You Know Things are Bad When.....

**DOOSRA95** · 19th January 2010, 11:52

When will pakistan crickters relise the only out standing cricket team Australia you need to raise your game to 10000% or more .............

12 successive defeats and counting....................

Mrs Saj (who knows virtually nothing about cricket), asks you how many Pakistan lost by.

You are waiting for the next ridiculous dismissal from one of the batsmen.

You guess who will drop the next sitter when Pakistan are in the field.

Things are bad ladies and gentlemen, things are very bad.......do add your own scenarios in this thread.

You know things are bad when despite uber pleading & posturing there is no bid for afridi, tanvir or anyone from the current T20 champs in IPL.

***sallu*** · 19th January 2010, 14:25

when the captain is scared enough of the opposition that he keeps 8 fielders on the boundary on the verge of victory.

well said...

**Re-Verse** · 19th January 2010, 17:07

When you are relived that that your keeper has caught the ball!

When your openers play out 5 overs

When you are not suprised that your team has collapsed to 130 all out when chasing 170..

When Danish Kanaria gets 3 for 180 and Hauritz gets 3 for 30

When you wake up in the morning hoping to catch Pakistan chase down a total and Wrestling is on because Pakistan collapsed in half a session.

**Saj** · 19th January 2010, 20:23

when you watch a recording of "How the Twenty/20 Was Won" every day for the past week, just so you can see your team winning a game or two.

**Poison** · 19th January 2010, 20:27

You know things are bad when you sign into PP after a 2 month exodus and you see threads like 'I want Malik as captain'.

**Poison** · 19th January 2010, 20:29

But things aren't so bad. I mean Sydney was just depressing, I don't think anybody expected the team to be mentally tough enough to fight back after that game and win the last one. ODI's will be good

**sali** · 20th January 2010, 00:06

- there is a new thread asking for Shoib Malik to be the captain.

**Saj** · 24th January 2010, 10:48

You know things are bad when your wife says "they lost again, at least they made 100 runs".

She then asks when was the last time Pakistan won a match and my response was "I can't remember".

**Dr_Bassim** · 24th January 2010, 10:53

When you are 5 down without 50 runs on the board.... on a pitch that is doing nothing when you are bowling ...
But is a bowlers paradise when you are batting....

**so123** · 24th January 2010, 11:17

Whe Previously you were mad about watching Pakistan cricket staying up night after night not minding losses but now don't even get a glimpse of the match because you know it will be a loss.

**ahmed16** · 24th January 2010, 11:47

...when Afridi plays yet another ridiculous shot but is somehow the vice captain.

...when Umar Akmal fails.

...when a slip is taken out after an over of the new ball.

...when Gul sends down lollipops.

...when Maliks fielding was the only positive of the match.

...when the captain laughs with his team 80-7.

...When a non-speacilist opener carts the first 4 over for 40 runs.

...when a tailender scores more than 3 specialist batsmen together.

...when Pakistan lose like this.

**Kray_jackson7** · 24th January 2010, 12:02

When people expect afridi to pull out a miracle after he pulled it back for us while bowling and the rest of the team collapse but he has to stick in and be an hero

**Kray_jackson7** · 24th January 2010, 12:03

when your dad doesnt bother to watch the match even though he has been watching cricket non-stop for decades!

**ehjaz** · 24th January 2010, 14:35

Butt the circus show must go on................................................ ......

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Re-Verse** · 24th January 2010, 15:37

When you agree to go shopping with the wife instead of watching the cricket...

**Ryankhan** · 24th January 2010, 15:47

damn rite. feel like to beat this guy so bad that he comes to his senses. lost 3-0 and worst fielding i have ever seen n worst batting display by them, and still they think they did a great job. just pathetic

Bit unfair how you picked out Afridi not like he was going to save Pakistan from that stage he had to at least try everyone had an bad game and all shots were poor.

**junoonis** · 24th January 2010, 16:10

When you cannot get the opposition out in test and 2 ODI's..
Especially when your bowling consider to be "Strong"

**mindless slogging** · 24th January 2010, 16:23

When your fans forget and lose their senses at the slight hint of victory, and we become 'world-beaters'.

We are ****. But if we win one match, all will change and Butt will be vindicated as chairman.

When PCB are not being blamed but the players (even though they select the players).

**tdigi** · 24th January 2010, 16:33

...when MIG creates a satirical thread "The Australian tour is always a tough tour - lets cut these fellows some slack?"and some PPers don't get it!

**Dr_Bassim** · 24th January 2010, 16:36

When you know after the toss, the result of the match

**sali** · 24th January 2010, 16:36

When there are more posts in U19 thread than the ODIs with OZs.

**mindless slogging** · 24th January 2010, 16:41

When Mark Nicholas' eulogy of Faisal Iqbal is longer in minutes than his innings are in runs.

**GLORY OF '92** · 24th January 2010, 16:54

When your batsmen (term used with caution) are scared of the ball in Sydney.

***sallu*** · 24th January 2010, 16:55

When we don't win a match despite playing a month of non stop cricket

**Sledger** · 24th January 2010, 16:59

... Mohammad Yousuf is your leading catcher in an ODI.

... people think Rao will trouble Australia under lights.

... you're happy that Pakistan are wearing a similar colour to the opposition, it goes a way in not making it feel like a complete mis-match, on the field at least.

... Clint McKay takes 3 of your wickets for 15 runs.

**Dr_Bassim** · 24th January 2010, 17:08

Cmon you are doing him a bit of injustice.. i thought he was decent enough bowler.. not the 15 runs type lol.. but he is decent...

**talal12345** · 25th January 2010, 04:46

....when you're more excited about the next U-19 game than the senior team

**Garuda** · 25th January 2010, 05:45

When Indian posters read more than post on PP.

**namak** · 25th January 2010, 05:50

... when Hammad Azam is called up for the senior team for T20s.

It just goes to show how lowly the selected seniors for the t20 team are rated (and this is not in any way discrediting Hammad, I think he is great)

**Genghis** · 25th January 2010, 05:52

When you would rather watch and cheer the U19 team than the dissapointment which is the senior team!

**On_the_up** · 29th January 2010, 07:17

Nathan Hauritz blitzes your attack to all parts.

**Luton Bad Boy** · 29th January 2010, 07:24

You would rather read news about IPL rather than keep up to date with the match

You take an interest in other sports (barring cricket) and seeing another team losing does not feel that bad..

**Bobbins** · 29th January 2010, 07:28

When I couldn't give a toss about the senior team playing but am waiting in anticipation for the Under 19 final.

**Amjid Javed** · 29th January 2010, 07:48

...When for 20 years you have watched Pakistan cricket series with great intrest and then you show very little intrest at all...!

**Kray_jackson7** · 29th January 2010, 10:45

When hauritz scores higher then your top 4 put together.

**Afridi_Fan** · 29th January 2010, 10:46

When Ryan Harris Bowls like Glenn McGrath

**Sledger** · 29th January 2010, 10:48

... Afridi is your most reliable batsman.

If you are seriously thinking this then get off this site and dont return.

**Radiance Of Australis** · 29th January 2010, 11:46

-when you start thinking "Younis Khan was a better captain"
-when you dont watch the matches because you know Pakistan will lose
-You have your hopes on the Umar-Fawad and Afridi-Rana partnership before the first ball to the openers has not even been bowled
-You start thinking "hey,Farhat and Malik are not bad,bring them back"
-when PAK is down by 6 wickets and you hope that the bowlers will do an Aamir by getting half centuries.
-you dont even blink when your bowlers bowl well because you know the batsmen will fail.

**Afridi_Fan** · 29th January 2010, 11:53

Really?

Wow.

**IMMY69** · 29th January 2010, 11:55

1. when its bad, you stop watching the cricket and instead accompany your wife for grocery shopping!!!

2.when its really bad, you plan a shopping trip with your wife on a day pakistan are playing!

no...of course NOT!.....i was just waiting for the outcry....... although i would really start to think things were without hope if they had been no objection to this..

**Ali Raja** · 29th January 2010, 12:15

You know things are bad when Rana takes the new-ball, followed by none other than... The one and only Rao Iftikhar Anjum.

**TaZ** · 29th January 2010, 12:15

I was going to write exactly the same thing !

***syed59*** · 29th January 2010, 12:17

When you dont call your dish wala to ask him "why is this channel stuttering so bad, im watching an aus-pak match damn it".

Instead you open a laptop and start watching a poor quality stream and be satisfied with it.

AZ · 29th January 2010, 12:19

when your predictions of when and how a Pakistani batsman will be dismissed are correct each time you make one.

**Splinter** · 29th January 2010, 12:38

When the Aussie commentators stop being biased and start talking positively about the Pakistan team out of pity.

**Amir** · 29th January 2010, 12:43

When you make up in the morning, check CricInfo and completely forgot there was an ODI on last night.

Same here. I didn't know that there was a match last night. Checked cricinfo and found out this morning. I just went with the match will be on Friday (today) to get more people in. I probably haven't watched a single ball of last 10 days of Pakistan cricket and I paid for it. This is very un-Pakistani like

**Saj** · 29th January 2010, 17:36

When you have difficulty actually remembering when Pakistan last won a game of cricket.

**sayf** · 29th January 2010, 17:43

--- when you stay up til 11:30 pm to watch the game and shut it off, depressed at 11:35.

**Mohsin** · 29th January 2010, 17:49

When you wake up in the morning hear about the result and think to yourself, 'Pakistan were playing today?'

PB · 29th January 2010, 17:54

When you could careless for a Senior Pak side game, and are more pumped up for the UND 19 one.

PB · 29th January 2010, 17:59

Make up? the male vanity is certainly alive here on PP.

**On_the_up** · 29th January 2010, 18:30

When this thread gets bumped up during or after each match Pakistan plays.

**Afridi_Fan** · 2nd February 2010, 18:12

**pakistani pride** · 5th February 2010, 14:02

People ask for malik to become captain :-(
People want misbah back ( feel like throwing up :-(
