Cricket match prediction discussions

[jostorres]

Talking about cricket yes I also dont see this happening may for 3 to 4 years atleast or even more.

Agreed. It is possible for India-Pakistan to resolve their issues in the future so that their respective teams can play against each other more often, but I don't see that happening anytime soon as you mentioned.

Fault lies on both sides for various reasons. Both Cricket teams consist of a multitude of talented players and it would be great to see more matches across all formats between them.

All is possible in cricket world but right now it's not possible in these two countries India-Pakistan because here most of the politicians are having full time jobs with their politics, and they never want to solve issues and bring transparency between these two countries which help common peoples lives and bring better things in their lives, so mostly they try to create more hate and done things which bring more chaos. In last 20 years now it's all on top so if someone want to solve then surely it's need very long time and all possible just will table talk which is not happening for many years and just backing on media for better ratings and vote banks.

Few years back these both countries were ruling in Field hockey as both were playing against each other but as they stop now both are out and down but still not understanding mean all is now down and out for personal ego.

It was a fact that India and Pakistan had some of the best Hockey players in the world Shahbaz Ahmed, Sohail Abbas and Hassan Sardar from Pakistan where Sohail Abbas was a goal scoring machine and from India Dhanraj Pillay and then the legend himself Dhyan Chand who is globally considered as the greatest Hockey player of all time.

The reason the sport of Hockey is dying is because India and Pakistan consider Cricket as the greatest sport rejecting all other sports and i bet none of the present generation might not know these legendary players i mentioned nor wanted to emulate them and when the Hockey rules were formed India nor Pakistan had a say on the global rules and India and Pakistan players played in grass fields and now the match is conducted in astroturf and hence European and Australia are ruling the Hockey field after that switch.

If people were saying that the matches of India vs Pakistan shouldn't be even played under ICC tournaments and regulations I think they have just lost their mind and they are just some lifeless beings who have nothing better to do than spread hate all over the world.

You may think that these sort of discussions are initiated only among fringe groups with no parliament representations. But that is not true. When India was facing Pakistan during the T20 World Cup in the UAE, one of the major regional parties (Shiv Sena) actually asked the government and the BCCI to pull out of the tournament, so that India doesn't need to play against Pakistan. And incidentally this is the same political party which once dug up the cricket pitch in order to prevent a India vs Pakistan test match.

Shiv Sena always have hard stance on relationship with Pakistan even the death of there leader Bal Thackeray have no effect on there hard line stance. I don't see that sort of pressure from Pakistan side. Ever since BCCI became member of big 3 they are not playing with Pakistan to prove there supremacy and not allowing Pakistani to participate in IPL.

As I have previously said these things can only be done by people with no brain and a sick mentality. The hatred in the mind of these people is absolutely unbelievable and I am sure those people are absolute Islamophobes. And the only thing that they are good at is to hit on other people that don't agree with them. And I don't see any action being taken against these people because they are backed up by the people in power.

Let's just deviate from Pakistan India seris which is not going to happen in a decade.

There is breaking news for PCB and cricket fans in Pakistan as Australia arrive in Pakistan for first tour in 24 years. Aussie captain after touch down in Pakistan saying 'I feel incredibly safe,'.

Tour will start with 3 match test series and first test is scheduled on 4th March 2022. Both teams are in good form. I rate Australia favorite for test format while Pakistan in T20 series as both have performed well in these formats.

Although this is a cricket thread and other sports discussion does not mean anything here, however I haven't heard of these two nation focusing on hockey as this game is no more popular. All the interest seems to be in cricket therefore we see cricket being popular with all those leagues and stuff. Don't know which other sports is popular in both the countries.

That would be a interesingt series and since australia team has come after two decades to visit pakistan, the result of the series will matter a lot. Australia will never want to lose this series and pakistan will be keen to make the history.

This is a big history in Cricket. This series will surely help Pakistan build better infrastructure for cricket. Moreover we can expect more countries touring Pakistan in the coming months. Pakistan will give good security for the players and Pakistan people will be happy to watch a big series happening in the country after a long gap. As said Australia will have good chance on tests and T20 will be dominated by Pakistan.

It's a make or break situation for Pakistan and it all depends on how well this series goes from security point of view and Pakistan authorities must be aware of this. If this series is conducted then all teams less India will be comfortable in touring Pakistan.
Australia are coming with there full squad and none of there player has refused to tour Pakistan. This indicates that players along with Australia government is happy in touring Pakistan.

If this tour goes pretty well then I think we will see a lot of other teams tour Pakistan pretty soon.

But the Pakistan government is going to have to make sure that the security is really good and no unexpected occurrence can happen. And this is going to be really good for Pakistan cricket and also for future PSL. I know that India is not going to tour Pakistan anytime soon but I would like the other Asian teams to tour Pakistan.

I believe we all will be keenly following this series, as it’ll be really interesting to see if Pakistan can dominate Australia in their home ground. Also as far as security is concerned I feel it’ll not be an issue, as both countries have checked all the preparations, and once this series ends successfully I feel that other countries will immediately express their interest to tour Pakistan.

One of the fast bowler in the test squad Haris Rauf tested positive for COVID-19. He is supposed to play his debut test match in his home ground Rawalpindi. Already fast bowler Hasan Ali and allrounder Faheem Ashraf were out of the first test due to injuries happened during the Pakistan Super League. Lets wait and watch what is gonna happen within few days.

It's going to be really good for Pakistan in the long run and I am looking forward to seeing a lot more countries tour Pakistan after the series. To be honest no one has that much problem tour in Pakistan except for India.

Pakistan certainly needs to find a substitute for him as soon as possible. Probably we might see some reserve players in action. Mohammad Abbas could be a valid option.

Last time Australia played in Pakistan they won the 3 test series 1-0. Though Pakistan has performed good against there home series against Australia in UAE we can't say how they will perform in this test series. Australia are too good at there home ground, not much data is available about Aus performance in Pakistan as they haven't played here for last 24 years.
India not touring Pakistan is only because of political reasons not on security grounds.

South Africa won by 198 run against New Zealand. South Africa played poor well.Their batting and bowling was brilliant. Bowling and batting were form in.But New Zealand played poor cricket.Unfortunately New Zealand didn’t play good but Nez Zealand very strong team in Test Cricket and They Are defending World Championship winner. I hope they will improve their job and i hope they will be back their win site.

South Africa made a good comeback after the disappointing loss in the first test match. And by winning the second test they maintained their great run of form against New Zealand in test cricket. Newzealand obviously needs to get better if they want to successfully defend their title. I think New Zealand is going to learn from its mistakes and show better performance in the future.

News not good for Pakistan from fast bowling perspective. Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf are already not available due to injuries in PSL. Now Naseem Shah (a travelling reserve) is replacing Haris Rauf. Pakistan will mostly rely on Shaheen Afridi in fast bowling department. These injuries will further lessen Pakistan chances in Test.

I think Pakistan is going to do quite well in this series against Australia in Pakistan. But I also want the matches to be competitive and not one-sided. Probably then this series is going to live up to the expectation of all the people. Pakistan is going to have advantages in home conditions. I expect Australia to give them a good fight in this series.
And India is not going to tour Pakistan because of not only the political situation but also the incidents that might occur, from both countries.

This will be a really big problem for Pakistan because as far as I know, the pitch is going to be fast bowling friendly. And with all these important players being injured Pakistan is going to have fewer chances of winning in the test match in your opinion. Shaheen Afridi is going to be the only reliable fast bowler in Pakistan. So, now I think they will have to depend on their spin bowlers also.

I want Pakistan to whitewash Australia but it should be hard fought victory. Heard that 1st test might get washed out due to rain -last 2 days-.

Pindi's pitch do favor Australian style of gameplay so draw result seems good from Pakistan's perspective.

Having said that it would be fun to watch if Pak treat Aussie the same way, Aussie treated the Poms.

Australia also looking for whitewash, Nathan Lyon: 'My mindset is to win 3-0 in Pakistan'

Pakistan had previously whitewashed Australia but in UAE back in 2014, 2-0 and since Australia haven't played in Pakistan for 2 decades so its very hard to say who is being whitewashed here. Right now Pakistan Cricket Board focus is only is successful conduction of this tour, team performance is secondary thing.
