Pakistan are the fifth most populous country in the world, cricket is their number one sport, they should be better…

Tbf mate. They are normally better than this. They were number 1 ranked in odi just weeks ago. Looks like the pressure and injuries got to them. I'm not going to disrespect them by saying spot fixing etc, cos these bunch of lads are just like us, nee bad bone in them. Just reckon the occasion and situation got to them. Bcci made it very difficult for them too...... must be hard playing in a country where no fucker wants you there. I'll always have a soft spot for them, just on the premise Bcci hate them.

They've pretty much played the game as outcasts for the last 15 years.


24/1.

That means if you put a tenner on you'll lose £10.

Thanks Paddy for backing my point up. Being total outcasts by the big 3 isn't to be sniffed at. Add to the fact they couldn't play at home for years and the biggest team doesn't play you. Does have an effect. Imo of course they have done remarkably well to stay relevant. I am biased though.......

I arbour injustice and bullying.

Where the hell has Mitchell been the rest of his career. Looks like he could end up averaging 50 in tests and ODIs by the time he retires and he only really came onto the scene about two or three years ago.

The NZ coach has long been slated for picking his favourites and refusing to give younger players a go.

Nicholls kept playing ahead of players like Mitchell and Ravindra.

Still a lot of batting for the kiwis. These two going to have to bat at least 10 overs here though.

Their best players never get to play in the IPL either.
 
Oh! Just checked Netherlands vs Bangladesh score. See Netherlands are struggling badly. Seems crazy now that they beat South Africa. Just shows anything can happen. Why, even England might win another match.
