Commiserations Rebs, Wahab has had 6 dropped catches from his bowling, which is the most in the World Cup so far. Dude if I made a montage of all the catches that were dropped of our bowlers that were absolute dollies (especially in the slips) Imran Khan had it worst. He probably lost atleast 50-60 wickets to dropped catches. Wasim about the same. Waqar prob less like 20-30 odd. In all formats test and ODI + Show Spoiler + I play cricket in alumni tournaments when I go home on holidays. I dont play much compared to the rest of my batch who play pretty much every weekend and are very good for amateurs. But do you know why I always get picked to play ? Because I am a good fielder. Look you can lack talent in bowling or batting. Some are better than others. But fielding. Fielding is something anyone can be good at. All you need is some athleticism (+ Show Spoiler + which you should have as a professional anyway, otherwise wtf are you doing there) and i played varsity soccer and basketball not the most popular sports here But lets be honest, except that spell from Wahab we were at no point the better side and that showed today. Our batsmen were impetuous and retarded as usual and the one time Misbah decides to not hunker down and share responsibility they dropped that responsibility over and over again into Aaron Finches hands and gave Hazelwood of all people a 4 for The game was over at 213. The rest was just us trying to pretend we were involved. Yeh maybe if those catches were taken the game would have been a bit hairy. But we were never winning it after Misbah and Harris got out. That was it. I expected to lose but my hope was that if we lost it would be because Australia beat us. Australia didnt beat us today. They just showed and took what we gave them happily. "Wato you struggling ? Here let me pummel you with fire and brimstone so that you edge one and my team mates drop it. In form now? Awesome ! Cheers mate. The problem is that we lose because of whats in our heads. Everything considered I am just happy we made the top 8. Other teams have it worse *cough* England *cough* Imagine if Australia didnt have Mitchel Starc, Johnson and Faulkner/Maxwell/Wato. That was the state of our bowling lineup. Wahab Riaz was a 4th choice seamer and probably wouldnt make the team if Irfan, Junaid Khan and Saeed Ajmal were in. So to that end it was a decent world cup. But you knowsome things were clear These fuckers like Fukmal and Maqsood dont even train in domestic cricket because now that they are in the national team they are too good for it. These guys need to get the boot and thats it. Done, unless they go and play domestic and work hard and learn to score big they dont get a way back in no matter how many games we lose. Problem is if we as a people were that far sighted and nothing more than bullshit nepotism and politics.. oh who am I kidding. | ||

The SA duo of Faf and AB seem to have gotten into a groove now... Looking like a 320ish score imo. | ||
