Usama mir's bowling today shows babar is a terrible captain. He should be in starting lineup.

Jr thinks he's Akhtar at The Gabba

Mir was unbelievably bad in the two games he played; Babar hasn't been the best of captains but Mir's poor performances are on him.

Mir was unbelievably bad in the two games

Agreed! He'll still be my pick over Nawaz on this wicket, when Abrar is unavailable

How is Pakistan 52% on the win predictor

In 2014, SA successfully chases down a total in a World Cup match (Final, U19) vs Pakistan.

Markram was the man leading SA at that time.

4 down. SA is losing this. Thier lower-middle order don't have much to go over the line.

We’re on 30% in the Cricinfo one

That doesn't prove anything. Maybe the first ball bounced more and had a steeper upward trajectory, whereas the second one kept low. Or maybe the first one was going more to the side. Or maybe the speeds were different, leading to different reactions off the bounce.

The only way to prove it, I think, is to make a spin bowling machine (a Merlin I think they are called) bowl the exact same ball multiple times on the exact same settings and trajectory. Then check Hawkeye and see if there is any difference in one or more of pitching, impact and wickets. If you try it with a real spin bowler, it won't work because no one can keep their speed, angle and line length exactly the same for multiple balls.

Shaheen has 6 overs left. He brings back Iftikhar.

Lmao, that wasn't nearly as serious as you made it look like - just pointing out the shoddiness of it, nothing more.

Still tho, thank you Say Jhah for keeping us alive in the tournament. _/\_
