Not gonna happen,they dont have runs on board...

Thry have all fire power and skills of playing shots but problem with hecking too much is you lose wickets.

They need to learn skill named patience and strikr rotation

Even 200 will be a challenging total bro.

Afghanistan has a better bowling attack than us for this pitch.

Amir got plenty of lucky wickets initially but Law of Averages has started to intervene now. He has looked his usual toothless self in the last two games.

Amir looks decent this match, wouldn’t say he’s been toothless today.

i dont think they have any hitters that can leave the pak boys quaking in their boots...this is the last reco pair.....Whats a good score for afg in this match and context?...pitch looks a turning belter with even bounce.....
not much batting to follow after this....and i guess with ball getting old....riaz and aamir will get reverse on loop.......on another front...some commie mentioned Riaz is injured=fracture something...i mean i admire the dude's jazba to play when injured but surely with important matches coming up...he could have been rested.....as an indian fan-i so wanna see the young guy hasnan play....cheers

As usual volatile fans panicking for no reason

It's not that.

Pakistan IS a volatile team.

They will do good one game and then run out of gas the next game. Not consistent at all, and as a result its reflected by the fans.

27-29.

I know an Afghan praying in our Mosque- absolute bot in English (can speak now, enough for driving taxi). He had to fill up some form and came to me for help ..... registered age as 23..... and his eldest son (born in Canada) is 12 ......

Ahahaha wow these guys are desperate to fudge their age.
 
Long is doing some poor umpiring, may be isnt taking the hot weather too well. Also did a poor job earlier in the game when Naib nicked it and Pak reviewed.
 
Just watched a video of Afghan fans beating up Pakistani fans, Pakistan should smash them. What kind of behaviour is this ?
 
The have closed the angle at point and behind point: so the lefty’s scoring option is blocked somewhat
 
Bowl is reversing and I think Wahab is the best we have at that

Yes but Pak are doing well in last 2 games and also in this game. So why panicking?
 
One bad ball by wahab and ramiz is all over wahab. He has been brilliant so far in this WC

I think he is right. Nz game should have been toughest but we passed that test with flying colours batting and bowling. Bangladesh will push is the hardest but hopefully we will win.
 
Easy to be insensitive and laugh at Afghanis for their age-fudging, but it’s a consequence of belonging to a war-torn country. Opportunities don’t come easy for them they often get to knock on the right doors very late in life.

Whether they are in their 40s or 50s, the fact that they have reached this platform is testament to their character and resilience.

On the other hand, Pakistan with 200m population and second biggest market in the game, as well 13 times higher GDP than Afghanistan is shamelessly sitting at 6th and 7th in ODIs and Tests and take pride in it.

Volatility is a fancy word like unpredictability. The right word is mediocrity. There is a reason why we are ranked 6th. Stringing together two good games is an achievement for us.

Not every fan takes pride in being in 6th and 7th.
 
Anything over 220. We will loose this match!!!! Our captaina nd players have no pride at all. They are in picnic mood
 
What the hell this did capstan let them take easy singles? Bring the man in and force them to make a mistake

Disgraceful that video is. What happens when you make immature statements in government positions.

Never seen Indian and Pakistani fans fight like this. Don't bring football culture into cricket please.

Since Pak fans are known to not do things like these, without being there, I would say the doubt firmly goes towards Afghan fans. They have been the ones spitting out venom against Pakistan and trying to make a rivalry out of nothing really.

We need you as chairman pcb , prime minister, team captain as you seem to have figured it all out
 
Wahab should never have been selected for the WC. He is averaging in the 40s. He is not a wicket taker by any means.
