We have pretty mediocre team & you are hyping it to moon.
I don't think Pakistan are the number 1 team, but it's also not outlandish to suggest they could win the World Cup. They have some good players in that side and it looks a lot more stable these days than I've seen in a while.

If I were to pick 4 semi-finalists, I reckon Pakistan would just about make it alongside India, Australia, and England. I think you guys are better than South Africa, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka in terms of your current setup.

The defeat yesterday was one of those instances when your bowling didn't fire and your team isn't setup to chase down massive scores like that one - you can chase games where there's a 270ish score, no problem. For me, the game yesterday was more about India making a statement than about Pakistan being particularly bad. India's batting is indeed the best in the world when it clicks like that and I doubt there are many teams that can stand up to the onslaught.

We're getting smashed as well today I reckon.

Good riddance KL Rahul got out there, or the Indian management will start building him up as the messiah of batting

NIce lil slipping in of the ol' Gambhir there.


Think you guys are chasing this in 25 overs with 9 wickets in hand.
I don't think it's Gambhiring if I say I'd take any win lol - I didn't expect us to chase a target as low at this obviously. Having said that, this still looks like a tough chase considering the conditions and the quality of your bowling. We're also 3 down inside 10 overs at the moment so not the best of starts so far.
