Asia cup 2022

Shame on Jadeja for not sealing the game in that over.

I believe @smash84 @trundler and @Xuhaib owe me an apology about Naseem.

Also, the proudest I have felt to have been a Naseem fan. Kid pushing through the pain here through pure heart is well, heartwarming.

No I always been a supporter but will back my stance he was picked couple of seasons too soon.

Jeez this game isn’t worth risking one of your brightest prospect’s legs for Pakistan ffs

It's just cramp he'll be fine in an hour

 

[subshakerz]

These teams are way too buddy-buddy with each other. Takes away the edge.

 

[cnerd123]

Such a classic Pakistan performance today. From the top order failures to the fast bowlers slogging sixes, amazing new ball bowling, wides, misfields, cramps and slow overrate.

 

[Xuhaib]

Rauf getting smacked always cheers me up not the most likeable guy

 

[cnerd123]

Pandya POTM if India win this.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Pandya has some insane snap in those short arm pulls. Very Symonds-like.

 

[Dissector]

Wow. Has there been an Indian batsman since Dhoni with that kind of power?

 

[Arachnodouche]

Pandya POTM if India win this.

Test return to much to hope for?

I dont mind the free hit approach by Jaddu there. 7 off 5 is still not bad odds and DK is in the hut but execution was shockingly lacking there. If the ball is not there, you nudge it, surely, instead of trying to tonk a yorker.

 

[subshakerz]

These misfields and no-balls are so ridiculously stupid for this level of professional cricket. Pakistan gave around 10 runs and as usual are equally to blame for their tight spot.

 

[Xuhaib]

Good game well done Pandaya what a star.

HARDIK PANDYA. REMEMBER THE NAME.

It's OK I enjoyed the bowling effort apart from Rauf who asusual bottled a tight situation.

 

[subshakerz]

Congrats India.

I actually thought Pakistan bowled better but their fielding let them down massively and India just batted calmer.

 

[Dissector]

Peak-Dhoni finish by Hardik. The most exciting India-Pakistan game in many years.

 

[Xuhaib]

Pandaya was the difference played like a superstar he is.

Naseem was fire throughout bowler of the game IMO

 

[Arachnodouche]

Well done, Pandya. I think he's just about up there with Stokes as the premier all-rounder in cricket today. It would be something to see him back in the Test setup.

I hope India realizes the folly of carrying all of Chahal Avesh Arshdeep and Bhuvi is not gonna help. I would definitely get in either Shardul or D Chahar somehow for Avesh. Its not just that they cant bat, each of them is an absolute liability on the field too. And we definitely took it easy after 128/9 and it almost bit us in the ass there. Hopefully they learn from these.

Pak have been really good but I also think they are extremely one dimensional. I almost feel not playing bilaterals against India is helping them, coz the Indians are just not that used to these bowlers while other sides probably are and we seem to struggle against them as almost everytime we face them as they are all a bit unorthodox in their own ways and while they are playable once you are used to them, its still hard when you play them like once in 2 years. I feel in all the micro and psycho analysis that goes on about India's performances against Pak in the last 8 years or so, this is one thing that will be forgotten. But to me, it is the one clear reason we struggle against this attack.
