The two sides are fighting to get points on the board after suffering first-up losses.

Let me guess, WI 300, Pakistan 233 all-out, if we play first.......We are 260, which WI makes in 42 Ovrs.

Should have included Yasir in the lineup. PAK is short of a bowler and is relying on the part timer Sohail as the 5th bowler. The problem with this approach is that if one bowler leaks runs, there will be no one to replace him. The 2nd mistake was to keep Umar and not to include Sarfaraz.

This is what happens when you go with the defensive mindset and take four regular bowlers instead of five. This might work for those teams who have stronger batting lineups but it does not suite Pakistan. We can now only hope that our batsmen are able to chase down the total, but the chances are not that good. In order for us to chase down the total, our batsmen will have to rely more on singles and long partnerships than boundaries.

The fielding coach was right wasn't he about Afridi's lack of professionalism? WI could accelerate in the last 5 overs because they had the wickets. Let us see how Pakistan fares now. Amazing lack of professionalism in such a crucial match. I am an Indian and will cheer for Pakistan in any match other than with India but this one is not looking good with WI having made a total of 310.

I remember when Majid Khan and Zaheer Abbas were playing cricket, they were one of the best batsman but we're the worst fielders. Majid considered it very disrespectful to chase the ball if he dropped a catch in the slip so was Zaheer. We use to make fun of their fieldings. After that, the current team seem to have same genes. They canot field, they cannot catch the ball and can easily loose control of the game. This is the worst Pakistani Cricket Team I have seen in a long time.

Prayers and Maulana not working; they need psychologist. Dead fielding, dead bowling, hopeless batting. Shame on old PCB chairman, he should go for immediate pension.

43-5 14.1 overs
The only thing remaining is if Afridi will be a hit or miss? You know he's going to come out swinging for a 100 in 20 balls.
As a Pakistani fan, the best part of this World Cup is that it's the last we've seen of Misbah, Younis, Afridi, and hopefully wicketkeeping by someone from the House of Akmal.

No point in playing 7 batsmen. Pakistan need to play 5 bowlers and 6 batsmen. Playing an extra batsman sacrificing the 5th bowler will simply not work. Pakistan's batsmen cannot copy with pressure. If anything, Misbah needs to come 1 down and play defense if a wicket falls early. Imran Khan did the same back in 92. When batting is under pressure, captain needs to come out early.

CONGRATS all pakistani fans. Atleast now MOIN will be fired for team selection. Specially for selecting Ehsan Adil and Nasir Jamshed. And SHAHARYAR will resign for long before team selection announcing that Younis will be part of the team. I am also sure that Waqar will be fired for his faulty planing and not being able to make his bowlers bowl a single yorker. I am so delighted that at last we will get rid of lazy, mediocre Nasir Jamshed. I wouldn't even select him in the A-team because he is no batsman of international level at all. Had they called in Azhar Ali, he surely could have played the first 10 overs and bowl a few overs too.
Misbah should not pretend to be some thing special either because every one who comes in after 20 overs can make a fifty, thats what he makes at best. His captaincy stinks specially today when he chose to chase. All in all we are being punished for presence of darkness of NAJAM Sethi.

They have not sent an A-team on a tour to any test playing nation for 7 years now. Cricket is finishing just as railway, PIA, Steel Mills and all other institutions are down down.

There are so many reasons why Pakistan performance so far is very poor.
1. Pakistan is playing most of the cricket in UAE where pitches are very flat dead and once they travel to outside sub continent they fail to deliver the result in there favour , because pakistan players are habituated to play only in UAE conditions where ball comes to bat very easily and they are not aware of Bouncy lively pitches in Australia, England South Africa and Newzealand in this case players cannot be blamed completely , complete system to be blamed for this.
2. Pakistan players are lacking in technique , lacking in patience to stay at the crease , dont know how to play according to the situation , dont know how to capitalize the start they will throw the wicket without thinking of the situation and for all this who is responsible it is the responsibility of the coach to teach all this and who is batting coach Grant flower communication gap between English and Urdu.
3. when you know the history is showing since 2011 pakistan never chased the score of 250 plus,how come you bat second when you have won the toss. Pakistan should have bat first and ask the opposition to chase and put the pressure but unfortunately NO SENSE to think all this.
4. Misbah is not leading from the front because he is the only player who is contributing with the bat since they land in Australia and Newzealand and he should have come one down to control the early blow.

Induct new blood as there is no dearth for bright new talent in Pakistan, but somewhere its the dirty politics which has kept them unnoticed. I also feel Pakistan should participate in IPL as its a perfect international platform to get instant recognition. Many new faces in the current Indian team have actually sprung out from that system. But the most important thing is the will to do so, which as of now I do not see in the Pakistani establishment.

Also need to bring back Aaqib Jawaid as a coach.
New team should include Sohail Khan, Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, May be bring back aamir since he was good bowler but his past was shaddy.
There is a lot of talent in Pakistan bring good talent, emphasis more on batting on fast pitches. Don't ever trust on local and UAE pitches.
