Re: Cricket match prediction discussions

It's not former players or Rambo's problem but the Pakistani cricket system.
It gets very ugly there, almost everyone (former player, commentators, sports anchor, PCB's Chief) shitposts and makes cringe statements when the thing gets tough or see any kind of success.
I can understand when former players etc make any ridiculous comments about the team or anyone for that matter but as a cricket board chief, you should have some grace as you're holding a top seat. You don't hear or see such kind of behavior from other cricket board presidents.

Can't agree with you here. Akmal and some of the other ex-players reportedly made personal attacks against Rameez. The team reached finals in the world cup, and rather than celebrating it they are showering verbal abuse on the administrators. If it was someone like Wasim Akram or Shoiab Akhtar, then I would have still listened. But Kamran Akmal? What he has so far achieved in his career so far? Test batting average of 30.79 and 26.09 in ODI. Rameez maybe a bit strict here, but people like Kamran understand this language only.

You should listen to what Rambo has to say about the previous chiefs when he was not in the system. He as an expert ripped everyone apart (including opposition teams, calling em names etc), when the PCB hosted teams like Zim, WI,SL, BAN. Likes of Najam Sethi, Ehsan Mani didn't send him any legal notice for that.

I know that Pakistan did reach the finals. But no one can deny that they got a bit lucky. Because first of all, they shouldnt have lost against Zimbabwe. Secondly, they got a chance when the Netherlands beat South Africa. Because that really shouldnt have happened. So everything was hanging on a chance for Pakistan. And Pakistan themselves had to rely on two or three of the players to do all the work. Whenever Babar Azam, Rizwan, or Shaheen Shah Afridi failed to perform, Pakistan was in a lot of trouble.

Pakistan has come out of all the hurdles before playing the final match maybe only because of luck. Loss to Zimbabwe and South Africa's loss to Ireland once again gave Pakistan a dream. Maybe they wouldn't have got this benefit if the luck wasn't good. But in the end luck did not work in their favor on the field of play. Rizwan out from the inside edge, why Babar Azam play the ball that way. Where top order batsman are the hope of Pakistan. Here is a lesson taught by whatever fate does. In the field you have to win by playing the best not only for luck.

Pakistan are quite lucky in this world it's right because the luck safe Pakistan during Netherlands vs southAfrica match but you can't ignore this truth that Pakistan won the consecutive 4 crutial matches to reach to the final , they beat strong team like SouthAfrica who beat India alredy and Pakistan also beat Netherlands who beat south Africa and the another strong team like Bangladesh who has equal point with Pakistan, Pak beat all of them,
So the main point is that without the strong performance only luck can't put Pakistan into final.

I am also kinda agree with you because Pakistan also gaves a good performance in the series they are not only depending on luck. But unfortunately Pakistan has the weakness of Batmens because I saw they are constantly depending on babar azam and rizwan for batting and when they can't perform well Pakistan lost that match. I they should immediately change the batting lineup Otherwise this will happen again and again with them.

Yeh absolutely right they must change the line of middle order in order to remove dependency from open pair Baber and Rizwan, in recent PAkistan Junior League we got some young talent like tayyab and basit Ali etc , if we give them chance in PSL for test and after that put them in our National team squad and some new talents through PSL franchises talent hunt trail then i think they can solve middle order problem. Because our youth talent has the ability to solve Pakistan middle order problem
