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

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

All mathematicians fired from job.. Effect immediately.

 

[AdamM97]

Our openers have been so disappointing for most of this tournament.

Also, it’s so shocking to see Pakistan not take that many singles in the powerplay.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

This Shaifuddun dude is one for the future. Can be Bangla Mathews

 

[Hawkeye]

cowards Atleast don't make it this obvious. If there ever was proof of lack of intent and selfishness here it is.

Trying to win is not selfishness. Not going for 500 is also not selfish. It's being realistic.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan batting on a tough batting track. Will look to get 240

 

[Shafi]

Micky needs to go along with team management, captain and selectors

 

[cricketfan11]

The only way Fakhar could have worked is by pinch hitting from the first ball.
His talent lies in that and that is his natural game.
He is not the type of guy who will settle down , assess the ball on merit and build his innings.
Pakistan just wasted his potential.

 

[AdamM97]

Fakhar, Hasan Ali and Shadab. Send these three back to domestic cricket and ask them to improve their performances.

 

[BlueBeamer]

Fakhar is still feeding off his CT innings which itself was a gift from Bumrah.

 

[ZaudStorm]

Lol wait for Tamim's 13 (60)

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Fakhar is finished. Complete numpty. Drop him

 

[indianpanacea]

Rubbish

 

[On_the_up]

The difference in class immediately apparent since Babar came into bat.

 

[BuffaloSoldier]

Pakistan batting on a tough batting track. Will look to get 240

Is this a batting track or bowling track????? Is this the same kind England have been getting 100-0 in 10 overs on?

 

[Gullycricket]

Athar doesnt sound happy.Never is happy

 

[Rellu_Katta]

honestly if i was a selector, i would ensure that Fakhar zaman never ever plays for pakistn again.. ever ... the most pathatic **** and selfish innings i have ever seen in my life

 

[B_Positive]

ICC conspiring again. Giving green pitch. )

 

[AdamM97]

The difference in class immediately apparent since Babar came into bat.

Was about to say the same thing. Babar looks miles ahead compared to Fakhar and Imam.

Compare this to India where Kohli may be the superstar but Rohit isn’t far behind.

 

[shah_1]

Pakistan should just try to win

 

[szundercover]

I hope babar scores big today and his position for captaincy will be boosted post world cup.

 

[Britstani]

Oh please, a win in a dead rubber means nothing. No other team would of had this approach, if they lose and lose badly but tried to give the impossible a go no one would of been upset. But this is literally a losers mentality. Can you imagine Australia or India playing this slow in this situation

 

[Ram Shekhar]

honestly if i was a selector, i would ensure that Fakhar zaman never ever plays for pakistn again.. ever ... the most pathatic **** and selfish innings i have ever seen in my life

He was the guy who gave you the greatest memory after 1992.

 

[PCTPost2019]

Is this a batting track or bowling track????? Is this the same kind England have been getting 100-0 in 10 overs on?

This isn't the same.
That was a pure batting track. This isn't

 

[the Great Khan]

have they not made 200 yet? why? we need 700...Imam needs to hit a triple hundred..
lets get Malik back..he is a master at hitting triples!!

 

[dildilpak]

The lack of intent so far is baffling.

 

[todfod 11]

instead of hiring batting coach PCB should hire a psychologist..

 

[dani rana]

Finally the champion trophy spin will end but pAkistan team will never change get ready for umar akmal kami bhai and selfi queen

 

[Leeon1994]

Send all the head and shoulder ad guys back to domestic barring Babar.

 

[Fazzy321]

The pitch has been prepared so Pakistan doesn’t score 500

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Should have sent in Wahab Riaz instead of Babar, I am not seeing intent

 

[mgtow]

Trying to win is not selfishness. Not going for 500 is also not selfish. It's being realistic.

They are not playing for the wins. They are playing for their keeps. Imran Khan would have fired them if he was the captain as he did that to Ramiz Raja on WC 92.

 

[Zeshan547]

So guys just chill down and treat it as normal game, but even by that standard it's way below par start. we needed Atleast 50,in 1st 10 and 300 total to even stand a chance, a loss here would just add insult to the injury

 

[Ram Shekhar]

ICC conspiring again. Giving green pitch. )

Expect fresh batting beauties when England plays at Edgbaston..

 

[ARK Rafay]

35 of 10 overs
150 of the next 30 overs
80 of the last 10 overs

275 in 50 overs.

 

[abughio]

Such defensive mentality and are trying to score 500

 

[Leeon1994]

Why is the pitch not green whenever England plays

 

[AdamM97]

The lack of intent so far is baffling.

Wasn’t lack of intent, Fakhar just struggled a lot. Bangladesh bowlers weren’t looking threathening at all.

 

[pillionrider]

The pitch has been prepared so Pakistan doesn’t score 500

England at their best would score 400 here

 

[indianpanacea]

Players are playing for their positions and not for team...it is better to loose than not qualifying for semi finals....
Mean players and worst team management....National pride is nothing for them...what difference will it make whether u be 5the or 10 th in the competition...
SHAME ON YOU

 

[fuadomar]

The pitch seems to be very slow, we have to bat second, I am already nervous :-(

 

[mgtow]

have they not made 200 yet? why? we need 700...Imam needs to hit a triple hundred..
lets get Malik back..he is a master at hitting triples!!

Or play the same team and get all out in 105 against WI? That is nice setup.

I would take Malik right now if he wanted to leave on positive note meaning intended to go for all.

 

[uberkoen]

Fakhar Zaman continues his brilliant form

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Fizz vs Babar... great battle

 

[pillionrider]

Atherton unimpressed with Pak approach

 

[ARK Rafay]

Micheal A. Is absolutely right

They're playing in a WC and they have 0.01% chance of qualifying. And they won't take that.

MY MIND IS BLOWN!

so? the reason was simple ... bcz he needed his place.. now the shitter playing for his place.... the sick mentality

 

[AdamM97]

Fizz vs Babar... great battle

Haven’t been impressed with Mustafizur in this WC.

 

[B_Positive]

Babar is really good

 

[Invincible Gujjar]

Babar is so classy.shaba mundya

 

[cricketfan11]

All the commentators and fans are confused why Pakistan is not trying to give it a go. They do not understand Imam's approach here.

 

[Ram Shekhar]

This is a typical 1990's pitch I assume.. something for everyone..

 

[Gullycricket]

Wah...What a shot Bobby

Someone is trying to make his way back in to the team eh?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Why? Loser mentality.

They're there to win. They will win. It's foolish to get all out at 100 chasing 500.

400 - 500 is unrealistic.

die trying to go forward in the tournament , winning a dead rubber doesnt mean jack.

 

[Zeshan547]

Plz no more mention of qualification, and 400 or 500 dear members, just take it as normal game, if they don't give a damn y should we fans do.

 

[Green Patriot]

38/1 after 10.

 

[Etherealistic]

Masrafe will get a perfect send-off today. Bangla tigers on the prowl.

 

[Shafi]

The pitch has been prepared so Pakistan doesn’t score 500 &#55357;&#56878;&#55357;&#56866;

Yeah right!!!!! Our team is rubbish. Give them flat track and Sakib, Soumo, Liton and Mahmudullah will murder our bowlers

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Pakistan will be out of the world cup because of lack of intent , be it india , NZ or pak themselves

 

[JellyBro]

We are going to win this guys and the WC....because of nineteen ninety two similarities!
Where all the statisticians at

 

[AdamM97]

Babar and Haris are on another level.

Love this positive approach from Babar!

 

[Gullycricket]

Only babar plays for team.

 

[Boi]

They’re just having a net out there.

 

[cricketfan11]

Bangladesh's bowling has been mediocre.
Nothing special.
It is just the same problem that we have seen in a lot of matches- Fakhar doesn't play natural game, Imam can't place ball in gaps and Pakistan fail to take initiative at the start.

 

[ARK Rafay]

I hope they lose today.

 

[Leeon1994]

Even Pakistan is playing suspiciously to get Pak out of WC just like NZ and IND

Fixer.Dont want these type of people.In 2023 we will be criticizing him

 

[Fazzy321]

Bruh even they would struggle
The pitch looks like they prepared it for test match

 

[babajee]

Babar double century coming up boys.

 

[Stark]

After 10 overs,

27/0

Vs

38/1

Controversies/furore at the same level?

 

[Titan24]

Openers have been the biggest disappointment of this WC for Pak especially considering they were atleast statistically more consistent than ones we had in last 2-3 WCs.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Lmao Athar Ali just Shut Up.

 

[B_Positive]

Mashrafe is worse than a club level bowler

 

[Ahmed216]

The strength of the team is determined by its bench strength as much as by its playing 11.

We cant find solid names to replace a hack Fakhar , an opener from 70's Imam and experienced losers like hafeez and malik.
No candidate to replace Sarfraz as captain.

Tells us we have a long way to go.

 

[emranabbas]

Unfortunately have to switch the TV off can't watch this torture

 

[pillionrider]

Now Athar being a troll

 

[B_Positive]

Fixer.Dont want these type of people.In 2023 we will be criticizing him

What about amir?

 

[Gullycricket]

Babar is smart.Not playing dots

 

[Swashbuckler]

Why are the batsmen doing pointless tuk tuk? This is crazy.
