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

[DRsohail]

Mr Specialst captain well done now cole back with pride.

 

[m.shah]

no disrespect pakistan are chokers while chasing only on few instances they will win that too not comfortably

Can't agree more. Losing to Afg of all people

 

[CricFan2012]

Imad sucks

 

[big_gamer007]

Need to target Pacers otherwise will be difficult

 

[JaDed]

Not a good throw Nabi

 

[dani rana]

Pakistan team muradabad

 

[Nov15]

Gotta quickly download Shoaib Akhtar’s video incase he removes it!

 

[Shafi]

Why these idiots tuktuking. Loosing this match will take us out of the WC. RR will not matter anymore.

 

[jusarrived]

Pak muffed up not cashing in against naib and shinwari

 

[xbronze]

Pathetic set of unfit players, resulting in this mess. Can't field well. Can't catch well. Can't run well. And want to be in the semi final. Lol. What a joke. Especially sarfraz. Deserved special treatment from fans.

But when the video came out of Pak fans calling Sarfraz fat at the stadium, most people on this forum criticized fans for 'body shaming' poor Sarfaraz.

What I dont understand is that if physical fitness is the absolute basic minimum one would expect from international athletes especially the team captain why were pakistan fans so upset at people 'body shaming' safaraz for being overweight, when he was photographed taking our 'ice cream sundaes' and other fatty food on the eve of a match.

 

[Bewal Express]

Imad has had a fortune invested in him,let's see if he can repay with the bat because he is awful as a spinner.

 

[castortroy]

This defeat will hopefully send real shock waves in pak and they will actually take action

CL win is long gone.

Name a new captain and drop certain players as well as a new coach

 

[jnaveen1980]

They are bowling a bowler short. Good fight by handicapped Afghanistan.

 

[ekpakistani]

The only silver lining in a defeat here means no fluky SF run papering over the cracks enabling Wasim Khan to shake up domestic system from top to bottom.

Some of the lot should be arrested .. For their role in state of our cricket

 

[Justcrazy]

Hope i never see these two fake allrounders again

Why Pakistan expects only lower order to perform with both bat and ball ?

Why the main batters cannot win. No one says ever that why Hafeez , Fakhar , Harriss cannot pick up wickets .

 

[FanofCricket]

Its done and dusted for pak now.

 

[Ahmed216]

The only silver lining in a defeat here means no fluky SF run papering over the cracks enabling Wasim Khan to shake up domestic system from top to bottom.

Ohh yes i really dont have any problems with this defeat

 

[Titan24]

This was a train wreck waiting to happen.

Pakistan being knocked out of world cups by minnows is not exactly a new thing.

True we have a history of loosing to minnows. In 1999 when BD was a minnow, 2007 against Ireland.

 

[MisbahTheGreat]

Guldabin is a buffet bowler. Problem is can't afford to go after him and lose a wicket here

 

[BleedGreen]

64 from 50

 

[Sin Nombre]

 

[Sherazkhalid]

There goes 1992, no one is talking about 1992 today.

 

[AdamM97]

This match is a proof that we need quality spinners.

 

[JaDed]

Match still to go, lets not forget Gulabdin is the worst bowler ever and Afg dont know how to win

 

[BleedGreen]

 

[Warfare]

How can Imad call himself a batsmen when he plays across the line? Knowing not to do that is elementary.

 

[FanofCricket]

This defeat will hopefully send real shock waves in pak and they will actually take action

CL win is long gone.

Name a new captain and drop certain players as well as a new coach

and also will silence some rude and disrespectful comments from shoaib akhter as well.

 

[Napa]

Two Pakistani batsmen who were out not given, one a catch another a plumb LBW. Wonder what all the posters like [MENTION=48620]Cpt. Rishwat[/MENTION] who keep accusing the umpires of bias against Pakistan have to say now?

 

[AdamM97]

There goes 1992, no one is talking about 1992 today.

If we end up winning this, be assured that we will compare it to the NZ match.

 

[CricFan2012]

Shadab won't need to DM any girl again if he miraculously takes us home

 

[ekpakistani]

We lost this... Anyone else thinking otherwise is day dreaming

 

[big_gamer007]

Pakistan will still win this for sure. Afghanistan don't have it in them to give the killer blow

 

[Green Patriot]

These players have no pride.
After the sort of things said by the Afghan chief one would expect them to come out all guns blazing.

 

[dani rana]

Shame on those supporting this coward captain

 

[Ganju Baba]

Gulbaden is a grade A *****. Pathetic bowler.

 

[Titan24]

There goes 1992, no one is talking about 1992 today.

There were only 8 teams back then so there are two extra

 

[BleedGreen]

59 from 48 required. Get to 40 from 30 required.

 

[Asif321]

What was need of risky run?
Pathetic from Sarfraz knowing he is last batsmen and can play spin
Stupidity at best and will throw us out of tournmanent now

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Gulbadin is going to lose the game for Afghanistan

 

[JaDed]

My God worst bowler ever

 

[FanofCricket]

60 from 48 with rashid khan looks steep, steeper than mount everest.

 

[AdamM97]

Finally a four. Need more of these. Imad and Shadab, the so called all rounders have something to prove here.

 

[Green Patriot]

Pakistan will still win this for sure. Afghanistan don't have it in them to give the killer blow

Dil bohat dukh raha hai.Mat karo abhi yar.

 

[DRsohail]

Hopefully PCB will realise this and send these zombies back home and we can think of future.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Semis or no semis, win this game.

 

[Nov15]

Will Pakistan be out if they lose this?

No. If England lose both, and Sri Lanka lose both, and Bangladesh lose to India, then Pak vs Ban game becomes quarterfinal.

 

[BleedGreen]

We are surprisingly, still not out of the tournament even if we lose today

It's obvious ICC wants Pakistan to go through to semis. Blatantly obvious they want money maker match against India

 

[Shafi]

England lose all their games.

India beats england, sri lanka and bangladesh.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh will be a QF then.

Batting like this?? BD has has far better spinner than AFG and batting Sakib> Afg 11.

 

[pakpassfan]

Imad will show you people why he should be considered one of the best all rounders out there.

 

[sahiwal_punjabi_786]

this is going to the wire

Yeah, because the hypocrisy is entrenched in our blood. Also, we love to be delusionals. It's obvious that any sports need fitness. And it was missing in Sarfraz. And others. But no, God forbid if someone makes it a requirement or talks about it.

 

[JellyBro]

Can imad pull a razzaq?

 

[m.shah]

He is the culprit

 

[big_gamer007]

Dil bohat dukh raha hai.Mat karo abhi yar.

Ok brother I won't .. good luck to Pakistan

 

[bluevision]

3.6 million watching this match live on Hotstar

As opposed to 850K in Aus NZ stream

 

[AdamM97]

All i want from this team is to not lose to freaking Afghanistan. I do hope we lose in the semis or against BD so PCB does something about the damn team.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

I still have some hope on these 2 and Wahab can swing ...

Take it deep guys

Neither was a marginal decision either.

Haris nicked and immediate reaction was of someone who had nicked

Imad was plumb with the ball hitting middle and off.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

We are done and dusted here, 1992 is dead for another 4 years.

 

[DRsohail]

Pakistan will still win this for sure. Afghanistan don't have it in them to give the killer blow

You are expecting too much from these too.

 

[BleedGreen]

59 from47

 

[Hasan123]

Imad is doing the right thing by looking for bouandires.

 

[FanofCricket]

Imad taking a single hoooooooooo

 

[xbronze]

Ridiculous that win predictor says Pakistan only 29% chance of winning and Afghanistan 71%, at this point. I think Pakistan has the edge even at this position.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need a miracle here

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan dont deserve to be in semis.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Who is left after these, Wahab, Amir and Shaheen, this game is over.

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Lakh gi lannat Puri team nou zyaada lannat for captain

 

[Shafi]

No. If England lose both, and Sri Lanka lose both, and Bangladesh lose to India, then Pak vs Ban game becomes quarterfinal.

BD has far better RR. We need to win by at least 80+ runs which is impossible with this team.

 

[Aaaaa]

I said it. Afghanistan has great bowlers. People told me they were ordinary.

 

[FanofCricket]

shadab looks comfortable

 

[BleedGreen]

57 from 44

 

[Kianig89]

Wow we have just two batsman in this line up Babr Azam and half of Imam ul Haq and half of Haris Sohail

 

[fuadomar]

Wahab will win it for you, he can hit big.

 

[big_gamer007]

You are expecting too much from these too.

I think the over from Pacers will be crucial. Pakistan need to hit hard against them.

How much can they chase realistically in last 5 overs?

 

[BleedGreen]

55 from 43. Get to 40 from 30

 

[Sin Nombre]

Ridiculous that win predictor says Pakistan only 29% chance of winning and Afghanistan 71%, at this point. I think Pakistan has the edge even at this position.

Agree with that, especially with ICC support

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Wahab has hairline fracture too much expectations from him.

 

[Markhor]

Hopefully PCB will realise this and send these zombies back home and we can think of future.

The main zombie is the captain. Had he attacked the new AFG batsmen at the crease and we would've bowled AFG out for less than 200.
