Predict positives for Pakistan in the Champions Trophy

[BunnyRabbit]

What do you think will be the positives for pakistan in this CT.
In 2013 edition, the positives were,
1. Misbah is the only consistent batsman for us
2. Nasir has a bright future
3. Junaid, Irfan and Ajmal are the reasonable performers.
4. We need Afridi back for lower order hitting.

In 2017, my predictions are
1. Shoaib Malik is the only consistent batsman for us
2. Babar has a bright future.
3. Amir and Hassan are the reasonable performers.
4. We need someone for lower order hitting

Hasan Ali.

- Boys get to play cricket and get paid for it ???
- Sunday roza spend with bit of help and slight entertainment
- Will have some laugh at twitter.
- Bangladesh got schooled in a warmup match out of no where.
- Azhar Ali/Shahzad/Hafeez may get removed from squad for 1 odd series.

Might spell the end of Wahab Riazs international career

That ain't happening anytime sooner. Pretty sure he will be in the starting eleven for 2019 Wc as well. We want aggression.

I feel like Shehzad is the least of Pakistan's problems at the moment. Wahab, Azhar and poor tactics are the headache right now.

Them being out of 1 series isn't a positive either though cause they will be back again.

Hopeful for some sanity from higher officials. Sarfraz is just the annoying version of Azhar Ali the captain. Too stiff and predictable.

Rain?

 

[Mamoon]

We qualified ahead of West Indies.

Rain?

Not for this match specifically, the whole CT

Pakistan have a few worries at the moment
Third seamer:Wahab isn't ideal hardly takes any wickets doesn't complete his overs and goes atleast over 6 runs every time
Opener:The big problem that Pakistan have is having a decent opener Azhar and Shehzad are 1990s players SR of 75 and 72 we needed sharjeel but he turned out as a fixer.
Tactics: Pakistan always don't take the crunch moments of the game by the neck and be ruthless after that all they can do is wait for the opposition to crumble or succeed.
Players that can become flexible: we have none except for maybe Malik,Imad we need players being flexible so if we are 30/3 they can adapt or if we are 180/3 going into the last 15.
Game awareness:run out chances crucial moments in matches where if you are aware you are more likely to pull a plan off if you are in the circle your job is to stop singles and if you can't do that you should be aware that a run out can happen.
