Match #19- India vs Pakistan (D)- Nassau County Cricket Stadium, New York- June 9th-- Group A

**** you Iftikhar Ahmed. I will physically assault you if I ever come across your stupid ****ing face. Rizwan is a brainless coward and at this point we should stop pretend our "#1" opening partnership is good for tough pitches.

Do PAK even produce batters? Imad Wasim/Shadab Khan should be your 7/8 not your 5/6.

Seriously, I know this pitch is tough to bat on, but come on....they are choking

It actually seemed to have eased out loads in the Pak innings

This is the performance of a team just not mentally out there

Bumrah going 3/14 vs 3/21 (which are still incredible figures) is the difference in the match. What a bowler.

 

[honestbharani]

More bad body language from the Pakistan players. Get the feeling it's not a happy team. As soon as they're under the cosh they all just seem to get mad and whine at eachother, and start blaming/pointing fingers. Weak.

Their board makes them so tbh. They are almost as comically inept these last 5 years as the Windies board since I started following cricket (from 1990).

 

[Arachnodouche]

The tempestuous body language under pressure has always been there, it is part of what gave them that cliche "mercurial" aura. The current lot however has lost any and all of the intimidation quotient that those teams carried.

 

[Burgey]

A predictably mediocre tussle between two very ordinary outfits

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Babar must be sacked as captain. Iftikhar's days are over. Pakistan needs two proper batsmen at 5/6 or one proper batsman and a batting all rounder at 6. Not no rounders like Shadab.

*checks scorecard*

lol

 

[duffer]

No way. No ****ing way….

They could have easily played them at 7/8. Below should have been the ideal XI they should have gone with.

Saim Ayub
Rizwan
Babar
Fakhar
Usman
Iftikhar
Imad
Shadab
Shaheen
Naseem
Rauf/Amir

How do you not chase down 120 despite still having wickets in hand?

We do produce batsmen but still play Dube and Pandya as 5 and 6 who scored 10 (21) combined.

Drop Dube and Jadeja in next match for Jaiswal and Kuldeep. Get Kohli out of opening position ASAP. Possibly drop Axar for Samson too but they won't go so far.

This Pakistan team has, like, negative game sense. How they screwed that up is truly beyond me, even accounting for Bumrah.
