I don't know why it's so tough to swallow that pill.

Ever since the CT final, Pakistani batting has failed in each and every ODI against India and couldn't even breach 240 in any games. But somehow, they were going to beat the odds in that game and were favourites to win that lmao.

Ofcourse no one's saying it was impossible, but it gives
second hand embarassment to see even sensible posters hide behind the rain and do delusional wishy wishy.

You're flogging a dead horse by constantly repeating the same point. I have already admitted Pakistan is a mediocre side. How many ICC ODI trophies has India won though in the last decade, for being a better ODI side than Pakistan?

And somehow rain saved us from a defeat at the hands of this same mediocre side when we were defending 268 on a sporty wicket with a top notch bowling attack?

Thank you for coming the full circle.

Losing to mediocre sides is nothing you for your team, so it wouldn't have been as big of a surprise as your are making it out to be.

Thank you for embarassing yourselves. Thought you were a much better poster than this. Perhaps I was wrong.

Well yeah. You're the one who is making it sound like a Pakistan win that day would have been a surprise. That day belonged to Pakistan and that had nothing to do with the fact that India were a better overall team than them. Pakistan were simply the better team on that day. Had rain not intervened Pakistan would have won that day.

How were Pakistan the better team that day? :ROFLMAO:

Pakistan had a good start but Kishan and Pandya dominated the whole middle overs part and took India to an above par total on that wicket which was offering plenty of to the seamers.

Again, I think all this delusional woulda coulda shoulda stems from the fact that that was the only Indo-Pak ODI in the last seven years where Pakistan were left with some dignity at the end and you guys finally have something to cling into. Nothing else.

Why is pak pm and away obsessed with India. Can’t they just play and enjoy themselves. Shouldn’t he be encouraging his team rather than create hostility. Pak posters mention innumerable number of times saying Indians are obsessed with pak, look now who is talking

He shouldn't have done that... Wants to cash in on their glory in case of failure they have enough scape goats
 
Today’s match hasnt been a good PR for Pakistan leading up to the Champions Trophy. The host nation needed to exert some pre tournament dominance tonight ideally speaking. If the bowling wasn’t able to contain the opponents to a small total then the batting needed to have at least shown some fight here. They didn’t even get close. It’s a hammering.

Yep enjoy man, we can't really do anything until some leeches are plaguing the cricket in Pakistan
 
cant believe a prime minister said.. instead of wishing to play well and winning a cup all focus is on winning india game..its comic really
 
Naseem Shah addressing a press conference in Karachi ahead of the second match against South Africa in the Tri-Nation ODI series on handling the pressure of the PM's statement:

"In my opinion, words are one thing, but performing on the field is another. As players, we don’t focus too much on such statements. If you keep thinking about these things, the pressure will only increase. The more disciplined we stay and play basic cricket, the better we will perform. Our entire team is working hard, and we hope to play good cricket."
 
Hmmm...its one thing to gee up your team and give a stirring speech ...but he's tried to use the India game as a catalyst.....
i feel just gives unnessary pressure on his own team.....
just like last time soem dude - was it Rambo Raja - said about the 'blank cheque'... :wasim
 

PM to address Pakistan's Champions Trophy exit: Sana​


Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s political and public affairs advisor, Rana Sanaullah, stated that the government would take notice of Pakistan's humiliating defeats in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and their early exit from the tournament.

In a conversation with a private TV channel, Rana Sanaullah, a senior leader of the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N), explained that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would personally address the performance of the national team. He would raise the matter in the cabinet and parliament regarding the cricket-related issues.

Rana Sanaullah also mentioned that while the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is an independent body and can make its own decisions, he would personally urge Prime Minister Shehbaz to raise the issue in the cabinet and parliament. He further stated that this issue was not limited to just the appointment of a chairman.

When asked about the salaries of PCB officials, Rana Sanaullah highlighted that high-ranking officials are being paid up to Rs5 million per month, which has been confirmed by the media.

He pointed out that many officials were unaware of their responsibilities and were being paid without fulfilling their duties.

Regarding the perks and privileges of PCB officials, Rana Sanaullah expressed astonishment, saying that one might wonder whether these individuals belonged to a Pakistani institution or a developed country.

He stated that these problems within the PCB had been ongoing for years, with individuals taking charge through power and then doing whatever they pleased. This has led to the current deteriorating state of the Pakistan Cricket Board.

It’s important to note that Pakistan was hosting an ICC event for the first time in 29 years, but the national team was eliminated just four days into the tournament.

The Greenshirts faced defeats against New Zealand and traditional rivals India.

However, Pakistan was scheduled to play their final match of the tournament against Bangladesh today, but it was abandoned due to bad weather.

Pakistan has won 2 ICC trophies when his brother was the PM. They need to bring him back.

Hubris never causes long-term success. Indians should learn from history. Far bigger empires than India have fallen in the past (Roman Empire, British Empire, Spanish Empire etc.).

Na we have kids like Jaiswal gill Abhishek to take the legacy forward. I am not even worried about Batting culture and spinners because at school and club level system I see 13-14 year old kids who are majestic, humble and know how to score 150 runs in a day or plan for taking wickets on second and third day pitch. School cricket in India is 3-4 days and there in lies the difference of why we produce good batters.
But you keep dreamin but it ain't happening.
Rohit and virat are not even close to the Fab 4 of batting we had and yet we have so many successes.

Another consecutive match where Pakistan were smashed and where they barely crawled their way to 241 on a much flatter wicket and against a much weaker bowling attack from that day but sure Pakistan would have chased 266.

Why conveniently last decade brother?

India have been a better ODI side than Pakistan since 2000 and have won 1 ODI WC, 2 CTs and 3 ODI ACs compared to Pak's 1 CT and 1 ODI AC.

Of course India have been better in the other formats too and have won 2 T20 WC and 2 T20 AC this century as well.

Not to forget test series wins in Pak, Aus, England which Pakistan has not managed this century.

In the 80s and 90s when Pak were better they managed to win only 1 ODI WC, tied with India. They lost the WCC (in the final against India nonetheless) and also won less ACs than India.
 
RedwoodOriginal said:
Shaheen cleaned him up in the Asia Cup match that ended in a no-result. So right there you are wrong when you say that Shaheen has never gotten the better of him in ODIs. Since becoming the pace spearhead of the attack Shaheen has only played a couple of ODIs against India. Hardly enough of a sample size.

We'll see how Rohit "takes apart" Pakistan's bowling attack this time.
Click to expand...
Rohit is old but Gill is here.

Smashed Shaheen in that AC game which finished off the Pak "trio" and then smashed him here again.

Old Kohli also had a nice century.

Rana Sanaullah, the advisor to the PM on Political and Public Affairs, speaking to media:

“The (Pakistan) Cricket Board is an independent institution. They can do as they please, which they have. And what they've done, I will request the Prime Minister to discuss the matter in the Cabinet and Parliament.”

"The problem is we have been facing ups and downs in cricket and changes in the Board for the past decade now.”

"The expenditure happening at a higher level (PCB) should be brought in front of the country and Parliament. Mentors are being paid five million rupees and they have been heard admitting in the media that they are unaware of their responsibilities... so they've been taking money for not workin."

"If you see the perks and privileges of the PCB to players and officials, you'll wonder if this is Pakistan or some progressive European nation. These are things that the Prime Minister himself will take notice of.”

"This is a process that has been ongoing for a while where people of their own wish take up positions (in the PCB) and do as they please, which then leads to the current conditions of cricket and the board.’

"There needs to be improvement, and there needs to be a system in the form of a stable board like there is in the rest of the world."
 
When Pakistan will fluke another game in a few years, this guy will surface again, only to disappear for the next 4-5 years.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently shared his thoughts on the intense cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan during his appearance on the Lex Fridman podcast. This is what he said:

"I think sports have the power to energise the entire world. The spirit of sports brings people across nations together. That's why I would never want sports to get discredited. I truly believe sports play a major role in human evolution. They're not just games; they connect people on a deeper level,"

"Now coming to the question of who's better or not. When it comes to the techniques of the game, I'm not an expert. Only those who specialise in it can be the judge of it. They can only decide which team is the best and which players are the best. But sometimes, the results speak for themselves. Just a few days ago, India and Pakistan played a match and the result revealed who was the better team. That's how we know"
 
PCB blames injuries for Pakistan’s poor performances

The persistent underperformance of the Pakistan cricket team over the past two years came under scrutiny in the National Assembly on Monday. Despite the country’s cricket board submitting a list of factors contributing to the team’s decline, the explanations fell short of providing any substantial analysis or practical solutions.

In a written submission, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) cited general reasons such as injuries and varying playing conditions but failed to offer a deep-dive into the root causes or any meaningful measures to rectify the situation. The response lacked specific details, drawing criticism for being overly vague.

The PCB acknowledged the challenges faced by the national team in recent international tournaments, but its justification remained unconvincing.

“The PCB recognises the challenges faced by the national team in recent international tournaments and bilateral series,” the board stated, offering no clear strategy for improvement. The national team, once a formidable force in world cricket, has seen its performance take a nosedive in recent years.

After a disappointing early exit from the ICC World Cup in India in 2023, the team suffered another blow when it failed to make the semi-finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies later that year. To add to the embarrassment, Pakistan, despite hosting the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year, suffered humiliating defeats before series losses to New Zealand in both T20Is and ODIs.

During the question-answer session in the National Assembly, MNA Shazia Marri asked the PCB to explain the reasons behind the team’s consistent underperformance in both bilateral series and international tournaments over the last two years.

She also inquired about the review system in place for evaluating the selection process, coaching staff, and player fitness, and the steps being taken to develop grassroots cricket.

Although the issue was part of the Question Hour agenda, the National Assembly did not engage in a full debate on the matter. However, in its written response, the PCB outlined several factors it believes have contributed to the team’s inconsistent performances.

“Key players have suffered injuries at crucial moments, impacting team balance and strategy,” the reply read. “The PCB is actively working on strengthening injury prevention and rehabilitation programs.”

It also highlighted how varying playing conditions across different venues have sometimes hindered the team’s adaptability.

To address these issues, the PCB noted that it is focusing on improving preparation and analytical strategies for diverse playing environments.

Furthermore, the board emphasised its commitment to identifying performance gaps and implementing strategies to improve coaching methodologies and player development programs.

The PCB also assured that a robust evaluation system is in place to ensure continuous accountability and improvement in selection, coaching, and fitness.

“The selection committee follows a merit-based approach, evaluating domestic performances, fitness levels, and international exposure. Post-series reviews are conducted to reassess strategies and make necessary adjustments,” the board stated.

The board further clarified that transparent selection decisions, effective coaching, and maintaining high fitness standards for players are integral components of their long-term strategy.

In terms of grassroots development, the PCB mentioned several initiatives aimed at nurturing future talent.

“More regional tournaments have been introduced alongside ongoing domestic red and white-ball events. High-performance centers have been set up in multiple cities to provide young cricketers with professional training. Nationwide talent-hunt programs targeting schools and colleges are also underway to scout and develop emerging players,” the PCB added.

These efforts are designed to establish a sustainable cricket structure that will benefit Pakistan’s international performance in the years to come.

Meanwhile, in response to a question by MNA Sharmila Faruqui, the PCB confirmed that it is upgrading its stadiums to meet international standards.

The process, which will span several years, is expected to be completed in phases by the end of 2026. The first phase of upgrades, approved by the PCB’s Board of Governors, has an initial budget of Rs11.8 billion, with the second phase costing an additional Rs6.2 billion. The second phase will commence after the completion of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in April 2025.

The PCB also assured that there have been no budget overruns so far. “The PCB undergoes two audits annually, at the end of its fiscal year. The audits for the current fiscal year will take place after June 30, 2025,” the board confirmed.

Regarding the financial aspects of hosting the ICC Champions Trophy, the PCB clarified that the event is owned and managed by the International Cricket Council (ICC), with all related income and expenses falling under ICC’s purview.

The feasibility study was conducted as part of the event’s overall planning, and the PCB earned approximately Rs3 billion, surpassing its initial target of Rs2 billion.

However, the final profit figure will be determined once the ICC completes its financial audit. The PCB insisted that there had been no overspending or mismanagement, as the Champions Trophy was entirely managed by the ICC.
