[EXCLUSIVE] "You never know, I can take my retirement back": Imad Wasim

Good spell by Imad.

Still proving that he is the most economical bowler.

T20s if you can't get wickets, the alternative is to keep the runs down so you don't have to chase 200 runs.

I don't understand why this simple equation is being ignored.

Imad is not the best spinner in the world who spins it miles but he keeps it tight unlike others who may or may not turn the ball and get tonked for runs every match.

His competition is Nawaz and Shadab.

Let that sink in.

Unless Babar Azam starts bowling 4 over spells for 20 runs and turns into an all rounder, Imad shouldn't be compared to Babar Azam.

Babar had a SR of 100 on a pitch where others struck at 160.

And he is the best batsmen ever for Pakistan.

These truths need to be exposed now.
 
A mature Misbah like innings by hi today and was the reason why Islamabad won.

Deserves a back to back motm in the playoffs.

Good rotation of strike and no unnecessary hitting. Took singles and gave Haider Ali the strike when required. The best thing was he did not celebrate his 50 as it meant nothing unless until they won the game. Finally proved his platinum worth.

Kudos to Haider Ali aswell.

But this does not mean he was a good captain at KK and deserves to be back in international cricket.
 
That's Imad Wasim for you. Had an absolutely rubbish tournament but delivered in spades when the pressure was on and the team needed him most.

Finished the game off with a six when IU were chasing 228. MoM in the Qualifier and pretty much won the game for IU with his bowling in the powerplay. And what a performance today. First being absolutely miserly with the ball when everyone else was getting hammered and then to come out and play the innings that he played when it looked like Islamabad were down and out of the game. Bravo!

Its an absolute shame that we continue to waste his talents. Especially when he is one of the few players we have that know how to handle pressure.

The job isn't done though. Hopefully he comes through in the final too.

comparing apples and oranges. The position at which both bat are different.

Babar is an established international player that has a career and has alot of years left.

I think Imad can think about reversing his decision if Rizwan needs him as a lower order allrounder, but his career is just over now.

No more Misbah in t20 please! He played a better inning Thn Misbah can imagine. If he played Misbah type of inning! Islamabad would’ve been knocked out like that t20 World Cup lost vs India
 
@Mamoon

Be a man now, cause ik you have a habit of vanishing during these periods.

If your babar and imad agenda over? I kept telling everyone, Babar is NOT a t20 bat and sr is an issue and imad is still to this day pakistan's best lower order finisher.

@PakEngFan GG as well.

Now kindly let it rest here. And focus on MS vs IU game next.

Here we go again Imad played an excellent knock here let's not get overexcited. Imad had multiple opportunities for Pakistan and failed majority of them. He won't get such bowling at international level.
 
@topspin

Why do these anti propaganda haters vanish when we always stand our ground? Literally even when rizwan scored against Sri Lanka, we stood our ground and correctly predicted next 5 games he's gonna flop lol.
 
I rate Imad more than Nawaz. Seems like he has won the game like MSD by taking the game deep. More professional than most pak players i have seen in recent times.
 
Smart and gutsy move by Imad. He gambled on having a good PSL and has now taken back his retirement given he is back now in demand again.

He 110% deserves to back if we have jokers like nawaz and shadab in the team. That's all their is to say.

Either remove these pseudo allrounders altogether and find proper allrounders far superior to imad, or your point doesn't stand or isn't valid one bit.

We dont even need Nawaz, Shadab or Imad.

Shadab can only be required if if if he can bat in the middle order which is a big issue. If he cant do that than even he is not needed.

I want the likes of Abrar Ahmad and if Saim is regular with Ifti than they can share overs in between.

This aged well :ROFLMAO:
 
Imad's bowling in the 2021 T20 WC game against India is underrated. Just 2 overs but put Indian top order on a tight leash. Came out of the syllabus for our side who ain't used to spinners bowling with the new ball. If they had a run leaker to share the new ball, Shaheen' spell could have been seen out carefully, KL Rahul played a forceful shot against Shaheen because of the frustration created by Imad's first over. Stats don't tell the full picture, he may never have picked a wicket against India but he will be a bigger threat than someone like Nawaz or Usama Mir. Mentally tough, streetsmart chap, will do well on West Indies pitches.

Impact players will always be impact.

Imad has a higher ceiling than Babar in terms of SR and ending games.

Babar is a statistician's dream.

But he has zero output on deciding the fate of the match.

I would venture to say he is a poor man's Amla.

But Amla at least had something to show in tests.

Any spinner that can bowl that well in power play deserves praise. Peak Ashwin of 10 years back, Badree, Narine, Mujeeb all could bowl well with the new ball and created impact in this format. This gives the captain so much more flexibility, Imad is damn good with the new ball, his economy rate is brilliant.
 
The desperate attempts to compare Imad, a guy who has retired and has played a few games being compared to a guy who is going to end up in the hall of fame of cricket and still has 10 years left in his career.

100% agree and yet people were making fun of me when I said fakhar and saim shpuld open, imad shpuld be our middle order, usman Khan shpuld be given category A immediately and be drafted as pur front line keeper, Haris shpuld be pur no 6 at the very least in t20 etc etc.

Their all impact, and t20 is an impact game, it doesn't matter if their not as consistent as odi cannot be conflated with t20.

It's as simple as that.

Misbah will say something stupid and contradictory.

He'll say something like, I always knew Imad waseem was a proper finisher and should be drafted into our team.

Then he'll use Mamoon level logic saying what I said in the past doesn't matter, I am only concerned about the present. 😂😂, LOL, Mamoon made this statement hours ago and already its aging poorly.

Misbah, Rizwan and Babar obviously.
 
If not Shaheen, why not make Imad the captain for the upcoming T20 WC? Just a thought, because clearly for desi standards, he is at the very least above average IQ and merits selection. Also looks to be mentally strong.
 
As an Indian fan, worst case scenario for our WC game would be if Pak fields Shaheen, Naseem, Amir and Imad Wasim in the XI. And Saim as opener, can do a Fakhar of 2017 CT.

He's not just above average in IQ, he's probably the Smartest and most honest individual in our dugout.

The reason I and his haters( yes I'm including myself as well btw, since I don't want people to quote me and acting as if I contradicted myself) don't like imad or Amir is because their toxic individuals.

However in the case of imad( not amir) he's toxic but he speaks the truth, he isn't afraid to get booed by the crowd and then shut every single one of them up.

And Amir and imad being toxic because selfish players like babar and rizwan are stubborn beyond belief, doesn't detract from the fact that their 100x the players that babar or rizwan are.

Babar and rixwan are pure batsmen who batting wise are better then imad, but do they fulfil their role? Their top order batsmen, do they set the scene for the powerplay? Nope.

Imad is playing as a lower order finisher and bowler, and he does his job extremely well. So does Amir as a bowler.

Ifti is not superior in t20 to imad. He's a terrible bowler and in t20 he takes time before launching, considering the position he bats in at 6, he's a liability, unless you bring ifti at 4 he's useless, and the top order won't budge. Amd even so he's a finisher and a part time bowler, not a replacement to imad

Abrar is a frontline spinner, he's a replacement to shadab, not imad as abrar isn't a bat and neither is shadab who's pretending to be a batsmen but is basically just another shaheen at no 5. Even abrar at 11 in test has tonked a few and played cameos. In fact I think abrar batted better then shadab on some occasions lol.

Saim is an opening batsmen and his replacement is to break up the Bobby and rizzu duo, and provide bowling options, he's not a replacement to imd either.

Nawaz was brought in to replace imad, and since then pcb have not found a better replacement nor are they willing to discard nawaz.

Nome of the 3 you mentioned entered to replace imad, those comparison do not make any sense.

This game summed up the difference in the leadership and mentality of both Babar and Imad. One wilts under pressure and is a serial loser. The other stays calm and has a champion mindset.

Imad might only be a shade above average when it comes to his skills but the reason why he can punch above his weight is because he's got that elite mentality. He has the self-belief to outperform against anyone who's in front of him and this is evident by what he's achieved in his career. Pakistan would never have won the 2019 WC match against Afghanistan in his absence and his resilience was sorely missed in the same encounter during the last WC.

I vouched for Imad to be Pakistan's white ball captain in recent years because unlike the selfish duo of Babar and Rizwan, he leads from the front with his selfless approach. Unlike Rizbar, he's never pursued personal milestones and gone stat padding. Imad has always put the best interests of his team first.

There's a reason why Babar has never won anything as captain for Pakistan national side, U19s and nor in the PSL. It's because he's a serial loser.

In the PSL, he holds the record for taking his franchise to a record low of 1 win and 9 losses. No other PSL captain has been able to match this feat of his.

Completely agree, he's a poor man's Amla.

As I said earlier in the week, Imad is no elite cricketer. He's far from it. But. I defend him from toxic RizBar fans, who can't get over his honest assessment of Babar's captaincy credentials.

Great choice but for the first pair, I'd try my hardest to get usman Khan or tayyab tahir instead and have saud as a backup opener imo.

Actually wait nvm, saud can be makeshift, if a collapse occurs he can come in, but if not, you can send the others and saud provides an extra bowling option as well.

I think this is a good time to revisit your other gems on Imad as well:

We did not require Imad. Because we could had retained Ibrar.

Imad is a garbage cricketer, plus he is over valued in his category. Abrar was under valued, which meant we could had retained Abrar for more seasons. By next season Imad or some other Diamond/Plantinum player will have to be released to make adustments.
Click to expand...

What a terrible move it would be if Imad is sent packing to Islamabad. We dont need him. We already have one spinner that cant spin, no need for another one.

KK shifted Babar out to adjust Imad, they sent away Rizwan earlier. And now Imad gets traded. What a joke of a franchise.

I've seen you go crazy with your bashing of Imad during this PSL and also during last year's PSL. You were like a mad man. If you don't rate his cricketing skills that's fine, but you seem to be deep rooted dislike that you have of him. What is exactly your issue with him?

That is completly silly.

First off this is t20 and not odi.

Secondly imad fulfils his role in t20, being economical in bowling and finishing games. Last time he played a t20 was against Nz last year and he murked them.

Bobby doesn't do his job as a t20 opener, minus those c string 200 chases, Bobby's shining highlights of his career is his 10 wicket run chase against India which is instantly overshadowed by the fact that in that same tournament in the semi final he botched everything.

Fans have short term memory, what happened in this game happened in 2021 wc seminfinal as well.

When it comes to rizwan and Babar fans, history has been repeating itself every single year now but fans keep forgetting.

Trust me during the NZ series this year, fans will be super happy that Bobby and rizzu are bullying c string NZ, then they'll believe that Pakiatan is on top and going to win the cup, and that Bobby and rizzu have shut up their critics, only to once again et humiliated by India and get shoved and removed from the tournament in a humiliating fashion.

Bobby and rizzu fans are all on drugs and memory loss steroids man.

What good are thousands of 50s by Babar if he fails when it matters most.

Everyone was precisely laughing at India for losing the final when it mattered most.

Harsh truth is you are gauged by how you perform in big games.

Scores a clutch 30* off 13 balls to help ISLU successfully chase 229 to seal a position in the play-offs.

Eliminator 1: man of the match bowling display with figures of 3-12 off his 4 overs. He went at 3 runs per over, whilst the team conceded 174 at 8.7 runs per over.

Eliminator 2: another man of the match performance, this time with bat and ball. He produced figures of 0-23 with the ball from his 4 overs, which allowed ISLU to chase a total under 200. 200+ would have beyond their reach. Follows it up with a match winning half century to help his team go through.

And who ruined that career?

Why wasnt imad selected for last year odi series against NZ when he proved he was Mike's superior to Nawaz who was the replacement.

Imad's career being ruined is all political, it has nothing to do with his performances. Its the same thing as to what happened to sami aslam, dude was Miles better then shehzad when he made his debut. He got booted out for no reason by misbah, when he was brought back he wasn't the same performer as that one unfair drop crushed him completly.

It's all political drama at this point.

He produced figures of 0-23 with the ball from his 4 overs, which allowed ISLU to chase a total under 200. 200+ would have beyond their reach. Follows it up with a match winning half century to help his team go through.

And has won the game when it mattered most.

What good are thousands of 50s by Babar if he fails when it matters most.

Everyone was precisely laughing at India for losing the final when it mattered most.

Harsh truth is you are gauged by how you perform in big games.

Not JAMODIs.

Otherwise even Amla would be an ATG.

Haider Ali is a very talented player. He needs to be properly coached and backed by the management. That was a terrific innings during a run chase in an eliminator.
 
Isn't it funny how we make fun of India chocker tag but support rizwan and Babar for literally chocking in t20 semi or finals for the past 3 years.

Then again this year we aren't even making semi's with the team they'll send 😂😂.

The truth is Babar can have a thousand lives and he wouldn't be able to play a knock like this under pressure in a semi final of a T20 match.
