This potential confrontation with Iran might be a cover for the real attack on Pakistan to counter China's interest and growing influence by disturbing the region from the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea.... @MUFC Have a look

Junaid has always been neglected tbh, even so after his performance against India in 2012-13, overshadowed by Amir ? but this isn't something new its a cultural problem in the sub continent people tend to pull each other down whenever one is making progress out of jealousy and insecurities. Missed the last World Cup because of injury if he ends his career without a World Cup game than it will be truly a shame. Nothing has been made public about Malik's issue so can't say anything

Confirmed, Wahab Riaz also in for Junaid Khan gutted for Junaid though

US Embassy in Iraq attacked with rockets - No damage so far https://time.com/5591647/rocket-hits-iraq-us-embassy/

Think we could have won two matches in the series but it was a good warm up for the world cup. I hope the wickets aren't that flat in the WC otherwise it is going to be one boring tournament.

Yeah went outside for a minute came back 7-3

Love Pakis or hate Pakis but you can't ignore us

Its the same in most third world countries more so in some than others, elite class mostly are a bunch of self hating wannabe westerns who despise everything about their culture and country. The funny thing is they often themselves are treated like trash by White westerns but act like the same in their home countries as you said cold and arrogant

But in this case the boy saying look daddy there some Pakis hints racism like who would say that look daddy there are some geordies

We lack game awareness badly individualy and as a unit should have at least appealed to get the run out which wasnt given wrongly

Thank God some real game of Cricket for once in this series wickets, effort in chasing

Almost confirmed Amir will replace Faheem Ashraf in the WC squad (rightfully so) and Asif Ali will replace Abid

China to host Asian Cup 2023, would be much better host than 2004 after hosting the Olympics they are very good at these things and China has a very good record in attendance as a host

@Dr. Gonzo @nudge @6666 This is the mess the US has created in Afghanistan and Trump wants to get out but just like Vietnam it hurts their pride to accept it so they need to create another drama to end this one

But i gave the current background Afghanistan is US current Vietnam, They want to get out but they want it to look like a mutual peace agreement but the Afghan Taliban are not agreeing saying either US accepts it surrender or we will kick them out so that's why US needs a major conflict in the region to distract attention whether its in Middle East or South Asia https://www.voanews.com/a/afghan-taliban-chief-negotiator-says-us-on-verge-of-defeat/4915191.html

Also if this is how the World Cup is going to be mostly than it's going to be pretty boring and the rain of course The World Cup as a spectacle and ODI Cricket as an entity needs a good memorable tournament, otherwise these T20 leagues around the World will soon surpass international cricket and we'll see the Club-Country debate in cricket as well.

Fell 30 runs short and our fielding didn't helped either. But still this English batting is ridiculous almost all of their batsmen can hit big sixes and who can't like Root find fours for fun. Junaid Khan was good which is a good sign as Amir won't likely make the WC and we need a leader in our pace attack I love Hassan Ali he is an elite bowler despite his limitations, passionate you can see he puts in effort is confident, presents himself like a superstar while being a team player

THIS THIS THIS PEOPLE

A little insight about this Gulf conflict You people might know that America is about to leave Afghanistan after 17 years of war and had achieved nothing, but they don't want to look like as the losers and face the humiliation just like Vietnam so they want to start a new conflict in the region which intensifies and the whole world shifts its attention there while America sneaks out silently. The recent Pakistan-India clashes were also an attempt of this plan, but thankfully we diffused the situation so now they shifted to the Middle East.

This World Cup would be all about who has the best bowling attack, this is where i think India is ahead of England apart from Archer their bowling attack is well below par despite their sensational batting. That's why I'm not rating the Windies too much despite you guys thinking they are the dark horses. That for me is South Africa

Nah was pretty much expected England have chased down 350+ target more than any team i guess.

Mike Atherton is the best of the lot

Iran would be insane to provoke a war upon itself through these silly attacks. I suspect Israel provoking a war & framing Iran for it.

Yeah his job is to anchor the innings and he has been doing it from time to time but as you said he did this time far quicker than usual Haris Sohail was looking good too but got run out patheticly, showed no effort
