Pakistan v Bangladesh | Match 43, World Cup | 5th July, 2019 | Lords's | Pakistan innings

[Sir-fraz]

Just no dedication to being a professional athlete.
Must be an ego thing

 

[IAJ]

Atleast he is scoring runs. Hacks like others will score 32(18) or get out for 6(2)

My post wasn’t meant in a negative way.

Afridi retired 4 years ago from ODI’s.

 

[amirm]

If pak go 8-9 per over from now with a bit of tuk tuk till the 50th then they’ll reach 340ish

 

[QalandarFan]

Finally runs coming!

 

[Titan24]

I always am impressed by players who know who they are and who they want to be rather than living in delusions of being stars. Babar and Imam are examples of such two young cricketers.

I hope when Babar becomes captain he will inspire whole team towards work ethics and professionalism rather than celebrating delusional stardom.

 

[RainMan_]

babar is extremely overrated. looks quite ordinary to me. He's already been dropped twice.

 

[QalandarFan]

Imam's average is almost 55. Next in line for captaincy?

He’s def a candidate.

Nah we need more swag in this team, like we had in the 90s and early 2000s.

All a bit meek and boring for my liking.

Babar becoming PCT Captain will be one step towards our team becoming GOAT.

 

[Snatch]

So disappointed in Bangladesh, they've put their heads down.

Oh with time Imam will do good in Tests

 

[BleedGreen]

Yaarr come on

 

[sweep_shot]

BD is fielding like village idiots. What the hell are you doing, BD?

 

[Titan24]

One match shouldnt define a player. Definitely not one of his best days but if you have seen him play before (Recently agianst NZ) then you will understand why people rate him.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mushfiqur the clown dropped two catches. Stupid midget.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Good to see we are trying hard to get 450-500 here

 

[Titan24]

All a bit meek and boring for my liking.

What people forget is that 90s team wasnt only swag. The hard work of guys like Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib, Inzi, Yousuf etc was extraordinary.

 

[BleedGreen]

Need 20 an over from here

 

[sweep_shot]

BD dropped Rohit the other day. Now they drop Babar. I can't freaking believe it.

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

May be pitch is really hard to bat ........... it is not like eng will give us a favourable pitch.

 

[fuadomar]

Dont lose hope u guys can make it straight twenty five like we did to you from 99 to 2015

That might not happen, Sir, today might be the day.

 

[Pakhs]

Its being played like a dead rubber

 

[Ahmed216]

U are already losing ur mind. Keep faith in the boys rainman

 

[Titan24]

The chance was maybe less than 1%, I think they have opted for better odds to play a decent game of cricket.

 

[shah_1]

How does Bangaldesh deserve to be in semi final?

They have dropped Willamson(run out chance), Rohit and now Babar. All of them have made Bangladesh pay. Massive improvement needed

 

[topspin]

What people forget is that 90s team wasnt only swag. The hard work of guys like Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib, Inzi, Yousuf etc was extraordinary.

I agree, but unfortunately our players don't have this mentality in training and off the field.

 

[Roadie]

tHEY ARE on 148/1- 29.1 overs.
10-12 an over from here on would make it around 389. Let's keep the faith guys

 

[Leeon1994]

Only 250 from 20 overs needed now, 12.5 runs an over from now isn't impossible.

 

[jnaveen1980]

May be pitch is really hard to bat ........... it is not like eng will give us a favourable pitch.

Imam is going at 56 in 57. must be a batting paradise lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

You need 3 Afridis 3 Razzaqs

 

[Titan24]

While BD is still very much in the game but BD fans should realize that irrespective of the result of todays match Bd has played some impressive cricket in this WC.

 

[PCTPost2019]

babar is extremely overrated. looks quite ordinary to me. He's already been dropped twice.

Your fizz is getting a phainti from babar.

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Imam is going at 56 in 57. must be a batting paradise lol

No imam is playing well .even on difficult Tracks babar plays At 90+ So the pitch must be slow

 

[sweep_shot]

Brainless captaincy by grandpa Mashrafe. Brainless keeping by Mushfiq the clown.

 

[Madplayer]

babar is extremely overrated. looks quite ordinary to me. He's already been dropped twice.

Still Lightyears of ahead of where Liton das could ever reach.

 

[Leeon1994]

You need 3 Afridis 3 Razzaqs

1 Dhoni + 1 Jadhav > 3 Afridis + 3 Razzaqs

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is quiet ironical. Pakistan had guys who could produce those massive 24 run over before T20 era. But post T20 there are not many like that. I don't see any current Pak batsman is capable of doing that.

 

[shah_1]

Quality shot

 

[shah_1]

Another four

 

[Fazzy321]

Imam showing more intent than Babar

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

come on he is into 25 over ........ he is not a bad bat.

 

[Green Patriot]

What a shot that was.

 

[jnaveen1980]

March is on? lol Extrapolate this over. 19 x 20 = 380

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Still Lightyears of ahead of where Liton das could ever reach.

Right on the money

 

[Madplayer]

Bobby demolishing the fizz. Fizz fizzling out

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

get Hafeez in ........... he will nail this.

 

[sweep_shot]

Mustafiz is probably demoralized. These idiots can't catch.

 

[Titan24]

Fizz bowling bit shot on this wicket

 

[Green Patriot]

15 runs from the over

 

[Fazzy321]

Smash these part time spinners as well please

 

[Hasan123]

Babar Azam confidence has been taken to another level since that knock versus NZ. Could be a career changing knock.

 

[babajee]

Babar's maiden double century incoming!

 

[Sunny_majoka]

They are playing well.. it's not realistically possible to win by 300+ margin against good team..just try to win the game

 

[sweep_shot]

Dropping Babar 2-3 times is a massive crime.

 

[Ahmed216]

Expect bobby to deal in singles only now,hes nearing a hundred. I hope it doesnt happen

 

[DRsohail]

Athar Alibkhan making good points while Ramiz is clueless here.

 

[Snatch]

Bangladesh falling apart here. Surely they can't drop anymore catches can they?

 

[jnaveen1980]

334 runs in 19 overs? possible?

 

[Ahmed216]

Dropping Babar 2-3 times is bigger crime than holocaust.

Chill bro

 

[uberkoen]

Its being played like a dead rubber

Maybe because it is one?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh falling apart here. Surely they can't drop anymore catches can they?

Part of their skill set lol

 

[JellyBro]

So people expect Pakistan to score 500 or at least make an attempt at it. That would imply that the pitch is an absolute better otherwise such a score would be impossible. At the same time they want Pakistan to bowl out bang for under 100 runs on the same track ?
I'll have what you guys are having

 

[Titan24]

Babar Azam confidence has been taken to another level since that knock versus NZ. Could be a career changing knock.

I exactly said the same thing and created a thread (Now merged) that Innings against NZ can be career defining for Babar.

I always believe a team should find a player with talent and temperament and then keep on backing him.

 

[Mujtaba2900]

Dropping Babar 2-3 times is bigger crime than holocaust.

Technically its 2 times but only 1 Chance should be counted bcz 2nd one was near to impossible

 

[tauseef_mahmood]

come on guys ........ turn on the heat now. last 30 overs. play like t20 literally

 

[sweep_shot]

Babar is the best Pakistani batsman I have seen since Mohammed Yousuf.

 

[topspin]

Babar's maiden double century incoming!

The only thing incoming for you is a DVD of Faheem's single digit scores in the last 6-8 months.

 

[PCTPost2019]

Some people on Twitter. My God.
They're calling babar selfish )
Did they actually think we will make 500 and win by 300?
Delusional

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Babar showing his class

 

[Hasan123]

Backing Babar was a easy decision. He should have been in the test team earlier and should have always been batting in the top 3 in LO. Can remember us batting him at 6 in some early games lol.

 

[ak619]

New zealand and south Africa are on the decline ,Ross taylor will retire soon the kiwis openers are probablly the worst in this world cup ,Afghanistan has better openers than new zealand the less said about south africa the better soon faf ,dale steyn,tahir and hashim amla will retire and the downfall of south Africa cricket will begin which is sad.

We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Let us see what happens. But right now SA and NZ are better teams than PAK.

 

[Fazzy321]

Such a class from Babar

 

[Madplayer]

Babar out on 96

 

[Green Patriot]

Some people on Twitter. My God.

Delusional

There has already been a thread made here as well blaming Babar of all the people to be in the team because of connections.
Some 'fans' have no shame.

 

[QalandarFan]

Let’s freaking go Bobby!! As i say that out

 

[JibranAnsari]

gone

 

[Titan24]

Have you seen how SA and NZ played in this WC?

 

[Green Patriot]

Review might be lost here.

 

[Pakhs]

babar look out to me
