This is probably the mindset that has the side in this mess today.A 10 wicket belting within 20 overs against these pissants
They have a great bowling attack and some talented batsmen. We've clearly taken them too lightly (which you'd think we'd have learned not to do after the WI Test debacle).

I'm just enjoying this great partnership from Pakistan now haha. Looking forward to getting out of here and going for a nice dinner in the city.

This has been an awesome innings to watch, a classic start slow, get your eye in and expand your shots once you pass 20

Hopefully Fraser-McGurk learns a lesson about how to bat in a ODI from Saim

There’s nothing wrong with a thrashing machine that only comes off every now and then. The key is having a decent one that is going to pay rich dividends on the days when he gets past 10-20.
Jayasuriya was the original long term thrashing machine (yes we had Greatbatch sent in to pinch hit in 1992 etc etc) and Kaluwitharana was the precursor to Sanath making the role his own but he was really the first just out and out long term opener to go up there without a care in the world and try and slog it. He passed 50 96 times in 450 matches or near enough and turned 28 of them into centuries. So even the very best at the role are not going to deliver all that often
Mind you he was also a very decent ODI bowler so he had extra value
But the question with someone like JFM is whether he is actually ever going to be good enough to deliver with even close to THAT sort of regularity and whether he can turn his 50s into 70s, his 70s into 100s etc
Called batting 101 a subject discarded in this country
His average isn't awful but i've never really thought Marnus was a very good short form batter. There just isn't much else better I guess.

Jayasuriya was more than a thrashing machine he had a good technique to keep out the good ones
Google Arsene Wenger on “technique”
In short
“If you haven’t got it by 16 you’ll never have it”

This isn't hacking at every ball. Plus he started slowly to get himself in. Was 6 off 24
Luck is apart of cricket, always has been.

AFTV bitching about Arsene when the gooners would get beaten at home was absolute gold back in the day.

They're batting under no pressure admittedly but they would have easily chased 300 looking at this.

If any team in the world is going to loose 9/25 from here...you know who it's going to be.

Think that is the definition of a consolation wicket

To be fair England also have a massive collapse in them
We finally get one, then a guy averaging 56 in this format comes in.
