They were showing stats and apparently left armers has taken wickets at an average of 22 whereas right armers has taken wicket at an average of 32 in this world cup.
Strange stuff.

Nah four over and 28 is nothing to do. Gulbadin sealed it imo. The momentum was too much from there on.
I'd rather a batsman who gets out early, who takes his time then still doesn't put anything up. You're in the same situation, hardly any runs on the board.
It may not have been simply to throw the match. It could have been for him to bowl so many overs for so many runs.
Often with fixing, the bets are much more obscure than simply win/lose.
Gulbadin Naib is a fecking legend 
Pitch being different was known long time back. Shankar will get one more chance for sure.
Huge gamble still to open with a guy who has never opened to throw him in a world cup match as an opener.
Didn't know that.
Pak were struggling to score vs spinners then this clown came in and gave away 18 runs which eased pressure, only needed run a ball from there. Not sure how it can be seen as anyone but Gulbadin's fault.
They mentioned it during the Pak match itself. It was the pitch covered by carpet.
Who is the fastest cricketer in a 100m race?
I am thinking Martin Guptill

Knew that cnut Roy would be back for our game. Still gutted we lost Dhawan 
Jadeja or Warner?
Sarfaraz.
Pakistan played in Leeds, tomorrows match is in Birmingham
If we win tomorrow then can try him as an opener in last 2 matches.
Pakistan vs NZ
Imad wasn't hitting big shots he was struggling, Pakistan needed Wahab for the big boundaries.
Imad was the one who hit three boundaries in that over!
I'd do that honestly - Pant, Dhoni, Jadhav, Pandya is a bit anxiety-inducing middle order
But Pant opening if he clicks could be an incredible asset and allows Rohit to play at his tempo which has been disturbed a little with Rahul
I can't see Kohli and Shastri doing that. They're quite conservative in team changes etc
Was someone blackmailing Gulbadin? “Lose the match or else...” Can’t see much else explaining these brain dead decisions at the end. Should’ve bowled Rashid and Mujeeb out before coming on.
Either way a repeat of 1992 is on.

Imad would have scored 10 + off last over if required. Match was done after 18 run over unless Rashid n Mujeeb cleaned the tail up
Captaincy?! He's lucky to be in the team. He's a darter that doesn't take wickets and also a hit and miss batsman.
Ah, there was a pitch covered today as well.
I'm surprised, I thought they'd keep the fresh pitches for the Semi finals
And was clueless the rest of the time. He did an anchor role but Wahab hitting sealed it.
It takes one good over for any batsman to get into stride.
If that afghani fielder takes the catch, imad would have been out in the 46th over. Couldn't believe he missed that chance.
NZ 2 down against Oz. Down to Willamson again.
That did not look out - did Nicholls waste a review?
He should have been out LBW before that
No
I know Imad, if Wahab wasn't there Imad couldn't win that game for Pakistan.
True, think the umpires missed two lbw decisions? If we did not need this win to qualify, I would have preferred afghani winning it. Would have done a lot of good for them.
If England bat first and put a decent total, India will be under pressure to chase it with struggling middle order. England have a chance if they bat first.
All Australia needed was a strike bowler to take pressure of cummins and starc, they are winning this again.Hes your standard utility all rounder. A lot of teams have that and these are the games they can come in handy.
Hes a decent bat for his position.
Their middle order isn't great and their fifth bowler is maxwell. I think kiwis will take this
England can beat us easily. Our batting has been sub par last 2 games. It is just about getting Rohit and Kohli out.
