Babar Azam's recent form

[Syed1]

Worrying signs for Pakistan. Babar Azam has chosen the worst possible time to get out of form.

His last few scores are:

0, 0 (second test WI)

55, 0 (third test WI)

1 (warm up against BD)


Our fragile batting line up needs Babar to be in runs for us to stand any chance in the tournament, specially since the other three blokes in the top four are Azhar, Shehzad and Hafeez.

Hopefully he gets a knock in the ongoing warmup and puts some runs on the board.

I think putting him in tests sort of messed up his mojo. Maybe should've come in lower so he got runs, or shouldn't have played him at all since after these tests it's the CT.

However it's times like this where this is a test of your true character, and it'll be good to see how he faces this mentally especially as it doesn't seem like we're gonna get a chance to bat with heavy rain in Brum

Including him in Tests has muddled his thinking in ODIs.

Btw I can't see him batting in this practice game today, as I don't think we'll be getting many over in, if any.

Nope. No result. Rain determined the resukt of the match.

Yeah most likely he would go into his first game against India on the back of three ducks and a single in his last five innings. Not good prep.

same group of people say including him in Tests has muddled his thinking in ODIs but same people say he has been ready for tests since 2014

It's good he has has got rid of his bad scores before the major tourny starts. Will only get better from here IA.

I think people expecting bit too much from him and he is getting the pressure.

Signs of being mentally weak?

he is just 21.. obviously he is not mature enough. Fans should leave him alone and let him olay his natural game.

Can't compare two different formats.

He'll be Pakistans highest run getter with multiple 100s.

This.He is good.But unrealistic expectations at this stage from him is putting him down.

Babar has been a failiure in England the last time he played here as well... don't think we are gonna see any improvement this time around... he's lost his moral support the Akmals due to fitness issues, he might be next in the line if this keeps up for another 6 months or so

Nice way of painting everyone with the same brush then...

 

[ask_analyse_act]

yes currently not among the runs but he is the best pak have had in the recent past at no.3...just give him time... ppl expect him to score evry match..

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Is due a big knock. So is Azhar.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Cut the guy some slack. He's been unbelievable in LOI's and everyone has a small, bad patch anyway. He's still the first person I would select in Tests.
