Has Babar Azam hurt his long term reputation beyond repair by accepting the Pakistan limited over captaincy yet again?

[JaDed]

He will never be Sachin of Pakistan.

He will never be Sachin of Pakistan.

its better to say that he could never ba a kohli of Pakistan otherwise sachin also had the same story as a captain.

Sachin turned down captaincy. It was a voluntary decision. Everyone else was inexperienced.

 

[daytrader]

I just hope that Babar and Rizwan rest for the New Zealand series. That way everyone can see how important they are once New Zealand beat us black and blue

 

[kingusama92]

If the team gets destroyed in the coming series and the WC, he will have done serious damage to his reputation. It will get even worse if he doesn't bat well.

Once you get greedy for power, you have to show up or people turn on you quickly.

Babar and Rixwan were rested for the Afghanistan series and we saw what happened. humiliation. so everybody saw what this team is without them

People are very blind these days. I am not sure when they will start praising a player we never had before in last 2 decades.

That's not fair because our full strength team got humiliated by Afghanistan as well.

It takes patience and some time to build a team.

That team should have been persisted with for some team.

We managed to win one game whereas pur full strength team also got butchered by Afghanistan?

I don't see what your exact point is?

Afghanistan is ironically superior to us, their just chockers.

From 2014 to 2024 they should have beaten us in all tournaments. But it was always some no ball, or some bowler giving 5 wides etc that caused them to lose.

In tournaments we never beat them, they lost to us because they threw it away.

Even in that 3-0 series we had, it should have been 2-1. They threw away the game where they got 3-0, Giving away 5 wides, and having a trundler bowl at the death.

In the world cup, all they did was get rid of their no 1 chocker bowler who's been causing defeats for them and stopped fearing us.

The point is really simple: we are a weaker side without Babar and Rizwan.

The Afghanistan defeat in the WC was disappointing no doubt. I didn't expect to lose to them in an ODI however Babar isn't the only one to blame for that. We put up 280+ and could've easily defended it if the bowlers had done their job.

All I'm saying is please extend the same courtesy to Babar that you are giving to Afghanistan. He's been unlucky too with dropped catches and poor bowling at crucial stages of a match.

We are not a weaker side without Babar and rizwan,

Saud at no 3 would be able to do the same thing that Bobby has done over the years if he was given that position rather then the no 5 position, since he'd be mostly facing c string bowlers on pindi pitches like Bobby.

Rizwan is tricky to replace though, I agree on that part, I don't like him but we don't have a good track record of keepers.

Babar has played a billion matches at no 3 against Fodder bowling attacks, Theirs no way he and imam wouldn't score much, but then be Sub par in tournaments where theirs a pressure stage and quality bowlers.

Babar is the biggest fraud the media has ever hyped up, all this no 1 batsmen in the world is total nonsense.

Also sidenote: I myself haven't complained much about rizzu btw, you're probs confusing me for this made up group you've assigned. All I said was I don't like rizzu, I hope usman Khan takes his place but as of now, Haris and azam Khan are obviously not ideal tonreplace him.

My issue is babar, he's not the quality bat you've put him up to be, He's a coward batsmen who while good at consistent accumulation is always looking for hand holding from people around him, in the same caliber of Joe root, however he isn't surrounded by bazzballers like root was In 2019.

We as a cricket fan, will never be satisfied with babar I guess. Obsession is at its peak when Babar's name pops up.

 

[mominsaigol]

If we also had Naseem Shah, we could've won easily. He has his number over Afg

No we wouldn't.

Naseem shah is our best bowler 100%, something that people were making fun of me for 5 months back when I made it clear that naseem is superior, but everyone was living on cloud 9 for shaheen's they cannot play him nonsense.

Despite being proven right everyone changed sides and now they pretend as if I never made that that claim , because admitting it, would mean admitting I was right, but ego checkes won't allow it.

Regardless deapite me constantly supporting naseem and even going so far as to claim, that out of every player in pur team, no one makes it to the Indian squad except for Naseem, as naseem would be a good backup bowler if siraj, bumrah and shani got injured, since without shami, they had to rely on thakur, who deapite being an allrounder, was useless with bowling, so India didn't mind weakening their batting for a genuine bowler.

Naseem would easily take thakur's place.

Any way my whole point is, Naseem is a great bowler, but he ain't a miracle worker. Shaheen, Rauf, Shadab, Nawaz being run machines wouldn't have helped him, Afghan's could have easily tuk tuked him and bashed everyone else like they did.

Naseem wouldn't have made a huge difference in that game, although he'd be the only bowler afghans wouldn't attack.

So our best bowler and a proven clutch against Afghanistan wouldn't have made a difference? But Afghanistan dropping their choker did?

Do you see your obvious contraditions and hence why I don't take your cricket opinion seriously?

Plus I don't remember your stance on Naseem as all I have heard recently is Babar bashing. The only time I had a discussion with you about bowlers was Shaheen when you said he's not World class. Shaheen is the better bowler when he's fully fit but he's even better with Naseem bowling at the other end. If we had the Shah duo opening the bowling together it would've been impossible for Afghanistan to chase. Shaheen (the eagle) needs Naseem (the wind) to fly higher

What you remember or don't remember is irrelevant. If you think I'm lying then frankly speaking idc, I told you my og point of view I was making months back, that's all.

Afghanistan didn't just drop their chocker, their batting had improved by Miles so much so that even while not at full strength they still tonked a 300 against put full strength team.

This version of Afghanistan murdered England who murdered us badly. They bullied and humiliated us. Your acting like naseem would have pulled a sarfraz nawaz.

Naseem is the only world class bowler we have, but that is useless when you have 2 spinners who aren't superior to anyone except for Joe root in bowling lol, and embrassing trundlers.

Shaheen is not better then naseem in any which way, him in his prime having that one unplayable inswing which he can't Do consistently doesn't change the fact that shaheen in his prime was a trash death bowler who let mattew wade tonk him for 3 sixes in a row.

Nor does it change the fact that he overpitched non stop.

Naseem always had consistent line and length and wicket taking ability, before the India asia cup(which he shpuld have dismissed Gill 2x, but thanks to your brain dead team that didn't happen) he hadn't gone wicketless before that one game.

Shaheen went wicketless multiple times lol.

These 2 aren't comparable, and honestly I don't need your approval on my cricketing views lol.

 

[Usman Chadda]

@Savak you love quoting journalists and ex-cricketers so much, I’m surprised you missed out Rashid Latif stating clearly how Shaheen started all of this by back-stabbing Babar during the World Cup 2023.

Yes, this happened DURING one of the most important tournaments in world cricket, where the PCB chairman was outright ignoring the national team captain and having back-channel talks with other players.

Apparently Rizwan was also approached but he outright refused Zaka Ashraf’s crooked approaches, while Shaheen was enjoying the lime-light and should have refused to indulge Zaka. Shaheen was actually the third choice, after Rizwan and Shadab refused to go against Babar.

What goes around comes around, Babar resigned while Shaheen has been forcefully removed.

I hope I am not breaking any rules by sharing these comments, but Rashid Latif is on record stating all of this and is quite impartial on this whole drama happening right now.

Rashid was the first to break the news about Babar’s captaincy being in danger DURING the World Cup.

Shaheen did this during the World Cup, doesn’t matter if it’s one series or two series.

The correct way should have been to have these talks after the World Cup, not during the tournament where the side was already under tremendous pressure.

Shaheen himself was rubbish throughout with the new ball, aswell as down on pace and overall fitness.

Shaheen had the opportunity to do it a lot earlier, when Sethi wanted him to lead instead of Shadab. Shaheen didn’t go ahead with it at the time.

When it became absolutely clear that the team isn’t going any further under Babar’s leadership, he was rightly removed and Shaheen was rightly appointed.

1 series! 1 series and you cry about backstabbing! 4 years Shaheen kept Babar in the job bending his back for him!

 

[Cricket Warrior]

How did Sachin have same story? Sachin removed from captaincy played under Azhar Ganguly Dravid Dhoni

So Babar also didn't refuse to play under anyone else... What do you expect Babar to do when someone offers him the captaincy after his bad performance? Should he decline saying Shaheen deserves it more?

Doesn’t give him the right to do this DURING a World Cup, where he was also under-performing along with the rest of the team.

He also had the examples of Rizwan and Shadab refusing to indulge in this sort of back-handed talks.

Is hammaam mein sab nangay hain, sorry to say. You have your agendas, but had this same thing happened to Shaheen during the World Cup, you would have been crying even more than usual

I have seen a video of Shaheen pushing Babar during the Afghanistan game in the 2023 ODI WC. Therefore i fully believe that yes, he got greedy and wanted the captaincy.

However Babar had also been in charge for 4 years and his overall record was abysmal. He was rightfully removed as captain. Rashid while acknowledging the conspiracy against Babar in 2023, also stated that the way the PCB has gone about removing Shaheen like this is not good for the team, Shaheen should have been allowed to lead the team till the T-20 WC, the PCB has now laid the seeds for the 90's style dressing room environment where the players had grudges, resentment against each other and back stabbed each other at the first available opportunity.

The PCB should have been more tactful and should have sat both Shaheen, Babar down and offered Shaheen a more respectful, face saving way to step down. Right now based on the reports i am hearing, the PCB did not once consult Shaheen at all during this whole saga and neither did Mohsin Naqvi offer any respect to Shaheen, he basically harped, its our decision, take it or leave it.

Things keep changing in Pakistan Cricket, tomorrow Mohsin Naqvi will not be there and Babar is not going to remain captain forever and Shaheen will get his opportunity again. Do you think he will ever forget this episode and not seek revenge?

Wow if this is true than we can't ignore the influence of Shahid Afridi on Shaheen. He's causing these rifts by sitting outside the team. Shaheen needs to understand that he can contribute more as a bowler. Time for Rizwan, Iftikhar and Shadab to get his head straight

 

[Savak]

Its no secret Shahid Afridi met Zaka Ashraf during the ODI WC and once the team was back Shaheen was appointed the T-20 Captain. Shaheen would do well to stay clear of the influence of his father in law.

Regardless of how much sympathy you have for Shaheen for wanting captaincy so badly in the middle of the World Cup, when he was actually treated as the third choice and the only one willing to listen to Zaka Ashraf, what Shaheen did was also deplorable.

As I said in my initial post, what goes around comes around. Shaheen had no right to be so eager anyway, what with his form completely falling away during the World Cup.

Bottom-line is two wrongs don't make a right. The relationship b/w Babar and Shaheen is not going to be the same again. Both these players are on the wane and haven't won anything significant for a while.

 

[Savak]

Shahid Afridi coming out of the closet now with his views and striking when the iron is hot. He revealed to Samaa that he would have had deeper respect for Babar Azam if he had refused the captaincy and announced his support for Shaheen's leadership for this WC.

Babars really embarrassed himself here. Fatal mistake throwing shaheen under the bus for his captaincy desires. You reap what you sow.

 

[Technics 1210]

He has burned his bridges with the PCB, players, and the fans.

The only way he can redeem himself is to win an ODI WC with his bat.

Imagine being Shaheen, being humiliated in front of the world after getting sacked after 1 one series.

The lawyer stated that the players put financial gain over country's honour and wasted a lot of money by their trip to USA and West Indies.


Pakistan Cricket Team have dealt another blow as a lawyer from Pakistan has filed a case against the national team following their disappointing run in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024.

The lawyer, who hails from Gujranwala city in Pakistan, was gutted after his side lost two straight games against the USA and India which brought immense embarrassment for the country.

Arab News reported that the lawyer was disappointed by the performance of Babar Azam and Co, which is why he filed a treason petition against the national cricket team. Notably, one of the meanings of 'Treason Petition' is a betrayal of trust by someone.

The lawyer stated that the players put financial gain over country's honour and wasted a lot of money by their trip to USA and West Indies.

“The petitioner expressed deep concern over the disappointing performance of the national cricket team, calling it a waste of money and a betrayal of the nation’s trust. The petition accuses the team of putting at stake millions of rupees and the integrity of the nation, alleging that the players and team management prioritized financial gain over the country’s honour, ” stated Samaa TV.

“Furthermore, the petition highlights the harm caused to the sentiments of the people during matches against America and India, citing these performances as particularly egregious. "

The lawyer also called for a ban on the team until a thorough inquiry is conducted by the interior secretary and a comprehensive report is completed.

Pakistan won their third game against Canada comfortably, but now they have to depend on other teams' results to qualify for the super 8. However, things are not looking good for Men in Green, as rain threat looms over their upcoming tie against Ireland and a washout would see them bow out of the tournament.

Talking about the case, the court has asked for a report from the police on the registration of the case and directed them to file it by June 21.

SIGH reasons like this is why the country is what it is.

Please tell me it’s satire. How can anyone , more so a lawyer who should be an educated top official of the society he/she resides in, decide to seriously take the PCB to court over this.

Don’t get me wrong Babar azam and the PCB were absolute clowns and pathetic in the tournament , but to claim treason . You know when do we wake up and realise this current team just isn’t that good enough.

I mean if he follow up with the law suit where does it stop? You can sue 99% of politicians for treason

dont divert .. its intention is to find the fixers in the team .. case is on bobby ..not on pcb .. we need educated ppl like that to preserve the cricket from fixers.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Shahid Afridi speaking on his YouTube channel:

“Babar Azam is facing a lot of criticism. This happens because he is the captain, and these issues keep arising. We gave Babar a significant amount of time, 3-3.5 years, but his captaincy is not improving. The question for the selection committee is, why did they appoint him as captain again when he had so many chances to improve but did not? As a player, no one has ever criticized Babar Azam; it’s always about his captaincy. A leader has to make meaningful decisions, he can turn a lost match around, engage the whole team, and consult with senior players. These are all the aspects of captaincy that I have observed he could not improve over such a long period.”

“There are five to six major events in which we could not win a trophy, including the Asia Cups and World Cups. The question arises from the selection committee, why did they appoint him as captain again? My question to the selection committee is that after Babar Azam, if there was any better option, it was Mohammad Rizwan. He is a fighter, his body language is positive, he never plays blame games, and I have also seen him captaining Multan Sultans.”

“I will make this request to the fans on social media, not to use any inappropriate language against Babar Azam. He needs everyone’s support. It’s a difficult job because the expectations from him were very high. The captaincy that Babar Azam took again, or the selection committee appointed him as captain again, was a wrong decision. And it was also Babar’s wrong decision to take the captaincy again.”​

 

[AMSS]

So this is basically Shaheen sniping at Babar through his FIL? Novel approach to improve the team environment.

“I will make this request to the fans on social media, not to use any inappropriate language against Babar Azam.

That's 100% a clue about what Afridi wants

His captaincy appointment has destroyed the credibility of the PCB

What hurt babar is him accepting the mantra of King.

He should have remained an introvert batter for Pakistan who played odi and test at no 3 for them.

Babar was always an accumulator bat for Pakistan and he should have remained that amd focused on his fitness and batting.

However greed destroyed him as well as being a coward in general. Their was no need to pretend to be a t20 opener, or become a captain when he knew full well he wouldn't be am effective leader or keep his prejudice dosti yaari aside, and he knew full well that he lacks lofted strokes and isn't willing to be anything more then an achorer in his career.

Tbf bro, he was always an accumulator. Mickey Arthur promoted him from 6 to 3 cause he saw a stable odi batter who could hold the line and bat through the innings.

His soft scoring was needed to amp people like fakhar, Hafeez, Malik, Haris sohail etc up.

It's just everyone took that as him being Pakistan's answer to Kohli when he doesn't even have the kohli mindset.

Kohli doesnt go around media Saying things like I'm a t20 anchorer or being too afraid to develop lofted strokes for his game, nor does he go around losing track of his fitness.

Babar should have just been quiet and developed himself into a 2019 Joe root type batsmen at worst or at best an amla like player.

Their was no need to compare him to people > Butler, Warner, Kohli etc. This king and milestone obsession got to his head. He was never an attacking batter, even his 3 100's against West Indies in that series didn't showcase dominance, they were more so accumulative scores that granted led to victory but weren't eye catching.

Pakistan desperately needed a batter who could bat through and that's what we needed babar for, now he's regressed due to this world class obsession.

Pakistan focused on the wrong guy. They should have focused on Fakhar and kept trying to improve him. Fakhar was your saeed anwar however fakhar is just too damn inconsistent firing once in a blue moon. The focus should have been to make him the hitman of Pakistan by ensuring he becomes a consistent batter and not a one hit wonder.

Instead Pakistan did everything they possibly could to destroy fakhar by shoving him to no 4 for rizwan, removing him from test and even dropping him from odi multiple times.

Like bhai, if you have a player who even as a one hit wonder can get daddy 150's, your focus should be to improve him and make him consistent, not focus on babar a softie run scorer and try to remove fakhar for a leg side hack in rizwan of all people.
