The tail is just too long with 'hit or miss' Afridi coming in at 6!
 
Well I guess again it proves that Misbah has no clue how to chase, I knew it from the moment Sri Lanka posted 280 they have won because we don't like to conduct a chase properly.

Its a must to send Younis Khan and Misbah ahead of Umar Akmal and Afridi.

It just goes to show that if our bowlers have an off day then you can always count Pakistan out of winning when the total is above 240!!!
 

People think I'm being very negative but what people don't understand is the era of someone like Dravid being a great ODI player is long gone..

You need dynamic players who can be aggressive when needed and also play according to the situation when required.. a good example is someone like Kohli, Ghambir, Dhoni, etc.. Pakistan don't have those players.. we've got Younis, Misbah and Azhar in this game that are totally one dimensional.

Apparently their mindset for every chase is play slow until you reach 35 overs and then some how Afridi will come out blast the ball to all parts of the park. It's a tactic that works once in every 10 games because it's dependent on Afridi's batting.

The funny thing is no matter how many times this tactic fails we do it again and again and again..
 
280 was always going to be a tall task to chase. Especially in Sri Lanka, where it's incredibly difficult to bat under lights.
 
Afridi fails to make an impression - Pak are finished.
 
Why is Sarfraz blocking? Jeez, your not a great batsman, stop defending...Go for the kill...Your not going to win us the game...

Might as well, make your self look good in a losing cause...
 
Russel Arnold is having a field day. He gets to say nice stuff about Lankans after a very long time :)))
 
No doubt about it.. India batting is easily the strongest in the world.. their batting is much better than our bowling.. our batting is so average that we'd make the Indian bowlers appear great..

Pakistan have long way to go..

Yup, Oh well....What can we do
 
If our wonderful batting lineup keeps up, we will never win a game against India, IN India.
 
Pakistan coach needs to train them in getting singles, so valuable in a chase like this would have relieved the pressure and could have maintained an healthy run rate.
 
Just compare paks Batting Approach to indias.If India was in the same situation as pak they would play their shots and talk about getting closer to the score. They wouldnt defen like these guys are doing

Misbah was always like this.what is Dav doing

Singles and double would really help.. but one of the other things these batsmen have issues with is boundaries.. if they hit a boundary they are comfortable at for example playing 3 dot balls after hitting a 4.. Someone like Ghambir in the same situation take a single right after hittng a 4.. it's all about pressure..
 
sarfraz is not a number 8 batsmen .... he has to bat higher
wen will they understand .
 
Perera get the remaining 3 wickets..:D 8 wicket Haul!
 
Russel Arnold :))) Hahahah!

" SL know how to control. They choke teams "
 
our tail is far far too long. Kukri cant hold a bat and Afridi is hit and miss
 
umm.. ok.. Pak has already gave up this match, nothing to watch here. These rem batsmen cant fight.
