"As a captain and leader, you must lead by example and make sacrifices yourself": Mohammad Rizwan

[khyberlion]

The Muhammad Harris you're talking about has been seriously struggling lately. In his last 10 innings, he's got more single-digit scores than anything impressive, and even against teams like India A and Oman, he couldn't deliver. and you want him playing internationals lol

look at Haseeb, Farhan, and Usman Khan. They've been in great form, especially in the recent Pakistan Cup, where they all outperformed him and all have 60+ average. That’s the main reason they’ve earned their spots in the squad over harris.

Ghazi Gouri hasn't even played 10 first-class matches yet, and there's already talk of him being included in the squad? lol That way too early.

Maaz Sadaqaat, sure, he’s got potential, but he still needs to prove himself in the domestic circuit. same with Hasan Nawaz and Farooq, they haven’t even stepped into domestic cricket properly yet and you want them in internationals. too early for them, first they have to prove themselves at home first.

I hope this was a joke reply lol, because this can't be serious and if your serious then don't ever talk to me again
because you have no sense what so ever, these guys first need to prove them selves in Domestic, PSL, A tours then they can play vs Australia in Australia

Once again you have missed the point as usual because you jump to conclusions. You asked about talented players, I didn't say get them in the team right away. These are the players who should be developed not 30 year old without much potential who you are asking to be developed now.

Very rich of someone to talking about Mohammad Harris scores when I have actually stumbled across you wanting a guy to replace rizwan based on 1 innings. I hope that was a joke.

We are discussing the current issue and replacement of haseeb farhan and usman so no jumping the gun from me again name me replacements of haseeb farhan and usman
Who should have played in Australia instead of these the

Who raza ul mustafa that was a sarcastic post if your so naive not my problem

Haris
Saim
Abdullah

Now you give me a replacement for rizwan and Babar? I wouldn't put it past someone who is asking for 30 year old to be developed by foreign coaches.

In fact your first post was to replace him with Rizwan for t20s and odis after that knock.

 

[emranabbas]

Haris
Saim
Abdullah

Now you give me a replacement for rizwan and Babar? I wouldn't put it past someone who is asking for 30 year old to be developed by foreign coaches.

you apparently have an "eye for talent" have you still not figured out that saim takes his time to get going even in odi's so he's better suited in odi. He has played over 25 t20'S and hasn't been successful. And in odi's he's been solid
Same with Abdullah infact he's poor in odi's too.

Fakar, usman, omair yousaf, tayab tahir, asif ali, sahibzada, haseeb, rohail nazir, abdul samad, ararat minas,

Are all good enough to replace rizwan and babar no particular position.

Again you missed the point as usual. These guys have far better potential than farhan, Usman, haseebullah. Saim as poor as he has been still got similar numbers to Usman Khan and far better than farhan and haseebullah albeit smaller sample size.

Thanks for letting us know that Tayyab tahir etc replace Babar etc. Another poster who claims to be watching cricket from 95 think Tayyab their can replace Babar and Rizwan. I take that you don't have much clue about cricket.

No, I haven’t missed the point, but it seems like you’ve built your entire argument on just three T20 matches played in Australia. That’s far too narrow a sample size to make sweeping judgments about players or their abilities.

By your logic, which appears to rely purely on numbers, Usman Khan would be considered a better batsman than Babar Azam simply because he outscored him in this series. Does that really make sense to you? Cricket, especially T20 cricket, is far more complex than just tallying runs across a few games.

Do you even watch cricket, or do you only look at scorecards and assume you know it all? Watching cricket and understanding it are two very different things. If you genuinely follow the game, it’s clear you lack a proper grasp of its nuances.

Babaris a Rubbish t20 batsmen and that's a fact
T20 isn't about averages it's not bloody tests or odi's it's about who make use of the balls played

Do you understand what a powerplay is and why it’s such a crucial phase in T20 cricket? Do you know the significance of a strike rate and how it needs to balance with innings-building to maximize the value of every ball in a limited-over game? With only 120 balls in a T20 match, pacing an innings effectively and capitalizing on scoring opportunities is an art, not something you can dismiss with one-dimensional analysis. Clearly, these are concepts you’ve overlooked or simply don’t understand.

So, let me make it clear: don’t engage with me on cricket if you don’t have a solid understanding of the game. I don’t have the patience or inclination to lower myself to your level and explain the most basic elements of the sport. If you can’t grasp these fundamentals, this conversation is a waste of time.

Yes Tayyab tahir is better than Babar Azam and Rizwan along Rohail Nazir, sahibzada Farhan and Raza ul Mustafa. I won't be engaging with someone who has no clue about cricket in general. For someone who has watched cricket from 95 has no idea about cricket.

Muhammed harris lol
Abdullah in t20's
And nobodies who haven't played more than 10 domestic games says it all

One name Raza ul Mustafa says it all.

Is that suppose to be a roast? it was a sarcastic post, would even take raza ul mustafa in the squad over rizwan. Thats the level of rizwan

Here you go again Raza ul Mustafa you said it again. A guy who can't get into domestic teams lol.

 

[emranabbas]

Here you go again Raza ul Mustafa you said it again. A guy who can't get into domestic teams lol.

And still better the rizwan

 

[khyberlion]

And still better the rizwan

Is that what you have learned from 30 years of watching cricket? Such a waste. You had a problem with me suggesting domestic players with potential who I didn't even want in the national colours, but don't have a problem with a nobody like Raza Ul Mustafa. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Me and Rana sarcastically said we’d even take Raza-ul-Mustafa over Rizwan. In case you’re unfamiliar with sarcasm, it’s when you make a statement that’s deliberately exaggerated or absurd to mock or highlight a point.

You just said it again plus I want rizwan out of the t20 team. Let's not ignore the fact when I suggested potential players who need to be developed. You translated that into me wanting them in Pakistan colours. Practice what you preach.

Seems like you don't understand the meaning "sarcastic" it's OK don't worry

 

[khyberlion]

Seems like you don't understand the meaning "sarcastic" it's OK don't worry

So Rohail Nazir, Tayyab tahir being better than Babar is also sarcastic?

 

[emranabbas]

So Rohail Nazir, Tayyab tahir being better than Babar is also sarcastic?

You asked me replacement for babar and rizwan I gave you replacement. At some point someone will replace Babar and rizwan it's not like Babar and rizwan are going to play cricket untill they go in their grave and then their soul is going to come in the cricket field and play for them

 

[khyberlion]

That was not the question. So Rohail Nazir is better than Babar?

 

[khyberlion]

It is because I need to explain what sarcastic means so was thinking try to explain it to you in urdu or punjabi because you've not understood what I wrote atleast 3 times

So what language shall I explain it to you that the players I mentioned have potential rather than them being included in Pakistan team right away?

 

[emranabbas]

So what language shall I explain it to you that the players I mentioned have potential rather than them being included in Pakistan team right away?

I asked you for replacements for now and you started mentioning kids who have not played 10 domestic games lol that's the most pathetic thing ever

 

[emranabbas]

That was not the question. So Rohail Nazir is better than Babar?

Give him a long run like Babar and rizwan has yes he can be better

 

[khyberlion]

I asked you for replacements for now and you started mentioning kids who have not played 10 domestic games lol that's the most pathetic thing ever

Then I gave you 3 players who won't do much worse, you had a problem with the kids but not a kid like Rohail being better than Babar. I can't believe someone can say that with a straight face.

 

[emranabbas]

Your comparing rohail who has played 164 domestic games with someone who has played 10 domestic games

 

[khyberlion]

Give him a long run like Babar and rizwan has yes he can be better

So Rohail can be better than our best wk in history and one of our best bats. Let's leave it at that as you clearly don't know anything about cricket.

 

[khyberlion]

Your comparing rohail who has played 164 domestic games with someone who has played 10 domestic games

Just get out of the way your waste of time

I know I am waiting my time with some who thinks Rohail Nazir is better than both Babar and Rizwan.

 

[emranabbas]

So Rohail can be better than our best wk in history and one of our best bats. Let's leave it at that as you clearly don't know anything about cricket.

Rizwan has played over 100 t20's just list me 10 games that Rizwan won for pakistan single handedly vs top teams

No c strings teams and minnows lol

 

[BouncerGuy]

Please stay on topic and no personal stuff.

Pakistan cricket team captain Mohammad Rizwan has donated his wicket-keeping gloves and shirt to the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Museum.

Rizwan made the donation following the second T20 match between Pakistan and Australia, which was played in Sydney. The museum's management expressed their gratitude to Rizwan for his generous contribution.

It’s worth noting that the second T20 match between Pakistan and Australia took place on Saturday at the SCG, where Australia defeated Pakistan by 13 runs.

Another new tamasha, nobody in australia cares who rizwan is

 

[mominsaigol]

Another new tamasha, nobody in australia cares who rizwan is

But but but, Pointing said he'd be able to win a world cup if he had 6 Rizwan’s in the squad?

 

[Mamoon]

No matter how much his zero IQ haters cry, the reality is that Rizwan is the GOAT Pakistani WK batsman. Those who watched Moin, Latif, Akmal and Sarfaraz will testify to this. As an overall package, he is easily better than all of them.

Moin was an average keeper and a decent batsman. Latif was a phenomenal keeper and a poor batsman. Akmal was a poor keeper and an average batsman.

Sarfaraz was a decent keeper and a decent batsman. Rizwan’s keeping is brilliant, only behind Latif and his batting is better than all of these guys.

That automatically makes him one of the finest cricketers in Pakistan history and the most valuable cricketer in Pakistan right now.

In addition to this, his captaincy skills are impressive. I thought he lead the team brilliantly in the ODI series and caused a lot of pain for his haters. In the T20Is, the squad that Aqib gave him was farcical. Easily the worst T20I squad I have seen.

Pakistan has the opportunity to have its most successful period in white ball cricket under his tutelage but he will need to be supported by the selectors. As far as his zero IQ haters are concerned, they will cry no matter what.

If Rizwan plays he is being selfish. If he drops himself to give someone else a chance, he is being a coward, so he cannot win. However, no one should care about the opinions of these ignoramuses.

Genuine Pakistan cricket supporters should be proud of having Rizwan in the team because he will be remembered for generations to come as the finest WK batsman in Pakistan history.

 

[emranabbas]

Rizwan is so overrated,

Funny how some people actually think Pakistan will never ever produce another player like him.
That is just laughable bet your grand children won't even know who rizwan was

Pakistan’s always had better players and will keep producing them. The hype around him is just nonsense by a handful of people.

Maybe a better wicket keeper at the moment but a rubbish batsmen and captain.

 

[Rana]

The greatest wicket keeper batsman of all time! He will be remembered for generations upon generations!

 

[Snowflake]

He won’t, he is controlled by Misbah co

As much as I despise Misbah, I can't blame him for this lol!

This is classic Rizwan. Just looking for an opportunity to portray himself as the most selfless guy in the team.

 

[emranabbas]

The greatest wicket keeper batsman of all time! He will be remembered for generations upon generations!

He disappeared after that innings, probably didn’t want to embarrass himself any further, lol.

And then he went on to gift his shirt and gloves like he dominated Australia in their own backyard, when, in reality, nobody even knows or cares who Rizwan is.

embarrassing stuff

No matter how poor Misbah was in white-ball cricket or how questionable the culture he brought in was, at least he dominated in Tests and earned respect

Rizwan isn’t even worthy of lacing up Misbah’s shoes.

 

[mominsaigol]

Tbf Misbah inherited a team. The squad kinda just picked itself. Misbah was awful at building teams, He got exposed in t20 and odi circuit on multiple occasions.

During Misbah's era the opening was always a mess with shehzad fizzling out day by day and hafeez not being very good.

Azhar Ali and Younis had been batting in tests way before Misbah got captaincy and were mainstays. And during Misbah's era, Before sarfaraz Adnan Akmal was a horrible test batter and would frequently expose the tail.

It really was azhar Ali and Younis carrying the team. When sarfi came things changed around 2014.

The only thing that Misbah tried in tests was Yasir Shah and Asad Shafiq. Both of these 2 were crap whiteball players but somehow worked in tests.

Otherwise the likes of gul, Saeed Ajmal etc they all picked themselves.

You could literally have Shan Captain that Team and he'd be praised as the most succeaful captain as just with sajid and Nouman, Shan would just spam Saeed Ajmal, Zulfiqar Ali Babar and Hafeez over and over again.

Infact many bowlers from that era that misbah selected like rahat Ali were crap.

Misbah was lucky to have YK in the same way Shan is lucky to have saud who's a natural against spin. And both are lucky to have gun spinners on spin paradise pitches of which they can spam on end

 

[zarak]

Why didn’t he sit out against Ireland in the dead rubber of the T20 World Cup?

He wasn't captain so there was no need to be the savior.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Mohammad Rizwan during press conference ahead of 1st ODI against Zimbabwe:

"I have been captaining at different levels for a couple of years. But yes, captaincy in domestic, club cricket, and departmental cricket is different. I also captained a side in franchise league, which is a little bit similar to the international level. However, there is definitely a different pressure at the international level."

"For example, if we see the PSL, there are five captains and here they playing under me at the international level. I feel lucky because everyone is playing like a captain. I give authority to every batter, bowler, youngster, and senior. Wherever the team demands, we all come together to meet that demand. This is what I am demanding as a leader from everyone. As I said earlier, I am only here for presentations and tasks; otherwise, my whole squad is the captain."

 

[Kianig89]

Rizwan needs to improve his batting now, all the personnel resonates with his mindset.

Aqib Javed the coach, Azhar Ali the Dir Game Development and other selectors like Asad Shafiq and batting coach Shahid Aslam, add to it he always has the back of Misbah as mentor

Try explaining to your fans that you’re not cut out for captaining an international side. It’s a completely different challenge compared to leading in domestic cricket or the PSL.

Pat them on the back and drop them for the next series

Two odi series wins well done.

Looks like I will have to bat against this Pakistan side to score 400+

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Two odi series wins well done.

this zimbabwe series they should have won 3-0..

 

[shah9425]

Although Tayyab Tahir is NOT a youngster

Another great gesture

 

[shamaan]

this zimbabwe series they should have won 3-0..

I agree however they made a strong comeback.

 

[Rana]

Great sacrifice by captain as Tayyab faced 16 balls on this tour

 

[Farabi]

Great sacrifice by captain as Tayyab faced 16 balls on this tour

Yup was pathetic to see Tayyab Tahir not getting a chance to play through this tour, specially during the last game.

 

[BouncerGuy]

What type of sacrifice people are expecting for riz?

He dropped himself from third t20 and we were even more pathetic in that game.

Tayyab should have played more but HAseeb (I DONT KNOW WHAT THIS GUY HAS) killed his spot. in 2nd game, it was a 10 wicket win in third, Tayyab could have been sent earlier but the salmon saga worked as well so the decision proved right as far as runs are concerned.

 

[shaz619]

Biggest sacrifice Rizwan will ever do is changing positions for Babar
