When I see hacks like Fakhar getting success at intl level, I wonder what damage a better batsman like Pant can do if he can given the opening slot. Need a leader with vision post the WC.

180 off 20 required. 9 wickets in hand. Pak might pull this off if they play smartly

On pitches like this Dhawan will make hay.  He just loves these kind of surfaces.

I don't even recall any ball going to the keeper lol Such an insipid bowling attack.

They are old. They will be phased out. Gill should come in.

[vvvslaxman]

Hope Indian TM follow these matches and learn the nature of the surfaces they play on.

Which idiot was responsible for Jadeja’s selection in our World Cup squad? 

 

He’s going to get manhandled on these pitches 

[Forward Defence]

Once Archer is in it will get slightly better.

Is Saini having a shot? Against sub continent guys you need bouncers.

[Norman]

Asif Ali. Another hack. 

[Forward Defence]

Babar out. Very irresponsible

Hacks don’t average 55

 

Pant is a bit of a ugly slogger tbh. But should be in the team.

Average of 55 by bashing Zimbabwe c is not worth boasting about.

"rested" meaning pitting other bowlers against each other to decide who is the worst. If you ask me all of them look real bad lol
