Babar Azam's problems in ODIs

[saadsahabjee]

People compare him with a champion player like Kohli who can turn good balls into bad ones and here we have Mr Azam who can't even play simple balls and rotate the strike . The result ? extra pressure on other batsman and they keep on losing wickets .overall his average is 55 but against top 5 sides (IND,AUS,NZ,SA,ENG) his avg is around 36 in ODIS.

As long as he doesn't deliver against the top 5 team, he cant be rated highly.

Minnows bashing is good but you gotta score against top teams as well. An average of 36 against the main teams is quite mediocre as of now. Rest of the teams are mostly minnows or borderline minnows.

Hes just playing from himself and getting big personal scores. Only scores quickly near personal milestones. Pathetic number of dot balls he eats up early on in his inns.

Bats like Shehzad. 70% dot balls in power play. Mickey needs to tell him it’s all fair and well playing his role of batting through the innings but he needs to rotate the strike more rather than hitting it straight to fielders.

Dont see any problem at all tbh. Usual knee jerk reactions after another pasting from india

He takes time to get in but bats at a good
Pace once in not every one can get going from ball one

 

[Xoib]

Seriously we will now bash a guy for getting run out when it was not even his fault

 

[saeedhk]

After so much duas, we got rid of Misbah. Now, we have have his reincarnation. A joke batsman.

Best batsman Pakistan had ever produced. People need to be patient.

Worst batsman Pakistan had ever produced. People need to be patient.

Ftfy.

Another knee-jerk thread.

Totally agree. The plan was to get 260 today and we went about it ok. Fakhar and Babar were unlucky to get out like they did.

Knee jerk thread

 

[dildilpak]

Seriously knee jerk thread like many others - remove Fakhar Zaman, remove Babar Azam, remove Sarfaraz, remove Asif Ali. All these internet warriors think that Pakistan have a great batting bench strength to replace these guys.
