Well he is not wrong about the team not being that good.

Personally, I want a new T20 champion. 

Yes, we do have a bang average team which needs a good dose of luck to get through against any non minnow opposition. But it's fun to see chucktar's heart burn and venting!

Before round of 12 started i would have agreed but I am not sure if it holds good today. Thanks to rain other group is a mess and we do not know which teams make it to  semis. I have not started to believe we can make it to final and who knows what happens in final.

Logical take only, no? We aren't that good (if we are to pick 4th seamer it is "Mr. 24 slower balls" :hysterical:) and have been choking left, right, centre in ICC KOs since 2014. Aus, Eng, NZ, all 3 teams will start as massive favorites against us if we make it to SF.

I really really hope Sri Lanka pull of a shocker and beat two of NZ and Eng, thereby qualifying for SF and be our opponent (assuming we finish top of our group) . 

 

 

I have no hopes against Aus/Eng/NZ.

I'm sorry to say OP but you just like the many of the ICF posters are obsessed with what Pakistani posters/players say about India and its players.

 

It works both ways man.

 

 

A faceless amateur forum poster isn't same as a famous retired cricketer who earns loads of money from the Indian audience. 

 

Similar logic was used last year to defend their ex cricketers who were making bigoted statements after their win. A handful of random anonymous Indian trolls who abused Shami on Instagram were made International news!

I am totally okay with his assessment but this came after Pak's defeat to Zim which begs a question that he doesn't cares about his own team performance & is rather focused on seeing Indian team getting knocked out..  Which may happen but that's not the point.  Few days ago after Indo Pak game he said Pakistan will meet India again &,  beat them lol...  You have to call out this hypocrisy.  This was his inner Indian hate on display.

India is Australia's bogey team this decade.. And  matchups do work in our favor.  I'll be more confident to put them away rather than say NZ/Eng or even SL. 

Fickle format...  If luck plays a role then who knows. 

SA is fully capable of beating the cr*p outta NZ/Eng too.

Ofcourse. What else were you expecting?. My point is Indians give him a lot of views (which is not needed) and then grumble when he says stuff like this.

Don't give him that money and satisfaction.

Dont give Akhtar YouTube views lol. 

 

As far as his assessment goes,  let's first qualify for the Semifinal and then think about anything else. 

 

We need 2 more wins to ensure qualification. It won't be easy to beat Zimbabwe at MCG and Bangladesh at Adelaide. 

 

BD at MCG and Zimbabwe at Adelaide would've been better for us

Yep...  I don't visit his channel mostly but saw this tweet & was kinda surprised that he exposed himself on YT...  Now gullible

 Indian fans are asking to boycott him lol

Adelaide is 2nd most pace friendly venue in Aus after Perth... BD is ripe for the taking there under lights.

Wr lost even to SL in the Asia Cup! But better to play them than the annoying Kiwis or Aus/Eng.
