15 years and counting since Pakistan's last WC - will they ever win a WC again?

[maggot_brain]

Who cares?  Pakistan is a country in terminal decline.  The IMF had to tell them last year to collect taxes and use the revenue to alleviate poverty in the country.  The IMF!  Pakistan is a failed enterprise, the partition of Indian was clearly a huge mistake but it can't be undone now.  They've gone their own way and down the Jihadi path.  Let them get on with it,  as long as they don't send terrorists over the border.

And SL won 2014 on the back of Chuckmal junior Senanayke, if we're accusing Western neighbours then why not Southern neighbours as well?

Because the thread is about Pakistan?

 

Also, SL have managed to produce quality legal bowlers , including spinners, after the strict enforcement of chucking rules. 

 

They are struggling because of the decline in their batting standards .

 

PAK have struggled to produce a single decent LOI spinner since Ajmal.

They should have invested on Noman Chacha..  and one hand Takla Sajid for LOI cricket.

Only 2 decent test standard spinners they had recently and could have worked for ODIs.

 

Sufiyaan Mukeem the Chinaman spinner is injured right now.

Specialist off spinners don't work in LOIs anymore. 

 

Maybe an allrounder like Mubasir Khan might work.

ODI world cup is a distant dream for them but T20 is possible somewhat.

 

Immy the dimmy is going to remain the only guy to win them the OG world cup for decades to come.

Pak cricket will go the direction of their hockey. Truth is their cricket legacy is zero compared to their hockey legacy, so one can imagine where they will fall in cricket.

Their B team was playing in Asian games 2022. Could barely beat HongKong. Lost to Bangladesh, Afghans. Showed how badly they have regressed in terms of talent.

World Cups have tended to follow this cycle for Asian teams: 

 

Ind -> Pak -> SL

 

ODIs: Ind (1983) -> Pak (1992) -> SL (1996) -> Ind (2011)

 

T20s: Ind (2007) -> Pak (2009) -> SL (2014) -> Ind (2024)

 

So Pak is next if the cycle continues. In T20s, teams like AFG could disrupt this cycle.

Jeez man what is with you and these patterns?

2027 WC will be won by Aus, Ind or RSA, Eng may be a dark horse, NZ golden generation on the way out. In the future as well real world cup will always be contested among 3-4 teams, Ind and Aus will take 2 of those spots.

 

1992 fluke will be the last WC won by Pak. Same with Lanka.

If india get rid of oldies there is a good chance we can wc in SA. Pace attack will reach peak with the new young gen stepping up. Lot of kids taking up bowling given bumrahs impact.

That Mehran Mumtaz guy from emerging cup was on standby in case Pak had made to Super 8.

He is another Nawaz type player but a bit better batsman.

Yeah but I rate Arafat Minhas higher than Mehran.  This guy can actually spin the ball and can bat also.

 

Mehran is a bit of a lottery and I don't think his bowling is sustainable.

Minhas guy was seen in Asian Games... Looked okay tbh.

I like Sufiyaan muqeem & he is genuinely bright prospect for them. 

Indian emerging players were all at sea against him and weren't picking him.

Let's see how he comes back post injury.  

We need to find a left arm chinaman soon as well. I don't see India producing anyone these days too.

It also took us 13 years.. Let's be humble.

Naah that was back in the day.

 

Cricket is a way more professional sport now benefiting richer/professional setups and India have pulled away.

No it needs to be pointed out as well, I don't particularly like the Pak team but they haven't been that bad to India post 2k - Afretard or Chuckmal aside who probably had small d**** syndrome! The SL team for me is demonstrably worse in that period even when we helped hem so much with away tours & all, the likes of Sanga/Dilshan/Mahela(?) did that BS to Sehwag & yes SRT as well & yet they get a free pass because they're minnows now?
