Popular Post cric_fan Posted July 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2019 I had high hopes, naturally. Sadly, it was not to be. Yes I feel very sad/upset. But, I am proud of how you fought from being bottom of the pile to almost 4th. To beat favourites Eng & a unbeaten NZ was inspirational. The 92 vs 19 comparison was fun whilst it lasted..gave padosis a scare infact :D Indian’s can diss all they want but fact is Ind cricket is far superior. Good luck to them in the semi’s & final! As for Pak team, I am looking forward to the retirement of Malik & Hafeez..two very average cricketers that have had a free ride for the last 10yrs. I believe these two have been a massive obstacle. We’ll be back stronger in 2023. I6MTW, Shaz1, speedheat and 41 others 2 3 39 Link to comment

deathmonger Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Naah, Pakistan isn't coming back stronger in 2023. In fact I reckon they will be below Bangladesh. Their are structural problems related to Pakistan cricket which ties in with the economy. raki05 and cric_fan 1 1 Link to comment
GolGappe Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Decision to bowl first against India and Australia was the most important reason behind Pakistan's elimination. Getting walloped by West Indies and letting Afghanistan game get to the last over of the match didn't help either. They have a decent batting core and will probably get better as a limited over side. cric_fan 1 Link to comment
LordPrabhzy Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Please find a couple more batsmen with the same class and temperament as Babar and you guys will be a force in the next subcontinent WorldCup. Three strong asian teams will give Aus and England nightmares. cric_fan 1 Link to comment
retired_hurt Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 You had high hopes from the team that had lost 11 Odis on the trot? It will be interesting to see if Sarfaraz is booted out or he will manage to retain the captaincy and his spot in the team. Link to comment

We’ll be back stronger in 2023. you can come back stronger in 2023 in principle, but I think your TM and selectors will still play malik, hafeez, akmal bros, and other useless oldies. you need to build the team around likes of shaheen, babar, haris, etc. Link to comment
Singh bling Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Get BD out for 100 runs and chase that target in 10 overs. Link to comment
Iconoclast Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Adios Sarfraz and Azhar Mahmood. Incompetent captain and useless bowling coach. I back Babar for captaincy and would like to have Wasim as bowling coach. Frustrated 1 Link to comment

We’ll be back stronger in 2023. You will be back for multiple reasons. You have a good cricket culture and man at top is a practical person. Wish you guys the best. Lot of back and forth is nothing but fun and games. For next two games can we count on your support and good wishes. Link to comment

Imam is not a guaranteed starter in tests. Babar or Sohail are the only 3 format players that I currently see among the batsmen. Link to comment

Gollum Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) I think Pak played better than expectations, they had a 11/12 match losing streak and then that massacre against WI. The wins against Eng and NZ were high quality, good entertainment against Aus and Afg. In Babar they might have found their greatest ODI batsman since Inzi, maybe even Javed...I have been impressed by his growth, that 100 against NZ was a masterclass. Afridi is a good find, Amir has been brilliant, Haris made impact straight away.... but only 5-6 players pick themselves. Time for a mass clean up (including coaches, selectors etc), special focus should be on developing attacking spinners for WC 2023 in India. And FGS set right your awful fielding, no excuse for such pathetic catching/fielding in 2019. Even fitness standards looking abysmal, not a professional unit from neutral pov.
