What's new

Fakhar Zaman becomes the fastest to 1000 ODI runs (18 inns) breaking previous record of 21 inns

How are Indians trying to make us feel bad about the quality of sides we play against, when they themselves never bother to agree to a series with us. You guys have no right to cry about our opponents , when your board or govt or whatever already limits the number of opponents we can have to begin with.

If only BCCI agrees for Aane Do 2.0 series...

They arrange series in India on flat phattas every year against minnows to boost their averages and when they go overseas to England they flop.

If Pakistan had home matches majority of our batter would be averaging 45+

Thats why their bowlers average well over 30, playing on flat tracks to boost their averages.
 
It's sad how much this thread is triggering India. Some people said Indians have a great batting heritage so they won't care about Pakistan batsman but this thread shows how much they care.
 
FYI Ajit Agarkar obliterated the record to reach 50 wickets in ODIs by bettering the record set by Dennis Lillee. Ajit bowled in india on flat, docile pitches most of his life, especially at the start of his career.

If anything, a good beginning is not suggestive of a good career, Ajit being the quintessential example.

In fact in the annals of cricket history with the rare exceptions of say Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid and Michael Hussey, few batsmen who started their careers with a bang ended up with highly successful careers.

Agarkar OD record is still very good.
 
Fakhar is about to break Viv Richards record which has stood since 1975.

400+ runs of those runs will have come against this Zimbabwe team in 5 games.

Does that sound fine with you?

Yes because he did score these runs, they were not gifted to him.
 
no issue with it being against zimb

still a team
still a good inning
could have fell at 40 etc

Agarkar was a decent Indian bowler - at least limited overs he was. Good pace but probably lacked decent Yorkers at the death that could have made him a top bowler.
 
Meh, the way things are it will probably be broken a couple of times in the next decade.

If Pakistan keeps playing UAE, Hong Kong, and Zimbabwe, good chance of Fakhar breaking fastest to 5000 runs as well.

UAE defeated a full strength Zimbabwe team in the WCQ and the team which is currently playing against Pak is a third string.

Imam already has passed 500 after 9 games, if you extend this series and play UAE he could break it and you'd have 1 and 2.

A bit comical, but whatever. Batting records have been tumbling a lot lately, it would just be another.

Fastest 100 was broken twice in 2 years after Afridi set it long back. It's just the way the game is now.

Happy birthday champ!
A true hero who will always be remembered for the epic phainta he gave to the parosees.
