The Pakistan batting here is appalling

Post automatically merged: Feb 19, 2025

Run rate required was 6.2 now it over 9s

Bracewell bowling his lollipops for 7 overs for 22 runs lol and a wickets

Babar Kohli is in full flow for Pakistan. I fully back him to break Gavaskar's record of 36* in the next game.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Saim Ayyub and Fakhar Zaman would have been an absolute fire pair opening the batting.

Maybe for 2027 WC.

 

[cricfan123]

Rizwan should have batted at 4 and Fakhaar at 3

Depends upon who the Prime Minister is, a she, in turn will appoint the PCB Chief, who will appoint the captain and the coaches.

This is one of the baddest innings by Babar Azam in one day cricket history

 

[cricfan123]

Salman taking risks and Babar just plodding along

you're saying it wrong, the correct way to say this is "Babar Azam is a baddie". Be sure to use this next time

 

[cricfan123]

Never seen Williamson so Angry after that missed run out chance

 

[Aravind.]

190 in 20 overs, surely getable, common Babar.

 

[Aravind.]

Babar's innings went against Pakistan

 

[cricfan123]

If Babar batted at 90 strike rate it would have given Pakistan a better chance of winning match

PCB just showed who the bigger boss is! As I have been saying, no need to stoop to the level of BCCI.

Just watched the India Pakistan documentary on Netflix and wish what Mushraf or Vajpaye did despite the war of inviting and sending teams, someone else makes a decision.

I really wanted India playing in Pakistan and getting all the love the Ganguly’s and Dhoni’s got.

Virat been one of my all time favourite, and the best batsman from India. Its a bloody shame he never played a test in Pakistan.

Babar Azam thinks he is Babar Shazam! In reality he is merely a Baar Baar Aaram guy (continuous rest).

The innings was very Kohli-esque in eating up deliveries and seemed out of his comfort zone. However, one can't simply pin the blame on Babar here, as the rest of the batting failed around him. Pakistan will need to regroup quickly here.

Virat been one of my all time favourite, and the best batsman from India. Its a bloody shame he never played a test in Pakistan.

If you are talking of the pitches and bowling seen in 2000s, Virat would have been challenged. IMO, Pujara on Pakistan tracks would have been fun to watch.
