Doull just called Imam an 'explosive batsman'
Imam & Hope two of the biggest wasters in cricket

It's had a major impact on NZ and Pakistan for sure, I also don't think NRR should have been used to decide the placings with a Head to Head a much better way to decide it.For those who think NZ deserved to qualify and the rain didnt have an impact.
Exactly.Safrax said best there is no way you are making 400 on a pitch and bowling a team out for 50 on the same pitch.
Sanjay on the other hand says it best when he says nothing at all.Safrax said best there is no way you are making 400 on a pitch and bowling a team out for 50 on the same pitch.
Uganda women team disagree..Safrax said best there is no way you are making 400 on a pitch and bowling a team out for 50 on the same pitch.

Seems legit30 no balls and 28 wides
The guy still averages 45. One poor series and he's suddenly shite? It's like people have 1 month memory and don't remember he scored an amazing 138 against England in his previous series.Is there really no better opener than Fakhar in Pakistan?
Completely agree and the scary part is he can improve even more. I hope Pak selectors do not throw a fit if he has one or two poor series. He should be the fulcrum of Pakistan's batting. Imam is also decent and can be trusted going forward and same with Fakhar. They need to find a good replacement for Hafeez and Malik and their batting is set for the next WC.Babar is class. One of the best ODI batsman for sure.
Our top 3 is as good as it has been since maybe the days of Anwar-Sohail-Ijaz and the current 3 are much better combined (no opener can be better than Anwar). No need to change either in the near future.Completely agree and the scary part is he can improve even more. I hope Pak selectors do not throw a fit if he has one or two poor series.

That's the problem with guys like you. Watch feck all cricket and think just looking at stats from Cricinfo is okay.The guy still averages 45. One poor series and he's suddenly shite? It's like people have 1 month memory and don't remember he scored an amazing 138 against England in his previous series.
Guptill has had a much worse world cup, should New Zealand replace him?
It's just a flesh wound.Looks like Sarfaraz won't recover in time for the semi.
You can't have your top order composing of 2/3 of Babar Azam and Imam Ul Haq. It's just way too slow.Completely agree and the scary part is he can improve even more.

Babar Azam's SR is fine.You can't have your top order composing of 2/3 of Babar Azam and Imam Ul Haq. It's just way too slow.
I won't call them too slow. Babar has a strike rate of 85 plus and from what I have seen of him, he knows how to accelerate his innings. Yes they may not be your Jason ROy/Bairstow or even Sharma/Kohli but their top 3 is pretty decent and should be least of their concerns. The problem for them starts and ends in their middle order. Sarfaraz is just blocking one spot and doing nothing, Hafeez and Malik are spent force. Haris Sohail is ok but nothing special.You can't have your top order composing of 2/3 of Babar Azam and Imam Ul Haq. It's just way too slow.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangladeshi_New_ZealandersSo Pakistan are through if Bangladesh forfeit their innings at 0/0.
Not sure what you do in this situation to be fair besides make sure you win the game. Let's be honest the only way they would have got the result they needed today is if Bangladesh were taking a fall.I would be so livid if an England opener scored a run a ball hundred in such a situation
