crossing Sachin's record is easy peasy as far as Kohli concern.

I was talking about both formats, not only in ODI. Sachin scored 34347 in both format, while Virat scored 18269 in both format, he has a long way to go, I doubt he will be able to perform in this long way. There's no doubt that he will cross Sachin in ODI though.

Uhhh okay sir, my apologies. I got that wrong.

@royse : food porn is always welcome

@haunebu : one small correction bro, highest average in test match belong to sir don Bradman, in recent time steve smith and if we talk about indian batsmen then he's at 3rd spot after sachin and guess who is in top ?  It's vinod kambli ( around 17-18 games)

Nice to hear that after a long wait, it is now possible for the Pakistani cricket fans to watch international cricket. Hopefully, a successful tour by Sri Lanka will remove the doubt from the minds of the other cricket boards and I hope they will also agree to tour Pakistan. The PCB need revenues badly, and it looks like they will get a breather from the Sri Lankans.

PCB can do more better but bad management and poor decisions bringing them down badly even we have good support from Federal Government but still there is not a real good mind person who can handle this all just one or two faces changed and all others coming from previous system so its biggest problem for local and international tournament and revenue.

The 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifiers will start from next month onwards (October 18) in the United Arab Emirates. A total of 14 teams are competing, and the top 6 teams will qualify for the qualifier phase of the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup. 12 teams will be competing in the main round, and it means that at least one associate member will get entry to the main competition (as Zimbabwe are no longer allowed to take part).

One disappointment is that Nepal is not taking part in the qualifiers, as they could only finish second in the Asian qualifier. Singapore with its 100% foreign squad managed to relegate Nepal to the second position. Out of the 14 teams that are taking part in the qualifying tournament, four have mostly foreign sides (Canada, Singapore, Oman, UAE).

Not sure about the authenticity of the news, however, I wish it would be certainly good to see match in Pakistan. Pakistan has lost its golden ages, it would help the team to get back once again.
Wasn't it Srilanka who played last in Pakistan? I have forgotten a lot of thing.

Thanks for the correction. Got a bit confused thanks to some news articles. It seems that he averages 50+ across all formats at the moment and scored the most T20 runs surpassing Rohit sharma.

True. However, the danger of terrorist attacks always looms there which is why their government needs to take extreme steps to eradicate them so that they don't have to face similar situations in the future.

News is correct, Sri Lankan board already announced their B team last week or so when regular players pulled their name out from this tour.  Yeah it was Srilanka.

I am not worried about any Terror attack this time. Security is very tight and stable in Karachi and Lahore as far as i know. There might be a 0.01% chance of some mishap, but Army can control this just putting more security similar to PSL final? May be local can educate us on this issue.

I have already mentioned in the other thread, team B or C whatever - Pakistan has a good opportunity now to prove them worth hosting international cricket again. They should not waste it and the local needs to understand the reality too. They (local) need to show all their support for cricket and need to ensure that the visitors are safe.

And since the Ashes ended, I am having a boring time LOL
Afghanistan vs Zimbabwe, may be this will be the best entertainment for me for today :-P

[Vishnu.Reang]

Looks like Zimbabwe may get an upset win against Afghanistan. They need another 44 runs in 39 balls, with 8 wickets remaining. Hamilton Masakadza made 71 from 42 balls and smashed the Afghan bowlers all around the park. Earlier Afghanistan had a middle order collapse, as they slumped from 107/1 in 13 overs to finish at 155/8. Mpofu picked up 4 wickets. I am not sure whether these matches will be having the T20I status. There is no confirmation yet from the ICC.

Even though the matches score may be boring, but you will surely see jam packed stadiums.
What i am expecting form this Srilanka team in Pakistan is that the next PSL should be held in Pakistan and not in United Arab Emirates. If this happens, they will give us a lot of matches to watch in Lahore and Karachi.

I believe they can manage more things but really unprofessional peoples in PCB hurting too much and they have no policy and no aim just working for safety of own jobs which is not good enough only Lahore and Karachi not Pakistan they can settle things in Rawalpindi and Multan as well but some time I feel they are too stupid to do things easily.

If they wanted to shift the entire international matches back to Pakistan why don't they shift their PSL T20 tournament completly in Pakistan rather than using UAE for some matches, if they are able to demonstrate that to the entire world that they are safe for cricketers now then people might change their mind regarding that, if you know that it is not safe for their life as the world saw the attack against cricketers in the past and no one in the right mind would travel to play cricket.

The majority of the Sri Lankan players refused to tour Pakistan due to safety concerns. That's why they mostly picked youngsters and members of the A team. If the Sri Lankans are reluctant to visit Pakistan, how can you expect players such as Colin Munro, Darren Sammy and Luke Ronchi to play the PSL matches in Pakistan? It will take some time, and please be patient.

Masakadza finished his career with a memorable win against Afghanistan. He played an outstanding innings of 71 runs from just 42 balls. Zimbabwe reached the target of 156 easily with the help of Masakadza. And with the lose Afghanistan winning streak of 12 T20 finally ends.

Tomorrow Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan. Bangladesh lost the first match against Afghanistan, but now they change couple of players. It will be a massive action, I'm sure.             

[Little Mouse]

It was a great win for Zimbabwe, it could not be a much better day for Masakadza, very few players get this type od last match. He was a great asset for Zimbabwe team, I think they will now be in more trouble.
I don't want to put a word on Ban vs Afg match, I wish Ban come back and play as natural.

Oh common..PCB is making this happen so we cannot say that there is unprofessionalism within PCB.
We are planing the matches only in the two big cities as it will be not wise to take the tournament to small cities too. I am not saying that there is any threat in small cities for the players but in reality a lot of money is to be spent on the security of the team and if they have to travel between cities it will cost PCB more to manage securities in those cities too.

Finally we see the first win for the Zimbabwe in this tournament and they will be happy to get their first 2 points on the table. The match was interesting as Zimbabwe only managed to win the last over.
This makes the next match between Bangladesh vs Afghanistan more interesting as the winner of it will top the table.

Snip~~

Yes Zimbabwe is troubling now with their cricket team and after Masakadza's leave the troubles are increasing in the Zimbabwe's team I think. Masakadza played e vital role for the cricket team. So its really a bad things for Zimbabwe.
