Pakistan v Afghanistan | Match 36, World Cup | Leeds | 29th June, 2019 | Afghanistan innings

Surely 125/5 isn’t bad.

Why are we whining, can we stop this rona dhona?
 
And imad takes a wicket. Now please get Amir and Shaheen back on and finish them right now.
 
That wicket has more to do with impatience of Afghan batter. There was nothing in the ball. Criticism on Shadab is valid for not turning thr ball where even part timers become unplayable. He is average spinner at best and that's a fact

Fair enough, maybe Shadab deserved some criticism there. But i’ve seen this happen too often where PP folks expect Pakistan to pick up a wicket every 2-3 overs.

And on that note: a wicket
 
Funny how PP folks were all over Shadab’s throat during that partnership and now Shadab picked a wicket. Seems like we’re a bunch of impatient bunch that panic everytime a partnership builds up.

This is a dry, turning wicket and Shadab is going at 5 rpo, bowling full tosses and giving easy singles. You'd expect your "lead" spinner to have more control than that.
 
Hearing that a Pakistani fan was beaten by a group of Afghani outside the stadium
 
Reading this thread it seems like Afghanis are 223-4 in 26 overs. So much negativity and impatience. Jeez.

This pitch will turn massively later on and anything over 200 becomes good total. I think you have been sleeping through this wc. Totals have been low and have been defended very well by good spin sides.
 
I don't think there has been anything great about Imad in this match.
The batsmen have just played nothing shots on his bowling.
If it was Indian or England batsmen against him he would have probably bowled 2 overs max on this type of pitch

Opinions change here after every over or perhaps after every delivery.
 
Oh come on, good spinners should be running through sides, on these wickets. He could not bowl 5 overs on rank turner the other day, the most useless spinner in entire WC 🙄🙄🙄

Do you really need to choke opposition, when they are two down inside 6 overs? IICRC, Imad hasn’t taken a wicket in this WC, when wickets are quite helpful to spinners. PAK is simply allowing to drift the game away - NRR could be an issue at the end and I am sure better idea was to play Hasnain & target Afghan helmet - has PCT tank noticed AFG batting against short ball?

Well well well...
 
Pak got this..every one is worried for nothing..minnow number 1 is going down today..number 2 is coming next match

Bunch of sore losers.

We have an intense rivalry with India.

Never seen them behaving like this.

Don’t know why Afghanis hate Pakistan so much?

I wonder who started it. Surely Afghans cannot overpower Pakistanis in a stadium filled with 80% Pakistan fans.
 
Fakhar has been a disgrace in this World Cup. Thankfully the stupid idea of making him captain will not gain steam now.
 
This Nigel long should take a long walk back to his home. He never gives decisions in favour of Pakistan.

Indians are not aggressive. They can verbally abuse you but they never try to physically attack you.

The only people that deserve to be angry at Pakistan is Bangladeshis and even they seem to treat us well. These Afghans are ah ungrateful bunch.

Wicket is not an issue but lack of common sense bowling. Look at Chahal and look at his bowling. There is hardly any flight or turn in Shadab bowling. He keeps bowling faster and fuller. There arr fundamental problems with our spin if they don't even turn thr ball here. Thank god Afghan are mediocre batsmen otherwise 110+ after 22 overs on this pitch with just 3 wickets lost could have been disastrous.
 
Why Afghanistanis hate pak so much? I always thought they have a good relation.

Exactly. I was so surprised to see Bangladeshi fans supporting us vs India in the Asia cup 2014. I was actually surprised.
 
So much crying in this thread when Pak are well on top and bowlers are bowling good . Two good reviews also taken by captain. Remember this Afghan team restricted India to 224.
 
Fakhar has been a disgrace in this World Cup. Thankfully the stupid idea of making him captain will not gain steam now.

In my opinion Babar has proved enough to be the future captain, i guess his century against NZ was the final approval of that just at the right time.
 
Pakistan serving Afghan boti in Leeds, no need to go Akbars, My Lahore, Taste of Pakistan et al.
 
Rashid, Nabi, Mujeeb on a spinning pitch, Hamid is an above average bowler as well, Ive got a bad feeling about this.

If Afghan gets 200 or over it will be difficult.

Our openers suck this World Cup, as much as I love Babar, he is a 40 averaging player spin, not as good compared to playing spinners, Harris will have to play well today.
