This is a weird Azhar innings
Because one or two games doesn't change the fact that Ab, Faf, Amla, De Kock exist. Sri Lanka/Pakistan aren't going to be walkovers but their strengths go up against our strength, and I back out strength over any bowling attack. Where as if a strong batting line up went second against us I'd back them in most cases unless we go 350+.Yeah as I said, England still far ahead as a side and their approach of smashing even when losing wickets would negate any inroads created by the seamers and Pakistan batting will never be able to mach up. Have to disagree about Amir in CT. As I said, its easy to forget how well he bowled against India given the lacklustre performance all around him.
Now 91Jmay, you had said you would rather face Pakistan/Sri Lanka over South Africa earlier in one of the threads. Why though? Just interested given South Africa's performance in ICC tournaments and both these sides have looked better than South Africa, regardless of who qualifies.
Yeah that is true.I would still want to face South Africa in a knockout because in a tournament..it isn't about who's the better side overall, it is about that 1 game.
Wouldn't worry until at least one of Azhar/Malik are gone, plenty of batting to come to be fair.WOW, Pakistan letting this slip, how predictable
now, are you worried?Wouldn't worry until at least one of Azhar/Malik are gone, plenty of batting to come to be fair.
