These guys dont look like atheletes at all .. You can tell from their facial expressions that they are not serious especially shehzad and jamshed. Why is jamshed even stretching ? He should be rested and sent back home !

Nasir jamshed still there??
Unbelievable. The guy cant bat, cant field, is a pathetic catcher, cant run, is overweight and dont bowl. Still i am sure he will be given more chances after WC over deserving players like fawad.
Parchaa not parchee.!!

Why the heck is Jamshed even in the training, there are 100s of players better than him that should be in the squad? If Pakistan make the mistake of playing Jamshed tomorrow then they should forget the WC and come home.

Pakistan's win will be based upon excelling in fielding which it should take from New Zealand's playbook. In terms of batting and bowling, Pakistan is doing quite well due to it's four-man dream team and Irfan is an outstanding bowler. PCB and the team's coaches should closely watch New Zealand's fielding set up before the match on Sunday- it seems that India has done this as well during their Zimbabwe match.
ALL THE BEST TO OUR TEAM, work hard, play hard and most of all BEAT IRELAND, the other Green Team!!

Instead of stretching and in Jamsheds cases laughing they should do intense fielding practice and if they misplay a ball made to do 100 push ups and run 10 laps. Then I assure you Jamshed will not smile but lose 50 lbs and also be a better fielder.

@Rizwan haider Sohaib Maqsood has done his bit so far. Akmal is better than all of them- just has to control himself.

@RC - Why shouldn't Jamshed train if he is in the squad? Even the coach takes part in training. Imagine half the team catches bug but Jamshed is fit??? So, chill...have an RC Cola!

ICC is not your 'kahala ka ghar' that without any reason e.g. injury allows you to replace a palyer.

why such media hype about this match ... Pak will sink Ireland INSHALLAH.
no hiccups - a straight clean win for Pak / matter of time only before we crush them... next will be Aus, then BD and finally NZ in finals... cup will be ours ...

@Acp Rathod you desperately want Pakistan out of the WC. You are so afraid now that Pakistan has got the momentum to win matches and later on could play againt India and win. You are so insecured now. This is from all of us PAKISTAN ZINDABAD.........
