It was a good plan and perfect execution… backed with Jazbaa & Junoon…

 

We too had some plans but failed to execute as Trundlers like Bhuvi bowling…

 

Pakistan is known for these glory balls in crunch matches. Akram in 1992 world cup final with back to back wickets, Amir triple strike agianst us. in CT2017. Even Asia cup india was 8/3 for chasing 85 runs. Amir was running riot. Kohli saved the day.  Then again Shaheen in the world t20.

Afridi has been bowling this way every single match. Thats his strength, the incoming full delivery to the right habder after a couple away.  He didnt do anything different against India

 

Difference between attacking bowling and defensive bowling

Hatsoff to Raza if this is true. Why can't Indian think tank plot the dismissals of top batsmen of opposition even before the match begins.

 There should be a glaring weakness in the batsmen which needs to be used for that to happen successfully.

We've done this more often than given credit for, Ramiz is just being a tool with his usual histrionics like their stupid *ing minister with d**** in his mouth

Even Rohit knew what he was going to get.If Rohit gets that delivery 100 times , he will get out 95 times.

No you give that to the bowler.That was a perfect delivery, it will get Afridi a wicket most of the time.

In crunch games if it is between Khaleel Ahmed and Rohit i will have to slightly favor Khaleel. Rohit sharma is a poor starter. He gets a freaky four, close calls. He doesn't have that water tight defense. But once he sees off initial threat he plays the same deliveries better.

Isn't it the case with most batsmen. If they get Jaffa at the start of their innings they look helpless.

Some are more vulnerable.  Ponting was a nervous fidgety starter as well. But he often doesn't face the new ball.

IIRC Ramiz being particularly involved in an Indo Pak game long back, that moment is stuck in my head. It's that game where Anwar scored 194 & Ramiz was in commentary. It was a stiff target of 328 and Sachin was out early. Sourav was timing the ball well, Ramiz explicitly gave a tip or two to a Pakistani player and very soon Sourav was gone, caught on the off side boundary. Dravid & co tried their bit but it wasn't enough. 

 

The other such memory is Miandad suggesting Moin what shot to play in the final over while chasing 349. Doesn't come across too well.

PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja speaking during a press conference. — PCB 

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja and Pakistan skipper Babar Azam plotted star Indian opener Rohit Sharma's dismissal in the T20 World Cup before the match even began.

This was revealed by Ramiz Raja in a podcast interview with the BBC. 

Raja disclosed how he and Babar Azam spoke about dismissing Sharma.

"I asked [Babar] what are your plans against India," said Raja.

According to Raja, Babar Azam replied that he has plans and that the team intends to employ Cricviz and do the matchup.

"I understand but India will also be using Cricviz and then they will have a ploy set up against you too," the PCB chairman had responded to Babar Azam.

So, that becomes nothing for us, he had added.

Raja then told Babar Azam to "get Shaheen Afridi bowling at 100mph, get a man at short-leg and a 45."

"Just bowl that inswinging yorker at 100mph and do not give him a single and keep him on strike," Raja had told him.

"You will get him out."

Shaheen Afridi had dismissed Rohit Sharma, courtesy of a fast, inswinging yorker on the very first ball he faced.

Later, he clean bowled KL Rahul in his next over, dealing India back-to-back crushing blows.

With figures of 3/31, Shaheen Afridi managed to play an integral part in restricting India to 151/7 off their 20 overs.

Half-centuries by Mohammad Rizwan and skipper Babar Azam helped Pakistan vanquish the Men In Blue for the first time in a World Cup match.

 

Toh miya rameez lage hath ye bhi bata do ki manish satoriya aur Mithun Vaidya ke against mr 100 mph Shaheen Afridi ko julab lag gya tha kya.
