Pakistan-Respect!!

[zubinpepsi]

I think it’s time we give respect to this Pakistani team. 
chased a 300+ score the other day against srilanka..

and now on their way to chase the highest total against the mighty Ozzie’s..

 

don’t think our team would have pulled this off..

 

hats off pakistan

Don't know if India couldn't have done it. But Respect for where its due!

Looks like a comfortable win on the cards for Aus in the end.

On this flat highway with extremely short boundaries, even a mediocre batting line up is likely to score around 300.  No big deal.  Scoring close to 400 or above is a big deal.

LMAO.   Stop this man!! On a dead flat wicket, Pak batters are batting like minnows and losing by 50+ runs.  The win predictor, throughout the game has been 75 to 90% chance in favour of Aus.  End result is not a surprise.   

[Frustrated]

By the way, no offence.  But what a pre mature thread

over 350 is bit too much to chase anywhere..

Actually Aus are 40 runs short here.

Jinx thread ?

Respect, my foot! Sri Lanka, who couldn't even muster 50 runs against India in Asia Cup final, suddenly turns around and scores over 350 against Pakistan. And this mediocre Australia team that couldn't even reach 200 against India just throws up 367 today. How in the world does this terrible Pakistan team deserve any respect at all?

Pak is a wicket away from a collapse all the time.  Can't sustain the pressure.  Shafique tried to take down Stoinis off the first ball and got out. That was really poor.

What kind of shot was Rizwan playing, half tracker nothing ball from Zampa and got out.

Ifti, on the stumps LBW was on the cards.

Nawaz put pressure early on and was like 2 off8 or something.

 

Aussies created pressue with Zampa and Hazelwood and triggered the classic pak collapse.

Looking back..it looked very good but it seems..the opening batters should have scored 8-9 rpo even though for 12 overs..and not going on playing for 20 overs with 6.5..

with totals like this..that opening partnership looked good but it still left pressure on Middle order to score 7.5 rpo..for a long period of time..providing come back opportunities to Aussies..and resulting in wkts possibilites atany point of time..throughout the chase..

thats where Rohits' brisk innings are doing it for the Indians...even though he is not hitting 100..its working well..for team.

yes..but they scored so much on first wkt..that..even after such a poor batting in last 15 overs..they still end up with match winning target.

my comment on the other thread was 60% jinx and 40% respect :P

[Forever Indian]

@zubinpepsi Congrats on reaching Pakistan headlines . PCB and the coach are going to quote that your jinx thread was the reason they lost.

[Frustrated]

Aus tried their best to lose the game by scoring only 68 runs in last 10 overs.  Yet Poyzz lost by a huge margin of 63 runs. What a terrible team?  

[cricketfan28]

respect to TS for jinxing.

[coffee_rules]

When Chacha got out they needed 99 from 68 balls with 6 wikts in *.

They lost by 62 runs!
