ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Ah Haris!

Very good knock when we needed it.
 
About fecking time Babar got a ton in a successful chase. What a pitch and occasion to do it on!
 
Very good win, crucial win. Still have hopes of reaching the knock-out stages. Fantastic from Babar under pressure.

Will probably lose to Afghanistan...
 
These scenes must be getting the UK right frothing in their mouth. It's the middle of England but looks like Lahore.

I am pretty sure there will be more India fans in the stadium on Sunday than English.

Dare I say it but Pakistan fans are even crazier in U.K. than in their homeland.

NZ didn't really. They fought as much as they could, just got undone by losing too many wickets early on. Even after that the fightback to post 230+ was great.

I meant while chasing.

Williamson's choices of bowlers and field placement were very bizarre. The fast bowlers didn't mix it up with the slower ones and the off cutters and their execution of the bouncers was poor as well.

Imagine if Pakistan qualify ahead of them. They’ll be protesting :lol:
 
Not enough people here pay attention to the cricket for it to really cause any fuss to be honest. There’s probably more Indian and Pakistan fans living here than English ones.

The atmosphere at the India and Pakistan games is great

When at the end of the day if Pakistan qualify above England then it's only England's fault.

I really hope they don’t make it. I don’t care who does, any one of Pakistan, SL or Bangladesh would be just as good with me. It’s fantastic craic for the number one ranked team in the world to not make it out of the group stages of their own tournament.

They also should have played a second specialist spinner, even Williamson was making good use of the pitch, imagine what a full timer could do.

England are screwed if it's a similar pitch against India, the two Indian leggies will destroy them.

Reminds me of the youtube highlights of England vs Australia.

99% comments are from India and Pakistan
 
What an innings from Babar and Haris! Babar coming off age with a century made in a pressure situation on a very difficult wicket, amply supported by once again brilliant Haris. Two bedrocks of our middle order.

The top order need to get going now, Zaman and Imam have been too inconsistent uptil now in the world cup and leave too much to Babar and the middle order.
 
Huge win for Pak. Babar Azam is a classy batsmen and he can be Pakistan's main stay in batting for some years to come. Can Pak qualify now? Ofcourse they can and they might even win the whole damn thing unless India decides to take matter into their own hands.

NZ should thank Braithwaite for not finishing them off or they would have been in a huge trouble.

True. However, if England win I imagine many would celebrate.
