How will Mohammad Rizwan's white-ball captaincy impact Pakistan cricket?

[shah9425]

A brilliant captain.

Zero IQ haters humiliated again.

Indeed the best captain

 

[emranabbas]

The captain went into hiding today,

apparently rested because we were playing Nepal in an Australian kit.

It was not his decision to rest. This is Aquib flexing his muscles

 

[gazza619]

Thank God Riz was dropped today. Just imagine how much time we saved. Got bowled out in 18 overs. Opponent chasing the target real quick. 4 hour game finished in 3 hours.

An hour saved to spend quality time with friends and family. Win win.

Pakistan smashed so hard he’s confused which dimension he’s in

 

[Asad T]

I don't see why he would rest himself as he was given captaincy
a bit of a baffling move

Also don't get why Saim and Hasnain weren't picked after they had such a good ODI series

 

[mominsaigol]

He was even fielding today. Coward captain

I don't see why he would rest himself as he was given captaincy
a bit of a baffling move

Also don't get why Saim and Hasnain weren't picked after they had such a good ODI series

 

[shaz619]

He sat out deliberately, him & Babar cut from the same cloth, they wont go out on their shield, much rather quit on their stool. He probably also did it so he could say, well, they still lost so am not the problem….

Seeing Agha today, its crystal clear no better captain than Rizwan in Pakistan.

Haters are blaming Riz for this loss too. How bizarre!!

He is the reason why Pakistan is completely in the dumps

This is what happens when the niyyat to make him work was criminal

even if he retires today you will blame him for all future losses over the next decade, I know that very well.

Indeed. The remnants of this Laanat will not die so easily. People who brought Pakistan down will forever be reminding of their pathetic input in bringing it down

Never let the world forget the crimes of Misbah

Never let the world forget the curse of Rizwan

Top of what? The ICC associates rankings?

I wouldn't be surprised if the team loses to Zimbabwe.

The whole team is literally saim + Rauf or bust

I want to understand these guy’s thought process. Rizwan taking Pakistan to the top in what? t20? What’s the plan? Is the plan to hope ICC makes a new rule where pitches have to be uncovered for 10 days in all T20is? Where winning scores will be 135?

General consensus is that he's crap for t20 but theirs no one else to captain and he's gun for odi and tests.

^^ That's the general consensus.

 

[Kianig89]

Fortunately world class legends know the value of RizBar. The problem is that rest of the team is so pathetic that it outshines the effort of duo and they have to play in a certain way.

No offence, But this is just outlandish.

Even if pointing rated these 2 highly, their is no way he would say these words in the exact same sentence and in that order.

Nor would he guarantee a world cup victory.

Your spreading lies. It needs to be pointed out. Your credibility is at stake when persisting with an agenda

But credit to pointing he knows exactly how many rizwans it will take to play the full 20 overs

 

[mominsaigol]

The problem with Misbah + Pakistan whiteball fans + Pcb as a whole is that they are incompetent when it comes to recognising talent.

Saim ayub seems to be an exception as despite not kicking off he's here and management trusts him.

Everyone over assumes that cricket is a simulation and stats are set in stone however their incapable of identifying talent.

The same fans who promote rizwan as an opener over fakhar are the same fans who promote Misbah > Inzimam because Misbah has a higher avg in world cups.

They don't realise that talent and ability wise, the gap between inzi and misbah and fakhar and rizwan is equivalent to the gap between ab de villers and kamran akmal.

Kamran may have won you one cup, but ab de villers is next level and superior in skills and talent.

Fakhar vs Rizwan was never a debate, it was only a debate for fraudulent misbah and rizzu fans.

 

[Rana]

Decent bowling captain

Just an absolute travesty as a white ball batter who gets to do whatever he wants

 

[Bewal Express]

This result shows what an amazing Captain he is and the last result showed he is useless.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Ponting hyped PRithvi shaw too. You gotta know which one has to be taken with a grain of salt.

Tbh, I thought Prithvi Shaw would be a really good player too when I first saw him in the U-19 WC. Ponting has worked personally with some of these players in IPL which is perhaps he sees certain things through tinted glasses when talking about them.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He's the most attacking and proactive captain that Pakistan have had in a long while. Not someone who will hang around waiting for things to happen. Pakistan had some very obvious weaknesses in Australia. They were essentially playing with four bowlers but that didn't stop him from bowling Australia out twice, and nearly bowling them out thrice. Similar stuff here, going with the spin-heavy attack and opening the bowling with Abrar. I like that he is not set in his ways as captain, like Babar was. You make decisions based on the conditions and the situation. You don't go with the same boring and predictable plan every single time.

Only a matter of time before he gets the test captaincy aswell.

 

[gazza619]

Decent bowling captain

Glad U see some light

 

[mominsaigol]

His captaincy is pretty basic. It's just Babar was garbage. He's okay.

Bumrah is already superior to him as a captain in his first series lol.

P 5 W 3 L 2 , Success rate 60% not bad

Good to see some honesty from you

 

[gazza619]

And yet you continue to choose the path of ignorance

I think I have mentioned in my recent posts that Riz needs to drop down the batting order

I do understand though why we wants to bat high. He wants to lead from the front. You can argue with his batting style, but you can’t argue against his ambition.

Yeah that 3rd T20i defeat is on him too I’m afraid. Had Pakistan lost today this coward would have sat out in the 3rd ODI

Lead from the front lol. Kitna Jhoot bolo gei? You know it's a lie and I don't need to explain why.

Just baiting for the sake of baiting

Lead from the front by scoring 16 off 26

Or lead from the front watching the DLS score get out of reach because of pressure building

@gazza619 I don't get why you lie so much? Theirs literal evidence of Rizwan outright saying he's batting at no 4 because he's not happy at no 5.

That's it. Theirs no other explanation.

Overall a very very selfish player because his statement shows he doesn't care about the best team combination possible, he only cares about himself.

He and Misbah are the 2 most selfish batsmen I have ever seen in my life. Nothing comes close.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Rallied the troops well to cause an upset and win against Zimbabwe.

 

[shamaan]

His captaincy is pretty basic. It's just Babar was garbage. He's okay.

Bumrah is already superior to him as a captain in his first series lol.

What's basic about playing 4 bowlers.Also another example off the field placement to Raza.

 

[Local.Dada]

His strategy seems to be over attack with bowlers, bowl out opposition for low totals and gun down the totals. Only criticism is there seems to be no plan B. The day it backfires it will do badly but most days will be exciting to watch. Now I am curious for CT. It will be an interesting match. Rizwan super attack vs Gambhir’s super aggression. That will make a lot of money for PCB, BCCI and ICC if they sell it like that.

 

[mominsaigol]

Excluding salman butt, I firmly believe Muhammad rizwan is the most corrupt pakistani captain to ever grace the game.

First and foremost let's talk about the Fakhar Zaman, Jason Gillespie and Gary Kristen Fiasco.

Before Rizwan was appointed captain, gheir were runored reports that gary kristen was eyeing either Muhammad Haris or Fakhar Zaman as the successor to Babar Azam.

In the case of Jason Gillespie, he wanted Shan masood to continue leading the test side and possibly lead the odi side as well.

However as soon as these reports or rumors were shared, Gary Kristen was sacked, Fakhar Zaman made a tweet favouring Babar and was soon discarded from the national squad followed by a formal termination of his contracts. Fitness was used as an excuse but if fakhar zaman was unfit, Why was his contract rescinded?

Similarly Gillespie faced a similar fate.

Furthermore their were rumors that Fakhar Zaman wasn't even aware of the tweet he sent mainly because it's a known fact that Pakistani players have their own agents running their social media accounts and not themselves.

The rumors suggested that the tweet was made to ensure that fakhar zaman was out of the way long enough for rizwan to be made captain and Kristen to be sacked as his vision could not be implemented.

Note ^^ All these were rumors and reports however I'd like to add that I firmly believe the validity of these claims and this to be the case. I don't believe in coincidences.

Then we have rizwan's antics in the field. Ever since he's been made captain he has repeatedly showcased a poor performance and a horrible selfish approach towards his batting.

Despite pakistan suffering from run rate issues at no 4 in odi and opening at t20, Rizwan refuses to swap positions for the betterment of the team.

Furthermore he has proven himself to be a coward. To avoid a t20 whitewash, he sat the final game out against australia Despite the fact that he was visibly seen fielding on the field for the majority of the game.

My guess is had Zimbabwe won the 2nd odi, Rizzu would have sat out for the 3rd odi as well.

Overall I firmly believe rizwan is the most corrupt and nepotistic player to ever grace the game, excluding Chuckers, Fixers and other such cases.

 

[mominsaigol]

He's a coward and a selfish captain.

 

[shah9425]

So far great impact

Back to back odi series win

 

[BouncerGuy]

So far great impact

Yep. Good start to his captaincy career but in batting, he has been mediocre. He needs to work on that aspect

 

[alishahid]

Ridiculous to see how some comment on rizwan. Guy has managed to gell the team well.

 

[jamie smith]

With the captaincy his batting has regrssed

 

[Cricket Warrior]

As I said earlier the real test of Rizwan's captaincy would be in South Africa which so far has been very average.

 

[Kianig89]

Trying his best to bowl them out

 

[Kianig89]

He's a coward and a selfish captain.

First Pakistan captain to win ODI series in Australia and SA.

First captain ever to.whitewash SA in SA.

 

[mominsaigol]

First Pakistan captain to win ODI series in Australia and SA.

First captain ever to.whitewash SA in SA.

First captain to go winless in t20 and first captain to score 16 of 26 in t20 as an opener

 

[RizwanT20Champ]

The number of people who have been exposed in this thread is actually hilarious.

0% cricket knowledge, 100% toxic agenda.

Rizwan and Bobby have fully humiliated the ones with an agenda and sidekicks. They deserve this humiliation. Well done to Pak team lead by Kaptaana.

 

[sweep_shot]

3 ODI series win in a row (ODI) as a captain.

I think Rizwan should continue to be the captain in ODI format.
