GrandMasterSaxy Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I hope the same doesn't happen with SL once Sanga, Mahela and Dilshan retires. I sympathise with Pakistan's cricket but this is a rubbish side. No batting at all - and bowling is average. If Junaid Khan returns from injury and Amir has some bite left they could field a decent attack in a short while' date=' but the squad in Aus is crap.[/quote']
sweetaskandy Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 truthfully we also face that risk. the big 3/4 are on their last legs and who knows if the next set will perform?
FischerTal Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Thirimane finding good form. However other than thirimane/chandimal, I don't see any bright spot for Lanka batting
GrandMasterSaxy Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Only Thiramane to be frank (not sure how long he would retain his current form), Chandimal is gone. Thirimane finding good form. However other than thirimane/chandimal' date=' I don't see any bright spot for Lanka batting[/quote']
riya Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Jeez stop over rating and overestimating Pakis :hysterical:.Out of all the top 8 team they play the most retrograde ODI cricket. I am not overrating,just saying realistically.Before the WC,our bowling was considered as the worst,and then what,because of our bowling we won all our games so far.When Eng scored 300+,people thought SL will crumble,yet they chased it easily.Thats how cricket is.,what a team did in the recent past wouldn't work,they can focus,click at any time. Now,Pak.They lost to two test playing nations,by chasing.They looked out of sorts against ZM,naturally not recovered from the two huge losses,now with a huge win they are somewhat on the grove,i am just saying as it is. If names like Shahzad,Maqsood,Misbah,Umar Akmal don't sound glamourous enough,neithe do names like Yadav,Mohit,shammi etc.Whether they will be able to do the job on a particular day is nobody's business,their own.
GrandMasterSaxy Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Pakistan bowling is still crap - Ignore the last 2 matches against minnows. Their true skill would reflect on Saturday against SA.

Chalks Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Safrica match is in Auckland - same ground which produced that bonkers NZ-Aus game.
Shivaji bhonsle Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 They seems to have sorted out their bowling attack by including a extra fast bowler and resting yasir shah. , it seems to be a good move against the associate and sub continent teams, we have to wait and watch if this strategy will work against south Africa and Ireland. Ireland would prefer to play against their fast bowlers , rather than the spinners.
GrandMasterSaxy Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 If SA bats first, would score around 280-310 max. If Pakistan bat first, would be all out in <150. Safrica match is in Auckland - same ground which produced that bonkers NZ-Aus game.
Stuge Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 1992 ? Do we have rules like that of 1992 world cup ,where pak was lucky to get through semis and unjust was done to south Africa.This is not going to happen.
adi B Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 92 will repeat itself!! Cornered tigers are back,I think they 'll knock out aus in front of their home crowd
Autonomous Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Pakistan bowling is still crap - Ignore the last 2 matches against minnows. Their true skill would reflect on Saturday against SA. Lol.
Autonomous Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Haris Sohail must play in place of YK. Having said that Sarfraz and Wahab have excellent attitude. Very passionate and full of spirit.
Texy Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Haris Sohail must play in place of YK. Having said that Sarfraz and Wahab have excellent attitude. Very passionate and full of spirit. What! YK played well today..took an imp slip catch as well. GET rid of the deadwood Afridi or Drop Akmal, bring in Haris
Autonomous Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 What! YK played well today..took an imp slip catch as well. GET rid of the deadwood Afridi or Drop Akmal' date=' bring in Haris[/quote'] Haris Sohail is a must
riya Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Told u so many times,that if they bat first they will win..wow pigs fly whatever,so much arrogance and underestimating pak.
sweetaskandy Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 great win today. happy for them. they produced great spells. :two_thumbs_up:
cowboysfan Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 brilliant bowling,they should have started with 4 fast bowlers from the beginning.
