Pakistan have won the last 16 games at the UAE - let’s hope they make it number 17! This will be a strong test and I’m sure they can win this

well, either you love it or hate it.

but

test cricket is the real stuff, the white ball game is fine as fast food but overnight marinated and cooked for 6 hours over a slow flame... there is a difference,

Pakistan won a famous test in Chennai in the 90s, a physically ill, back broken Sachin tried his best but the Pakistanis were all over him like a rash.. got out on 90? something.. or maybe a 100 +

Pak went on to win that one, took a victory lap and everyone in the audience really appreciated it.

Aus humiliated India to follow on at the Eden garden and then Laxman made 280, Dravid made a 150+ ? India won that game..

India then went on to win that series in Chennai with the famous Warne vs Tendulkar battle..

A babyface 18 year old Sachin vs McDermot and the much menacing Merv Hughes on a WACA greentop in the early 90s

a 16 year old Sachin who was literally crying in the bathroom after failing against wasim, waaqar, imran, aquib, qadir etc at their peak got his nose bloodied by a vicious bouncer, Miandad, as usual chipped in with some insults... "Call an ambulance"

Sachin got up and smashed them for a 50+

yeh beauty hai test cricket ki, such 'romantic' episodes

Sehwag in Multan, that Kamran Akmal - Razzaq partnership in Mohali?

In my opinion, this current lot of Indian cricketers will pretty much walk all over Pakistan in a test match series, spin or pace wicket..

This is your coping mechanism? There are tons of memorable moments in T20 as well. There is a difference between Test games and T20 but your own personal memories is not one of them.
BTW Pakistan has a better record against India in Tests and ODI so what makes you think they can walk over Pakistan in a test match? Isn't that what Indian pandits were saying before the WC for T20?

What Australia will unleash on Pakistan?

 

[rAli]

It would be great if they win but if its the other way then i won't hold anything against them.The have done us proud. Beating India and NewZealand was no small feat. Best of luck to them.

 

[Meengla]

I would say Pak-Aus as 60-40%. Slightly better odds for Pakistan, especially Fakhar Zaman is dropped! Hahaha!

 

[Areesh]

Australia England Final...Australia will lift the cup.

This pajeet is still in pain

 

[Asian.Century]

Babar Press Conference:

 

[Asian.Century]

Drop Fakhar Zaman & Hasan Ali, bring Haider Ali for Zaman and M. Wasim for Hasan Ali...which is unlikely for this worldcup.

 

[Dalit]

Just play without fear and pressure. Pakistan has a big advantage which will be fan support. We know the conditions. Whoever wins or loses from this point onwards is not the end of the world.

We didn't capitulate unlike some who announced that the cup belonged to them. They collectively ran away when touring Pak on the instructions of an enemy country. They didn't give us a chance at this WC. Yet, here we are in the semifinals when those that claim to be big are down and out.

This pajeet is still in pain

This pajeet thought Kiwis were going to win against Pakistan. This pajeet had also predicted that Pakistan wouldn't advance to semifinals.

My personal choice would be

a) Drop Hafeez , bring in Haider Ali @#4 Spot
b) Drop Hasan Ali (Bowler Out) bring in Wasim Junior (All Rounder)
c) Drop Fakhar bring in Shahnawaz Dhani


This Shahnawaz guy is good

Wasim Jnr ( 3 balls 3 wickets hatrick)

Wasim Jnr with bat (Good footwork and knows how to score fast)

Rizwan (Opener)
Babar (Opener)
Haider Ali (1 Down)
Wasim Junior (4th) (All Rounder/Fast)
Shoaib Malik (5th)
Asif Ali (6th)
Shadab Khan (7th) (Spin)
Imad Wasim (8th) (Spin)
Haris Rauf (9th) (Fast Bowler)
Shahnawaz Dhani 10th (Fast Bowler)
Shaheen Shah Afridi 11th (Fast Bowler)





Shaheen + Haris + Dhani + Wasim Jnr = Cracking Rude game for Australia they won't know what hit them

Australians would be coming to game with plan for Hasan Ali or Shaheen , however if we put 4 fast bowlers it would create bit of "uncertainty" for Australians as they may not have seen Dhani before

If they wanted to change in order then Babar should have tried the different players with Namibia or Scotland unless someone is injured. Sometimes change without reasons are not the best thing to do at this latter stage as team is quiet well gelled.
Let our boys put on a strong performance and keep away from the media lime light and focus on their own game plan. Play with your strengths and work on your weaknesses and stay focus and study the opponent players. All 5 previous wins counts for nothing at this stage and take each match on its own merit. We are proud of them what they have achieved and now its whittled down to 4 best teams. Aussies are like any other team and as we have heard so many times before, Pakistan team on her day can beat any one and am sure best days are ahead of them. Our boys are in semi finals for a reason and their to win and Aussies are beatable like other teams otherwise like India they should be asking for walk over too. Our nation prayers are with the green shirts. When things get tough, tough gets going and that's how you prove yourself and so far we have proven our self and lets take our next big step without fear.
