I know we suck big time but I’m pretty sure we will make it to quarter finals. Who do you guys think we will match up against the best?
I personally hope that we end up in the position where if we win quarter finals, we play India again the Semi’s.
Re: quarter final
why would you want to be heartbroken again by playing India the second time.? 
Re: quarter final
aa bael (bull) mujhe maar...
Re: quarter final
That’s what I really want.

Ek bar mein man nahin bhara kya, jo dubara maar khaani hai ?
Re: quarter final
Pakistan and India, BOTH making it to the semi-finals is far fetched.
Re: quarter final
If one has stamina, one can fetch from afar.
Re: quarter final

Re: quarter final
can we beat England or Sri Lanka in the QF? I have not paid much attention to them
Re: quarter final
yes. Pak CAN beat England but NOT Sri Lanka. :)
Re: quarter final
You have obviously forgotten who has spanked who more times overall. Look up the reoccurred and than see who is laughing.
Re: quarter final
Well Well Well .... Being brutally honest and considering they are playing in AUS/NZ .....
Reality from top to bottom:
Hafeez (although not in the squad), Nasir Jamshed, Ahmd Shehzad, Younis Khan, Haris Sohail, Sohaib Maqsood: Good for Asian pitches while batting first, Lack the technique for bouncier surfaces and at times simply the temprament is non-existent
Umer Akmal, Misbah: Good for all pitches, The one possess the technique, The other the temprament, however at most times both come in when the situation is dire, too much weight for both to shoulder
Afridi: PPL still don't get it that he isn't a batsman, He's simply a good ODI bowler who can slog and at times get away with it
Sarfraz: The only good WK but has yet to prove himself on boucier pitches
Junaid (although not in the squad): Well the only worldclass bowler at the moment
Sohail Khan: Well speed isn't his strenght but due to his height maybe line & lenght
Rahat Ali: Rather a gap filling option but hardly someone who's gonna scare top quality batsmen
Wahab Riaz: Good at times but then mostly too expensive, thus hardly a longterm option for ODIs
Yasir Shah: To early to say but needs a good mentor
Irfan: Seems like he has lost pace and this makes him easier to face
So going by that we've 2 Batsmen, and 1 1/2 bowlers + 3/4 all-rounder (Afridi) ..... Means basically: We're going into matches with 4-5 reliable PPL where as you need atleast 7-8 ..... Especially in ODIs (batting heavy) the declination is fatal ..... yet PPL wonder why this teams continues to lose in ODIs
Even in UAE NZ bounced our batsmen out ..... so why wonder when they fail in AUS/NZ ????

Bhai, itna ghusa acha nahi, koy baat nahi agr eak match haar gay haiN... ainda jeet bhi saktay haiN...
Re: quarter final
Ghusa nahi yaar … i’m trying to teach myself to keep the expectations as low as possible
Honestly speaking i expect **WI, ZIM and IRL **to give us hard time in order to qualify for the QF … coz if any of them manages to score **260+ **it’ll be a huge mountain to climb for our batting 
Re: quarter final
Well lets us just hope that we always win a toss and somehow post 290+ total or if we loss it, then we can restrict the opposition on 190 max.

Looking beyond the world cup and towards the latter part of this years we should have the following bowling squad:
Amir
Junaid
Ajmal
Sohail
Irfan
That is a formidable bowling unit. So no need to panic.
Re: quarter final
It will be better if Pak faces Eng in quarter finals. SL has good batting lineup, but still Pak will have a fighting chance.
