Use some Burnol after seeing the Pandya video.

If you go through my previous post you can see I was the one being optimistic about Pakistan winning against England unlike people from your country calling it a warm-up.

It's funny as only 1-2 guys here said we shouldn't rule Bangladesh out and you call that as us being scared of them.

About today's match, pretty confident of us winning.

Hahaha, Even burnol isn't enough to make you cool. Its funny, how simple objective comments make you offended like this. Thanks for your optimism Man, You didn't do the entire survey of the country to make a judgement that we called it a warm-up. Get over it now.

Bangladesh really putting up a fight here. Their intent is to attack. Its gonna be a cracker seems like

Agree about his bowling but the video is of those three sixes.

A genuine bowler who can take wickets is a lot more valuable than someone who can just give you 20 runs lower down. A better pace attack ensures you chase fewer runs. Bangladesh on track for 320-odd here. I`m kind of wishing for us to lose here. I can`t stand the fact that the team thinktank cannot see the futility of this Pandya experiment.

If Bangladesh can get more than 270 here, we will lose. To Pakistan fans, just like tou kept picking Wahab Riaz over Junaid, we pick Pandya over Shami and Umesh. We are more alike than you think.
And all this when you thought it would be a no-brainer to pick one more seamer against Bangaldesh, especially the way they struggled against Bhuvi and Umesh in the warmup game. If you select sides that reek of defensive tactics, you deserve to lose big games.

Bangaldesh, on the other hand have looked like they belong here and are not afraid of losing. We are playing with the fear of losing. All the aggressive talk is of no use if you do not pick sides with an attacking approach. Modern ODI cricket does not allow you any scope for players who have to be hidden. Its a game of specialists now, more than ever. All the utility cricketers might be alright for T20s but not ODIs. You cannot afford to have a weak 5th bowler now. Such an option can easily get taken for 100 runs which will be the game then and there. No matter how tempting your big-hitting might be down the order, its not worth chasing those 40 extra runs.

Wahab was still a genuine bowler so one can understand but India with an arsenal of such potent young seamers still use them defensively. Its easier for India to pick atleast 5 genuine bowlers and still have a very strong batting line.

Never agreed on playing Pandya ahead of Yadav/Shaming except for the match against RSA. Bad selection but I'll say it again that since we are chasing we should be winning this, won't be easy though.

India is better in everything. What needs to be argued here? Lol, get some sleep.

Chasing 300+ in a big semi-final makes the side defending as big favorites, especially with the slow starts we have these days. I still maintain that SA lost the last game more than us winning it. Those runouts made a defensive bowling lineup look threatening.

I only posted the Pandya video just because you started 'Six vs Ashwin' etc etc. I'm way cooler than you'll ever be after thrashing someone in the first match. As I said I don't want to waste my time and words here plus this is going off-topic so leave me alone.

I`m off for today. This is mind-numbingly defensive cricket which I`ve given up on. For a side which was arguably spoilt for choices and were bragging about bowling riches, we have persisted with bowlers who looked least penetrative in the lead up to the event. Only India, could do that. Pick the least penetrative attack and discard the bowlers who looked most likely to take wickets.

What's the point of using Hardik, if you're going to use Yadav and Yuvi aswell?

Yes. Go away. We got wicket ! If you go away, we will get wicket
JK. Don't take seriously.

Lol Kedar Jadhav! Gee he picks up crucial wickets got williamson out couple of times in the NZ series last year.

Good point there, they would've gone past 300 easily in that match against us and the same issue costed us the match against Lanka. Same struggle still goes on now, except Bhuvi nobody is reliable when it comes to taking wickets. Ashwin/Jadeja do shine at times but Bangladesh is pretty good against spin so I also don't get the reason of playing both of them plus Pandya.
