Tbf Saim was only meant to be there for an over or so. Still so damn easy...there are like 4 easy dropped catches in the slips throughout the series which have probably cost 200 runs (a stat worth looking up). Pakistan have been so competitive in the series while being hindered by their own...

There are no problems with India cricket!!

So you concede you got caught up in your own jingoism and thought I said something I didn't? It can happen, it's always less embarrassing to own a mistake than to act like it didn't happen.

I don't like going down this route but in that replay it's clearly not Rizwan for the 2nd no ball check :laughter:

You're just making a mockery of yourself :crylaugh: BUT since English if your first language, let's hold you accountable. So you replied with: "Ah yes, test cricket is dying because India refuses to play Pakistan." Now please quote where I said that.

The forum would celebrate both you and Shami going to sleep tbf! In terms of the game...what is happening?? I really need to watch those wickets. Demon pitch maybe...

I asked for a reason...because you failed to understand what I had written quite plainly which I assumed was a result of a lack of English comprehension on your part. If that is not the case, then it seems you're just trying to be funny. Trying being the key word.

No it's not that easy. You may have forgotten BCCI a few years ago made similar threats about ICC events but backed off when no one listened. 1704289336 I was going to make fun of you BUT I'll respond in a better way and take the higher ground. I mentioned a couple of reasons for test...

I disagree that test cricket will end soon as you put it a couple of posts earlier but it is already at the stage where many of us real cricket fans feared 20 years ago...almost irrelevant outside of England and Australia, and a cuple of India series (namely against Aus and Eng). What I mean...

Virat's alpha maleness turned out to be quite fake didnt it? I watched him play as captain but Dhoni clearly still dominated...then I saw him bow down and lose out to Rohit. And while Kohli had this aggressive persona, he captained very defensively.

I cant watch due to work but 55 all out is a horror show of incompetency unless its a 90s West Indies wicket lol I'll have to watch the highlights to see how those wickets fell.

I hope common sense prevails and the world t20 is moved. I say that very seriously, India was horrendous and will only get worse. 1704280551 Not sure why it would be news to anyone that India of the 2000s was better than the Indian test teams that have followed, or even the teams that...

Sure, I don't agree others played well also. Like I said there's conversations to be had for Cummins sweeping a lot of awards but like I also said, if someone is in the conversation then he is worthy. For me, 3 wickets back to back is what did it, in the biggest moments. Who would be your ODI...

What a day of test cricket...from 39-3 to 300+ is a huge achievement for a beleaguered and inexperienced Pakistan side. Cummins was not only great with the ball but also astute once more with his captaincy...the obvious hole being his inability to deal with Jamal but it was just his day. All...

India 2011 was actually an OK tournament and a step up from the disasters of 03 and 07. In 2023 it was a horrendous propaganda tool for the Modi regime, what did you expect would happen?

Cummins bowled tighter, Starc took more wickets in the final. Like I said, Cummins is in the conversation for a lot of these awards. Similar story in the semis, Hazlewood was more economical but Starc had more wickets and looked the bigger threat. Starc is in the conversation for both games.

Nai ts silly and its typical PCB trying to make changes to say "see, we are trying different things". There's no planning here what-so-ever and it is a useless, defeatist mind set. The Aussies would be looking to win the last match in a series regardless of previous results, Pakistan must...

Is that really the XI? Why not play Wasim Jr? Even more important if Shaheen needs time off. 3 medium pacers, two of whom have very little experience of exposure on the international stage, one b level ish spinner and a part time spinner. Who came up with this attack? I also don't see the...

There's a lot of limited overs cricket there and England clearly did not care about it like they did from 2015-2019. In tests, England are sitting on a gold mine. They have some very good cricketers, a mix of experience, youth and excitement and are clearly the best team to watch. England in...

So folks, whats the mood for 2024? There is yet another world t20 on the horizon and Pakistan have done very well in the last two editions but with so many changes, do you think the team will be ready and in a good place? What about the test arena?
