Today match between India vs West Indies seeing like one side match from very beginning because of west Indies team did not given any fight to India team i hope India team going to win the match very easily.

Is it surprising? The quality of teams such as Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and West Indies have gone down the drain. The players play only for money and they don't have any interest in winning the matches.

Now as we have many new leagues in 20/twenty we lost real cricket because most of players doing all only for money and they are not doing any thing for good cricket this is going to be like soccer in Europe in next few years we will watch too much gape between teams like India Australia England and South Africa and others because they have better resources and funds for developing their own structures and players others could be far behind in this.

@vella85 let's just hope that it's just a small phase and I am hoping that Aus team will bounce back in upcoming ODI against SA and test series against India.

On another note, the test match can show a completely different story because every team struggling to win away from home.
England lost 5 wickets in the first session.

I'm really hoping Australia can pull them self out of this huge hole they are currently in. A win against SA in the next ODI can start the momentum but I just can't see it happening, maybe Australia need to bring in some young players and just give them a shot and see how it goes as the current team is in poor form.

[JSRAW]

@vella85 Yeah, a couple of wins can do magic sometimes. I think this is the time batsmen should step up and put some run on the scoreboard especially the senior players like Finch/Maxwell should anchor the inning in top/middle order respectively and give bowlers some chance to fight back. I would like to see Shaun Marsh in playing XI for the next game.

Today March between Pakistan vs New Zealand looking  interesting because of of because of both teams are doing well the New Zealand give a target of 266 to Pakistan but they have loss quick kids wickets in single over, let's hope now Pakistan doing better I think Pakistan need good partnership to win the this match.

Right now Shoaib and Imam doing good recovery as these both put 62 runs in just 13.2 overs if they can able to stay on crease for some more time then surely its going to be very interesting match otherwise its New Zealand is going to take lead in this series very easily good and spirited play by visitors.

edit: Imam lost his wicket now New Zealand is favorite to win this match.

Obviously non-Indian players are at a disadvantage since anywhere from 60% to 80% of the cricketing revenue comes from India. The scene is not that bad in Englad and Australia, but in the other countries the players are not earning well.

New Zealand defeated Pakistan easily in this one. IMO, if the partnership between Sarfaraz and Imad had continued till the end, the result would have been different. The top-order of Pakistan totally collapsed today, and this is the 12th consecutive ODI loss of Pakistan against New Zealand. Pakistan needs to focus more on ODIs and Tests; they've been indulged too much in T20 format for the past few months.

I agree, Australia just need to find a win from somewhere which can give them that spark they need to perform well. Like you said the senior players now need to step up and play well as that gives the younger players confidence to play well. I also think Shaun Marsh deserves another shot as he has been in pretty good form playing shield cricket. Tomorrow is the day to see if Australia can bounce back and get a win or continue with their losing form. I think its a make or break for the rest of the Australian summer in the match tomorrow.

I think we have a different definition of collapse mate. That was some good bowling by Trent Boult to get Hafeez and Babar. I hardly blame them. "Fucker" was disappointing as usual, Pakistan should start thinking of alternatives. Poor fella has failed too many times at the top order now.

and this is the 12th consecutive ODI loss of Pakistan against New Zealand.

Lol, Doesn't surprise me xDD

Pakistan needs to focus more on ODIs and Tests; they've been indulged too much in T20 format for the past few months.

And what do you suggest them? Playing against other top nations won't help their cause that will only demoralise them more. They need to focus on their local cricket Structure. Just like they copied other nations with PSL, they should start copying their local structure too. Only Good will come out for them iyam.

I agree that Trent Boult's bowling was exceptional but, being so experienced in Abu Dhabi, the batsmen should've handled it. Fakhar has no technique at all, his entire performance depends upon his luck. Pakistan does need a good opening batsman. BTW, Sharjeel Khan might be making a return sooner or later.

On a side note, it's not a good habit to spoil names like that. "Fakhar" has a good meaning in Arabic.

A league like PSL but of 50-overs can probably help Pakistan in ODI-format.

1st Test of England tour of SL, SL requires another 447 runs to win and 10 wickets at the end of 3 days of play. So considering the match till now it will be very difficult for SL to draw or to win this test match. Only some special innings could help to make SL win this test.

Should have or could have doesn't matter if it isn't your day you can't really do much iyam.

Nah he is got his "technique". I have seen him play. His timing is sweet. I believe its more of a confidence issue.

Pakistan does need a good opening batsman. BTW, Sharjeel Khan might be making a return sooner or later.

First, define "Good". Does getting a 50 off 80 balls in each match means the player is a good openner? Fakhar has got the brute force required at top of the order to get off to a good start, something which was sharjeel's role. I don't think Pakistan has a player right now who could replace fakhar. The problem with these style of players is that they will fail more often than the regular ones. You have got to be patient with them. I say, Let fakhar play this ODI series and decide afterwards.

I dunno how a single league can help em out. They should really work on their local talent. More local tournaments with bigger prizes would be a good start.

I've been closely watching Fakhar's performance for a while, and can confidently say that his technique will ONLY work on bad balls. Yes, he has the capability of making 50 runs on 20 balls in the opening, but only if bowler fails to do any good in bowling.

An opener is not supposed to be like that, the first three batsmen of the team should be able to perform well with consistency (the strike rate of above 80 is fine, but less than that, I don't consider it good for an opener in an ODI). Sharjeel, on the other hand, always seemed to play with stability even against the quality balls. I'd always prefer Sharjeel to Fakhar, let's see if Sharjeel is able to get back in cricket anytime soon.

I am very exciting to see women T20 cricket world cup u will be starting from within 2 days, and I am going to support indian women team they are the one favourite team to win the title of T20 world cup 2018 but still they have to go long way let's hope India will do.

Lol so do the rest of 99% of batsmen, You can't turn Good balls into sixes or fours, Its a game for both batsmen and bowlers. Only those batsmen are successful which can capitalize on bad balls. I remember kholi went without a 50 in 12 matches in a row. But they gave him the confidence that he needed. Look how good he is performing. All i am saying is let the dude complete the series and then decide from there.

Good balls can't be turned into sixes or fours, correct, but they can be played as dots. Good openers do plan and play them as dots. I'm not saying that remove Fakhar from the middle of the series, let him play in this one, he might score well again. However, ODIs and Tests are not for him, or if he's being considered as compulsory by PCB for the ODIs, then at least his number should be moved to somewhere in middle-order so that he may not ruin the opening of the match. It'll eventually be done but only after a few more failures.

The second ODI match between Australia and SA starts today. I'm interested to see if Australian can bounce back and put in a better performance then they did in the first game. This is a vital match for Australia as it could make or break the rest of the series and maybe even the upcoming test series with India. I just want to see Australia put up a fight today.

English lower middle order doing an exceptional job for the team. indeed a tough task for SL. they need to hold their horses for at least 2 sessions without any loss. which is very unlikely, then they can think about winning.

They are doing fine for now. finch looking good so far. I thoroughly enjoyed Steyn's spell. ODI win is important but i think test series can be very different. we shouldn't forget that Aus didn't play a single test match at home after Ban Saga.

In case Aus didn't manage to win this series or at least compete then Australian cricketers association going to push their agenda on lifting the ban for all 3 players aggressively.


was about to post comment and Finch Bowled! lol

Edit

3 Aussie batsmen got out on 40+ mark and failed to convert into big innings. SA bowlers did a great job. tailenders adding some valuable runs for Australia. hope they will play full quota of their 50 overs and reach 235-240

On another hand, Srilanka is struggling too.

Australia in a lot of trouble right now. They are struggling at 142/4 after 29 overs. Enough of this. I believe that they should recall Warner and Smith. They were the top two players and the team is not the same without them.
