"If I get a chance, I’ll play my natural game and give 100% for the team.": Usman Khan

[GOSH11]

Where is the proof he is better than Usman and Salman in the middle?

Your fantasies?

How could that proof be provided?.... let him have a run akin to Salman et al- I would think he would do far better.

Salman, UK and Haris before him are not consistent enough- i really want them to succeed but the solidity added by having Rizwan and Babar in a lineup BUT used appropriately is the answer.

The lineup needs flexibility, after the openers, the lineup should tailor the match situation or need and having 4 batsman like Babar, Fakhar, Rizzy and one more big hitter allows you to go in many directions.

I would also like Maaz in there somewhere.

You talk about fantasies but all we hear is insanity.... e.g. Haris, let us keep trying him and expect different results- foolhardy.

 

[GOSH11]

Well guess You are new to know that Don Riz is a self proclaimed #4. Search it. His wish is PCBs command.

Not a no 4... number 5 is the highest he should bat.

For me, 3-6 should be malleable in T20 to maximise matchups and the match situation.

 

[GOSH11]

I here you but as I was saying to Corleone above we should be mixing our openers at the world cup. So in some games play Rizwan in the lower middle order and in other games play him as an opener with Babar.

Certainly disgaree with either Rizwan or Babar opening.

Openers need to lay the intent. Babar and Rizzy are more like the safety nets to ensure competitive totals.

I would only use them down the order or in line with the match need- get a flyer, push them down, lose early wickets- consolidate etc.

What do you mean let him have a run?

Where does the sense of entitlement come from? When he knew he was out of Pakistan’s T20 plans…why did he rebel by playing every game for Multan Sultan’s as an opener? He was the captain, why didn’t he himself ever take the initiative when he had the power?

Ab dafa ho yeh! And his idiot fans need to pipe down as well.

 

[GOSH11]

The issue is, we have fantasists who think that by backing "aggressive players" over rizzy or babar is the way, i say a combined approach is needed.

They can be an effective safety nets.

Even the final vs India- salman, harris- just a let down....

Entitlement?

I wanted Salman, UK or even Haris to suceed but they just do not seem capable- odd showings aside, they just are not showing it enough

Idiot fans? It is more the fan boys who back one hit wonders or players who have a SR similar or WORSE to Rizzy or Babar- now that is supreme idiocy!!

 

[Rana]

I say the only thing you need to combine right now is your top and bottom lip and seal it. Zip it!

I don’t understand this sudden push to include Rizwan in the side when Pakistan have been vastly better without the two selfish Ps who had dragged us down the the pits of mediocrity and rubbish!

And if you really want to push for his case as a middle order batter over guys who have proven their worth in the middle….then provide SOLID PROOF that Rizwan is better for the roles 4 or 5 in T20 cricket over Agha and Usman Khan, or Hussain Talat or Fakhar Zaman or wherever!

Not your fantasies. Not your daydreams. Solid, irrefutable proof!

Great post, zip it? Lol, excellent insight young Sir.

Vastly better- please explain(factually) and not with childish emotion or statements, please.

 

[GOSH11]

The thing is- whoever plays for Pakistan, i want them to suceed and do well- so the team wins.

Even if Babar or Rizzy are not selected, i want the replacements to succeed and do well... the main aim is for Pakistan to win, even if that is by playibg your wacky, one hit wonder, childish approach- so be it!

 

[GOSH11]

Well then Einstein how about you factually explain how Rizwan is more suited to the middle order over Salman or Usman? It’s you who’s built a case on your dreams and ambitions.

That’s why honestly suggest, zip it! We’ve seen the consequences very clearly of how Pakistan cricket has been destroyed and fed to the dogs with this man being shoved into places where he doesn’t belong. Enough is enough!

If the other guys can get the job done, sure... no issues, i would look at the replacements and what are their averages/SR? "Vastly better"? At present,no way near at all, laughable to even suggest but that is the pervasive influence of youth in shouting the loudest or spamming a gazillion posts

Out of all of this gibberish,

Where is the PROOF Rizwan is suited to the middle order in T20 over Agha and Usman??

It’s a simple bloody question! The World Cup is around the corner. Where is the proof for you to say Rizwan plays ahead of Agha and Usman???

 

[CricVet]

For the next WC, the DUO Will be selected. Babar fans have a disappointment waiting in all likelihood on SL spin friendly pitches Rizwan if played according to his wish @4, then Pakistan deservingly will have back to back WC early exit.

He has not been tried in the middle order.... yet.... plays ahead for me on the basis of- are Salman and UK's records acceptable in terms of Ave and SR- no... if they get there, no issues with them at all. Rizwan v good ave and decent SR as an opener but needed shifting down the order or played with the match situation.

Unlike you, wirh personal hates or dislikes- i could not care less who pkayed in the team IF their records merited it- if they do not, you need to try alternatives that on balance of probability would give you a better and more solid option.

I know that is hard for you to follow and you will post some cute or cool cgildish response but we need the best combination or keep trying for the middle order

If he want to bat at 4, he should not play, 5 is the highest he shoulf be...

 

[Rana]

There you go.

So now, he shuts up. His fans shut up too. He prepares for the next World Cup in 2028, and finds the role in the middle if that’s where he wants to bat by proving it in his domestic/franchise commitments.

Is that clear?

Clear?

So, do you think Salman and UK T20I records are good enough to be incumbent placeholders?

Or will you shy away from answering or shoehorn Rizwan into your reply?

I see no reason why players who have actually played in the middle order during the domestics or wherever they are asked to play for in Pakistan and simply got on with it should be shifted for a selfish piece of trash like Rizwan or Babar.

I have no problem with Talat, Agha, Usman, Nawaz…even Iftikhar for that matter if they are asked to play in positions where they have proven themselves in domestic cricket.

Rizwan has proven himself to be a useless T20 opener. That’s it.

Well done, you did not answer such a simple question. Was expected.... lol.

And I do hope he has a dream WC In sha Allah and lifts it for Pakistan.
