Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Babar has been a real disappointment, his average in Australia from 2019 tour was above 50 (Test and ODIs). Though we are playing T20s in Australia after 2010 that might be a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted November 5, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 5, 2022 Australia out of the World Cup then. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 South Africa out, choking as usual. Chance for us to go through. Big innings are due on Babar and Rizwan against Bangladesh otherwise let someone else open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted November 6, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 6, 2022 Shocked at that SA result. Even though they do choke, didn't expect it against Netherlands. Really poor show from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Speculations that South Africa may have threw the match. Bookings are clear beneficiary of today so who knows maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I'll miss the semifinal. I think it'll be us and England in the final. England has insane squad depth which we don't so England are the favourites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,825 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Babar's back Great knock, supported by Rizwan. It was only a matter of time. They are going to be very tough to stop Pakistan, peaking at the right time. They have absolutely dismantled New Zealand, arguably a big favourite to win it, with ease.

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted November 9, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 9, 2022 This reminds me of ICC Trophy in 2017. India vs Pakistan as one of the first games. India win. Pakistan recover commendably, reach the final, and then beat India in that game to win the tournament. Lightning striking twice perhaps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It will be a repeat of 92 WC in Australia under Imran Khan Pakistan do badly in the start, but reach the semis due to some outside factors Dismantle New Zealand in the semis like 92. Babar playing Inzi's knock Beat England in the final. Shaheen taking early wickets in the final like Akram. and then there will be an assassination attempt on Babar's life in 2052 like Imran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted November 9, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted November 9, 2022 Great game by Pakistan today. Albeit it got a bit wirey towards the end of the second innings, but the bowlers were superb today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted November 10, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 10, 2022 Congratulations to England. Obliterated by Buttler and Hales there. But credit to Buttler as he used his bowlers well in the first innings. 1992 - Pakistan vs England in a World Cup Final at the MCG. 2002 - Pakistan vs England in a World Cup Final at the MCG.

Lucas 3,825 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 You'll struggle to find a better batting reply than that in a game of that scale. It was perfect and to dispatch a side as quality as India with ease is only further testament to that. Particularly pleased for Hales too who wouldn't even be there had Bairstow not had that ludicrus injury. Fair play to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted November 10, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted November 10, 2022 Masterclass in batting today and we really didn't show up. It was always coming with the way we went about this tournament but you'd imagine we still had something in the tank considering it was a semi-finals. I think its going to be a cracking final now with a team coming into form and another that has some insane depth and is really in form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
