Poor batting results in a loss in the finals.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

srilankan players have pot bellies, but their fielding is very good...

 

[ask_analyse_act]

very poor display from pak for the finals... nvm even wasim did that with a better team in 99 WC

Have mercy on your wrists... hojata hai, haar jeet is part of the game.

Is that owais shah who is doing the presentation....

 

[ask_analyse_act]

he forgot announce and give the award for man of the tournament...

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Gohar is an excellent bowler though.

Right up there with Asghar.

Asghar is not comparable to Gohar. Different levels.

 

[Specialisttailender]

Didn't SL A just white wash England Lions and emerging South Africa like couple of months ago ? The problem with Sri lanka is not their talent but their proper development. What happened to Ajantha Mendis and Thirimani ? Anybody remember Maharoof ? He had no problem smashing Warne, Murali, Lee, Steyn in IPL and bowled pretty well too. Sri Lankan players initially look good but then they vaporize.

 

[Pete Rose]

Rubbish batting

Asghar is not comparable to Gohar. Different levels.

No use comparing a 1.5 liter Pepsi bottle with another 1.5 liter Pepsi bottle. The real fun lies in comparing 1.5 liter Pepsi bottle with a 1.5 liter Coca Cola bottle. Similar enough to be weighed on the same scale, yet different enough to be compared.

Two slow left arm slow bowlers have every right to be compared and contrasted, unless you want to compare Asghar with Imran Farhat.

Disappointing.

New Pakistani habit in these "other" tournaments: Beast your way through to the final, only to mess up in the final.

It was expected once they decided to bat on a wet wicket in CTG. Then it was a D/N match with delayed start, which means PAK bowled almost entire innings under dew.

This is quite surprising & stupid decision, considering 2 days back SRL made a mockery of 1st SF, chasing. Knowing Zahoor Ahmed, sometimes is a 100 swing between batting first & 2nd. Bowling first, PAK probably would have won the same match comfortably. This fear of chasing has to be taken out of the equation - Sarfu also blew one T20 after batting first.

Yeah was surprised to see Pakistan choose to bat first.

Terrible.

What do you mean by Beast their way to final.

They only won against associates. Nepal and HongKong. Tie with BD and won semi against an associate Afghanistan A team. Lost final against Sri Lanka. Not really impressive if you ask me.

He meant making it into the finals comfortably but then mucking it up.

I got the point. I still think you cannot term it beasting when it's expected of those players to win comfortably against the likes of HK, Nepal and Afg A. They did not really impress against the two test teams they played.

I'm also referring to the Blind World Cup.

Which is why I said typical Pakistan.
