Austin 3:!6 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Quote During the second ODI at Lord’s, one of the commentators raised the possibility of England or India lifting the ICC World Cup 2019 at that particular historic stadium exactly after one year. “We could see these two teams playing the World Cup final next year,” the commentator said. However, Nasser, who was also present in the commentary box at that time predicted Pakistan as the favourite to clinch the title in 2019. “Watch Pakistan sneak in and win the World Cup”, Nasser replied to the fellow commentator. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/342084-pakistan-as-favourites-to-win-icc-world-cup-2019 Link to comment

Global.Baba Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 This article is gross exaggeration. I heard his commentary. All he said was India and England are the 2 best ODI teams in the world and these 2 might meet on the same venue next year. But never say never with this format as someone like Pakistan can sneak in and win the cup. Nothing wrong with what he said. WeStMiDz and velu 1 1 Link to comment
Turning_track Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Who knows!! Pakistan is a very mercurial team, they might lose match after match in a tourney then suddenly they rise from the ashes to defeat the favorites. Their fielders suddenly grab difficult catches, bowlers hitting fine lengths & inconsistent batters scoring confidently. I just hope Kohli doesnt make the same mistakes against them in 2019 WC, last time in the final we did not even look like a professional & a disciplined team during the match.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) I do to think pak can win Aus- m not sure how will team adapt when warner n smith cme back in dressing room, they also lack a spinner Nz- wo bhi choker hi hai Sa- choker - abdv Ind- Nervous captain , conservative think tank , backups not properly prepared Eng- toothless bowling , i dnt rate them good under pressure Pak- has done well in eng n Wcs + bowling attack + fakhar zaman looks like a man for final+ Sarfraz as captain looks good under pressure . Their batting can screw them . Still I think they have a better chance then others Edited July 16, 2018 by Ankit_sharma03 Gollum 1 Link to comment
GolGappe Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Their unpredictability makes them very dangerous in knock-out games. But it just takes couple of in-fights between their players to derail the whole campaign. express bowling and adi B 2 Link to comment
Vilander Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 i think given their recent form its not an exaggeration. It will be a toss up between ind and pak as to who will meet eng in final and possibly loose. Link to comment

Can't remember the last time their playing xi didn't play as a cohesive unit. We had the rumble fiasco etc... Link to comment

Jimmy Cliff Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 My picks for the semis: Ind/Eng/Pak/NZ. Pakistan have come a long way since their defeat against India in the group game in last year's CT when they looked absolutely hopeless. Gotten rid of most/all of their accumulators and replaced them with dangerous hacks like Fakhar. If they get Sharjeel back they'd be even stronger. adi B and Gollum 2 Link to comment

Gollum Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Only problem is Pakistan have never won when they entered as favourites: 1992, 2009, 2017 they were underdogs with horrible starts to their campaigns. This time they will enter as legit contenders, let's see how they react to that added pressure. But kudos to Pak selectors and coaches (Arthur, Flower, Azhar Mahmood)....if our selectors and coaching staff were that good, the result of the WC would be a foregone conclusion, alas !!! adi B 1 Link to comment

putrevus Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 India if top order fails is not even a semi finalist especially with round robin format.There are only six players who are justifying their places Link to comment

I thought this picture was gold. Kohli is dying to go play "touch and giggle" with Dhoni. Anushka is furious about these touch and giggle games. Kohli looks terrified.
