any other players BUT not these 3 idiots

Fakhae is the X factor

[nads_rocks]

Where did we lose this game? Simple
Afridi over Shadab! Thats where the game was lost firstly.

Secondly, Fakhar I don't know why this guy is escaping criticism, he has not been a match winner for awhile now and since his knock in the champions trophy which made him a hero (remember he was dropped) he hasn't turned up for pakistan, I don't count his silly runs in the warm up or his 40s and 50s. He should take responsibility as an opener otherwise drop him and let Babar open.

Imam - So much over confidence but slow 50 and then out
Malik - Rubbish in England end of, drop him for Imad.
Shadab is a must in every game he should never be dropped!

Lastly - Why do our players always want to go for those skiers on every ball, its stupid and its not required and its very irresponsible.

That review of Wahabs wicket what a crucial blow with the faintest of edges but when the ball is hitting stumps in Pakistan bowling ITS UMPIRES CALL!!
Stupid review system, where is the benifit of the doubt.
Hassan Ali is more a batsman than Asif Ali is but Hassan is getting too carried away trying to hit everything for 6.

Only positive I can take away from this game is Mo Amir, who was bowling on a completely different pitch and level than our other bowlers.

This loss more or less has ended any hopes for Pakistan in this world cup. We are not beating India especially knowing the mental block in world cups and also being a MUST WIN!

We barely scraped it against England so this has been a poor world cup by our standard.

lets just accept that Asif ali had a bad day; why should we bring his personal tragedy into it.

[jnaveen1980]

Major escape for OZ with just 4 frontline bowlers

[PakLFC]

Another totally diabolical performance means we are on the verge of elimination. Should have easily got the require runs had it not been some ridiculous batting from Fakhar, Imam and Hafeez in particular throwing their wickets away. I am no fan of Imad but even he is better then Asif, why is he even in the team? The final nail in the coffin came with Sarfaraz taking a single giving Shaheen an entire over to face. Inept planning, a Pak Passion team put together from this site could do no worse then these clowns.

No one bringing his personal tragedy in to it but if your mother mentally fit to play your best to sit out this is a world cup your supporters want u to show fight unfortunately for him he had disaster today personally think he single handley cost us the game

Fakhae is the X factor

What's the expiry date on Fakhar's CT Final innings?

[SportsWarrior]

Indians can be. They have a right to laugh.

Bengalis? What have I missed? Won nothing last time I checked.

No one has right to laugh today. It was a good match and not an abject surrender. Pak can beat India if they believe in themselves especially if they chase

[AZulfi]

For the game against India I would replace Asif (useless batting and catching) with Imad Wasim

And bring back Shadab in place of Shaheen Afridi. It was a stupid decision not to play Shadab today. Leg spinner is always an attacking option

Indians play spin well however

I think Pakistan will struggle to beat both India and NZ.

Even if they beat South Africa, Bangladesh and Afghanistan that won’t be enough to qualify for the semis

[Mueez]

What's the expiry date on Fakhar's CT Final innings?

Fakhar just scored 130 odd against England.

I don’t blame him today for his dismissal, shot was on.

Just got unlucky with the fielder.

Indians got way to arrogant before the CT final as well. India are favourites to win but one should never be over-confident.

[Ami]

5 out of 5 to be sure...unlikely
4 out 5...outside chance

[DuckMaster]

Good game. Tough luck, Pakistan. Congrats Australia.

With due respect to Pak selectors and team management, I fail to understand the role of Asif Ali in their XI. He doesn't bowl. He can't bat in situations that demand building the innings with rotation of strike, hard running, and waiting for the bad balls to hit. I'm sorry but if his role is only to hit out irrespective of match situation and conditions, he's not going to be useful in most matches. His fielding is not par either.

[Mainul]

Guys BD tigers is another troll posing to be Bangladeshi.

I said it lot earlier

[Mainul]

BD will easily beat this weak Aussie team

Mazak kar rahe ho

[Robert]

Dammit. Really wanted Pakistan to win this one.

[Pete Rose]

My silver lining for this game is that we lost it without Australia’s help

[GrandMaster]

For the game against India I would replace Asif (useless batting and catching) with Imad Wasim

And bring back Shadab in place of Shaheen Afridi. It was a stupid decision not to play Shadab today. Leg spinner is always an attacking option

I think Pakistan will struggle to beat both India and NZ.

Even if they beat South Africa, Bangladesh and Afghanistan that won’t be enough to qualify for the semis

Seriously? I see Pakistan losing at tleast 2 out of those 3 matches.

Shoaib Malik is a fraud of a batsman always has been....needs a series vs North Korea to look good and get in form

[barah_admi]

That's what captain should be telling Wahab but I don't think he's got that much direction

It was remarkable to me that saffy specialist kaptaan did not go out there and speak t oriaz once...he just had to guide the tailender...terrible stuff

[Usergame]

Great match to watch as a Neutral. Both teams with enough chances to win but feel pakistan blew a golden opportunity after being 120/2.


The bowling fightback from both teams was outstanding.

[Shaddy86]

It was a good match to watch, Pakistan should have won it once they had pulled the Aussies back to 307 and also at the 25 over mark they were well on their way to win it. Regardless of the result. It was a great match to watch at the staidum, the atmosphere was great, Starc got a lot of banter from our stand and he gave some back. Was shocked with the lack of support for the Aussies. Pakistan lost this match due to their mental block against Ausssies. it's like a slave-master mentality, they'll always feel inferior to the Aussies, unlike India who confidently feel Superior against any team they face.

[Napa]

Gotta give Pakistan marks for spirit. I would bet India would've folded to 190 if they were 160/6.

I was thinking the same.

160/6 and we are done.

Unless Jadeja is in the team

Warner gave his MOTM trophy to a young aussie supporter.

[PakWC'11Champs]

We are the most unpredictable and change of momentum team in entire cricket world.
Just this game, we turned it around both ways multiple times.

Overall I saw progress. We've begun to play better. We're bowling really well, at least Amir is, and so was Shadab, and he needs to be back. Wahab is solid. We need his pace.

The India game is a must win. I can not see us qualify for the SF's if we lose that game as well.

[Ramsay]

Dropping Shadab for Shaheen was a blunder. It is always good to have a leggie in your team.

[Billa86]

I sometimes genuinely feel for our hardcore Pakistan team supporters who spend their hard earned money to watch this poor team performance.

[ARK Rafay]

and if they were to drop the game against India, would they still be in with a chance?

like 5%

[Snowflake]

Still can't get over this loss. This game was in hour hands!

Man, so disappointed!

[Kianig89]

yes still cant get over this pathetic performance #karius
