Captain Shahid Afridi has said that Pakistan’s batting is a cause for their poor World Cup.
Pakistan, bowled out for a paltry 184, were indebted to Afridi’s one-man show, whose leg-breaks earned figures of 5-23 and helped his team avoid the kind of upset they suffered against Ireland in the Caribbean four years ago. I wish I’d had a free bet on it!
Australia player Brett lee, 34 years old, is enjoying his World Cup games in India. Brett Lee has said: I have not been at my best in the longer forms of the game in India, but have done well in T20. I’m here to enjoy my cricket without expecting anything. Nobody expected me to return to the Australia side but here I am. The determination is still there.
The game is purely about batting. The batsmen just walk in and tee off.
