This guy is the greatest dramabaazi player ever. People who trust him have to do some soul searching. Fakeness is written all over his place. Biggest fraud.

Any test team who loses to BD is a minnow. But seriously full strength Pak will decimate BD 8/10 times

From my years of following this forum, Pak's strongest squad is always comprised of players who are not playing.

Not really. Both Siam and Babar strong format is ODI. They are paying price for poor t20 outcomes. BD, WI, ZIM, second string NZ, Eng, AUS etc teams are their bread and butter. Irrespective of how much fun we make about their soft runs, they can win against these teams. Ultimately teams have to win irrespective of their opponents

Saim I agree but Babar is done. Need to move on.

Last tournament Pakistan was won CT in 2017.

After 2017 these are the stats for all countries in multi national events. Pakistan has not won anything in 9 years including Asia cup/Asian games. They have reached 3 finals.

almost 2 cycles of mediocre performance..they haven’t done well since ICC 2017

yes. That is the reference point. Their last win in a multi national tournament.

You are factually wrong again.

Pakistan beat the living daylight out of India in 2021 World T20. That infamous 152/0 game. They also reached final of 2022 World T20.

Pakistan did very well until 2022 World T20. Things went downhill after that.

Stop trying too hard for Pak poster’s validation .. the reference is Pak hasn’t won a final .. if beating India in one game is the only significant thing that happened then congratulations to them.. India has consistently been able to beat them and last game was a joke.

 

[JaDed]

You have to be crazy stupid to keep cussing on T20 cricket the entire last 2 years and then use that format a reference for making a point but again my bad on expecting something remotely coherent.

There is a reason why he is a GUmp. lol I even menionted they reached 3 finals. Ya.. desperately seeking validation from pak posters who themselves are keeping their distance from these kind of cringeworthy validation posts.

You don't have to dig a hole and set a trap for these tiger err cats. It will dig the hole and get trapped on its own.

It's pakistan Z team literally....who the **** is ghazi ghouri, shamyl, samad??? Only agha and rizwan will play world cup from this lot and one if them scored hundred..... Falhar, saim, babar, kamran ghullam, saud shakeel, irfan niazi etc will play world Cup most likely........

 

[Katwalindian]

Babar will be good in SA conditions in odis.... if not then kamran ghullam

Saim, babar can perform in SA conditions...put of form babar scored 2 fifties in tests and odis respectively just last year in SA

 

[Varun]

Your table looks very stupid. Not sure what you are trying to say here.

Maybe you filtered too much. Filter it again with a calm brain.

I know right, Bangladesh are way too high. They should be bringing up the rear in every table.

Yes...T20 World cups matter only when Pakistan wins against India and make the SF or finals.

They don't matter when India wins the entire tournament...twice.

Teams like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh etc don't have to use these excuses of "B team Z team etc". It just sounds silly and funny.

Their first string teams themselves are mediocre and are filled with players who are in no way be called as "World class". There is not that much of a gulf between their main team and their second string XIs... because the bar is not that high. Any decent young talent can replace any of the first XI. Maaz Sadaqat can easily replace Fakhar or Imam or Saim.

First string player salman agha is playing and you see the difference........ iys not even second string...second string is kamran ghullam, itfan khan niazi etc soo just zip up

Maaz can't replace fakhar or saim....look at their averages in SA........

I would have easily agreed If kamran ghullam, haseebullah khan like proven domestic performer playing not ghazi ghouri, samad, Saad masood etc

Looks like Katwa "Indian" got triggered for no reason.

Pakistan literally won their only game on this tour because of a "Z String" player Maaz Sadaqat. As I said...lower mid tier teams like Pakistan cannot use these excuses of this string and that string....when their so called first stringers have been stinking it up since forever.

Pakistan have definitely entered a stage where they can drop anyone and pick anyone from their domestic pool and it won't make that big of a difference because they no longer have beastly talents that flip the delta too much.

 

[Mesozoic]

Maaz can't replace fakhar or saim....look at their averages in SA........

When will Pakistani fans stop getting fooled by these so called "averages" racked up on soft bilaterals against second string SENA attacks?

Numerous ICC tournament humiliations have still not taught you guys?

Mamoon mentioned he moved on from forums.

Yeah after how our team has fallen

Many people have moved on

Nobody is bothered to see this pathetic players

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Kamran Akmal said following after Pakistan's series defeat against Bangladesh:

"Why are we even bothered about the Pakistan team? Why are we analysing how they played? We should treat their games as a comedy series."

"Today they have brought disgrace by losing to a 10th-ranked team."

 

[Kianig89]

ARe Pakistan Minnows

Fast Bowlers - Out of Stock , in Test cricket we dont have a spearhead let alone a pack.

All-rounder - Not ONE world class all-rounder in any format

Batsmen - Not one complete batsmen in the ranks.

Captaincy - Dearth of leadership , Shan Masood at present is the best out of 3 we have and that in itself is an insult.

winning against India is not the criteria for a great team. As good as India has been in the last few years, they will lose few matches especially in T20s. Also in that tournament was a win toss, chase and win the match tournament. If India had won the right tosses India would have done exactly the same

getting validation from some masters is the hallmark of BD and their fans. They have nothing to showcase of their own achievements so they hold on to someone else's achievements. Here it is Pak, somewhere else it will be Aus or Eng, and other places it will be NZ or SA. Anyone other than BD will do as BD achievements are a big fat zero

I agree bro
Endians can say what they want. We gave them the best phainta of a lifetime.

They would never be an able to beat peak Pakistan team of 2022 which had Shaheen bowling 145 in swingers. Naseem firing above 140

And rauf in his peak shape.

Too hot to handle for the vegetarian Indians.

They were left to vegetate that day.

They are still recovering even after winning 3 tournaments after.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan need to play against SENAI regularly, thats the only way to improve otherwise they will keep moving in circle

 

[harshjoshi87]

Pakistan has become a minnow after playing against minnows regularly.

Losing to USA in 2024 & now to minnow² Bangladesh has confirmed Pakistan's minnow status in international cricket.

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL... minnows???

Even worse than minnows.... Aaqib gang has destroyed the cricket and brought Pakistan to lowest level possible for. We might have to play qualifiers soon and people here were doing bahngra that Rizwan is removed as captain.. that is enough for them...LOL

 

[SherWaqar]

Yes. Pakistan cricket is more or less dead.

 

[Hikaru]

I was subconsciously finding reasons to support Pakistan's case in the thread out of pity. Tells you how bad things are.

Still, PCT would smash most minnows in neutral grounds atleast.

 

[SherWaqar]

Also, Pakistan fans are the worst when it comes to hyping up ‘future sooopastars’. No other fanbase behaves as such.

But they brought BCCI down its knees! hooray!

 

[chakdeindian]

Pakistan team is basically amorphous in Nature..When playing against minnows, they change their shape to Minnows and play sometimes worse than them..When playing against top or mid level team, they change themselves accordingly and plays like top or mid team and if they want they change themselves quickly to Minnows in the same match.. Various factors like weather, ground, food, politics, jealousy on their own player, money, psychological factors, luck factors that impacts their shape and performances..
