Think it looks a bit one dimensional. no left arm or medium pace.

Key wants to fill the team with one dimensional bowlers that’s why.

It's to be half expected given the injuries but 2025 Archer is miles away from the 2019 version

They will persist, but he is absolutely hopeless imo, I actually went to sleep thinking we could lose this when we were still 78% to win.
Worst thing is he'll be thinking "That was a close battle" but the truth is if Ducky did his normal quick 50 and out we would have been roundly humiliated....again.
Is Toply injured or something?

Canny empty for the 2nd biggest rivalry in Cricket today. I hope that shows them that you shouldn't mess about with the integrity of a tournament or sport in general. Probably not though. Ignorant kernts.

I hate to be a broken record mate. But the way India are behaving is beyond ridiculous. Its gone way beyond being the new powerhouse and flexing your muscles. To something a lot more vicious and personal. They going on like a proper bunny boiler ex. If they miss them that much they should have never let them leave in 1st place. They were all one people only a generation ago after all.

Me too mate. I'm sitting here seething and my missus is giving me funny looks cos of my outbursts. "MFs, nice to be able to have hone matches in away tournys" " can't believe the Awabs have positioned themselves to have competive Pak Ind games when they haven't paid their dues.
All this corruption, hypocrisy, double standards, turning a blind eye to it cos of money. Will be the death of me.
It'd like a home game for the fuckers. Whereas it should be the most hostile pressurized atmosphere situation of their careers. The shameless sods not seeing the issue and claiming victories as the best thing ever. You should read the troll comments on bbc hys. Actually you shouldn't. It'll only raise your BP.

Prior to this game, the Indian press making ridiculous comments, saying Pakistan shouldn't have hosted the competition because there was no one there at the India v Bangladesh game.Well, someone posted it on X, so they showed the tweet and made a headline out of it.
Another bit of nonsense was Pakistan shouldn't host, cos the floodlights are bad, cos the NZ player got hit in the face trying to make the catch.
Papers full of Modi pictures, normally the rhetoric political against Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Lahore is only 10 miles or so from the border. It would have been so easy for a guarded corridor from the border by road, or even a short hop flight from Amritsar.
It's a disgrace.
Amped up paranoia against the Pakistanis, and Muslims in general in Modi's Hindu utopia.
Back to the cricket.
After the run out, looks like Pakistan trying to play it safe and probably lose with a respectable score on the board, rather than go for it and potentially lose big.
