2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

[icyman]

It is Pakistan's game to lose. The way Abdullah and Rizwan are batting, doesn't seem there's any chance for the Lankans from here on

138 off 108 on a belter with 8 wickets in hand and such awful bowling from SL

I am sure Pakistan will easily survive a mini collapse here as well if it at all happens

They actually have a chance to boost their NRR here by wrapping this up with 4-5 overs to spare if they continue this attack

Nah, Pathirana is horrendous! I do not see what people see in him! He is so inconsistent with his line and length. Way too many extras that are releasing the pressure.

Rizwan reminds me of a younger version of Mushfiqur Rahim. So far, so good! Hope he sees this through the end.

They expect CSK magic...

He is so bad, mofo thinks he is Malinga!

Rizwan being unfit again. This is what I had pointed out a few days ago, but it was dismissed casually by other forum members. If he has to be a mainstay, he ought to keep himself fit.

Either he is not following fitness regimes or the physios aren't doing their job. I'd stick to the first ,cause if the physios weren't upto it,the rest of the team would have suffered too

He's like a dodgy leg spinner, bowls so many bad balls it is advantageous in T20 cricket when batters are coming at you nearly all the time. ODI cricket they have more time to wait for the bad ball and milk him.

I could not have said that as perfectly you said. He is horrible, he is single handedly losing the match for Sri Lanka with his atrocious bowling.

Rizwan will kill off the bowlers now, this is his zone and he is a master of that art.

Oh come on! Just retire out! It's pathetic now! You can't keep hobbling after every 2nd delivery. Bringing back memories of 1990s Pakistan now...

Why hasn't Lehsun Shanaka brought himself on? Lehsun (Garlic) is the perfect accompaniment to biryani!

Should be praising him for playing through the pain because his team needs him

You know, I have seen many batters bat throughout without these frequent glitches that Rizwan keeps having. If you are playing 50 over cricket, you should be able to last the duration of the game.

Not getting drawn into India v Pak here, but the other day, neither Kohli nor KLR had to call the physio out to the center. Ditto with Ravindra and Conway in the opening game.

Just cause someone has brought their team to a winning position doesn't mean you ought to sing praises. The fellow should be physically capable,which he clearly isn't. Note with Rizwan, this is a recurring concern as well.

Physically capable of what?
