If we win when Saj is at the game, we'll need to make him Head Coach. The only solution.

Sounds fair to me although i might not be in the board of decision makers.

 

[Bhaijaan]

What a shot on the very first ball of the day.

Looks like this team wants to win today.

Well I was at all of Pakistan's matches at the T20 World Cup.

I was also at most of Pakistan's matches during the Champions Trophy 2017.

So not a bad record

 

[Saj]

Watching Fakhar live, you realise just how bad his footwork is.

It's like his feet are planted in cement outside the leg stump.

Horrible batting and horrible dismissal.

Do they even need to warm up?

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

Distressing fact that Pakistani crowd today is so dead.

 

[Saj]

A few nervous Dil Dil Pakistan chants from the Pakistani contingent today at Edgbaston.

The reality is that there are hardly any superstars in Pakistan cricket these days to excite the fans.

You don’t need any superstars to support a team. Bangladesh hardly had any superstars yet their fans were the most passionate. Same could be said about Afghanistan before Rashid

Pakistan fans have always had superstars to cheer on and idolise and players who ignited passion when they watch the team, particularly live.

At the moment, Pakistan lacks that star quality which probably puts some fans off.

 

[sharmaji]

Absolutely. And not just Pakistanis who cheered the Pak superstars. I remember Indian fans cheering for and being excited to watch Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar, Inzamam and Abdul Razzak. There were also many female fans for Afridi across the world.

Pakistan fans have always had superstars to cheer on and idolise and players who ignited passion when they watch the team, particularly live.

At the moment, Pakistan lacks that star quality which probably puts some fans off.

Not truly a surprise, they want to win and it would be best for them to use their best available players.

 

[Saj]

Pakistani fans awake again after that much-needed wicket.

Again watching the action live, you realise how the lack of athleticism in the Pakistan side is a problem. A few liabilities in the field for Pakistan.

 

[Saj]

Nearly 19,000 fans at Edgbaston today.

Lovely weather, great atmosphere and a very good game of cricket.

 

[MenInG]

The Babar Azam effect on the crowd - standing ovation as he walks back to the pavilion after scoring 158

[MenInG]

A happy Pakistan camp in a huddle

 

[Saj]

Looking around the ground during the Vince and Gregory partnership - the body language was terrible. No leaders at all, nearly the whole team hands on hips looking at each other, looking mentally gone.

A distinct lack of leaders in this team at the moment.

 

[MenInG]

Brilliant atmosphere at Edgbaston

Terrible performance in the field by Pakistan.

Really poor body language out there.

If you cannot defend 331, you have a problem.

That is an excellent conversion rate.

 

[Saj]

Some very annoyed fans leaving the ground yesterday - but speaking to a few of them they expect mediocrity now and take these poor results for granted these days.

Which stand were you sitting in? The stand where I was had a lot of people from player's references, Usama Mir and journalists.

 

[SangasCoverDrive]

First time seen such a poor Pakistani crowd at Edgbaston

Edgbaston has always been a home game for Pakistan against England and every other team maybe except India but seeing yesterday's crowd, I think it is about to change. Pakistan's crowd yesterday was really small in numbers and most of the fans who were even there were on reference from either players or the media. If it continues to remain the same, then PCB will lose the leverage against ECB of having a huge Pakistani fanbase in the UK, and ECB might start treating Pakistan like CA. Most of the crowd was white British and they didn't come to watch the game because they love cricket but because they have been starving for international cricket or even football at the stadium. On normal days, The stadium would not even have been half full.

 

[gazza619]

I live 15 min away from the ground, i really wanted to go but the available ticket prices were priced at £170 which was way too much even if our teams had big stars.

 

[mastimasti]

The issue may have been covid, which has affected BAME communities in Britain far more than others, decreasing confidence in public events. A recent poll in London shows more BAME people are against re-opening and going back to normal post covid than white Londoners.

Anyway, on top of all that, there may have been some ticketing impropriety, as has been the case with other sporting and music events. Tickets being sold to only particular sets of fans or being sold to corporate events or re-sold etc. That obviously cuts out Pakistani fans.

 

[Maher96]

Pakistani crowd was good under the circumstances.

All I know is I am going to the 2nd T20 match and will clearly hold up as many poster as I can to outline failures of Our beloved Coach Misbah.

Hope everyone will Join me it’s time to take matter is our own hands otherwise these stubborn people in charge won’t learn.

Go Misbah Go…!

I'm a die hard Pakistani cricket fan but I wouldnt pay 170 to watch a game either.

 

[GreenKhan]

Were you at the match ?

I was there and the family stand and some of the others had good pockets of Pakistan fans . In fact the family stand was 90% Pakistan fans

The Eric hollows stand “barmy army stand” has always been the traditional English stand as they are all drink by midday there .

Even watching the highlights it’s very evident that there was lots of Pakistan fans. Pretty much how it’s always been . Even Cardiff where I went had a decent amount of Pakistani fans .

I’m not sure how you have come to this very bizarre conclusion.

You have to hold a ‘Misbah and Waqar OUT’ poster. Show the PCB what the fans want.

Well at least in my stand, there were hardly any Pakistani fans and could hardly see any green shirts in the stadium.

I thought there might be more of me .

Thanks for the prayers brother.

Well I have two hands plus a friend so 4 poster I can hold up- suggestions are welcome I think Misbah/Waqar OUT could be one.

Can’t make it as I’m in Pakistan but hope your voices and banners are heard and seen. Enough is enough.

Hope more Pakistan supporters in Nottingham on Friday!

Yes lower numbers than usual.

Probably down to covid and an average Pak team.
