Pakistan vs India | Asia Cup: Super Four | Dubai | Sep 23, 2018 | India Innings

Either India's bowling is underrated or Pakistan batting is overrated. Or both?
 
LOL DJ's jeetega bhai jeetega call answered by INDIA JEETEGA :)))

Indian fans have taken over this place. :yk
 
Its all about celebrating series wins against Zimb & scraping wins against Afgh these days.

Pakistan has been the worst team in the tournament thus far, if you analyze their game closely. Zero game awareness. Blunders everywhere. This is the worst bit of cricket since 2013 CT I have seen Pakistan play.
 
Those who are saying Pakistan should have batted second are totally clueless. Pakistan is the world’s worst chasing side.

You know what they say, being favorites is never a good thing for us.
 
Its not about eyes. Its about anticipation. He never anticipated and hence surprised and panicked
 
Congrats to India well deserved win Sarfraz ur an idiot u won the toss and chose to bat first again wow good stuff
 
Not even ten overs and four bowlers have been used already. Sarfi getting desperate methinks.
 
Then why is he playing. This should be taken seriously

I seriously think he might have some issues with eye sight. Under lights the glasses might not allow him to view the ball properly. The flood light might be bursting through his glasses. Also when he dives sideways to stop the ball,he wont be able to view the ball properly. Must be taken seriously.
 
Cant blame the umpire? Wow. You must be an umpire yourself to defend your fellow umpire.

Umpire made a mistake just before that, and Sharma reviewed and DRS said Imam was out.

So the DRS adds an additional element of skill to the game. If you have the skill, you will make the right reviews. Umpire mistakes affect both teams. The way the system is now doesn't need changing.

It’s about doing the basics right. I believe, just like us fans, they started believing in their own hype and thought they were better than they already are. Stopped working hard and the result is here for all of us to see. Its a slap on the faces of hard working players of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and even Hong Kong if an underperforming team reaches the final in their place. Terrible.
 
Nice, Dhawan waiting for the ball to arrive at the bat against the seamers.
 
Rohit should focus properly. His batting is a bit loose. And dont know why Indian batsman are not trying for more singles. And as the ball is not doing much, they have to score through measured risk shots. Post 20-25 overs, it will not be easy for a new batsman.
 
Those who are saying Pakistan should have batted second are totally clueless. Pakistan is the world’s worst chasing side.

That is not how it works. This is ratta mar thinking that Pakistani's have adopted. "Pakistan is worst chasing side so always bat first", yeah don't look at the pitch or think how it has been for other teams that have batted first.
 
They looked mentally shot even when they played Afghanistan. Had they played like this against Zim D a few months back, they would have lost there too. This is associate level game awareness being shown. All the good work has been undone by these last few games tbh.

That was partly a result of the India drubbing in the previous game damaging confidence.

Thing is India's players are used to regular intense cricket home and away against top sides, and in the IPL where youngsters are playing in front of packed houses every night. They're regularly exposed to pressure situations and that's why their game awareness and cricketing judgement is on another level, despite having flaws especially in their middle-order.

Our players meanwhile since the CT have played against the likes of Sri Lanka, West Indies C, Zimbabwe D in games that have all the intensity of a net session. The moment some pressure is applied we panic and crumble, as we saw in NZ where we were outclassed, and as we're seeing twice against India in this tournament.

Got to learn from this.
 
The game's over. Need to come up with a better game plan, if they want to beat India in the final.
 
Amir bowls full on the leg stump gets hit for four.... 2 balls later, bowls the exact same delivery and gets hit for four again. What an idiot.
 
This is getting embarrassing to watch. Need to keep reminding myself what happened after I had a similar feeling when Fakhar got out and started walking back off that no-ball.

Enjoy this when you can, you never know any team can have that one big day

I see us getting a beating in the coming year. New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and England will manhandle us and set some new records. The basics are totally wrong. Batsmen are not playing with a clear mind, bowlers are not bowling to the fields and fielders are mucking up even when its not humanly possible to. Bangladesh will fancy thrashing us come 26th to send an emphatic message to India for the final.
