Further dismay for Pakistan after completion of England v Sri Lanka game with SL winning

Right now while I am typing these lines, I just came from my work, 8.25 pm in evening Pakistan Time and Sri Lanka won another comfortable scalp against England, (keeping in mind, both teams were head-to-head in world cup games, but today that stat too must have got on the favor for Sri Lanka)

Furthermore, this match hurt Pakistan's chances for qualifying, because right now while I am writing these lines, Pakistan slipped into 5th position, and right now South Africa game (which is tomorrow) is utmost importance, because not only Pakistan requires to win, but while conceding less amount on runs with having more amount of deliveries used by opponent, i.e., South Africa, which is literally impossible, keeping in mind the form Proteas are playing right now, hence I personally not expecting much off this Pakistan's further CWC campaign.

Story of NRR after tonight's game

After tonight's game, as we all are seeing, that four teams, which includes India, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia respectively, which are being shown above the horizon, whereas first team below the horizon is Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh England and the Netherlands respectively.

Points table position after tonight's game


England should pack their bags now

As per current standings and games remaining, where all teams have played 5 games each, hence 6...7...8...9; altogether 4 games are remaining, and even if England wins remaining four games, maximum England would score, is 10, and right now while India, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, who have completed their 5 games benchmark, they are already on respectively 10, 8, 8 and 6 points, hence even if above mentioned teams only win single game off their remaining 4 games, India is going to score 12, South Africa and New Zealand going to score 10 whereas Australia is going to score 8, (*although hypothetically speaking, but this isn't possible realistically speaking) because while scoring 10 points, England would definitely have to work heavily on their degraded NRR, keeping in mind during 2019 Cricket World Cup, Pakistan won't able to recover the dent it suffered against West Indies, as I have been mentioning again and again, New Zealand was able to taste Semi Final, due to a SUPERIOR NRR, although Pakistan's also not out of the jail, but I personally do not want myself to be further tortured watching Pakistani batters not able to accelerate tactically, unlike previously while I was listening to podcast where Moin Khan was referring to 1999 where they initiated this strategy yet he was emphasizing that we had Abdul Razzaq and Azhar Mahmood to accelerate, but here in this team, I am only seeing Iftikhar who has capability to take game on its head. Take his wicket and find Pakistan toothless, that's why I personally referred Pakistan playing style as "torture."

As per Shoaib Malik

In these Indian playing conditions, the grounds where par score is 350, they are eying score excess of
370, and so on so forth, whilst in the case of Pakistan, when par score is 320, you tend to eye over a score of 280, which was the case during humiliating defeat against Afghanistan, although taking nothing away from Afghanistan, but let's be brutally honest, we were definitely monotonous in applying whatever approach, although some might argue that we should go towards likes of Sarfraz etc. I get it where such thoughts are arising from, but the fact is instead of looking for short term approaches and earning goodwill within short span of time; why can't we think for the longer run and think for a continual and longer run approach? Longer runs approach clearly means non-attention-seeking temperament, because as I mentioned earlier, Indian conditions definitely exposed this fact that we are lacking late innings onslaught otherwise they are moving on the same criteria we used to play during 1999 CWC, but even if Pakistan is trying to incorporate the same strategy in this world cup, how are they going to achieve the same while having only single clean hitter in the middle order (read Iftikhar) furthermore spin bowling of Pakistan is definitely a big question mark.

Attention seeking syndrome

One thing which definitely taught me something about Pakistani nation, (although metaphorically and hypothetically speaking) not everyone should be regarded as attention seeker but the masses who're representing Pakistan are bunch of attention seeker, although I should not mention his name, but being a fan of Cricket game, I have to mention his dedication to game of cricket, when I mention the name of Rahul Dravid for grassroot cricket in India, how many of our former players have invested their times in domestic cricket?
How much PCB emphasized on foreign coaches for domestic cricket and domestic teams of Pakistan, and furthermore how much development work WAS done in Pakistan domestic cricket?
Let alone infrastructure of Pakistan cricket, India is right now holding solely a 50 overs cricket world cup, unlike previously when it was jointly hosted in 1996 between India-Pakistan and Sri Lanka and in 2011 between India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, this time all 48/48 games are being hosted within boundaries of India, where apart from Hyderabad who is hosting 3 games, remainder of all the venues are hosting 5 games each, can we expect the same for Pakistan, how many international cricketing venues are there in our cities? how much have we developed our infrastructure? 2 stadiums currently renovated in Peshawar are nothing, we require more international standard domestic games hosting venues in Pakistan, but such things could only be achieved, if we think other then attention-seeking "me-only" syndrome, we have already wasted a lot of time, now we require to grow up.

Importance, maintenance and confidentiality of Pakistani Cricketers DATA

Importance of Data

In modern cricket, data analytics plays a crucial role in helping teams gain a competitive advantage. From selecting the right players to deciding on the best tactics and strategies, data analytics is a tool used by coaches and teams in franchise cricket and international to make informed decisions.

Maintenance of Cricketers' Data

Cricket is a team game, and in every cricket match, an enormous amount of statistics is generated in terms of player, team, game, and season. Therefore, the application of advanced data mining technique is yet to blossom to its full potential in this sport. Statistical analysis of the updated cricket data has become both necessary and beneficial for policy-formation and decision-making process. But unlike other sports such as basketball and baseball which are well researched from a sports analytics perspective, for cricket, these tasks are yet to be investigated in depth (Sankaranarayanan, Sattar, & Lakshmanan, 2014). Application of analytical methods in the field of cricket is termed as ‘cricket analytics.’ It empowers cricket teams to make the right strategy and accurate decision about a game that is well known for its unpredictability. Thus, this book focuses on how data mining techniques, viz. Bayesian, neural network, and regression, can be applied to sports (especially in limited overs cricket) in the form of performance measurement, pattern discovery as well as outcome prediction.

The main focus of this book is the performance measurement of cricketers using statistical and data mining tools. The other objectives are derivatives of the performance measurement of cricketers. Many statisticians and data analysts have used different statistical tools and techniques to analyze cricket data. The other aspects of cricket where the significant application of statistical and data mining tools is used include team selection, target resetting in rain-interrupted limited over matches, the impact of technological advances, the impact of home advantage, and toss on the outcome of the match.

Confidentiality of Pakistani Cricketers Data

Such news breaking which might hamper Pakistan's interests should be treated as something not suitable for Pakistan, which is now a trend in Pakistani media, that we broke it first, we are required to get rid of this attention seeking and think on logic, because if you want to achieve fame, fame is only when Pakistan does well and Pakistan can only do well, when we respect ourselves, and by ourselves I mean, those who're playing, bygones are bygones, but we require to carry a good part of us with us in future and for that we all are required to achieve the same by acting sensibly and acting like Pakistani, unlike today where we have been acting as if ہم اور پاکستان instead we should have been thinking as پاکستان اور ہماری حرکتیں things are going to evolve where in the ebb we lie when it comes to respecting the country and country's interests.
