The Cricket Thread - ICC Cricket World Cup England & Wales 2019

PTCL is more reliable and stable than this shitty farce of a team

Well WTH was the reason to drop Imad Wasim and pick Sami. Okay Sami, then why they hell wahab and irfan bowling faster on this dead pitch. Can't they see Amir?
What about the spinners? Can't they see how Indians well bowling shorter and troubling Paki batsmen?

 

[TheRaja]

Indian team has evolved... their fielding is top class.

[Em0s]

Afridi. He was the main culprit today IMO, choosing Sami and Wahab over Imad and Nawaz.

 

[mostwanted]

Fast bowling on a dead pitch. Perfect.
Btw where is yasir shah? I almost forgot about him, afridi and malik only 2 spinners in the team.

IMO it was not our batting fault its the pitch. we all saw how much the ball was spinning in whole Pakistan's innings. we also dont have good spinners like Ashwin or Jadeja. I really really hate Sami, Anwar and Sharjeel they don't even deserve a place in squad. I thought after Asia cup defeat vs Bangladesh Sami will not play any game now. Sharjeel cant play on offside i haven't seen him playing a cover drive or a cut through offside. Kick all 3 out.

Cant even laugh out loud much at the people who still go for Pakistan Cricket Team. Will repeat BAN PCB for life.

 

[hyder404]

The match was lost even before it started. playing 4 pacers on a rank turner slow pitch. Dumbass think tank. Even I with mediocre cricketing sense could tell they were committing blunder by playing four pacers on a kolkata pitch which was drenched with heavy rain but all we Pakistani awaam can do now is *sigh*.

 

[hyder404]

This whole scenario of playing 4 pacers can only makes sense in one way and that is if the match was fixed. This thought isn't far fetched as ICC couldn't have afforded an early Indian exit from the tournament resulting in millions lost in revenue, and who knows what this financially deprived, incompetent board such as PCB would have gained in return. This cricket nowadays isn't the same gentlemen game that it once was touted to be. Dirty money has made inroads in this once princely sport as well.

 

[Benighted]

Pakistani fans' denial is extraordinary. Our management and captains have been making stupid decisions for decades, but for some reason the match is always fixed ONLY when India - which has been a much better side for quite a while now, it must be remembered - thrashes Pakistan.

It will take Pakistan at least 10 years to reach the calibre of India's cricket. You lose simply because you are not good enough. That's all there is to it. It may be painful to face that, but it is what it is.

Been thrashing them in bilateral series since forever and suddenly when it comes to crunch WC games Pak loses, bound to ring some bells this.

No Sir everyone loves Afridi. He has been grossly misunderstood. In the beginning we thought he was a complete cricketer meant for all types of cricket. It took us 10 years to realize that he was actually fit for ODIs. Five years later we understood that he is really tailor made for T20s only. Now we know that he can actually be used as an example for young budding cricketers of how cricket should not be played.

In 1996 we thought he is a batsman who can bowl a bit. In 2006 we realized that in fact he is a bowler that can bat a bit. In 2013 we came to know that he is actually a "bit" that can neither bat nor bowl.

He is extremely talented. Among the batsmen of his caliber, he has the highest strike rate in one day internationals. Other batsmen of his caliber are Murli Dharan, Danish Kaneria, Dilip Joshi and Abdul Qadir.

He holds the world record of playing least number of balls for anyone who has played more than 350 ODIs. As a matter of fact he has played less number of balls than the ODIs he has played.

There is no better site than seeing a crowd going berserk as Shahid Afridi enters the ground with chants of Boom Boom resounding in every corner of the stadium. Most of the time exactly after one ball it is followed by camera shot of wide eyed, open mouthed fans, with their tongues hanging outside, resting both of their hands on their heads while Afridi returns to dressing room among hushed silence to finish his remaining cup of still warm tea. Our lovely crowd has repeated the above act hundreds of time and both Afridi and crowd have never disappointed each other in this act.

For a small patch (which lasted for around 15 years) Afridi struggled to find his batting form. But our people never gave up on him. We usually give new governments 100 days and democracy a couple of years before we lose patience but our love for Afridi is eternal. Most of us still believe that he is still learning and one day he'll silence all his critics.

Afridi is an enigma. Some people say that he is a spin bowler that bowls very fast. Others say that he is actually a fast bowler that bowls too slow.

But Pakistanis love him because just like our nation he is passionate, naive, bent on not learning from his mistakes and hitting in the air year after year hoping against hope that this time it won't be caught.

In a nutshell he is the worst thing that happened to Pakistan cricket. An average leg spinner with the batting abilities similar to that of tail enders. For anyone who thinks the opposite is nothing but an average rookie who sits in front of his tv with a bowl filled with popcorns wearing a green shirt once every 4 years in Ind vs Pak Wc match otherwise having zero knowledge of this beautiful sport.
