What went wrong with Pakistan's ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign?

[Sachin fan]

No. Pakistan only lost because of black magic by some pandits. India didn't want to visit Pakistan because it wouldn't have been possible in Pakistan.

You know that video is a satire/parody right? You believed it was true?

@GLORY OF '92

I'm not referring to him as a player. He's one of the reason why pak won ct and he's been pak's best allrounder in recent times. Since his retirement only agha is his competitor but agha isn't a great bowler like hafeez was and deapite agha having better batting form then hafeez did from 2017-2020 but overall hafeez has had a better peak and career.

I'm referring to him post 2020, his selections and his managerial performance did not match his words. Idk if this is because he's a hypocrite or if PCB forced his hand.

Hmm I dunno about his bowling during that period. Pretty dodgy action.

Hafeez's peak as a bowler was the 2010s when he, Ajmal and Afridi combined to make one of the best spin-attacks in limited-overs cricket.

He got tested multiple times and cleared it every time.

Talk about Champions Trophy only

Yes I remember but he wasn't bowled that much because he had a natural tendency to bend his arm somewhat which always made him vulnerable to be reported.

The thing is, it's not possible to cheat the system. They ask you to bowl exactly what was reported on footage to test your action. You cant just bowl anything else.

If that were the case saeed ajmal would have cheesed it.

The whole video is available on YouTube. They are parodying another sports channel in pakistan on their reaction to Champions trophy defeat.

Not every bowler does it deliberately. For most of them its like a reflex action or muscle memory, which leads to them inadverteedly chucking. When you learn to bowl a certain way it isn't that easy to change it. From what I remember Hafeez very minimally in the last couple few years of his career.
