Pakistan captain Babar Azam speaking in post-series presser:

About the lessons learned from this series:


“We have partially achieved our plan. There have been three injuries, including those to Azam Khan, Mohammad Rizwan and Irfan Khan. You have observed a rotation in batting. We have attempted to experiment with different combinations. We have utilized various bowlers in the first six overs. All of this was planned before the series, considering which player can benefit us in different situations or under pressure, how they are behaving, and how they will perform. We have taken note of these factors. There are some positive signs as well, but it doesn’t mean that we will ignore the mistakes we have made. We will try to correct our mistakes as soon as possible; the sooner, the better for us because the World Cup is near. The combination that will play in the World Cup will be chosen with an effort to do what is best for the team.”

About Shaheen Shah Afridi and rotation policy:

“I had said before that Shaheen Shah Afridi is the best bowler and he knows how to make a comeback. Bad days do come, but he is mentally strong and whatever he does with dedication is evident to everyone. He is a fighter, and the way he has made a comeback and given us wickets at crucial times, I, as a captain, am happy with such performances. Unfortunately, you have seen that Mohammad Rizwan has become unfit. Our plan was to rotate, but we know that we are struggling in the middle overs. You have seen that we have sometimes sent Shadab Khan up the order, and sometimes Iftikhar Ahmed, we have given Usman Khan a proper opportunity to consolidate. However, our main concern is the middle order. We have made changes up and will keep on doing”

About Usman Khan :

"You have to give players a margin. When you come into the team, there is pressure, but he has tried his best. Whenever a player makes his debut, after the innings, you try to stabilize a bit and start your innings, but he showed intent which was required. Performing or not performing is not in anyone’s hands, he was very good.”

About fielding:

“We will also work on our fielding, there is quite an improvement, but we will have to work harder on this thing."

"As a captain, I am not satisfied with the result of the series. There are no excuses. Yes, we've youngsters in the squad but we should have played better cricket. We lack in the fielding a bit which is important to address."

About not being able to reach 200 runs in the whole series:

“The average score in Lahore was 190. In Rawalpindi, you could say that the average score was over 200, as we saw in the PSL. However, the situation and pitch can change from time to time. You can’t always go out and score runs. You try, but after five or six overs, you realize what the best score could be on that pitch. So, we plan accordingly. When the wicket was good, we also scored 200 and also chased it sometimes. But I believe that in all three matches, throughout the series, we scored fewer runs in batting. I don’t deny this, but we will work on it. We do have power hitters like Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman and Iftikhar Ahmed. We really missed Azam Khan in the series. He brings a lot of power in the middle order and he has the ability to change the game.”

"I am not here to please anyone. When we rotate our players then we get criticism. If we don't rest players we are still criticized. So all of you should pray for everyone because we cannot please everybody with our decisions."

About scoring runs in different phases of the match:

“If you score more than 50 in the power play, I think that’s good. However, we are struggling from the seventh over to the tenth. It’s not that we are struggling in the power play; we are making 30-35 runs from the seventh to the tenth over. You could also say that we are short by five to ten runs. After that, if you are at 100 in ten overs, then in the next ten overs, you try to make 90 to 100 runs when the wicket is in hand. We are making more than 50 runs in the power play, but we are also losing wickets. We have even scored more than 60, but we have also lost wickets. We are also struggling due to consecutive wickets falling. We will try to address this. In the end, we try to execute our power-hitting plan in the last five overs.”

About Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir:

“The way they have performed and are bowling is known to everyone. In this team, it’s not that anyone’s position is fixed. Even today, you see that we have utilized 8 bowlers because the condition demanded it. We take this into account. We used spinners after six overs because the batter was struggling at that time. It’s not that we get full overs from any one bowler. Like in the last match, Shadab Khan didn’t bowl, but in this match, he got two overs. Usama Mir bowled well so he bowled all his overs. It depends on the situation and the way Mohammad Amir, he also bowled well. He is quite an experienced bowler, he knows how to bowl. It was a bad day for him, so no problem. I have no doubt about his experience. There is still a lot of time to finalize the World Cup team, and we still have seven to eight matches left.”

About Saim Ayub:

"Saim Ayub is extremely talented. The way he changes the game in the first six overs is commendable. He's struggling but I feel he just needs one innings to get going. Sometimes you need to give some extra time to special talents like him. Hopefully, he will do well in the future."​

I didn’t watch the match, that’s why I am confirming. If it’s true, im about to rip this guy to shreds here

He did slow down I don't have the exact figures
But to be fair it was a slow pitch was favouring the spinners in the middle overs even fakhar was struggling to clear the fence
 
More shocking was this statement - ""really missed Azam Khan in the series. He brings a lot of power in the middle order and he has the ability to change the game. "" wow just wow! Babar believes he missed Azam Khan of all people! Unfit obese fat cricketer- like for real tough to believe! 😡

Do you do anything else other than slag off Babar and Riz...do you not get tired, bored even?

I mean nothing personal against Azam Khan but just as a cricketer it's a disgrace to be in that shape. And he's playing international cricket.
Even league cricket doesn't take such obese cricketers. Being unfit is one thing but being obese!! And this guy is the supposed savior for an international cricket team..
 
So he was asked about rotation policy and why he didn’t sit out.

This question triggered him and that’s why he said “I’m not here to please anyone”.

He knows people want him out of Pakistan cricket team. Selfish man!
 
No way did Babar actually say that “we missed Azam Khan” when NZ are missing most of their first choice players😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😇😂😇😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m laughing but on the inside I want to put my fist into my mouth and bang my head on the wall.
If NZ had just brought Finn Allen they would have won the series 5-0 most likely and some of the margins of wins would have been huge
 
Pakistan captain Babar Azam speaking in post series presser:

"Usually, players become a bit selfish after two failures if they are new in the team. But the way Usman Khan showed intent, it was really heartening to see.

As a captain, I am not satisfied with the result of the series. There are no excuses. Yes, we've youngsters in the squad but we should have played better cricket. We lack in the fielding a bit which is important to address.

We really missed Azam Khan in the series. He brings a lot of power in the middle order and he has the ability to change the game. Yes, we made a lot of mistakes in the entire series as a batting unit but, we're constantly working on playing a brand of cricket that is required these days.

I am not here to please anyone. When we rotate our players then we get criticism. If we don't rest players we are still criticized. So all of you should pray for everyone because we cannot please everybody with our decisions.

Saim Ayub is extremely talented. The way he changes the game in the first six overs is commendable. He's struggling but I feel he just needs one innings to get going. Sometimes you need to give some extra time to special talents like him. Hopefully, he will do well in the future."
Missed azam Khan 😂😂.

Exactly my thoughts.what will happen if good bowlers can stop boundaries to him in pp and let him run singles after pp.All the pitches are either slow or batting tracks in us/wi.You should add rizwan as another opener on top of it for cumulative effect. In a sense they are thinking to play 2021 t20 wc kind of scores in 24 t20 wc.

Tbf bro, the middle overs got difficult to play in general, I'm willing to give babar leeway this game.

It was a good innings.

Few more words of wisdom were added here.

Looks like Babar is happy scoring 170-180 runs in t20s. STILL???? when teams are looking for 230-240, Babar is saying that we cannot score 200 runs every game. This mentality needs to change.

Well said kaptaana.
 
External noise from toxic fans and media can be distracting. Focus , hard work and good intent is all that's required
 
Azam is the mountain this team desperately needs. Babar knows it. He can feel it.

Btw, brother Bobby does not need to please anyone. He just needs to carry on playing like the champion innings he played yesterday.

Babar should be able to please his fans atleast. This is not going to work until he looks beyond 90s brand of cricket. He needs to bring innovation which we have not seem till now.

Pakistan don't need to score more with such a talented bowling attack. Will defend 180 every time.

This tells you everything Babar and co thinks about openers. Babar and Saim are fixed as openers for WT20 and Rizwan is the backup opener. As he mentioned that they would've rotated openers if Rizwan was available. That means they don't see any other opener for WT20 aside from Babar, Saim and Rizwan.

Brace yourselves then, we may possibly see RizBar in WT20 again.

Bowling will not bail out every time. Happened with India in WC23 where their bowlers were spectacular. But because their batting failed in the Final. Their bowlers couldn't bail them out.

Depends on the pitches to be honest. On certain pitches which are clearly biased towards chasing, no team can defend anything.

Except one, I don't think most Caribbean pitches are like that.

I agree but this is not solution. If you want to win WT20 you need all three of your batting bowling and fielding sorted out. Cricket is a team sport.

There will be days and pitches where bowlers will go for 200+ What will you do then? The only way out that day would if your batters can step up to score 200+ also. Otherwise you will lose that game.
 
Not a fan of Babar's captaincy...
I hope he goes onto prove me wrong..

But replace the word anyone with everyone and the whole paragraph sounds different...
Slip of the tongue? Poor communication skills maybe?


"I am not here to please anyone. When we rotate our players then we get criticism. If we don't rest players we are still criticized. So all of you should pray for everyone because we cannot please everybody with our decisions."
 
This guy is full of arrogance. He is not going to deliver for Pakistan for much longer with this sort of attitude.
 
Babar should keep these nukhreh for the World T20

Babar is a good batsman but he’s really nothing more than an Ian Bell or a poor man’s Hashim Amla.

He will really thrive if he puts his head down and focuses on being an above average middle order batsman. He is really trying to punch above his weight with all this want for captaincy, glory and fame. Work on your skills and get your job of being an anchor done.

Problem is, records show he is actually worse in the middle order.

Over 7-15 are a thorn to watch with babar.
 
Yeah, he is better off at the top than to play in the middle overs. Not gonna suit his style.
No, he is better off out of the t20 team.

Players like amla, Root, Williamson, Smith, Babar , bavuma dont belong in t20.

Only person who justifies his place is Williamson but that's due to being a specialist captain who's left foot is superior to any captaincy tactics or decisions babar can and ever will employ.

But as a bat these players don't warrant.

How many T20 World Cup finals have New Zealand played under the great captaincy of Williamson?

Who asked Williamson to get outclassed by Babar in the 2022 semifinal?
 
Kane is in the team just because NCZ thinks he is a great captain but he himself is not a suitable T20 batter and has not won them anything. No real feat. he has achieved in t20 world.

“I don't think it was a case of misbehaviour.
What I have heard from sources is that Adam Hollioake, as a batting coach, wanted to work with Babar Azam to correct some of his mistakes. However, Babar wasn't willing and insisted that he was doing everything right.”

Reports of Babar and Adam Hollioake bust up during the Australia tour. What’s the point of hiring coaches if Bobzy isn’t willing to listen to them?
 
Who does Hershelle Gibbs thinks he is giving white ball batting tips to Babar Azam?

As an Indian i always wonder how frequently these inside stories come out in public in Pakistan cricket? Argument between player and coach is a very normal thing in sports. It doesn't really help the player or the team when such disagreements become public. Things get taken out of context and controversy only add fuel to the fire. If any journalist is a well wisher of Pakistan cricket, he should bury such news as rumors.

They’ve buried plenty for a long time now. Enough is enough. Let the world know what these people are all about
 
Babar Azam is superstar of Pakistan, another main reason Pakistan cricket is being hostage in international cricket is due to Lack of Superstars

Babar Azam SSA Naseem Shah that's it.

If the team was star studded half of the problems would be solved automatically yet some fickle fans are after these players with a vendetta with big V.

Babar when in form during his 2016-2021 days was an amazing addition to the squad.

He was part of the reason why Pakistan were ranked no 1 in t20, He use to smash crap bowling and could accumulate scores when on difficult pitches such as the NZ game in 2019.

He along with Haris sohail and Fakhar made a great combo in odi during that era, and he complimented hafeez, Malik and even imam pretty well.

That doesn't change the fact that he's absolutely terrible from 2022 to 2024. And is equally trash like the rest.

You can't call yourself true pakistani fans if you can't identify problems, it's pure fanboying.

Babar's crap form, Crap fitness, Crap captaincy isn't a one off, it's been ongoing for 2 years now and will likely ongo even in 2025. So proper Pakistani fans will complain. If you want mediocrity then simply say so.

Had this been 2021, 2019 or 2018 and my brother @Rana Had been saying what he said about bobby, then I'd have debated him and tried to explain why I disagree. But this isn't 2019-2021. It's 2024 and for 2 years he's been dreadful beyond belief. Theirs no justifying his 5 tournament windfalls. 2021 was the last good tournament he has played and 3 years have passed since he's done a damn for pakistan.

So Babar is failing has he got support from anybody or is it that team has done wonders but Babar has flopped. Sadly the reality is that Babar form declined therefore team has also suffered, because team performance is in direct relation with Babar's performance. Hence he is a Superstar. Team depends upon him.
 
o Babar is failing has he got support from anybody or is it that team has done wonders but Babar has flopped.
Right here.

Pakistan has got no real superstars who can turn the game on his own and win the game single-handedly. This team was banking on Babar and riz + shaheen to win you each and every game but in reality, this is a team game. There was nobody to support these 3 guys and when their form declined, the whole team was done and dusted.

Babar needed support and he got none. ONE MORE TRUTH IS, BABAR IS NOT A CAPTAINCY MATERIAL.

Pakistan reached final of 2022 without babar's input until the semi's.

What's the science behind that?

That is completly untrue.

During the 2017-2019 days the main superstars were Haris sohail, Hafeez and Fakhar.

Babar's only role was to bat through as he ain't the type of player to take the game away. His best odi innings which is NZ 2019 was an accumulative innings backed by Haris sohail being the striker.

Hafeez was the priemere allrounder, Haris the priemere MO and Fakhar the proper X factor.

Pakistan since then isn't bothering to improve anyone, all the focus is on bobby and rizzu and in Bobby's case his performance has dipped beyond belief but he gets entitlement privileges.

Rizwan had 5 years to establish himself, Babar achieved success by mickey promoting him to no 3 and his early days were against West Indies and Zimbabwe so he adjusted.

Abdullah shafiq, Saud shakeel, haris and more in the ranks have shown potential, but where are they? Who told Pakistan to opt for shadab, Azam, No look saim, Usman khan when 2023 world cup made it clear that psl is not the basis of selection, FC and Donestic is?
 
Babar is so arrogant it's time to get rid of him alongwith his crony Rizwan.

We need some explosive batsmen who can play the modern game.
Best possible batting side
Sharjeel
Fakhar
Sahibzada farhan
Malik
Azam Khan
Asif Ali
Kamran Akmal
 
How can anyone with subpar IQ has so much power. The guy can't even speak proper urdu.It's beyond me that this guy is controlling Pakistan cricket.

He is such a poor player but he has so much power. Rameez Raja ruined Pakistan cricket by giving this babar control of Pakistan cricket. He is the new misbah the destroyer of Pakistan cricket.

Somehow Pakistan has to get rid of him.

Read something from Herschille
Gibbs who was asked about Babar during his time at KK. Gibbs said Babar is self absorbed in his own batting and doesn’t respond to any coaching.
 
Babar has done what he said. I AM NOT HERE TO PLEASE ANYONE and you know what, nobody is pleased now.

The whole is saying that babar should let go of this extra burden of captaincy and make himself a batter who can conquer the world once again but nope, he is not listening to anybody.
