Pakistan's ODI Golden Age 2017

[CricFan2012]

It has begun.

Intiated by Pakistan's champions trophy victory.

Just looking at the players trying to be more fit is an indication. It shows the hunger to keep on doing better and win more silverware.

Youngsters like Hasan Ali, Shadab are a breath of fresh air and showing that the PCB has moved on from oldies like Misbah, kamran, younis for good.

We have the best bowling line up in the world with Hasan, Amir, Raees, Shadab.

We have dependable batters in Babar, Malik, sarfraz.

The only thing we are lacking is big hitters, Zaman is the flashy opener but is yet to show long term consistency yet as he's only played 4 games.

Expect us to win at least 1 of the next 2 world cups inshala !1!!1

Agreed
This is the best team we had since 1999
Afrer 10 dark years of cricket from 2007 to 2017 we finally are taking off now

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Golden age has truly begun and will last for 8 years. We need to win a world cup.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Yeah,great year for Pak cricket after dark 8 years.Good going. And also some real hope of return of cricket in Pak.

 

[htariq25]

We actually have a strong chance to win the next world cup for the first time. Need power hitters tho.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Let's first win an ODI series against England, Australia, SA, or NZ.

 

[Dingolfy]

You need some good middle order batsmen who can hit long and also can run hard.Because most of the ODI pitches are pattas now and with the new rules, 300 plus scores are the norm.Your current batsmen struggle to chase those scores.

 

[hafizexpress]

True. We only have won a champions trophy. Although that too is a big feat we can't call this a golden age until we win a few ODi series.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

2019 will be diamond age.

Bhai what number 1?other than T20I and Test matches for 2 months LOL
Check your stats Pakistan had not won a single ODI sweies from 2008 to 2011 YES FOR THREE YEARS NOT A SINGLE ODI SERIES VICTORY
2009 we may have won the WT20 but that does not compensate for the 2009 attack that plagued our cricket and made us lose WC hosting rights

2007 to 2010 we could not win a single test series

Even in the Misbah era we got thrashed by SA and AUS
Were humiliated in the CT 2013

Why are you pointing only negative points.pakistan reached atleasr every icc semifinal bw 2007- 2012.
won asia cup and reached another asia cup final.
acheiving no. 1 test ranking means from 2014 to 2016 we did not lose any test series.
highlight those also.
it was not all dark, but new generation looks far stonger in LOI .

 

[CricFan2012]

Hey in the misbah era we won IN sa india

Those don't count because of chuckers like ajmal and hafeez ruining our legacy in those series.

In reality we wouldve been doing much worse in that period, but some decided that it would be better to bend rules for the sake of winning, shameful stuff

Never too early to begin the hype for 2019 WC. Good luck!

 

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Hey in the misbah era we won IN sa india

Yes a 3 match rubber series after getting thrashed so many times by both of them
2 times by SA in 2013
Uncountable times by India in WCs and all Asia cup matches except the one in 2014

I am not...I am just pointing out the fact that therw wrre so mamy negatives in that era and I am just glad that we have finally come out of the horrible Ijaz Butt phase we were in a few years ago
New captain every series LOL losing all imp matches
Asia Cup 2008 at home where we couldn't make the final
Bro about the SF yes we may have reached SF but how many KOs have we won from there onwards?
Truth is that pur previous captains(except Younis who was also SACKED btw) never had that leadership skill in them to take Pak all the way like Safi does Masha Allah

lol then how can we say that this our golden era.. we have to wait till 2027.. this is just some little hype.. same like after 09 t20 cup.. so wait not enough sample to call anything dark years..

I have more doubts on younger generation getting plagued with corruption then the oldies.. so wait and watch...

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Not just ODIs this will be our golden age in all formats. Those who are saying our test team is inexperience will soon be singing praises of our new middle order (Haris, Babar and Usman). Just keep Shehzad away from the team.

 

[shaz619]

The OP isn't Pakistani, he's taking mick and still hasn't come out of the coma which Pak gave India in the 2017 CT

 

[Saj]

A couple of big-hitting batsmen and it will be the golden age.

Pace bowlers are very good, skipper is doing a good job, spinners are excellent.

CT>>>>>>WT20
Sri lanka and Windies also won WT20 during this period
Does that make this a golden age for them?

Did they know they were doing it? No
Were they purposely doing it? No
Did they get reported on it? No

So you can't blame them for doing it. Disrespectful to say they were bending the rules for the sake of winning.

 

[Asif321]

cant believe afridi and misbah kept saying there is no talent in pakistan .

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Along with Iqbal Qasim.

yes
yes
yes in the end. ICC was too incompetent to charge them.

 

[coy0607]

cant believe afridi and misbah kept saying there is no talent in pakistan .

lot of people were saying this, including the chief selectors, chairman and many others.
all for an agenda to keep the same players in the team

its amazing how not being corrupt can help the organizations

not surprised by others . but how misbah and afridi said this is quite disturbing . what did they want to potray?
their own shortcomings or what

 

[hafizexpress]

yes

If the umpires never reported them in all those years it is definetely their fault and not Ajmal and Hafeez's. As for if they knew they were doing it.. you can make a case for Ajmal as his arm bent way too much. But Hafeez's wasn't all that bad. Unfair to also consider him like you consider Ajmal.
