I always had imad > Nawaz but well done again for another correct prediction, great job.Can’t hear Babar Babar anymore
It’s Imad
Imad
Imad
You beauty
Right about what? Rizwan our greatest wk by a mile and Imad who gets mocked by his own crowd.You see Rizwan
Imad was always right about you
In the end he pulled a RizBar by wasting balls to get to his hundred.I feel bad for usman Khan, he really played his heart out only to have usama mir and abaas afridi botch it
This. He got his hundred in the end. But if he prioritized the team win. Things might have looked positive.In the end he pulled a RizBar by wasting balls to get to his hundred.
This is what happens.
He struck at over 200. The bowling was the problem, the target was 229 not 150In the end he pulled a RizBar by wasting balls to get to his hundred.
This is what happens.
He was paying tribute to his captainIn the end he pulled a RizBar by wasting balls to get to his hundred.

You can’t blame Usman doing what his captain always doesThis. He got his hundred in the end. But if he prioritized the team win. Things might have looked positive.
Rather take a 99* in a winning cause than a 100 in a losing cause.
Also Rizwan 20 off 17 in the powerplayPeople need to understand that its a team game, usman is playing for his selection in the squad.
He struck at over 200 sr, he can slow down for a milestone. Its not his fault that the bowlers were so incompetent that they couldn't defend 229.
Don't get me wrong, imad waseem, munro played extremely well but blame usama and Abass for giving them half trackers or full volleys throughout the whole game as well as giving them multiple wides etc etc.
It's a team game not a one man sport.
Also Rizwan 20 off 17 in the powerplay
17 powerplay deliveries wasted for 20 runs
Yes ask @Ahmed216 about his opinion on this?Fans will use the excuse that rizzu made 3 extra runs and set the stage
PSLmir you mean?Usama Mir received an absolute hammering. He is good, but when he gets hit, he gets hit like no other
Yes, the same crowd who will now make him their daddyRight about what? Rizwan our greatest wk by a mile and Imad who gets mocked by his own crowd.
It's a wrong thing to sacrifice team goal for individual goal in Cricket. Doesn't matter who does it.You can’t blame Usman doing what his captain always does
No doubt.It's a wrong thing to sacrifice team goal for individual goal in Cricket. Doesn't matter who does it.
He cannot slow down precisely because he was hitting at over 200 SR. As a team you strive for every single run. Doesn't matter if you're on 99 or batting at 200 SR or already having a 200+ score on the board.People need to understand that its a team game, usman is playing for his selection in the squad.

That's the issue with viewer mentality, they'll blame the player who performed but the players who didn't are Scott free.He cannot slow down precisely because he was hitting at over 200 SR.

Moreover this is a Pindi pitch and Multan knows better than anyone else that even on a true Pindi pitch 240+ is possibly chasable.
He did contributed the best from Multan's side but these small things need to be reflected after the game. So you don't take things for granted.
Yes why not? He can be tried.Yes ask @Ahmed216 about his opinion on this?
He says Usman ‘can be tried as an opener’ but not at the expense of Rizwan. Which means it will have to be at the expense of Saim. Maybe he can explain?
Rizwan in form or out of formYes why not? He can be tried.
In case of poor form or injury to any of our openers he may do the job.
If Rizwan loses form for a long time he must also be replaced. His haters have been waiting for a long time but mashallah he's such a consistent run getter.
But if you want Rizwan to be dropped or relegated for Usman then I don't agree with it. Usman is doing a wonderful job as middle order batter why can't he continue doing that for Pak . Good player of spin
Yes we've seen that happen every time he goes out early for Pak. It's PSL season calm downRizwan in form or out of form
Makes no difference. You’d rather have Rizwan out of form and out early so that your team can bat freely with more balls available to them
Yes we did see in the 2022 World CupYes we've seen that happen every time he goes out early for Pak. It's PSL season calm down
Player of match in semi-finalYes we did see in the 2022 World Cup
Pakistan got to the final. Rizwan means Zilch to Pakistan’s chances
And who is the reason he played that Semi?Player of match in semi-final
Doesn't matter it's a team game. But he played a vital role in team reaching the finals. What have your contenders to replace him ever done? One is carrying bottles now for a franchiseAnd who is the reason he played that Semi?
It's a waste of time with anyone who thinks Asif Ali is better than Babar lol.And who is the reason he played that Semi?
better captain*It's a waste of time with anyone who thinks Asif Ali is better than Babar lol.
And zeeshan ashraf is better than rizwan.better captain*
Yes I think he will be better than Babar. He will play for his team.
I also want to play selflessly for Pak teambetter captain*
Yes I think he will be better than Babar. He will play for his team.
Good. Get involved, get selected for your domestic region. Show those performances at that level. Work your way up.I also want to play selflessly for Pak team
Akhlaq also. They have shots on both sides of the groundAnd zeeshan ashraf is better than rizwan.
It's not hard if you follow Asif Ali school of thought swing your bat and hope you connect one and than get out next ball. Some knowledgeable poster will demand you to become that captain of Pakistan and also think you are better than one of our best batsmen. A win win for you.I also want to play selflessly for Pak team
Exactly and anyone according to you. It's a waste of time with someone who thinks these guys are better than rizwan.Akhlaq also. They have shots on both sides of the ground
Where do you rate rizwan in the batting hierarchy?Exactly and anyone according to you. It's a waste of time with someone who thinks these guys are better than rizwan.
As a batsmen in general or just t20s?Where do you rate rizwan in the batting hierarchy?
Like when you compare him to psl bats like usman Khan, munro or pakistani International bats like fakhar, Babar, saud, where do you rate rizwan?
Genuine question btw, just asking not trying to lead with any follow ups or anything.
The Aussie commentators were laughing when the saw sarfraz play ahead of rizwan.I’m a laughing stock for maybe a handful of people who I torment with the truth
Doesn’t make an ounce of a difference to me.
Umm, ig t20? But you can answer for the other 2 formats as well if you wish.As a batsmen in general or just t20s?
Fakhar has been a flopped t20 player and an opener. Our fans think just because he can clear the rope means he should open. He was given 30 odd games as an opener and flopped. This is in international. I don't care about Psl and even this Psl he has been awful to say the least.Umm, ig t20? But you can answer for the other 2 formats as well if you wish.
I actually forgot fakhar was in test at one point lol, but otherwise yh I agree with you more or less.Fakhar has been a flopped t20 player and an opener.

Colin Munro was far better t20 opener than rizwan infact rizwan won't get close to him.
Usman I find an excellent player of spin and very average against pace. He hasn't played international cricket but he will struggle to match rizwan numbers in international. In fact he won't come close to it. He doesn't seem like international class batsmen.
Babar is a much better batsmen than rizwan in t20s.
Saud is not a great t20 bat though he seems to be improving.
When it comes to other formats. Fakhar is one of our greatest openers and is miles better than rizwan along with Babar.
As bat in all formats Babar is obviously better than rizwan. But what rizwan has achieved in test cricket none of the players you have mentioned will come any way near rizwan. Munro is a t20 specialist who flopped in odis let alone tests.
Fakhar experiment failed at test though I believe he should have been given more chances.
Usman Khan will never play tests because his technique won't allow him he would even struggle in odis.
Saud is levels below rizwan as an all format. I rate saud but he's flopped really bad in the Australia and his performance was shambolic in county cricket.
I am not a fan of rizwan and he has plenty of faults specially as a t20 player but his performances specially in SENA is better than some of our greats.
The political stuff is rubbish if you have followed. He opened for KPK with fakhar and performed got picked for Pakistan against NZ and flopped 2 games and before the 3rd game he said to iftikhar this could be his last game for Pakistan. In that game he scored a match winning 80 odd and never looked back as an opener. Our t20 openers should be Babar and Saim with rizwan at 3 or 4 as he eats too many balls.I actually forgot fakhar was in test at one point lol, but otherwise yh I agree with you more or less.
What do you think about the politics surrounding rizwan? I agree with you on the player aspects, but what about his political claims on PP?
By political claims I mean mainly
A) People hating him as an opener and no 4 in odi and claiming he blocks pathways.
B) Fake injuries
C) Saya Corporation drama
Batting at 4 in odis*The political stuff is rubbish if you have followed.

Coming to him batting at 4 in odis I don't like that he should be batting at 5 or 6 and when he complained about batting st 6 the management should have dropped him. This is Pakistan cricket team not rizwans.
Coming to his fake injures and dramas I am fed up with it and something needs to be done about it. It's a pathetic viewing him faking.
I honestly don't know much about the saya corporation drama so won't comment.
Rizwan has many faults and I am not a fan of his but when people target him unfairly I will always back him. The fact is he comfortably our best wk by far stats wise. His batting alone is better than most of our batsmen even with his limited range.
Fair, I try to be similar in that regard, I more or less go for the truth. Thanks for your insight fam, although I was mostly asking about saya but you don't have much knowledge on it and mine is also limited, but regardless no issues, it was still fun to get your perspective even if I didn't find what I was looking for(Saya).The political stuff is rubbish if you have followed.

I agree unfortunately because are not honest here. They are either blind haters or blind fans.Fair, I try to be similar in that regard, I more or less go for the truth.

Well certain things like having sarfraz as captain again is silly beyond belief considering he's 37, but I can still understand alot of people's viewpoints as to why.I agree unfortunately because are not honest here. They are either blind haters or blind fans.
There is no logic to having sarfraz as a captain he can't even get into the team. Rizwan is far better batsmen and far better keeper than him.Well certain things like having sarfraz as captain again is silly beyond belief considering he's 37, but I can still understand alot of people's viewpoints as to why.
Theirs also the fact that some players in our unit like shan, nawaz etc clearly do not deserve a spot ahead of certain players ans you do feel imad and malik are being cheated in that regard hence fans tend to riot.
Ps: Not saying I want malik or Imad back, just saying when your replacement is shan or nawaz when clearly bowlers like abrar or batsmen like usman Khan are in the dug out, then it doesn't make a lick of sense
Babar failed to defend 244 twice loolIslamabad United made history today as they recorded the 3rd highest chase in the history of PSL

Yes I’m so hurt by Rizwan once again being carried by his foreign players whereas Saifi doesn’t rely on anyone but himself
Btw speaking about carrying bottles wasn’t it Saifi who through Rizwan out of the team vs NZ. Watching legwan carry drinks for kaptaan had to be my favourite PCT moment since the champions trophy
Right about what? Rizwan our greatest wk by a mile and Imad who gets mocked by his own crowd.
