Pakistan vs Afghanistan | World Cup warm-up | Bristol | May 24, 2019 | Pakistan innings

its almost funny that you are thinking that English pitches in summer wont help the spinners when almost every team is taking 2-3 quality spinners in their side? are they stupid or you are over confident & on top of that its a batting track where fast bowlers are going for 80 runs almost every single game. Spinners are the key this worldcup. dnt worry you will realize this mid tournament. maybe even in a couple of days after the practice game. Rashid Khan took wickets in BBL too & in IPL on batting friendly pitches he takes wickets of quality players. Confidence in your team is good but putting down a player whos really shining is almost absurd lol
Rashid khan this, rashid khan that. Rashid khan has taken wickets in ipl and bbl on flat tracks blah blah blah....
This is an odi tornament and not some joke t20 tourney mate. Let me explain the difference to you , as you obviously dont know. In t20 batters are attacking every delivery and this helps bowlers to take wickets. In odis, as i told you before, batsman can be more selective, take singles from the good balls and punish the bad balls. Yes spinners will be important against SENA teams, cos if it only slightly spins there in trouble. Wont spin enough to trouble asian teams. What you need are 90mph bowling bouncers at batsman heads and 90 mph yorkers at batsman toes. It only medium fast bowlers(80 - 87mph) who are gonna get whacked around the ground. Have you got any 90mph bowlers? Oh i forgot you dont need any fast bowlers because you have rashid khan(lol)!
 
Rashid Khan Mujeeb v Imad Shadab - pak would take rashid Mujeeb in there team in a heartbeat...

2 against 1 typical!
Imad wasim + shadab khan vs rashid + mujeeb.
I keep our pak pair thank you very much.
You guys going crazy over a couple of
T20 bowlers. We have left better bowlers back home - umer khan, M.asghar, usama mir, zafar gohar etc. We dont require any afghan players in our team. Unlike you guys who require pak players in your team( M shazad)!
 
we pretty much won Series against newzeland we gave 280 on uae pitch and had a wicket in 1st over.
We gave Tough Fight To South africa in Odi Series.
And please dont talk about Australia We didn't even Take a proper spinner and Gavw debut to fast bowlers.
We Gave Competition to England Even We end up losing.
Stats Dont tell If You Are performing or not.
Reaching Semi's isn't gonna be Easy.But If Anyone has any sort of Delusion That Pakistan team with this batting lineup Will Be taken down by minnows
Then Wait And See .
 
For those that watch cricket will know that Rashid Khan is overrated, he has only performed in T20 league cricket and against below top 6 teams in ODI. His stats and hype are overrated. Chahal, Kuldeep, Shadab and Tahir are far ahead in ODI's, don't take my word for it just wait and watch.
 
This will be sooo BUMP worthy ...
I will be sure to read it after aftari with a cup of coffee..maybe some cake as well.
Popcorn not my thing.
 
Why Pakistan could not get a warm up game against better teams ? We ended up playing Afghanistan and Bangladesh, really ?

Well to be fair we had 5 match warm up against the top contender England and lost 4 out 4 played matches.

It would be good to win the easy warm ups to get a bit of confidence going.

opposition team must be saying the same. Playing vs a team that has lost about 10 of their last odi matches ...
 
As most people know this match will be telcasted, but what about Pakistan v Bangladesh, will that also be shown on TV? I have read people say Star Sports will broadcast it, but not sure about that.

Why should we exclude Asif Ali and Wahab Riaz?

It's better to try all unconfirmed players now, so that we can have an actual fixed XI for WI game.

Asif is in the USA, and Wahab needs some practice to get match fit.

He can play 2nd warm up.

Also, it's not like Wahab is a starter. The pacers will be Amir, Shaheen and Hassan. So, Wahab has a lot of time to get some practice.
 
Yes 100 % sure all matches are televised live..there will be two warm up matches live every day...Start to show all . In Pak one is being shown on PTV SPORTS other will be on PTV NATIONAL
 
[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] can you confirm tomorrow match will be televised

Star Sports will be IMG_20190523_212755.jpg telecasting all warm ip matches including Pakistan ones.
 
For those who want to know whether pak warmups will be telecasted or not
Pak warmups will be telecasted on ten sports. It is confirm
 
I donno where to post this question. But seems like the most active thread so here goes : Who do I have to contact to get that wallpaper? Looks freaking amazing!
 
Would love that Arrogant Rashid Khan to be smashed into oblivion.Wannabe Kohli.Hate him

He’s not arrogant man he gives those send offs to every player he plays against and he just hates getting smacked lol poor guy from a minnow team let him enjoy his short period fame
 
Will be interesting. I am glad in a way that the gap between Pak and Afghan is getting lesser and lesser.

Makes interesting viewing.

Lol at short period fame :)))

He has been causing havoc for about 5 years now. Averaging something silly like 15.

Comfortably better than all your bowlers.

15 against minnows.
The guy's played only 2 matches against the top 6 teams. He's played 23 against IRE and 18 against zim.
"better than your bowlers" ROFL

Pakistan fans are the ones who will take Imad Wasim (who?) and Shadab Khan (who?) over Rashad khan

Please dont share this view with neutral fans. They will laugh at you

Don't know why the "who?" was needed. You can't even spell Rashid properly.
 
I just realized this is a thread for practice match. Can't believe the intensity and th bashing already lol

Point to note is that he was able to spell the who's correctly, but couldn't spell Rashid correctly even though he seems to be a big fan of him.
Cricket is a team game, it doesn't matter what an individual do in a game, if the team end up loosing, then individual performances counts for nothing.
 
My team for this game:

1. Fakhar Zaman
2. Imam ul Haq
3. Babar Azam
4. Haris Sohail
5. Sarfaraz
6. Hafeez
7. Imad Wasim
8. Shadab Khan
9. Wahab Riaz
10. Amir
11. Shaheen Afridi

I would rest Hassan Ali and Hasnain for this game.
 
Rashid Khan is still a quality player but i feel teams are working him out and are being more cautious against him. Then they can just attack the other bowlers.
 
A professional job against the Afghans is needed. No over confidence its about getting the team ready for the bigger challenges ahead.Thos eplayers that have just flown in need to play Amir wahab and Shadab. I see three players vying for one place Hafeez, Malik and Asif Ali. The other big decision who will open in the bowling, it will be Amir and one other. If Wahab gets the new ball will he have enough control and penetration. Wahab as to be at the top of his game or he suffer being dropped even before his international is reborn. Sarfraz to take more responsibilty and keep batting at five.
 
Well Afghans pushed Pakistan in Dubai and it will be interesting to see if they can do it in England as well. They are a good LO side.

I am still not convinced Pak v BD will be telecasted, but I would love it if it is.
