Do Pakistan realise this is a Twenty20 game?
T20 World Cup
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
feck - my stream has died.
Either they thinks its a test match, or they are planning on hitting a 100 off the last 5 overs

Very strange. Nearly at the 15th over and the 100's not up.
dont worry about it ,a waste of bandwidth , Paskistan look like they have taken ,some sort of go slow drugs , there is no urgency in there play what so ever.
Run rate is now 16.3 92 from 32 balls
another wicket down
Afridi out
they do have some big hitter to come , but even they cant get 84 runs in 5 overs
David Lloyd's comment about Afridi was priceless: "he's been swinging like a rusty gate".
England have done really well in this game so far. Should be enough to progress.

Pakistan look completely out of sorts. Lack of cricket is showing.
Come on Pakistan, hit 20 fours and its game, set and match
Bumble does come out with some class comments.
would be exciting if they didHolland will give Pakistan a game.
Pakistan today = Us against Barca
so holland can still go through if they lose a tight game against pakistan
Pakistan cricket is in shambles
pakistan were shite in the first ten minutes.
I bet there manager is fuming ,you would of though they would of come out swinging ,it was a decent total to start with.
Even now ,better to lose going for it ,nit like this pissing it away not even trying

which pleases me.
Another wicket.
Pakistan might as well just take the last few overs as batting practise.
Pathetic display.

Probably not.
Pakistan are horrible.
Bollocks. He's got decent pace and bounce. He'll mature into a very good bowler.
you have a point ,he just needs to stop making stupid schoolboys errors
That overthrow V Holland was pityful
Agree. And a more than capable batsman as well.
That was nerves, it can happen to anyone. I'm talking about his bowling, he's certainly got the potential, certainly more than any of the other English bowlers.
I agree with you there.
i think this has been the poorest 20/20 innings I have ever seem , yes I have seen smaller totals ,but never seen a team just not try ,if it was a boxing match it would of been stopped a long time ago.
A bit unusual to see England so in control of a game. Good stuff.
Great stuff. I knew it would be easy, Pakistan are dire at Twenty20 now. My England bet looks good now - Betfair have England as 9/1 to win the whole thing. The anti English had a bit of premature ejaculation the other day when we lost to Netherlands.. we will go on to win it now!
When Pakistan play Holland, not only do they know they have to win, they'll know all the other stats too so I wouldn't be surprised if England are knocked out.
However, this theory relies upon Pakistan giving about 3/10 for effort, compared to the -50/10 today

This thread is entertaining more for Addicts crusade than anything.
I don't think England can get knocked out now, unless the tournament doesn't consider Net Run Rate as the main criterion to qualify.
England's Net Run Rate is good since they beat Pakistan comfortably and lost to Holland off the last ball.
So if Holland beat Pakistan by any margin, Pakistan is out.
If Pakistan beat Netherlands by a big margin, Netherlands are out.
If Pakistan beat Netherlands by a small margin, Pakistan are out .
yea England are through
That's just terrible. I would be pissed off if i was a Pakistani.
The thing that's even worse is when Gul dropped a catch at third man. He was laughing about it, and so was Younis Khan. Horrible captain.
Pakistan don't get a chance to play much cricket now, they should be grasping any opportunity they get.
Yeah, I'd be pissed off if I was Pakistani too.
