If Pakistan can at least get 220, they will feel they have a shot.

Might be an unpopular call, but I'd prefer to see Australia win. I couldn't see Pakistan beating India in a month of Sundays and I would rather potentially face Australia in a final than India. The weight of expectation on Australia at home in a final would be insane. I don't like the Aussies as much as the next person but I like India even less.

If Pakistan can score 10 runs per over for the last 10, they will still have a chance imo.

We owe the Aussie a few.

Whipping them in their home final will make up for a couple of decades of pain.

Looks like one is looming.

lol

 

[Lament]

No problem .

Why thank you

Edit:
10 night be a tall order, maybe 8 per over?

And it will cement our choker title if we loose.
Especially loosing in Aus where they just love to berate us.

If they outplay us in a final, why would that make us chokers? Surely if we get beaten by a better team on the day, that's not choking?

I agree, that doesn't mean we won't be labelled as chokers.
Especially in Australia.

If we are to be world champions, we need to be able to beat anyone.

Dammit, this I cannot disagree with and what a feeling it would be!!

Nonsense.

Would be better than the 438 game....

 

[Agent_Smith]

Starc vs Riaz shaping up nicely here!

 

[Lament]

Nonsense.

i think we have a better shot against Aus than india.
Would love a SA - Aus final.
Im not really that scared of NZ, dont know why...

 

[AthenianOwl]

40.2 Starc to Wahab Riaz, FOUR, that little white thing has gone to the wide long-on boundary. Wahab makes room, Starc follows him with a full ball, Riaz whips it without a back lift, clears midwicket
40.1 Starc to Wahab Riaz, no run, Wahab gets a touch on that little white thing, the low full toss, gets an edge to the keeper. On the bounce
Starc to Wahab again. "It's the little white thing..."

Classic

+1

First we will have to dispose of NZ, before we worry about who we will meet in the final. We cannot be complacent.

 

[Arthur]

Such in irritation that Ozzie commentators speak as if they're taking to an exclusively Australian audience - entirely from an Oz perspective. Just not cricket.

 

[Hectic]

Another wicket down.
