Pakistan welcome to chokers club

[nitinbwj]

Not a choke. Batting is their Achilles heel. Once they sort it out, they have the bowling to defend it. They were 121 after 16 overs. Should have easily scored 150 from there. Before the Ind game, Eng had conceded less than 6 runs from 15-20. Pandya took them to cleaners. They were back to business today in the death.

The two best sides played the final

Nope Pak were lucky to get to finals. Should have been Newzealand or India/ Aus.

cause Pakistani batting sucks and pandya is a great hitter.

Pakistan was never good enough to win finals. They were extremely lucky to be in semis.

Adelaide was the only place where our trundlers were rendered ineffective and we played Eng's tullas there.

But they played that exceptional game against SA. Absolutely belted them to oblivion

Ireland beat England too. England was very l;ucky with toss and then played in a ground which suited them against India.

And lost to Zim, nearly lost to Bangers if not for Rambo buying that 3rd umpire

Lol no. Pakistan have won their last 3/4 matches vs Newzealand.

 

india and aus were not good enough

Bowlers fought hard. Shaheen got injured and i think wasim was their weakness. Overall bowling was top class something which worldcup winning sides have but their batting was again not up to mark today and reason for their loss. Surely not a choker team and will continue to do well in this format.

[the don]

Should have posted a defendable score from 84 in 11 and 121 in 16 

 

The wrong batting order and lack of depth really hurt. Tried to go too hard on the long boundaries.

 

Babar i think lost all the tosses in this tournament.

Lol at that D/L game...  Eng would have won that easily looking at how that gane WaS shaping up.

Wasim jnr Tulla lost the game with bat & ball...  Dahani would have tonked a few & bowled better hard length here.

Yeah but your key bowler getting injured *during* the match is something different entirely

Playing one good game does not mean they were good team. Even SA played a great game against India.

That may be but there's no guarantee that he'd have won them the game, the odds were still even IMO although Eng were ahead in the win predictor. As long as Stokes was there it was England's match to lose!

Babar Azam is new entry in chokers club

But … one thing is always constant in babar azam’s captaincy - always end up higher then india in all tournaments 
 

and also atleast we played finals which india hasn’t played in last 10 years atleast (expect champions trophy which they lost to … Pakistan!!)
