Australia (118/3) crush Pakistan (117) in 3rd T20I by 7 wickets, completing 3-0 T20I series sweep

[mominsaigol]

I don't rate Rizwan much in T20's either.

But he was good by our standards for 3-4 years.

He does not deserve the hate and undue criticism from some of our clueless fans.

Rizwan isn't guilty of blocking the likes of Travis head and buttlers from making it to Pak 11 as openers. If we had their likes no one could have stopped them from shining on international stage.

I'd be more than happy if we find better players than Rizwan and Babar.

Did you see the next best batting talent available in the country during this series? Farhan Salman Usman etc

The century that rizzu scored was against a D team SA. I checked. The bowlers are bowlers I haven't even heard of before and they have poor Numbers in domestics.

Like seriously who the heck is Latho Simpala ? And another bowler was named Junior Dala. I had to double check espncricinfo cause I was 100% certain I was on some fake website. Ain't no way this is a real name.

And if you look up their stats and performances, You'd realise these bowlers are a 100X worse then The ones JFM smashed for his fastest 100 in List A as well as many other lower tier ipl bowlers.

What's worse is that even in that innings, Pakistan only scored 169 and won by 3 runs. Rizzu's century was a very pathetic painful t20 century.

JFM is a hack and if you want to put him rizzu > Him in odi and tests then go for it.

But rizwan is a very poor T20 player who played one good innings in his life which features the 2021 India game.

Beyond this he's a very poor t20 batter. He may stick around linger then JFM, but he ain't doing anyone any favours with 80 to 120 sr in t20.

That maybe true. But there are guys with higher ceiling than Rizwan. Saim and Haris for instance.

McGurk was picked not only on his potential but also BBL and IPL exploits over the last year.

In this format at least, I predict he will leave the likes of Rizwan in his dust let alone Sahibzada.

Fakhar as an opener was a failure.

You get exposed here daily still u are besharam enough to live on this forum 24/7

Cricket isn't a stat sheet or a simulator. Nothing is set in stone.

If fakhar comes good then Pakistan wins, it's as simple as that. If rizzu cones good then their are no guarantees.

In terms of talent, Striking power, Potential etc etc, Their is not a single talent that is superior to Fakhar Zaman.

Fakhar is the greatest talent produced by this country since Inzi, Saeed, and all the other atg legends of the past.

No country in their right mind would ever throw fakhar away in any format for rizwan.

When you have an inconsistent player at your disposal but one who has had freak killer knocks in both t20, Test and Odi despite very little test and t20 playtime as an opener,

Then your first priority is to focus on how to get him more consistent because Potential wise none can match him.

Every other player who's good for pakistan such as Prime Babar, Saud shakeel in tests, Kamran Ghulam, Agha etc etc, their all medicore and well below international standards.

I win EVERY DAY on this forum because I have always fought for what I believe to be true! It’s you people that have had to work overtime to defend a con act and it makes my life so much easier! These types of humiliation are your destiny, not mine! I picked the path of honesty a long time ago and I will bare the fruits of my perseverance InshaAllah! Your lies and dishonesty will continue to be exposed!

Fact is Fakhar didn't perform to potential and when Riz got his chance as an opener he grabbed it with both hands.

All he grabbed was his mission to destroy Pakistan cricket with both hands!

The only Bollywood is your nonsense beliefs where Rizwan is better than McGurk.

Kya hua ? Why didnt you bumper dynamite opener thread today?

What did he do wrong? He smashed your Peeee ess Elll bowlers again. He’s done more in 3 games than Bobsy and Rizwan did together

 

[Rana]

What kind of Grade A idiot has an issue with how McGurk played in this series?

 

[jnaveen1980]

T20 requirement spectrum has widened. From par score of 150 to par score of 240. So there are times you have to bang bang upfront. You probaly need 3 or 4 players who can play at high strike rate preferably up the order.

 

[JaDed]

Pakistan cricket team takes one step forward 7 backward but still better than Bangladesh who take 20 steps back every year, so definitely not the worst T20 Asian team but still really need to start playing a different game.

 

[kron]

Always fun watching mamoons boy shaheen get smashed. The audacity to compare this fraud to shoaib akthar just doesn't sit well for me. I just can't seem to forget it

Also Bobbie should do some cake cutting? Congrats he scored 40 vs stoinis. A world class player in the mould of prime steyn with a touch of mcgrath.

 

[Kroll]

Aqib has been involved in T20 cricket in the PSL for nearly 10 years and this is the squad that he could come up with? Is this his “formula”?

The worst T20 squad I have ever seen from Pakistan. Aqib is a disaster and he will run Pakistan cricket into the ground.

Who do you want?

 

[ahmed16]

Surprised to learn this series was Salman Ali Aghas debut in the iT20 game, seems like he got the nod on the basis of being the limited overs vice captain . Hasn't exactly set the world on fire at domestic t20 level either, very Shoaib Malik like strike rate of 115.

Must be rated as a leader within the inner circles to get such a promotion in this particular format.

 

[Markhor]

Such a letdown after the ODI series. Although we're a while away from the next T20 World Cup, Pakistan look absolutely appalling in the format. No exaggeration to say minnowesque.

There's no guarantee we'll even beat Zimbabwe.

Why do you think is the reason pak beat england then went out to beat australia in odis which was quite an achievement then lost the t20 series why did they looked lost in t20 compared to odis they looked switched on any reason?

The ODIs were low scoring contests where our seamers utilised well the fresh, early season Australian pitches - giving our batsmen simple chases with no scoreboard pressure, hiding our deficiencies with the bat.

However T20 has exposed how one dimensional our batting is with a lack of 140+ SR hitters, while our bowlers sometimes overattack instead of using their defensive bowling skills. Also T20 format punishes fielding lapses the most. A result can hinge on a handful of balls. It cost us in Sydney when we chased at least 20 runs more than we should have.

To be fair, T20 is always a volatile format.

I think a team's quality is judged by how well they do in Test and ODI.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

If by grabbing you mean opening and playing at 100 SR to get a 50, yes no one can eclipse Rizwan in selfishness.

Other people want team to win.

Rizwan is all about "me".

 

[mominsaigol]

Fact is Fakhar didn't perform to potential and when Riz got his chance as an opener he grabbed it with both hands.

That's false because he got pakistan no 1 rank in the tri series.

Rizzu didn't grab anything with both hands. He was and still is a very poor t20 opener.

The only accumulator who actually got results in t20 was babar azam however that was when he was surrounded by power hitters like hafeez and fakhar during sarfi's era.

Hence he could accumulate and his 65 ball 100's in t20 without causing much of a fuss

With the current set up Babar gets exposed because he has no power hitter to hold his hand anymore

 

[BouncerGuy]

What a pathetic performance.

So it was not babar who was at fault, it was the other 10 guys who are pathetic to the lowest level.

Shaheen is a run machine still

Salman is not a t20 player.
Usman is a hack still, no worth it.

Gotta invest in jahandad and sufiyan more.

Sahibzada farhan is also a domestic bully

It's inevitable, need to blame the pickers as much as anything, anyone with half a brain could see this squad was mediocre and was never going to succeed. Then composition of the team was all wrong yet again, only leading to one thing, FAILURE and not the whitewash Rizzu was bragging about.
