Shinwari gave 2 runs in the 45th over and didn't get a chance after that
Basit Ali will implode if that happensI think we're gonna lose tomorrow.
Who's Basit Ali? And why does he matter right now?Basit Ali will implode if that happens
Oh yes, from now on I am joining you in defending his honor against @hasanejaz88You needed a six to be won over?
Was thinking the same, that was excellent over and the batters struggled to get him away.Shinwari gave 2 runs in the 45th over and didn't get a chance after that
Depends on the pitch. If it has as much rough as the other one from the last match, then Jadeja for Shankar, play at 7. Otherwise unchanged.Would you make any changes?
Dwayne Bravo does this for us in our regional T20 competition all the time. Bowls himself in the death when there are better bowlers available. It’s cost us more than a few matches over the years. I must be so accustomed to it that I don’t find a captain howling himself in the last over suspiciousI believed that for the first over he bowled, maybe he just wanted the glory. But then bringing himself back for the last over after that disaster with spinning options left, and then bowling full tosses and missing a run-out? Not having it. Deeply suspicious.
At best its the worst captaincy i've ever seen.
For Pak to qualify they will most likely play India in the semisIf the table stays this way it'll be Aus/Pak and Ind/NZ
Bangladesh vs Pakistan will decide top 4 I think.So let me get this right India could gift Pakistan a passage into the semis?
This WC has been interesting.
He's also a pretty handy bowler. His bowling average is actually quite close to Nabi.Was thinking the same, that was excellent over and the batters struggled to get him away.
The pitch has hundred percent changed. Regarding Shankar it's clear he's a decent batsman but he failed three times consecutively and two of them included West Indies and Afghanistan. Pant should play imo.Depends on the pitch. If it has as much rough as the other one from the last match, then Jadeja for Shankar, play at 7. Otherwise unchanged.
Everyone hates Shankar - and perhaps the world cup is not the right place to blood him - but I'd give him one more at least. I feel sorry for him for the pressure he is under - see Pietersen's tweet from earlier today..

Cricket is such a game. Inexperience and taking pressure can make you look like a real numpty.I'm struggling to give any more explanation for this kind of stuff.
To be fair that 6 won Pakistan the game, changed the momentum in right into Paks favour. He won Pak the game imo.You needed a six to be won over?
Bangladesh have a better NRR than Pakistan so as long as they don’t get thumped by India, could still make it by beating Pakistan.Bangladesh have to beat India and Pakistan. As much as I like their enthusiasm...I just can't see it.
Why? They have to still beat Pakistan for points and better head to head or run rate right?Bangladesh have to beat India and Pakistan. As much as I like their enthusiasm...I just can't see it.

But who would pay gulbadin to throw a match. Hes useless anyway.You could strike the first one down to inexperience, ego or the occasion getting the better of him.
But after getting smashed for 16 and needed to keep them under 6 off the final over, going again himself at the last is deeply suspicious.
I'm not talking about the lack of skill of the bowler. On a very slow pitch when you've a very handy spinner who has a 32 average in ODI and has two overs and has bowled well, then it's a very fishy decision.Cricket is such a game. Inexperience and taking pressure can make you look like a real numpty.
Fixed for you.To be fair that 6 won Pakistan the game, changed the momentum in right into Paks favour. Gulbadin won Pak the game imo.
Pant opening will be amazing tbh. He could get out quickly or take the match away in first overs but it's not going to happen.#4?
Rahul looked better at 4 honestly - I don't know if Pant can open.
I am assuming the people who think that believe that partway during the run chase(since nobody expected pakistan to struggle) somebody called him and paid him off, the mental gymnastics needed to believe that is mental and requires a certain level of intellect.But who would pay gulbadin to throw a match. Hes useless anyway.
Spinners can easily get slogged in the last over. If he was throwing the game wouldnt he bring himself on earlier, leak a bunch of runs and then bring on a spinner? This was there was a risk Afghanistan bowled Pakistan all out before he even got a chance.I'm not talking about the lack of skill of the bowler.

Probably. Worked out incredibly for you lot. Imad was looking clueless there.Spinners can easily get slogged in the last over.

Anyway it was just a bad decision.
Ex Pakistan cricketer, who suggests that India would lose their matches to ensure Pakistan don't qualify, and in fact tried to do the same against Afghanistan.Who's Basit Ali? And why does he matter right now?
Oh. That's nice.Ex Pakistan cricketer, who suggests that India would lose their matches to ensure Pakistan don't qualify, and in fact tried to do the same against Afghanistan.
Another reason I dont think it was fixed is becuase Afghanistan could have easily won if umpires were better. Imad also got very lucky.Probably. Worked out incredibly for you lot. Imad was looking clueless there.
That's kinda their fault for using the reviews early.Another reason I dont think it was fixed is becuase Afghanistan could have easily won if umpires were better. Imad also got very lucky.

Thought it was stupid to sit out Coulter Nile in favor of this guy, but he's done great.Behrendoff looks absolute class.
Na it was Rashid's over which sealed the deal.Fixed for you.
