We shouldn't laugh at others misfortune. Afg is a mighty strong side.

I find joy in seeing Pakistan lose at anything. To his to their own.

haha same here. But at the same time i know they will come up with their A game against us this sunday

Afgans took their revenge of Asia cup loss against Pak, when they came agonizingly close but a calm Malik denied them victory.

Afgan bolwing is good. Their batting looks in form. They will put a stiff challenge against BD.

Lets hope so

Let's hope Pakistan keep their form in the warm up match against Bangladesh.

Will be a good match tomorrow.

[adamnsu]

Wonder if there is a legal way of watching if Sky dont broadcast BD’s game tomorrow.

Shakib, Rahim, Mash should rest

Mullah can lead

Remember we lost to Ireland Wolves before going and winning all the games we played in the tri-series and most of them very comfortably. Pakistan's ODI form dipped when they got rid of their fielding coach and started dropping easy catches but they are still a strong side.

Riyadh is the most suspect of the group to injury. He has a grade 3 muscle tear and that's why didn't bowl a single over in the tri-series.

Do not understand the amount of hate Imam ul-Haq receives despite being a high scorer:

Difference is Anamul didnt score much in comparison.

I remember Nathan Astle from New Zealand who was considered selfish

It would be a miracle if a hack like Anamul gets anywhere near first XI of other teams like Pakistan, he would have been red flagged in domestics for his poor footwork before he reaches international cricket.

5/6 of Imam's century innings are at +85 sr....Paks can't appreciate a good batsman when they have one. Same with Babar

A hack like Anamul is what they have in their domestics and pipeline these days. Go check out PakPassion. They have complained about their recent youngsters having poor footwork and technique all over the place.

In the last 12 months they have won only 4 matches against top 10 countries while lost 16 matches.

Despite this very poor results, Pakistan fans still think Pakistan has a chance to win the world cup and surely will go to semi final.

Deluded or realistic based on Paksitan's past performance??

You just had to didn't you?

If they go on to win the world cup this will look rather silly

It may very well be us, Lanka, India, etc. But that doesn't hide the fact that we have serious bowling issues. They have batting issues aswell.

Take India for example: very likely to lift the cup -after top 3, very fragile middle/lower order. They acknowledge that.

They've almost reached the semis
