Does Mohammad Amir deserve a comeback in the ODI setup?

[Rana]

Best finishers in Pakistan couldn't chase 19 runs vs a minnow USA thats where we lost the match

Best batsmen in the country, for whom these liars spread so many lies telling us that Pakistan doesn’t have anyone besides these two (Babar and Rizwan) were hiding like cowards in the dug out to chase 19 runs in the super over against USA

 

[Rana]

What are you on about? You're taking the point i've made, completely ignoring it and then stating 2 new points. What has Babar flopping and Shaheen regressing have to do with Amir bowling the worst super over of all time or not toiling away in domestic?

He is absolutely correct

The kind of nonsense you are spreading made sense to your ilk 3 years ago when every type of deceit was being normalised! I am not even shocked to see you use the 2022 final as your proof that Pakistan was a good team destroyed.

You guys are clueless or deceivers. Which one is it?

Last I checked, Amir was struggling with international standard fitness for T20 Cricket. How will he last bowling ten overs a game? When was the last time he did that?

Last I checked,


What are your sources?

Pak has enough trundlers floating around like Mir. Last thing they need is, a has been Trundler getting spanked on the flat Pakistan wickets.

 

[Barragan]

No.

T20's only if he wants to represent Pak

It's not a conspiracy, the same Babar who flopped in the T20 WC 2022 we reached the final of. Shaheen is a great bowler and has been consistent across various tournaments.

The fact of the matter is, Imad and Amir came into the team, we lost to the USA courtesy of the worst super over ever by Amir and we lost to India courtesy of the worst batting performance ever by Imad.

The T20 team was pretty solid before both of them got introduced, it can't be a coincidence.

What are you even trying to say? Pakistan reached the final due to Babar failing? So why is Bobby even in the team then?

As for Shaheen, His consistency went down the drain in 2023 and 2024. Asia cup 2023, wc 2023, wc 2024. Jes been awful.

His last good game was asia cup Pakistan vs India, the first game where India got out for 260 but it was called off due to rain.

Afterwards game set and match for shaheen

This exactly!

 

[mominsaigol]

I hope everyone realises that by no means am I not blaming amir.

It would be dishonest of me not to blame him. But acting like shaheen didn't fumble his catch, Babar didn't play a horrible innings, The 2 goat batters didn't play a super over, chacha bumbled it as always and all that extra stuff is something I won't let agenda driven people pass by.

If you want to have the last word you can have the last word, no problem. However, I repeat - no one concedes 19 runs vs USA in a Super Over, that too with 3 ugly wides.

In spite of all that happened in that game including poor batting, fielding and bowling by others, it all boiled down to the Super Over and Amir held the fate of the match in his hands.

Considering his experience and reputation, he should have delivered for Pakistan in that moment. He didn’t just not deliver, he absolutely bottled it in humiliating fashion.

Amir fans wouldn’t keep quiet about his ability to deliver under pressure had he bowled Pakistan to victory in that over.

Similarly, they wouldn’t keep quieteither if someone else had conceded 19, and they would have been adamant that if Amir was there he would have won Pakistan the match.

It was embarrassing and he got badly exposed. End of story.

I don’t intend to have the last word or anything like that actually, I was just curious about your views, you seemed to praise Amir until he came back so it’s quiet odd really. And you can’t pin everything on him, he bowled the best spell off the tournament against the world champions and even Shaheen did not have the chops to face the USA, to me you ought to focus the criticism towards Babar’s captaincy, his batting, his treatment of his friends and ex-friends, and then Rizwan who was happy to bat in a soft scenario but not prove his salt when his country needed him most. If you want to put the blame on Amir for WT24, that’s fine, but look at the serial humiliations prior to that due to Babar, Rizwan and their buddies.

Last time I checked he was the highest wicket taker for pakistan in T20 WC24 and had the best econ rate out of all bowlers playing for pakistan

 

[JattMaula]

Generally I would say no to but Pakistan has so many unfit pacers right now that its not bad gamble (again).

If shaheen naseem harris and the rest were even 1% better then there is no room for amir in the team. But the current stock we have is worse then the gone past date amir

 

[Cricket Warrior]

well Amir and Hasnain with new ball could be a way better combo comapred to what we had before like Shaheen and Naseem.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

unfair to your domestic setup

 

[emranabbas]

unfair to your domestic setup

not unfair when babar, shaheen, rizwan, shadab, etc.. get picked without playing domestic?

not unfair on Sarfraz who has been grinding for years and winning tournaments in domestic?

Looks like pesky patriots have ‘ended’ Amir’s career, but not to worry, when is the next ICC tournie after CT 2025? they will get the the begging bowl out for that

 

[Kianig89]

Out of the blue Amir in reckoning for CT comeback
