How is Babar Azam the solution to Pakistan’s middle order spin issue in T20?

[heddie19]

Good one lol.

No seriously, I wonder what happened to him, he is just not there mentally. Also why making him bat at a position he is clearly not comfortable at? He was at his best as an opener in this format. Either play him where could be useful or don't play him at all.

I was first one to call that he is being batter at a number which is not his, they did the same by opening him in the ODIs last year. But there is not doubt that Babar has regressed and the current Babar is only playing for his spot.

WC 28 is in Australia

Wahaan yeh ghanta kya lene jaye ga?

Maybe the trophy he left in 2022. No one knows. But let's call spade a spade. We are a **** team with shitty players and Babar is one of them.

 

[heddie19]

Heddie bhai sachi sachi dus yaar are you trolling or serious?

What do you think?

 

[Hikaru]

In an era of T20 hacks, Babar's classical approach to the game is a breath of fresh air. Anyone who enjoys batting as an art knows the value Babar brings and haters can't change that.

[Cryin Out Loud]

Dunno if anyone else saw it as I did, but from his facial expressions while batting yesterday, Babar was scared. I can’t sugarcoat it.

I’m an Indian fan, I take great pleasure in Pakistan losing a game of gulli danda. But even I felt second hand embarrassment watching him

Other Pakistani players looked puzzled, angry, glum, defiant, disappointed. But this guy..

For a player who has the highest number of runs in T20i, who was compared with the greats, and is supposed to be a leader, that is unacceptable.
.

He should go.

Yeah got bowled by a spinner

Overrated player

 

[BouncerGuy]

babar demoted to 5... LOL... what an embarrassment for him

He has been promoted to a FINISHER

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL

He has been promoted to a FINISHER

Now shadab comes in ahead of him... finisher role loading

 

[big_gamer007]

Embarrassing for Babar, sending Shadab above the so called King. Media will have a field day tomorrow

 

[pakistani pride]

Look at him sitting in the dug out with his sheepish smile.

 

[Rana]

We found the solution…

To not bat him at all

 

[pakistani pride]

Solution is he does not bat at all. Hope we keep this strategy going forward.

 

[BouncerGuy]

babar played as specialist fielder I think...LOL

Didn’t Salman say to the media not to question Babar?

 

[Bhaijaan]

At first i genuinely thought it was a strategic call to promote Babar Azam in stature to a designated Finisher & Punisher for death overs but when SBZ and SK didn't show enough intent during death overs, i became suspicious that maybe there was somethign else cooking that my innocent mind had not detected earlier.

What do you reckon?

 

[shah9425]

Solution

Kick him out of t20 team

 

[VForVendetta]

Solution

Kick him out of all formats team

Thank you.

Saim Ayub should not be dropped for anyone. He is performing well with the ball and is better than the main spinners.

Why would Yousuf be jealous of Babar?

Increasing evidence to pick him and not using him to bat= BIG RUNS ON THE BOARD

This alongside the refusal to allow him to take strike on power-surge means 30 runs in an over

He should be batting in top order but the cricket team and board is ran by some idiots that do not have any game awareness which was evident/got exposed vs India. Secondly a person as small as yours would laugh at something like this. The g batter who refused that single travelled 3000 KMs just to field for their country. Representing your country in any capacity is not less than an honor. Thanks for proving that your thinking is even smaller than the person you actually are.
