India be scared, be very scared

[Franco Vazquez]

The T20 bullies of Pakistan are back. This T20 team is different, they don't have any weakness except Shadab and Street bowler Rauf. Most of the batsmen can hit miles too unlike teams of yesteryears.

I like their approach but openers might be a liability in some games. Plus, facing full strength bowling attacks, which you will in the WC, will be a massive difference. Good bowlers will resort to short balls etc to "bullies".

What’s new? Pakistan has a great day with the bat, their bowling is always competent to defend big scores.hasn’t that always been the case?

[Serpico]

India has much scarier teams to worry about. Look at the way Livingstone is batting and he is not even in main XI of England

[cricketfan28]

it is a mind game when it comes to india, not sure how that will play out.

i dont think Babar is a threat for india this tournament, i feel he might come of short vs them. Its actually Rizwan who i fear; as we have never played him before in any format.

Still going with this charade eh?

This the weakest attack England could have played,you guys are too lucky playing Zimbabwe,SL and C,D sides of top 4

Reminds me of the threat Hasan Ali gave before Asia cup about how he will take all 10 wickets against India. Also did a dance in Wagah border. Then Rohit and Dhawan violated him and rest as they say is history.

 

Just hope OPs threat dont go south like that.

T20 performance has been good since Rizwan started opening and Hafeez found his new bat swing.

 

Only problem is that Hafeez is 40+ 

 

Maybe we can fit in sharjeel as well at number 3 instead of Azam. I would like to see ths for t20 world cup:

 

Babar

Rizwan

Sharjeel

Hafeez

Fakhar

Sohaib

Nawaz

Faheem

Hasan 

SSA

Hasnain

Even if pakistan plays well they ll do India a favour as we have 2 bogy teams - England n NZ , Pakistan has gotten better of them in Wc few times and they still can any day. 

But we ll always get better of pakistan in Wc

I reckon we would beat England in WC. N.z definitely our bogey team. We never beat them even In world events since 2003. 

 

We have beaten England a few times post 2003 even in finals.

england is a much more sorted side and captain is also calmer then ours. In pressure games its the team that keeps it nerves comes out on top.

Yea true. Under rohit, I am certain india would pummel both Kiwis and the poms. With lohlii at helm it's difficult. 

 

He needs to go but won't happen unfortunately.

The last time India was actually scared of Pakistan was long back in 2003 World Cup, chasing 273 vs experienced Wasim/Waqar and peak Akhtar.

 

Since then Pakistan games have been mostly one sided and will seem to continue so.

There is nothing much to worry about..  However good to see Pakistan pushing for big scores & adopting modern ways. 

India on the basis of Talent & ability is quite ahead..  It will always be will we play our best possible XI or not? 

Asian teams don't usually put up good fights against us in ICC events. 

NZ is surely not making finals...  That leaves us WI & Eng Aus our biggest threats.

Jeez. Abdul from Abottabad has started to jump up and down because his team scored 230 vs an England C attack - Willey, Saqib Mahmood, Tom Curran, Gregory and Parkinson.
