Even then, Pakistan’s best keeper batsman for me is Kamran Akmal.
But his numbers suggest he was too inconsistent. There's no denying his ability but he had mental capacity of a 8 yr old
How could you have a mental capacity of an 8 year old and then smash 90 off 40 balls against Australia in a World Cup game? He wasn’t a great guy but there is NO DENYING his God gifted ability
That's whole of South Africa team they never win anything anyway.
Did you just compare Rizwan to Atgs?
.
Umar Akmal isn't great by any means.
.
Delusion
Sarfraz isn't a 3rd class cricketer lol, he is better then rizwan at the position he would play himself in for the team. Rizzu can't function anywhere besides opening or no 3 in t20. Sarfraz Doesn't have that issue.
Well, I don't know why he registered himself for the LPL auction because he was never a player suited for this format.
We did not deserve him. We deserve robots like Babar Azam. He's starting to sound like the lizard man at this point.
He was a Scholar and a Gentleman
Very rarely do you get a player who plays for the country.
Hafeez at No. 4 saved Hafeez's legacy. That was an absolute masterstroke. His innings in the CT final, for instance, was unbelievable.
Same Hafeez who was at the forefront snaking him in 2019 onwards after the regime change.
Yeah but he also snaked him later on. Hafeez is AlrightE but he isn't beyond himself either
Bro he's 37 his career is understably over.
I know he is 37 but still he is available for Pakistan for the selection so need to keep himself in a good shape otherwise u better know our management they just want to pick 1 excuse on which they can reject his inclusion and u know we cant bear any further traumas from Mohammad Rizwan.
The management will pick rizwan even if Pakistan has an Adam gilchrist in the ranks. That's how our management has historically worked.
Sarfraz got a reality check in Australia where he couldn't spot balls over 140 clicks. Hence his reason to state that Rizwan is a better player than him.
Pakistan is the only country where actual heroes like fakhar and sarfraz are thrown into the abyss and clowns like rizwan and chacha and misbah are praised into oblivion, Despite the former actually getting results.
Rizwan is horrible against spin so why not give sarfaraz a chance atleast for the home series because sarfaraz record on asian track is quite good.
No he'd not Miles ahead of Sarfi.
First time I agree with you
Rizwan and chacha are the useless players. Misbah did everything he could to make these 2 work and these 2 responded by sucking misbah off.
Yeah I remember his glory getting whitewashed for first time in UAE
Amd who was the coach and selector who achieved that nonsense? Who decided it was a good idea to send in Muhammad irfam to Australia? Or have Imam open againat sri lanka?
Yes that was his first test series with a team that was in building post retirement of Younis Khan. Never the less he was able to beat Australia and draw with England
Pure facts
This is the biggest problem with the community.
Sometimes I feel the person behind this account is Rakhi Sawant
Just letting you know Kamran Akmal was a better t20 opener then Rizwan even if stats don't suggest it.
Kamran Akmal was a poor keeper unfortunately and his fielding was even worse no doubt.
.
It’s better for Sarfaraz to say goodbye to international cricket now and focus on building his career in coaching because at this age I don’t think he can do anything extraordinary for Pakistan.
I hope PCB realises that fancy English and degrees don't determine good coaching and good players.
The bar is pretty low but can't take anything away from Rizwan.
Sarfraz is only useful in Asian conditions because he is a very good player of spin. His wicketkeeping though makes him a liability with the gloves. So if he plays he plays as a pure batter.
Should include UAE as home for Pakistan post 2009 to 17 because sarfraz time Pakistan play there as home vanue
He also averages 42 away from home, so he is on his way.
still not a big difference on paper between both of them but yeah rizwan has better impact.RIzwan proving him right for sure.
It's a sad day in hell when people start talking about shadab and Rizwan's specilaist fielding antics to justify why these 2 are superior to CT winning wk captain and a CT no 4 hafeez allrounder who actually won the damn thing.Just another reason why rizwan is better than Sarfaraz.
This is about tests, brother. And rizwan is way ahead of Sarfaraz here.
Don’t think so . Rizwan has done well in Australia that’s about it . Sarfraz has played quite a gem knocks under pressure . Centuries against likes of hearth on spinning lankan pitches , last year man of series on come back . Saved a test match . Sarfraz has had more impactful innings . Rizwan has scored runs but not really so impactfulJust another reason why rizwan is better than Sarfaraz.
Performances in Pakistan... no way to judge anyone!
Had Pakistan pulled off the chase in NZ where Rizwan scored 130 odd, that innings would have been something Sarfaraz would never have achieved or replicated
Sure, but if that is the case than we cannot make any judgement about Rizwan considering 2 out of his 3 tons have come in Pakistan (both draws)
If I say No, you'll say stats, if I say Impact, you'll say Rizzu is mainstay, if I say Misbah, you'll say Shan, If I say Parchi, will you finally say Rizwan?
Rizwan alone as a keeper is better than sarfaraz. He has nothing else left to prove. Sarfaraz is past now. He was good but is not better than Rizwan by any means.
What happened in the super over against USA? Where did Rizzu's keeping skills flop off to? Actually can you explain why such a goat keeper can't read DRS for the life of him?
