ICC Cricket World Cup - England 2019

Its just warm up match. Whenever Pakistan performed well in warmups we performed badly in the tournaments.
Few of our main players are coming after injuries and illness.

Then according to you there is no purpose in this game. Why play it then. Might as well stroll down to the local park and have a ice cream.
And according to you loosing a warm up match guarantees a win in the world cup. I mean there is a dearth of logic in Pakistan but even the loons would find such reasoning wacky

Afghans are not even breaking a sweat. Its truly is a walk in the park for them

Seems like this guy has been watching our boys train.

In the 98 WC which was based in the UK, the Pakistani team were based nearby in the group stages. Quite a few of the boys like to paint the town red every other night.

I think only amir and shadab is bowling well.all other bowlers are useless specially fast bowlers.wasim Akram is continuously talking to Mickey Arthur.looks like a very bad day for pakistan cricket team.it feels sad to see this type of performance.you can't win any game if you don't take early wickets.

Read your post again and then talk about dearth of logic and comprehension.

Its just a practice match. Give chance to those who are not performing to get back into form.

You seem rather desperate. I am sure you have seen Afghanistan playing against Bangladesh and India before. They have grown fast in the sport, which is why they beat many teams.

Either way, it is sad performance. But then again, it's a warmup match. And yes, the whole match is meant to be walk in the park.

Haven't you ever played any sport in your life where you had warmup trials?

You have warm ups BEFORE or even during the play of a full series with England . 5 ODI's . This match is the final before the big event. This match is where you have your final 11 honed and hungry to destroy the opposition and get to the winning ways.
This is the match where your confidence is at its height and your skills on full display
The time for the practices and warm ups is long gone. You think the England team is thinking about warm-ups at this stage ???
India needs the warmups as they have not played a game in England yet. But I doubt India cares much. They have a very tired team that has had its fill in the IPL

after losing consecutive 10 ODI matches just before the world cup and most likely will lose a practice game against a team like afghanistan i dont think pak has any chance in this world cup. today's performance of the team will have negative effect on the morale of the team. couldnt even beat a team like afghanistan. pak team is good only for psl. shaheen shah and husnain are too immature for a tournament like world cup.

Pakistan is inching forwards . There is a small chance they might JUST beat the Afghans.
Small chance but still a chance.
Squeaky bottom time. :undecided::undecided:

Pakistan have gotten used to defeats as if losing means nothing of any significance for them or any consequence.

This is a match after their 9th or 10th ODI that they have lost straight before this ongoing one and they are playing it as if losing to Afghanistan is all in a days work for Pakistan.

Even if Pakistan defeats Afghanistan today, the lack luster performance indicates deeper team selection and mis-management issues.

Pakistan's bowling attack has been left in tatters by constant chopping and changing when it used to be formidable as recent as Champions trophy.

The recent run of defeats started thanx to Inzimam and Mickey, who "rested" the main players for recent Australia series in UAE and made the worst capain in recent PSL, Shoaib Malik, as captain while "resting" Sarfaraz with others who were not too happy about it.

The other players who were supposedly rested as in Shadab, preferred to play domestic cricket, proving the forced "rest" was a stupid concoction between Inzimam and Micky Arthur.

So all the chopping and changing in the team in the name of resting has been detrimental as the team has forgotten its winning ways and gotten used to getting defeated.

Another aspect of the duo of Inzimam and Micky getting things wrong is not playing the most talented and century upon century scoring batsman for the last couple of years in nt only domestic but in A matches as well.

They took the prolific domestic performer batsman Abid Ali, who also scored centuries against a strong England A side, along to UAE but did not play him in any match untill the last ODI and that too because of Mother Nature as ImamulHaq got fever and couldn't play.

Abid Ali proved his capabilities and the obnoxious mis-management of coach and selectors by scoring a flawless and big Hundred on debue.

Again, during recent England series, Abid Ali was not included in playing eleven until the last match, in which he looked really good facing the best English bowling attack but was unfortunately given out LBW when the ball was going down leg but only grazing the legstump by a hair's width so the Umpirs wrong decision still was given out. Hard luck for Abid Ali but team management and Selectors got excuse to kick him out of the team on just one unproven performance and marginal dismissal.

Abid Ali has been kicked out of the worldcup squad when he should have been in the team instead of underperforming Haris Sohail or out of form Shoaib Malik.

The bowling attack has been reduced to nothing significant to write home about either. The management and selection has all but destroyed the lethal team wining combination. It looks a daunting task for the players to get back to their wining ways.

Lets see if our players get the better of their bosses off the field and make a miraculous turn around possible against the odds.

Pakistan will be defeated today.our bowling is pathetic.pcb is responsible for all this mess.they played with same players from the last two years.terrible fast bowlers.shahhen Afridi and husnain are terrible bowlers.i don't understand selection criteria.domestic players not preferred.players from psl are preferred.very sad day for pakistan cricket team.terrible team.i think after this defeat,Pakistan should expect victories only against westindies and Sri Lanka.pakistam will finish 7th or 8th in the table.

They came with a negative mindset because you could tell from junaid Khan's tweet when he said dont make me open my mouth what a bunch of selfish individuals
