Bangalore outfield can be cleared up very quickly even if rains until 6:30. We might get a T20 tomorrow. At the very least then. Assuming we don't get any more rain Link to comment

Well, looks like the Nizam is smiling on Pak for sure. they can easily thrash the useless eng Link to comment
Mariyam Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 As I see it, Pak or NZ can't stop us. Let them worry about playing us. Both are significantly weaker teams. Its Afghanistan that worry me more. Not once has their batting collapsed. They scored 270+ against us. If they beat SA by a good margin we play them in the semis. We should pull through but they will run us close. Also Afg is a difficult team to dislike. Norman 1 Link to comment

Afg collapsed vs bangladesh of all teams, and also did poorly vs NZ. they are a weak team, and will not qualify for SF Mariyam 1 Link to comment

England have had the 2nd worst batting lineup in the tournament, only better than NED. So, Afghans are kinda screwed whichever way you look at it. Link to comment

It's an agenda i believe against him. Link to comment

But they are 1 batter short especially since Stokes can't bowl . Picking an unfit Stokes as a specialist batter has imbalanced this team and forced them to pick both Livingstone and Moeen. You can't have both of them in a lineup. And they don't have the guts to play both Brook and Stokes, Buttler at #6 and just one of Moeen/Livingstone at #7. Their bowling nay not be elite but their batting is absolutely dogshi* and easily the the worse department. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Ind v Pak Semi final let's goooo man... Time to recreate 2011 mania. If it washes out NZ v SL game... Even I have to believe in Qudrat ka Nizaam Link to comment
Gollum Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Hope we meet them again and make it 9-0. Social media mein bahut uchal kood kar rhe hai padosi, this time we'll play 5 proper bowlers and be even more merciless. Tillu, nitinbwj, Norman and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment
Gollum Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 In hockey, Pak fans (and players, coaches) literally pray that they somehow avoid playing India, such is the fear. In fact I sometimes feel they deliberately underperform against other teams to avoid SF clash against India...every time after getting walloped in group games. Need to generate similar fear in cricket as well, many of them still too delusional and we also helped them out by losing some matches in recent years. Tillu 1 Link to comment

Pakistani hockey is dead. No fans, no interest. Plus they are not even on the same level as India. They are basically what Nepal is in cricket. They don't even qualify for World cups or Olympics. Even within Asia (which is not very good itself) they are behind Japan, Korea, Malaysia etc. Link to comment
dilliboy Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Oh bhaisaab....lagta hai kal ka washouts hone wala hai match. And after Maxwell's freak show to demolish Afghan hopes, Qudrat ka Nizam is indeed on! Link to comment

For them it is a convenient excuse when they lose to India, that they don't have fans, don't have facilities and what not. They were out in full force when they beat us in CT 10 years back at Kalinga. So many beatings have humbled them now. Link to comment
