Bengaluru, November 3

Pakistan’s chances of entering the World Cup semifinals hang by a thread, and director of cricket Mickey Arthur today made a blunt assessment of his side’s performance terming it well below-par.

The former champions must win against New Zealand tomorrow and against England at Eden Gardens on November 11, but they also need other results to go their way to reach the last-four stage.

“I’ll be brutally honest. I don’t think we’ve played to our full potential in this tournament. I thought the Bangladesh game (on October 31 at Kolkata) is the first game where we actually put a complete game together. I just hope that’s not too late for us,” remarked Arthur.

Arthur believed that his side was still in control of their fate in the showpiece.

“It’s come back in a funny way into our hands albeit we’ve to win big in both our games,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
