ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[noormcs5]

Yes, exactly the same way they played in the World Cup, they played against Bangladesh. The Pakistan team disappoints me a lot. They should have whitewashed the series against Bangladesh, but they managed to give away only 114 runs in the ODI series. Their condition is very poor. They should prepare and play. The way Bangladesh has played proves how strong and good their effort is. Pakistan bowlers could not put Bangladesh under any pressure and could only take 2 wickets, while they should have controlled Bangladesh till the end, but Bangladesh controlled Pakistan and achieved an easy target. If Pakistan loses this series, then there is a possibility of sinking for them because Bangladesh does not have much strength, yet they are succeeding.

Bangladesh had a very good start in this series, and I hope so they will continue this streak till the end of the series. If Bangladesh wins tomorrow's game they will win the series and I am just hoping that Bangladesh wins next couple of games so that they can whitewash the Pakistan team, so excited for the next games.

Pakistan has already lost their confidence and is struggling. Pakistan needs to activate a different plan and I think they also need to look at the pitch and the conditions so that they may take a bit of advantage.

In the One Day Cup Australia not a interesting and enjoyable game can be seen between  New South Wales and Tasmania and New South Wales defeated Tasmania by 4 wickets. Tasmania opens inning first with  Caleb Jewell and Mitchell Owen but  both the openers seems to be panicked with poor batting technique and Owen scores just 4 runs and also Jewell out on duck and in middle order the team was totally panicked and wickets falls continuously and in this panicked situation Nikhil Chaudhary absorbed the pressure by playing a very defensive knock of 31 runs and also Tim Ward played positive role for his team by scoring 26 runs and at the end of the innings Tasmania set a low target of 119 runs. New South Wales inning with Sam Konstas and Josh Philippe and both the openers don't manage the target very sincerely and gives a very bad  response to team and Konstas scores just 8 and also Philipee was not in good form lost his wicket on just 4 runs and in middlye order Kurtis Patterson lead the batting order and playing a very defensive knock of 52 runs and also with the help of Joel Davies 20 runs Wales can easily manage the difficult target of 119 runs and won the game

Pakistan seriously need cleansing in the Management of PCB. Like what is the Team they are playing, Babar Azam is being played in T20 but not in the ODI which is his strength. Like what were they thinking when Dropping Babar, They made him play t20 which is not suitable for his playstyle made him get criticism and now when his type of Games came (ODI) then they didn't even have him in the Squad. This match should be the one from which Pakistan team learns or They are finished. They are taking decisions emotionally which are influenced by the Fans which shouldn't be. At professional level like this you can't think like that. PCB management should have people that are professional and are appointed based on their abilities not by recommendation of someone (Parchi).

What PCB is doing for last few years is that they have created a pool of players and players from this pool are continuously shuffled in playing eleven. Players like Rizwan and Haris Rauf were removed from team before world cup and now they are included while Babar Azam is dropped. As long as PCB move with this approach, we should not expect any improvement in team performance but further decline. Babar Azam is great player and must be part of team specially in ODI and test format.

The way they played well in the first match and controlled Pakistan in the match has made them very strong and in fact we can see them succeeding in this series. That is how it should be for Pakistan because Bangladesh is a very strong team and they are working hard and effort for this victory and if Pakistan continues to play well in this match then we can hope that there will be interest in this series and we can see a good result in this last match. Pakistan has not built any confidence in any team so far and that is why it is difficult to see Pakistan Victory this series and Bangladesh victory is more interesting for us because Pakistan is no longer capable of playing any match and Victory. This is the shortcoming in them that they do not strengthen themselves and cannot build their toughness in any match.

Yes, in One-Day Cup (Australia) series, final game was played between TAS and NSW team and this game ended yesterday and played at Bellerive Oval ground. NSW team won toss and they elected fielding first and gave batting lineup to opponent team TAS team. TAS batsmen performed worst in final game and set 118 runs target in 20.3 overs by losing all wickets. Nihkil and Tim batsmen made more than 20 runs otherwise mostly batsman batted poor and made few runs. Sean and Ben bowler of NSW team helped team to win this important game and each bowler took down 3 wickets. Kurtis batsmen batted well and showed helpful effort against TAS team and he made 52 runs in 57 balls and hitted four 4s.

Congratulations NSW team won final game of One-Day Cup (Australia) series and won Trophy.

Yeah rank turner but Rana ji took a fifer and seamers claimed 8 pakistani wickets so not sure if your rank turner argument holds any weight.

Teams nowadays don't try warm up match in tests because of tight schedule and you are expecting warm up match for well squeezed ODI series ( just 5 days)?

LOL.. I forgot the fact that Nahid Rana is a pace bowler. I confused him with some other player. That said, I was saying that Pakistan didn't got enough time to get acclimatized. Conditions in Bangladesh can be quite challenging and adjusting to them will take time. But your argument is also right. In a 3-match series, where they will find enough time for warmup matches? The second ODI is scheduled for today, at the same venue. Apart from Nahid Rana, the other pacers (Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman) also took wickets during the first match. Pakistani batsmen are even struggling against these players.

The second ODI match between Bangladesh and Pakistan is going to start very soon and Bangladesh team has a lot of chances in this match. We have already seen that Bangladesh team has performed very well against Pakistan at their home ground and they have achieved a great victory. However, Pakistan team will try to play well against Bangladesh to win today's match but Bangladesh team's bowling line is very good in that case it will put pressure on Pakistan batsmen. Moreover, we have seen that Bangladesh team plays much better at their home ground and Pakistan team's performance is not very good in Bangladesh ground. So Bangladesh team will definitely defeat Pakistan team in this ODI series and Pakistan will lose the series but Bangladesh will win very confidently.
