McGrath

 

[Mean&Green]

The only time we pick up wickets in the power play our team has only scored a 100

 

[Snatch]

And Pakistan go bang bang. West Indies wobbling here.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

If we pick up some wickets would boost the teams confidence too.

 

[emranabbas]

Should bring on wahab instead or Hasan or even hafeez
