The only way Pakistan can beat this Indian team

[srh]

The only way Pakistan can beat this Indian team is by batting 2nd. Indian batting is too powerful and Pakistan bowling attack is currently one of the worst in their history. This is especially true on flat tracks.

Worst???

you guyz where saying its the best. Werent you guyz telling its one of the best in the world. But yes, the Pak bowlers bowled like club bowlers exc. ajmal and afridi is lost

[Sledger]

Bowl first and restrict India to under 300.

[castortroy]

No our batting would be able to chase 250 let alone 300.

[castortroy]

We can't chase 200 let alone 300 lol

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

the way to beat them is to not make stupid decisions like giving the WK gloves to U Akmal !

[PapaBear]

As long as Misbah is captain we cant even defend 200 with his defensive fielding, imagine no slips in powerplay for Ajmal and a catch goes begging

[DeadlyVenom]

Pakistan won! The Muslims of former East Pakistan massively supported Pakistan and booed the Indians and that is where the true defeat of the Indians was visible. Muslims of former East Pakistan hate India and love Pakistan. Despite all the attempts of the Hindus to create rift between two wings of Muslims, they remain our brothers and sisters. Congratulations. We won in Dhaka!

Our boys played well. Stay strong and be ready to fight them again. That is our spirit!

330 ... walk in a park ....

Thank you ... nice meeting you....!!!

[RRK92]

Why is it that a lot of people on this site do not seem to rate our bowling at all, but the experts and commentators seems to rank this bowling attack as one of the best in the world at present time?

[srh]

I must have said especially on the flat tracks.

[Muhammad Waleed]

To win against India, with this bowling line up, we need to set up 400+ target

[Fire Bird]

Bowl first and dont get :sachin out. Let him lay his "foundation" and wait until 35th over. He will be batting around 90 at that time. He will bat for his 100 and waste the PP. He will get 100 in the 44th over. By that time, everyone around him would have perished trying to hit. India will end up with a below par score and chase against trundlers under lights.

[Bewal Express]

I would fancy Ind to chase 400 against us in these conditions. If we bat 1st we cant defend whether its against England or Ind and if we bat 2nd we can chase anything over 220. Basically its not a good side!

[Savak]

A change in attitude will go a long way. How about being more fearless, looking for wickets when the Indians launch their onslaught on the bowling, not giving six free singles in the over, having men in the ring, having slips, looking to take wickets as oppossed to dreaming about defending the target via defensive tactics.

If the Indians were going to win then why not go down attacking? The lack of bowling skills from our fast bowling didn't help. First time it looked like Pakistan finding it tough to fill Akhtar's shoes.

The form Kohli is in, quite sure he can maneuver his way around most bowling attacks along with whatever field placement is being accompanied. He did it against SL, did it against us.

No surprises, a class act he is.

Although yes, our bowling was miserable but it shouldn't take away from Kohli's onslaught.

I have to agree with you that we lost due to Sachin on that last bangla game. However I beg to disagree that he will repeat that thing again. That 100th 100 was getting too much for him. He was really under some pressure to get it off the back. See the way he played today. It was free and fearless and helped india setup the chase

[proud_pakistani]

Tbh I am clueless, we keep talking about how bad Indian bowling is but there batsmen are good enough to win them games. This is 21st century cricket, unless our batsmen don't set themselves higher standards we will continuously struggle against India.

Yes I said it, we needed perhaps 350-360, but the way Afridi and Misbah batted in the end it seemed they were happy with where we were going. Unless Pakistan doesn't challenge itself more the way India does, and I mean in all departments we won't develop that never say die attitude. Also we need a captain who believes in the 11 that are out there, playing the extra bowler made it seem he has a lack of faith. And the field placements have shown the same.

[Justcrazy]

Kohli in form is just unstoppable.

Wooow!!!! :zaid
Hilarious stuff!!!! :asif

[Blitz]

I don't see a way out in ODI's against India.


1. Our batting isn't good enough to always take advantage of India's horrendous bowling.

2. We can't chase anything over 200.

3. Our main bowling strength is spin. Something the Indians play very well.

4. India can bloody chase anything.


You know how Pakistan for 2 decades, was untouchable by India? It seems the roles have been reversed.

They counter our strengths way too well. I'm not saying India is a better team per say in the context of ODI's, but they are certainly the better team in Ind/Pak ODI matches.

Our achilles heel if you will.

[Executioner]

I might be a bit biased as BDeshi but to be honest, what you guys need is a dependable all rounder like sakib al hasan

This guy plays like a hero when his team needs it and he is better than afridi because he tries to run on most of the balls he faces and when he needs to hit he can unleash his blade.

Or maybe you guyz could do with a kohli. cant remember the last time you guyz had a good NO. 3

[dhump]

with some shame and simple methods we could have won it how good was our bowling ??? totally crap just imagine wahab the line he was bowling and getting hit ball after ball so there is no drama in beating this Indian side blame Pakistani fielders and some bowlers.

[srh]

People seems to be forgetting how bad is Indian bowling attack. Pakistan batting can chase targets against them more likely than Pakistan bowling restricting Indian batting chase.

[Cricfan4eva]

^Well however bad our bowling is, Pakistan always find it tough chasing against us :yk :misbah. You guys laughed at our bowling attack in Mohali as well, what happened? 260 seemed like 300.

[adit_sh]

Play in IPL?

[Crazy_K]

If this is Pakistans worst. What about India's bowling? :(

[Asim_khan]

Take Wahab Riaz's 4 overs out of the equation and we would have won the match.

It was a horrible lazy effort in the field all round.

[Gattuso]

and who would bowl in his place ? - wasim ?

[Cracket]

Its actually getting boring. India won and none of my friends are even celebrating, infact we barely saw the match.

When was the last time Pak beat India in any form of the game?

Also I don't think our team is good. Flat tracks are our speciality but also given the way we have been playing since we toured England, I genuinely feel Pak is the better team. I think its the pressure that gets to them vs India matches.

[spaceshot]

Yea, as if there were bowlers right about in the every single other player who would have bowled maidens and wicket maidens.

[Gattuso]

think that would be the Kitply cup

After 30 over i thought i will witness Pakistan in T20 mode with 10 wickets in hand, what i saw next was just typical laxidasical batting apart from much maligned YK.

What can one say about the atrociousness about our bowling half volleys the better.

[Inzamamfan]

If India wil make use of Part time bowlers you would surly attack them. Pakistan need some variation, We are missing someone like Akthar.

[HashimAmlaFan]

Needs to improvement in fielding vastly.

Lolz really....

btw I am sorry ...who is Zaid Hamid ??

[shokz1408]

This is funny, and true. Pakistan's weak point is chasing yet that is the only way they will beat India. India will be confident chasing anything Pakistan puts up on the board :/. So our only chances of beating india are via chasing? Well ahem, it doesn't seem we'll beat india often then. Daymn. I always thought if we'd bat first we would win with our bowling line up. Now if we dont even have that in our favour, we don't really have much.

[Spiderguy252]

You guys need good batsmen. End of story.

Batsmen win you one-dayers.

Bowlers win you tests.

[velu]

lol..

india strength is chasing and pakista's weakness is chasing :D
if pak bats first we chase it , if pak bat second they will blow it :))

we are in a win win situation

lol... Who is this guy? Since you follow him in facebook , I am assuming he is one of your friends. He has very good sense of humor :)

[Savak]

Sorry to say but the Pakistani team is just to overawed with the batting talent India has shown since 2002. Indo Pak matches from 2003 till now will prove it. Previously we used to have fighters like Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Miandad, Akhtar, Afridi who would always believe in the possibility of a win even when India needs 10 runs to win with 7 wickets in hand.

Nowdays everytime the Indians attack us everyone from the bowlers, fielders, captain just shits himself, shoulders drop, fielders are placed on the boundry, singles are allowed every delivery and no one looks to take wickets.

Scared, cowardly characters and players with no mental toughness, passion should be kicked out. A fighting attitude cannot be taught.

I think the main thing is the poor attitude. It is one which is laid back. Generally of late Pakistan holds themselves back. There have only been a handful of matches where I have seen Pakistan being absolutely ruthless in their approach. Even against minnows Pakistani attitude is we will win the game so why shud we make an effort and I feel today the bowlers felt that cushion of 330 runs and got laid back. They really need to be challenging themselves more.

Cricket is simple- Score runs as many as possible and do everything to take wickets. And attack, u wont be criticised for being attacking, u will if u are defensive.

[Asim_khan]

Yea, as if there were bowlers right about in the every single other player who would have bowled maidens and wicket maidens.

Just look at the economy rate of each of the other bowlers in comparison to Wahab's, it's simple mathematics, he went at nearly twice as much as the others. We had 6 bowlers, you only need 5 to complete their allotted overs to complete 50 overs, think about it.

So as I said, had Wahab not bowled, I believe we would have won.

[zubair007]

If I had bought a lottery ticket, I would have won it!

[HashimAmlaFan]

And what about fielding?

[Zulqarnain_Mohammad]

There is no way at all....now Pakistan is not only scared of losing against India but also scared of playing against India

[Gattuso]

would like to see a Pak chase though... could be closer than you think considering the shambles that our bowling is...

[shades]

Frankly I do not see the Pakistani bowlers doing as badly they did yesterday. They will have learned from their mistakes and improve. Do not see our bowlers improving though :-(
All they have to do is bat as well as they did and they should comfortably be able to defeat us.
But can they bat as well once again is a different topic of debate altogether :-)

[Namak_Halaal]

The OP makes it sound as if India is unbeatable, they are not, they got beat by Bangladesh for heavens sake!

What we need is simply an aggressive captain (which we do not have) – that’s all.

Am sure India is beatable if you guys bat 2nd... if the situation was reversed yesterday am pretty sure pakistan might have won...our bowlers are just not good enough...

[shades]

Frankly I would be more than happy as an Indian fan if Pakistan decides to bowl first after the last match.
I just cannot visualize them chasing 300+ no matter how good the track. Its more about the pressure chasing being an India Pak match and suddenly our PK will start looking like Waqar at his best (as happened in Mohali)
But if India are chasing and lose a couple of wickets, Ajmal & co can stifle the batsmen and make them play loose shots. You cannot expect Kohli like innings everytime.

[srh]

timeless truth.

[IamIndian]

Akmal was not affected by pressure of loosing the match.. and played brilliantly.. If he can or any other pakistani batsmen do this on the real matches, they certainly can lift the trophy. Still I think Indian batsmen can really handle the pressure more... Like Kohli, Gambir, Shewag, Dhoni etc are cool customers in pressure situations.. If Pakistan can do that, why not this cup is yours.. Good luck to Pakistan..
