Getting blasted is standard procedure for me. It is not a matter of days, weeks or months - it has been going around for years and years, and these days people sign up only to have a go at me, and certain dead souls resurrect from the graves under different handles to settle old scores. I try to let it slide like water from a duck's back, otherwise I would have quit years ago.
I will leave this forum one day but on my terms. There is a time and place for everything. Unfortunately, people only hear what they want to hear - they only look at message you are conveying without understanding the rationale behind your message.
I can somewhat relate with you to an extent. This 'xx was a fluke' reminds of your post where you claimed that Pakistan would be fighting with Nepal, Uganda, Kenya etc. etc. for the 2023 World Cup qualification. For years, people have given you stick for that post, without attempting to understand the logic behind your statement and the conditions that statement was made.
It has been 4 months now, and I am yet to come across a convincing argument to why the Champions Trophy was not a fluke. I think people are more annoyed by the word 'fluke' rather than the reasoning behind it. However, it can be explained in other ways. It was an extremely rare event where a low-skilled team gets the better of three superior teams in consecutive games.
It can happen, but it is an extremely rare event. Same Pakistan team in the same conditions would not win the Champions Trophy 9/10 times. For me, that is the definition of a fluke. People like to troll by giving examples of India fluking the 2011 World Cup because of the x number of dropped catches in the SF, but that Indian team would win the World Cup 8/10 in subcontinent conditions, if not 10/10.
Unfortunately, my belief was only validated by the hiding that we got in NZ, and we will get a similar hiding if we face India, England, Australia and South Africa in an ODI series anywhere.
The Champions Trophy does not mean that every Pakistan win in the future would be a fluke. This New Zealand T20 team is not that great. Half of their batting is dependent on the man who did not play today, and the other half was the man who took NZ close. Besides, the short boundaries lowered the gap between the two teams.
The likes of Sarfraz and Babar (Second T20) and Amin today scored at a rate that is quicker than their standard capabilities. PPers are doing bhangra over Amin's 300 SR, but it was built on some lollipop deliveries that even U-19 players will deposit on these grounds, not to mention the early reprieve that he got and the overall sloppy fielding of NZ which was uncharacteristic.
Amin is an ODI player not a T20 player. As far as Haris is concerned, I think he can be a capable hitter in this format. His main problem is his lack of stamina which has prevented him from playing big knocks in ODIs. However, in T20s, if he decides to take on the bowling from ball one, he can be as good an impact player as anyone in this Pakistan team.
Nonetheless, this T20 series should not distract us from the fact that this batting lineup is not good enough in the grand scheme of things. People have their eyes on the WT20 because of the x number of successive series wins, but this batting lineup will not take the team beyond the SF, and flukes do not happen all the time.
Mamoon is good at heart. He works as the devils advocate in PP, which keeps people on toes.
