The mighty have fallen - Revenge of the underdog

[fight_club]

"No Sir, I do not suffer From Multiple personality Disorder, I am just a Pakistan Fan"

Phase Modulation is used in Wireless World to Encode Data into RF. Pardon me but Did we Just Witness Two most Outrageous, Gobsmacking and Exhilarating Days of Cricket which has not only Turned the Rain soaked Damp ICC Tournament into the most Deliciously cooked awesomely smelling Chicken Curry from this side of world.

I just got my Smile and Swagger back, How are you doing Dude?

So, As is the norm with Pakistan specially in important ICC tournament We got of the worst possible start with worst possible combination with worst possible batting order... Oh you get the Drift

I was afraid that win Against Pakistan will Make India Ignore its poor Selection and Overrated Bowling and shocking average fielding and it did
Pakistani batsmen Spooked India Captain to Believe that He commands a very potent Bowling attack pity he did not take into consideration law if inverse Square Where If all things stand as it is Pakistan batsmen will be 1/4th of there total Sanity.

I am sure most of you may not get it but let me tell you One Hardik Pandya will never forget it.

Why should I only Focus on the "cherry" alone. when Pakistan Bowler set up the biggest upset of the Tournament roasting Shell Shocked Saffers into smitthereens with one of the most outstanding Bowling Display in limited over cricket I have seen Recently

Watching SA batsmen literally Dance to those toe Crushing "Yorker" bowled with relentless accuracy and pace. It was Real Treat to my sore eyes and Hurt pride. I really enjoyed the Hindi Commentators who were very generous in their praise.

To make my evening even more pleasant Walked in the Young Opener Fakhar Zaman. His brief Stay looked Very Promising My Gallbladders also Heaved sigh of relief not sighting Shehzad open. It also gave them extra Strength to bear Mr. Hafeez.

Pakistan should bat HaFeez at 6 or 7 if they have to play him. This Guy Suck my entire blood and Pakistan Momentum into oblivion by his batting. I thought I will develop "Cataract" in my Eyes watching him, I was wrong he gave be a bloody Stone in my Bladder

Malik Version 2 is the best batsmen In this Line up and He will do well to bat at No.4. The bowling looks Well Settled and Potent. No, We will not get ahead of ourselves but This team Has something going for it now. What is truly lacking is one Solid batting Performance and Sri Lanka Attack should be an invitation Pakistani batters will look forward to gladly

If Pakistan Makes it to semi's That will be an Achievement by Itself. Coming back to India Versus Lanka match I was most impressed by a Young Opener
Gunathilaka. In my Humble Opinion He should have been MOM because he did not Let Inning Fall apart and rather handled New Ball Bowlers beautifully He certainly is one Very Exciting prospect for Lanka

India and SA, World no.1 and 2 have been humbled by No.7 and 8 on Two consecutive Days and from here onward everyone should forget about Reputations, Favorites, underdogs or dogs. It's Wide open and up for asking
whoever will play well and have courage can Take it from here

Logged onto PakPassion a few hours after the match and all I see is a dozen threads celebrating the "humbling" of India and South Africa. Sums up the minnow mentality of Pakistani fans and how they take excessive pride in the demise of others.

Khud kuch kar saktay hai nai, bas auron be hasna aata hai.

One fluke win vs South Africa and our heads are back in the clouds. Neither South Africa nor India have been "humbled". They are top class teams with top class performers, and it is not the end of the world if they lost a match. In addition, neither is it the revenge of the "underdog". I don't mind the satisfaction over beating South Africa and the elation of Sri Lanka beating India, but we are starting to embarrass ourselves now.

Both teams wipe the floor with us and one match doesn't change that. We need to focus and worry about our performance and our team, and put an end to our schadenfreude.

SA are rubbish in ICC events and I am not surprised they lost against Pakistan.

And on topic Lanka were brilliant today but they still are poor team overall.

Yes, but they are still a top team and in a different stratosphere compared to Pakistan. Who are rubbish both in ICC events and in bilaterals. All these celebrations over the last two days are becoming cringeworthy now. It takes 24 hours for Pakistan cricket to become a bed of roses. Absolutely nothing has changed, except for the fact that we might fluke our way into the semis only to get demolished by England.

Fluke??? Pakistan Bowlers Have capacity to hand them over a Win and they Did with one the most clinical performance. I was not too Pumped when SA score read 140/6 something with Morris and Dangerous Miller still at the Crease. Now we all have witnessed Pakistan allowing Teams to come back and score big specially in the slog overs

But We managed That petty well isn't it

Yes Pakistan Remains A Very Poor Team in ODI's because of its pathetic Selection and Dead woods in batting
but Lets not Forget to Celebrate any small Positive or performance which comes our way

Not often would you see Amla getting out to a nothing bowler like Imad, and de Villiers getting out for a duck. It is not usual for Amla, de Kock, du Plessis and de Villiers to all go missing on the same day. In addition, the likes of Rabada and Tahir looked off-colour as well. There is no doubt we played very well, but also had our fair share of luck.

First of Thanks Sir for Warm Welcome, now Coming to your Reply I Partially agree but Please take the following points into consideration

1. We bowled Well and kept them under tight Lease in First 8 overs and Then we introduced Spin. Imad is a Good ODI bowler if we understand his limitation Did you Notice Even Indians Could not take him for cleaners barring Last over. This guy is Especially Difficult if you have not played him much Plus the pressure of Dots got to Amla. Hafeez is Good Against Left Handers and SA is Poor Against Spin

We must Give Credit to Pakistan that It was Clinical Performance in the Field and also Accept the fact that Reputation will not save you when things comes to a Boil

Understand What we were all expecting after such a Hiding. Its really Difficult to Raise yourself when you are against the wall and down for all the count So lets Give our Team some Credit where its due The boys showed some Character and fight. In the end isn't that what we least want to see??

I agree, and the team does deserve credit and they have received plenty of plaudits over the last 24 hours, but none of our problems have been solved after one big win. Hence, we need to focus on ourselves and try to raise the bar instead of looking at the rare poor performances of teams like SA and India, who are levels above us.

One fluke win? Please.

Why is it that whenever we win you call it a fluke?

 

[fight_club]

So third consecutive day now

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Now if England beat Australia tomorrow then it will be 4th consecutive day

Agree. We are lucky we have South Africa and Sri Lanka in your group otherwise we would have got a battering all 3 games. We always pull it of against South Africa and Sri Lanka. But our batting is very thin and if we get to semis and play England we will get a thrashing. I hope I am wrong though.

 

[fight_club]

^^

Well England Defeating Aussies would not Qualify as Upset but Bangladesh Reaching Semi's Ahead
of Mighty Aussies will a whopping upset alright

However for the Sake of parity I would like to See Aussies Qualify

Completely agree. SA are far superior in all departments, but we are their bogey team. England and Australia would have battered us in Group A, but I think we could have beaten NZ.

 

[fight_club]

Nobody should be under impression that Game against Lanka will be a walk in the park. We have worst batting
lineup among all. However Those making Sweeping Remarks should do well to Remember that Pakistan win games by putting team under pressure by Quality bowling and that allow the weaker discipline to sail through

What Has Sunk the Team to Such Abyssal height has been rapid Degeneration of Bowling

I think We have just Started to get our bowling right and I am afraid Of what I witnessed against SA was a far superior Effort than many posters over here Realize and attributing our win Against SA to Bogey or Fluke etc

In pressure match You hardly see Team run away with the match by out batting the other team rather its about working your way through a good Total and than Defending it

I totally agree that We are no.8 because we simply Suck in ODI's but Folks hold on your negativity there are few bright spots and little self belief can do wonders for teams on occassions
