Why didn't they open with this Khushdil guy?

Cos he'd have got out immediately

 

[King Kane]

This Khushdil bloke can smoke them, helped by some ordinary bowling from our fast bowlers, we won't lose this game but it's hurting our net run rate.

Just looked at the card and Babar played like it was a test match, woeful scoring rate that is.

No in the PowerPlay a dasher can get away with stuff he's a leftie too

Yikes

One definite gap in the absence of Boult/Ferguson is someone who can land yorkers in at the death.

Just saw on CricInfo:

"Pakistan are 213 for 7. At the same stage of their innings, New Zealand were 215 for 4."

That surprises me. Guess it shows how great Phillips and Latham were at the death.

Also shows if Babar had support he might be at better than a run a ball 100+ right now.

Yeeeeeeep.

India will have to just win the toss just to reach semis as new Zealand is already confirmed

It also shows how poor the cricket commentators are, they made it seem like Pakistan were a million miles off it

Mate are you trolling?

Definitely - especially with the way Khushdil played as well.

 

[Srinath P]

No, if Babar had played proper cricket he would've had a run-a-ball hundred by now.

Playing 15 off the 30 odd overs bowled and saying others didn't score runs doesn't make sense

That Indian performance in the final takes the cake, 30 overs without a boundary or something ? In a tournament India dominated

To be fair to Babar, Fakhar was supposed to be the aggressor but his innings ended up stalling the chase instead (not for lack of trying I know). Dotting up at both ends is fatal.
