**The Official Cricket Thread** (serious)

[Desi_guy]

Pakistan should seriously consider bringing Shoaib malik and imran nazir back. they are wasting a young talent. they need to kick out that old ass shaoib akhtar and misbah ul haq, these 2 gog magog are ruining the cricket. bring back shoaib malik and imran nazir while they are young.

Shoaib malik for the unaware.

Nice. Think India are going to win it this year, tbh. I'm interested to see how much of a fight we put up against you when we play, I don't think we match up very well at all.

4 hours till game timeeeee

By don't fire, I assume you mean take no wickets. Could be troublesome, because of the fact that the way they bowl means they are quite expensive, but always a threat to take wickets, take away the latter, and the game can get out of hand very quickly. I think they have no choice but to be conservative with the spinners if that happens.

yes sir, thats what i meant..

and those who saying pak dont have talent this worldcup are wrong.. pak team isnt being ignored. Last match if uheard the commentary with manjrekar and couple other english commentators. u would know pak has a very explosive batting lineup untill razaq. i tinkt hey can bat untill the 8th spot.

Spin department, pak is probably the strongest, they got both leg spinner and off spinner.
Pak has a good pace attack with gul. akhtar is explosive hes still got some "oomph" guy is good in his first 3-4 overs.

Pak team has damage control batsmen in their lineup that can steady the ship.. ie, younis khan and misbah ul haq. Misbah is an exceptional talent,he can pace his runs easily depending on the pitch and score runs easily over 90% + strike rate even with just 1 4.


Don't undermine the talent and strengths of ur team, Pakistani supporters/brahs. Thats the last thing u wanna do. btw im indian supporter lol, who knows a thing or 2 about other cricket teams.

Colombo is one of the most difficult grounds in the world to chase a target down under lights with the pitch slowing right down later on. I think the success rate of the side batting first in a day/nighter is something like 80%+
If the team batting first scores 250+ there's a good chance it'll be a winning score especially with the quality of spin on both sides.

i would still hope pakistan gets to chase the target. pakistan got strong batting line up. they can chase the score as long as the openers dont go on the ****gy time like they did in the last match. ***got ass openers.

Okay brah, just cleared up confusion, very late here, and I've barely slept all week haha!

Only "underestimating" Pakistan because mentally I don't think they're in it, I don't rate their batting line-up quite as much as you, and I know it was a warm-up, but England recently handled them quite easily, and I don't really rate us as that good of an ODI side tbh.

pak's record in sri lanka and india is pretty good. they seem to do well in sub continent pitches.

Stop trolling. The current T20 Champions England comfortably beat Pakistan in a warm-up game for the World Cup on the 18th February...

This is true. I don't want it to sound like I'm hating on Pakistan, I just don't really rate them. I think today's game is a good test of where they are at, so will eat crow if Pakistan win.

you need to stop trolling, tonight you will get your answer when pakistan beats sri lanka. and no if you are really comparing pakistans performance based on that little warm up match than id say you really need to learn about cricket. or maybe cricket isnt for you. stop bragging about england, english team sucks man c'mon. pak will reach the quarter finals but england wont. wonna bet?

[Judge_Joe_Brown]

I personally like watching Pakistan play, because you never know what's gonna happen. They'll beat South Africa but lose to Bangladesh or some other weak nation lulz. I really wish Aamir hadn't been a dumbass, such a talent. Loved watching him bowl. I remember watching the Lords test where he reduced England to like 70/8 or something.

[Judge_Joe_Brown]

I'll post HD links come match time btw.

I can't tell if your serious or not.

Your telling someone to learn about cricket, when you didn't know who the t20 champions were or even when it was played, you denyed that pakistan played england in a warm up game. Which Pakistan comfortably lost.

Or the fact your basing Pakistans world cup credentials on the fact they beat NZL 3/2 in a series pak very nearly lost, Who got THRASHED by the Aussies last night. Possibly the worst Aussie side in 15 years. (which isn't saying they are a bad team really. Just that the past 15+ years they have had an amazing side capable of beating anybody, now.. not so much)

Personally i don't rate Pakistans batting or bowling line up. They have plenty of un-nurtured talent. The only advantage they have is its being played in the sub continent, There has been so much disharmony and they have such a broken lead up into the tournament i would be shocked if they made it to semis let alone the final.

I know I replied to him yet again, but still, I'll stop now, and I think it's probably for the best if everyone just ignores him now. But I will just say that my favourite part of his last post was me "bragging about the England team", when I'm fairly certain in my last post I said that I didn't think England were very good... Haha.

[taxe91]

for what reason

[Judge_Joe_Brown]

for what reason

He looks like a monkey. (srs). Either he's gonna do really good in this match, or do extremely bad. He's more of a T20 bowler IMO.
