Not just cricket.

 

I see a scenario 50-60 years in the future where Pak has made peace with India on India's terms and Pak men/women work blue collar jobs in North India.

 

That Pak-Ind border looking more and more like US-Mexico every year.

 

 

If we are lax with our borders, it's more likely to turn into Israel palestinian situation than US Mexico.

 

Mexicans are very hard workers who want a better future 

 

In Palestine there are families living for 75 years for generations after generations, who still call the place refugee camps. That's the same amount of time india had since independence.

 

Yet they never consider themselves citizens or settled. They always believe they are refugee. They connect more with countries like Iran than their neighbours and will always conspire to eliminate you. 

 

They have no desire to better themselves and are happy as long as Jews are killed or inconvenienced.

 

They are never happy with whatever concession Israel gives and will never be grateful. They are indoctrined into hatred from childhood.

 

 

Such mentality cannot ever assimilate normally anywhere and will bite the hands which feeds them.

They finished below Afghans in '23 ODI WC.

 

Knocked out by USA in T20 WC, couldn't even make it to super 8s. 

 

WTC last place finish most likely. Last cycle (2021-23) they finished 7th despite favorable fixtures, 6th in 2019-21 cycle. 

 

Garbage in all formats. 

Brother,  garbage is much better

Five or more Test hundreds in most calendar years
4 - Matthew Hayden (2001, 2002, 2003, 2005)
4 - Ricky Ponting (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006)
3 - Jacques Kallis (2004, 2007, 2010)
3 - Steven Smith (2014, 2015, 2017)
3 - Joe Root (2021, 2022, 2024)**

 

Joe Root in Test Cricket
2013 to 2020 - 17 hundreds
2021 to 2024 - 18* hundreds

Root will get out trying to play this silly reverse sweep

[Tillu]

Root benefited a lot from ECB scheduling a lot of series with minnow teams during his peak. Bazball also helped in them not preparing seaming pitches anymore. Now they are playing a lot on pitches with little help for the bowlers.

[Gollum]

Losing on this kind of pitch is the ultimate humiliation. For a home team, after posting 550 in 1st innings. Worse than blowout defeat. 

 

PCB has done everything it can to help Pak end its losing streak. I would back Zimbabwe to salvage a draw here.

Works the other way also bro.

 

English pitches in 2012-19 were incredibly tough for batters...those pitches were designed to maximize the returns of Broad-Anderson who took 1300+ test wickets between them. Similar with India and Ashwin-Jadeja. But I think in longer runs these things balance out.

Abysmal over rate. 

[Tillu]

919 runs for the loss of 13 wickets in this test till now. Don't have any trust in the ICC to sanction this pitch.

Any idea on how many of these #s in home/away matches?.Especially hayden, ponting and steve smith.

[Austin 3:!6]

England has slowed down a lot. Have they dropped the Bazball approach?

 

This is where Rohit Sharma's mindset in 2nd test against BD was so refreshing. He was looking for win from ball 1 where as Eng is playing for a draw.
