ICC Cricket World Cup - May/July 2019

Sarfraz has been awful, awful and more awful. If you bowled first (which i wouldn't have done) why so many overs of spin in the first 20?

Not sure if letting India chase in a game where the overs might be potentially reduced is the best plan mate...[DOUBLEPOST=1560693739][/DOUBLEPOST]

Poor from Kohli...... massive daylight there in the replays.

He looked livid later.

The good old middle order issues crop up again, and is it a coincidence that they’ve happened in a game where Rahul opened? Praying for Dhawan to return ASAP so that Rahul gets back in the middle order

Probably just par against Pakistan but short by 15-20 against team like England.

For the people who don't walk - Kohli's wicket today must be a massive shot in the arm. Can't believe why he walked. Also we had the DRS left (Shankar got a successful review the ball before the rain break)

I still think 336 is just a teeny tiny bit above par but above par scores have been chased. India should pray for no further play stoppages and bowl at their potential.

Maybe we came across a better bowling line-up ?

I have never seen Sarfraz making this many mistakes as a captain. It seems like somebody other than him is making the decisions. He used to be good at reading the match situations, but here on such a flat pitch he opted to bowl first with 2 genuine spinners in the side and no Asif Ali.
Similar to the match against Australia, Pakistan is poor in all the departments from decision making to bowling in the right areas and the chances are they will be poor in the batting as well.

To be honest Asif Ali is overrated, I don't rate him as a good player.
I am glad he is not in the team, i rather have Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim in the team.

I think Pakistan did well to keep India below 340, poor bowling from Hasan Ali which help india to that total. I am just happy to see Amir bowling good again.

Probably we can say that Pakistan wouldn't have won CT'17 if Bumrah hadn't bowled that no-ball to Fakhar Zaman ?

You can’t be seriously suggesting that the Australian bowling lineup is worse in comparison to this Pakistani lineup?

It is easier to get the Australian bowlers off their lines and lengths than Pakistan bowlers.

Amir has sure delivered a huge shut up call. Hasan needs to go in the next match, Asif needs to come in.

Regarding the Kohli dismissal both him and Dhoni were checking the handle of the bat as if there was any issue with because a loose handle can make a bit of cracking noise similar to fine edges but personally I feel as a Batsman you can feel whats an edge or whether there was another noise involved - so yeah overall that was very strange coming from Kohli who is so aware of whats going around him.

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Another instance that the WC is poorly planned

That Ranveer Singh is clown in everything apart from acting where he has earned his name and fame.

 

[NILAYSHAH60]

Good to see the Indian players not moving out of the field when it wasn't raining. Why unnecessary stop play when it isn't raining ?

Mickey Arthur was keen on Pakistan not going out there. Seems really stupid !!!![DOUBLEPOST=1560695556][/DOUBLEPOST]

Can I know what did he say ? I am watching on Star Sports 2 so I have no idea

Really like this move, would allow for a lot of batting depth when you’ve got the likes of Shadab at 9 rivalling even England.
