[DOOSRA95]

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*]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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

[Saj]

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]

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]

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]

...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]

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]

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

[ehjaz]

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













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

[Re-Verse]

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

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]

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

[mindless slogging]

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]

...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]

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

[sali]

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

[mindless slogging]

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

[GLORY OF '92]

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

[*sallu*]

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

[Sledger]

... 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]

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]

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

[Garuda]

When Indian posters read more than post on PP.

[namak]

... 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]

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

[On_the_up]

Nathan Hauritz blitzes your attack to all parts.

[Luton Bad Boy]

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]

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

[Amjid Javed]

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

[Kray_jackson7]

When hauritz scores higher then your top 4 put together.

[Afridi_Fan]

When Ryan Harris Bowls like Glenn McGrath

[Sledger]

... Afridi is your most reliable batsman.

[Amjid Javed]

sadly thats so true at moment.

[Safar55]

When Hauritz can be considered a better all-rounder than Afridi...

[Kray_jackson7]

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

[Radiance Of Australis]

-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]

Really?

Wow.

[IMMY69]

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]

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

[TaZ]

I was going to write exactly the same thing !

[*syed59*]

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]

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

[Splinter]

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

[Amir]

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]

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

[sayf]

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

[Mohsin]

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

[PB]

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

[PB]

when your making a thread like this.

[On_the_up]

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

[On_the_up]

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

[Afridi_Fan]

You wish that Dashti can whip plump **** out of PCB.

[IM NOT YOU]

[Zaz]

[cornered paktiger]

....Jeera Blade stops updating the dropped catches thread.

It must have been taking up heaps of his time.

[pakcricketfan]

..when you start laughing at a dropped catch or a run out

[Afridi_Fan]

When people start to give references from the Holy Quran that how a player should be dealt in cricket.

[Safar55]

[Immy Ji]

When the captain thinks he taking a bite of a apple, but in reality it's a bleedin' cricket ball

[farhan1]

Its all happening and all going wrong! sad for everyone!

[iHammad]

When your best player in biting the ball in desperation to win!

[Rizie]

When Pakistan cant chase 128 in a T20 Game

[Afridi_Fan]

When we miss Afridi, The Batsman.

[pakcricketfan]

...when people start calling for Misbah to be back

[Sledger]

... losing feels like second nature.

... your chairman falls asleep in a postmortem meeting after a tour whitewash.

... people think Naved can bat.

[pakistani pride]

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

When you know that PAK is going to lose after just an over has been bowled !

DAMN I have to admit it WE CANT PLAY CRICKET !
