*Official* Match 17 - Canada v Pakistan

[Jono]

Pakistan why are you always like this?

Nutters.

 

[benchmark00]

180 will be enough imo.

Canada's batting just isn't up to it, whereas their bowling can be quite tricky.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Pretty sure Pakistan will win this easily given that there's a bit there for the bowlers. Very impressive stuff from Canada though, I definitely think the average standard of the minnow nations at this WC is better than at previous tournaments.

 

[Jono]

No Shoaib, just to remind everyone. Mistake resting him IMO.

 

[Himannv]

Collosal collapse here.

 

[_Ed_]

What a wonderful display from Canada. Hope they can back it up with the bat.

 

[vcs]

C'mon Canada, you can do this!!

 

[Xuhaib]

haha..wtf and we thought these guys are world cup contenders.

 

[Dhoni_fan]

Cheema must bat up the order he is they key here, if he gets in and lasts an hour then there is every chance now that Canada can win this game!

 

[vcs]

Would like to see one or two pitches like this in India also, a bit bored of all the roads.

 

[Jono]

Afridi is the key. He's almost unplayable lately.

Goodness, I forgot this match was happenning!

Looks interesting.

 

[Howe_zat]

As much as I love the idea of Canada chasing this down, all evidence says they'll get blasted out for less than 150. Still, certainly worth watching. Agree that Cheema should come up the order, they have to try something.

Oh, and if anyone feels like crying match-fixing: No. Not today. You can't have this one. Stay in the woodwork.

I think its unfair to Canada to start talking of match fixing, I said before this game I was hoping for a better showing I have lived there for a while and no some of the people behind cricket Canada, I know how hard they are working and are trying even at grass roots level!

They pushed England close in the warm up match! Chemma as you say should bat up the order he is they key I feel with Pakistan bowling they might still be favourites but a good start would give Canada a cance

This is what the ICC get for being ****s.

Yeah, agree. Still a very spirited display when you consider the margin of their loss to Zimbabwe. This target should really make them believe in their chances, TBH.

Unlike the last world cup where minnows didn't win anything eh?
