So, we already have a "You know when things are bad" thread, so how about the opposite, when things are good?

I'll start:

You know things are good when agenda based haters fall silent when Pakistan set a new World Record in World Cup chases, with a debutant, Abdullah Shafiq, and the legendary, Mohammed Rizwan scoring centuries.

👍
 
Rizzu silenced the nation and rightfully so. Don't think theirs much left to do now.

All that's left is to incorporate saim ayub and Tayyab post world cup into the team and groom the next batch of bowlers and youngsters.

Saim and Abdullah will probably be our next opening pair.

Don't know what will happen to babar though..babar and imam have been the worrying signs.

Likely imam will go bye bye and babar will be dropped for captaincy but will be a player as he's a quality bat with rizzu being given the reigns of captaincy now.

When haters start coming up with excuses that Rizwan scored runs cause the opposition was Sri Lanka

If they do, just quote what their spinners and pacers did to India in the super 4 games.

If they claim pitch, then state what Indian bowlers did to them in comparison.

Really no more valid arguments against him left anymore.

Rizwan scored runs because he is Babar’s friend and wanted him to do well

Lol,

The friendship 11 thing still exists though. Yes the rizzu hate drama has ended but we still need to wake up to reality.

Firstly bowling is a huge concern, primarily shaheen's form and Rauf being a bit more expensive then usual in the middle and the spin once again being non existent.

Sheddy and nawaz irrespective of the whole friendship 11 drama bazi are still useless as spinners and liabilities.

Lastly we still have bobby as our captain who still decided to play the same winning 11 until that winning 11 gets injured, fatigued and butchered.

Their still worrying signs ahead in the clash against India.

Don’t get all this hater stuff? People who ask for changes to the team are haters? Well, one of the changes helped us win the game.
 
I am ready to eat my humble pie. Yes I can probably be nitpicky and find the faults in Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan. I was not convinced they were cut out for the format, or that they could play the types of modern innings that are needed to win games. I nearly turned off my tv when were 2 wickets down. But they made me eat all of my words, and I am happy to admit it and see Pakistan pull off a record chase.

Will I be hating again if they were to fail again? Probably, but not as much as I did before this match :p
 
When Pakistan is performing better than the current double WC champion holders England - who with all the resources and top class players - are all but out of the WC because they can barley muster 200 runs in an innings.

Your argument is that while Pakistan is performing poorly and everyone is crying in the dressing room for getting humiliated left and right

It's completly okay because another team is performing worse? Fantastic we are the best of the lowest and meakest bunch possible.

Sa, NZ and India must be feeling proud.

This arbitrary benchmark of England doing worse or India doing worse is height of mediocrity.

You should not compare your performances with others.

Message in poor taste! Is it a case of misery loves company? or "oh, its ok that we are disgustingly bad, look at others who are even worse?" - this is loser mentality. This is not the mentality of the fierce warrior team that Imran built in 92 and not the mentality of the team of the 90s that the Indians would fear facing.
 
You know things are bad when you see desperate "You know things are good" type threads when things are actually very bad.

And England won the World Cup last year. I would be happy to see Pakistan struggle like this in a World Cup after winning the previous edition. You cannot win or perform well in every World Cup.

Now now, where are all the users who come out with the "If you are world class blah blah" you can perform in any conditions?

Fact is it is good to see that Pakistan are not as bad as some are making them out to be considering how England cannot even score 200 runs in this WC against one of the worst bowling attacks, Sri Lanka, as per the haters who undermined Pakistan's World record chase.

Nothing is more embarrassing that haters having to shift the goal posts to maintain their hatred.

Aren't you always comparing with other players and teams?

The only way fans like you can call Pakistan mediocre with a straight face is indeed by comparing with other teams. This is a cold hard fact whether you like it or not. I can understand how you can no claim comparisons are a no go when Pakistan is made to look better than England.

Feel free to disagree, because I would be interested to know how you can call Pakistan a mediocre team without any comparison with other teams.

No, it is a case of Pakistan are not as bad as haters make it out to be, (this is when you know things are good), the same haters than said England would defend their WC.

Really? Is this why England got to the final of the World Cup T20 in 2016, in India, while India failed to do so in home conditions?

The difference was in T20, both teams play in dew. If it is a flat road, nobody is beating Eng.

The comparison is to show mediocrity.

Excellence is a habit which is acquired over performances.

Mediocrity is tag which is earned by lack of performance.

I have NEVER in my life ever heard a statement like what you are saying

"I know we are mediocre but oh well, at least we are less mediocre than Netherlands and England"

If this isn't the EPITOME of mediocrity thought than I dont know how else to help you.

I stopped here, because turns out I was correct.

Funny huh? Comparisons are acceptable to fans like you to show Pakistan are mediocre, but comparisons are not acceptable to show Pakistan are playing better in this WC compared to England.

Who'd have thought it!

:)
 
To take comfort in another team doing worse than you when your team is a flop is just straight up loser mentality. But it has nothing to do with that because he’s here to troll Pakistan fans whilst keeping his mask on at all times on the cricketing side of PP. It only slips on TP.

The point is not about competing for excellence. Do not change the subject.

The point is about comparisons. Clearly you are being hypocritical, but this figures.

Why do you have such a problem with Pakistan being compared to England in this WC? Is it because Pakistan are relatively performing better than England - in all facets of the game - compared to the defending World champs?

You were mocking the SL bowling line up vs Pakistan, undermining Pakistan's record WC chase, yet that same SL bowling line up skittled England today for under 160 runs. I can understand why you are emotionally hurt.

Get your high fives ready for tomorrow - I am sure Pakistan's arch rivals will be waiting for you to celebrate Pakistan's loss in unison.

One thing England is still doing better then Pakistan. Refraining from making a sequel to Lagann on Youtube

expect England to say to Pakistan "Agar ap hamei hara do, to ham ap ka 3 Salo ka Lagann maaf kar dei gei"

The question is why should I compare Pakistan with England who are performing even worse?

To boost your ego ?

To make you delirious with happiness ?

To make you hallucinate visions of Pakistan lifting the trophy?

Now repeat after me.

"I am comparing Pakistan not with India because they are top of the group but with England who are bottom of the group so I can stoke my ego and walk away with a smirk on my face. "

Everyday when I wake up, I look at Gillian who was worse than me and Ned who was worse than me and I thank God I am better than them.

I dont wish to ever improve. I just wish people would stop criticizing me because I am a stubborn man and I am at height of my powers.

Once upon a time 4-6 years ago I was also the best and I would like to remind people constantly of that.

I want my ego to be satiated so whenever I am performing poorly I try to compare myself to the worst of the lot to boost myself."

No, again, that is not the question.

The question is why do you have a problem when others compare Pakistan to various teams in this WC to demonstrate that Pakistan is not playing that badly as you describe? It is your hate, ego, and agenda that have been busted.

As I mentioned, you are happy to compare Pakistan's mediocracy by comparing with other teams/players, but not when Pakistan are painted, albeit not often, in a positive light.

You even have a problem when Pakistan fans are optimistic on a win BEFORE a match.

Let the hate go.

You are still refusing to get it.

Anyways, since we both are at loggerheads over this there is a simple way to end this.

My word or your word is irrelevant.

Let the points table decide in the end how Pakistan is playing.

It’s a sign of utter mediocrity when one derives solace or even pleasure from the failure of others (forget the fact that this failure was a WC champion last time).

But during England series in Pakistan you kept talking so big that it was England C or D team, and that England ll mop the floor even in subcontinent with A team. Which team showed up in the world cup then? From non-stop negativity and bias against Pakistan team to "you cannot win or perform well in every world cup".... Comical, not surprising. How that quoted statement doesn't apply to Pakistan? Here comes a long usual nag I assume about everything wrong with Pakistani team and how all others can have a bad tournament, but if its Pakistan it's the worst team on the planet, worst players, worst bla bla falana dekhana.

Food for thought that Pakistan won a major ODI tournament in last couple of years and also almost made it to semis if not for NRR in last world cup, and has been top ODI team per ranking etc :)

His point is still valid though, why the usual doom and gloom don't apply the same logic with other teams? With Pakistan it's the worst team ever and all other childish takes but other teams can have bad days/bad tournamnets/out of form players etc but not Pakistan, quite immaturish take

It doesn't matter how Rizwan performs against SA, he has already proven his worth over years and that he is among the best wicketkeeper batsmen in the world right now and his consistent performances speak for itself. He has changed batting fortunes of Pakistan when other than Babar all we have gotten are mediocre bunch so Rizwan has been a tremendous blessing. Anyone denying or questioning his role cannot be taken serious, and it's usually from the crowd who post with a box of tissue next to them for their tears, who find all sort of fault with Pakistani team regardless whether they are doing well or not.

Asia Cup and World Cup struggle has brought many fake fans out, not a surprise South Asian in general are filled with fickle fairweather fans

England C, D, E, F whatever - they will thump Pakistan on the type of wickets that Pakistan produce at home.

The England team that is struggling badly at the World Cup would still trounce Pakistan in Pakistan because Pakistani pitches offer no spin at all.

They might even trounce Pakistan in this World Cup still because although the pitches are turning, Pakistani spinners have mastered the art of not turning the ball.

Last couple of years? CT was won 6 years ago. That is not “couple of years”. Seems like your performances in maths exams was as bad as Pakistan’s performance in this World Cup.

There is no trophy for “almost made it to semis if not for NRR”. You know things are bad when you are using such examples to justify the performance of Pakistan team.

The England team have picked up two World Cups in the last four years, won a series against every team against full-strength opposition which meant their number 1 ranking had validity and credibility unlike Pakistan’s number 1 ranking that was built on beating reserve teams.

England were genuine number 1 for many years while Pakistan has never been a top 4 ODI team in a very long time on pure cricketing merit.
 
When Pakistan won despite a target of 402.

Fakhar's hitting was superb. He hit 16 sixes in the last 2 games combined.
