It's time we apologise to Sarfaraz Ahmed

[mominsaigol]

This man keeps on proving people wrong over and over again.

Despite the nonstop criticism he consistently proves that he's a solid tournament captain and coach.

Was mocked as a captain yet won CT, was mocked as a coach yet his team is the one that secured a spot in the finals before anyone else.

QG has easily been the most dominant team this PSL.

InshaAllah IU qualify for the final

And are handed a 4th defeat at the Hands of Sarfaraz’s Quetta Gladiators!

 

[Cricket Warrior]

time will come when people will apologise to Lord Iftikhar Ahmed too

kyun bhui @Mohraheem?

 

[Major]

Apologies for what?

After every 3 months Sarfraz fans make some ridiculous threads.

Sarfraz was bashed for his fitness and lack of batting. No one was bashing him as a mentor/coach. So dont know whats the apologies are for

 

[sweep_shot]

Sarfaraz is an old school leader. Old is gold I guess.

 

[emranabbas]

Let's not forget u19 world cup he's been a great leader. If he was from KPK people would have appreciated him.

 

[BouncerGuy]

LOL... on these merits, we have to apologize to every player after their performance. QUetta has played good cricket and I think credit should go to the playing 11 actually... They played superb cricket. Mentors have no roles really. That is why PCB ended the mentorship from domestic cricket...

 

[Mamoon]

I will apologize to Sarfaraz if he first apologizes for the following:

• Sri Lanka 2017 (Tests)
• New Zealand 2018
• 2018 Asia Cup
• 2019 series in England
• 2019 World Cup
• 8 consecutive ODI defeats in 2018

He made a bunch of mediocre cricketers play to their potential. It was his talent. Whether he needed to kick them

Big difference between apologising to a player for an outlier innings vs apologising to a player whos actually responsible for PK's consistent achievements.

What has Pakistan achieved since sarfi left? Literally nothing besides beating a very casual aus in aus even though they vanished 5 of their main string players.

Pakistan is lucky that Au and PK normally do not meet in tournaments because every time they do, aus humiliates us even more then India.

With India they maul us yes, but Australia Literally has bend down backwards even if we are winning.

 

[Mohraheem]

Wounds still fresh??

There were no wounds just a third class player and his fans needed a reality check

 

[Major]

Faheem Ashraf bowling the last over...

its time Sarfraz fans apologies to everyone else.....

Who should have bowled it? Joginder Sharma?

So safraz as a coach/mentor fails in another tournament....

 

[Rana]

So safraz as a coach/mentor fails in another tournament....

Another? The 2013 Champions Trophy and 2015 World Cup were not Sarfaraz…and he didn’t run away in 2021 either..

 

[Major]

Coach Sarfraz lost to a zimbabwean player who landed in lahore 10 mins before toss and has been awake for 2 days.

Asay coaches ho tou Allah he malik hai....

Taptaan shpuld go back to buffer zone and farm his eid cow.

Coaching aint his cup of tea.

Lmao death bowler faheem ashraf

Sarfaraz fans always get humiliated in the end.

Sarfraz has already played more cricket for Pakistan than he deserved, was very lucky .

Humiliated how? QG was the most dominant team this season. In the same way india was the most dominant team in 2024 yet lost to AU in a one off encounter that happened to be a final?

That's a majority of Pakistani cricketers lol.

And some would have hated him if he was from KPK.

 

[Greenstorm]

Sarfaraz is a nice humble person but is there any evidence that he has any decision making power for QGs this season ? Seniority culture reigns supreme in Pakistan and I don't think Moin, Nadeem and Viv are letting Sarfaraz calling the shots.

Lol what dominance they struggled all season they won due to some brilliant performance from likes of Hasan nawaz russouw and few others.

Their captain midget saud is biggest loser of them all.
Quetta wants to get title they need to get rid of sarfraz garbage and saud midget

You can talk when rizwan wins us something for now

Rizwan and Sarfaraz are humble servants of Pakistan and I respect them both.
I can talk whenever I want and haters like you can do nothing about it.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Sarfraz has been with QG since its inception and has only one title to his name (credit for that)
He's a good man manager and tactician as far as white ball cricket is concerned.
After 5 seasons, QG managed a pretty good campaign. It doesn't change the fact that he failed in 5 previous seasons mostly as a batter and captain. Just like winning the test mace doesn't absolve Misbah of his failures or Aqib of his first 5 seasons with LQ and with Pak team.

 

[emranabbas]

Nah I always admired Sarfi's leadership skills.

I was putting you in place when you tried to bring region/race into this which is a habit of yours for some reason.

Putting me in place

looks like I've hurt a nerve by exposing the likes of you who hate sarfaraz and others for regional reasons or political reasons

Abhi bache ho baare ho ke Anna

Exposing .

I am not the one whose comment history is filled with hating on people from KPK and Balochistan.

A lot of his many learns are out here celebrating Sarfaraz losing a final

 

[Rana]

Yeah and Rizwan supporters love Misbah’s brand of crap cricket

They want T20 to be played in Test format

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Apologise for what exactly?

He had a good run as a captain and then was removed when the game was up.

He was good for a while but there was nothing exceptional about him nor was there any injustice.

As far as his coaching credentials go - take a look at the high profile coaches from around the world. Do you really think Safraz can go to toe to toe with them long term? There is no basis for some of the claims about Safraz whatsoever.

 

[Hyder]

If sarfraz such a great captain why did he suck life out of quetta in last 2 seasons as captain.
My apologies to the imad amir sarfraz fans for having early onset dementia.
Sarfraz had his moments but in no way he was a great.

 

[Hyder]

Infact sarfraz was the captain who broke our uae fortress

 

[Rana]

Infact sarfraz was the captain who broke our uae fortress

Why do you reaffirm my belief about you?

 

[pakistani pride]

Very poor thread and comments as well.
Its a game, one team has to lose. QG played good cricket overall and we as Pak cricket fans got a great final to see.

We should celebrate PSL having some really good games at the end. What is the point in blaming individuals here.

When was he mocked as captain before CT?

Look at some old threads. Misbah fans though Pakistan was finished after he retired.

Infact it ended after sarfi was kicked out

 

[Snowflake]

From what I remember, that wasn't a criticism of Sarfraz but was the effect of the wool that Misbah had pulled over majority fans' eyes while he was playing.

Most fans were convinced that now that Misbah has retired, we won't even be able to post 250 on board, an excuse to justify Misbah's batting approach... then we all saw how that logic went out the window when Pak toured Eng and consistently scored 330+ in the ODI series.

But I do not think anyone criticized Sarfraz before CT. Sarfraz was rightly removed as captain as he had ZERO performance as a batsman and had become a burden on the team.

If anyone criticized him as a coach for QG, then yeah maybe an apology is due.

 

[shah9425]

Satisfying to watch

Waterboy getting humiliated again

 

[shamaan]

Getting to the final is now called a Humiliation.

 

[alik]

Saud as captain makes so much sense when you consider Sarfaraz as the mentor lol. Both played poorly and let the team carry them but used the disguise of captaincy to justify their selection.

That's not true.

As soon as Azhar Ali was appointed some fans were justifying his selection as captain since misbah selected him.

When he started failing people wanted misbah as a coach.

No one wanted sarfi as captain and they scrutinised him in the basis of the fact that he himself is an average player.

They didn't actually understand that captaincy wise he was your best bet due to a past track record of PSL + domestic + Under 19.

As for sarfi, the only fair criticism for him is that by 2018-2019 he started to drop himself down the order and hide himself. He was more or less a specialist captain rather then a proper player for the side.

The other fair criticism is his test captaincy. He was awful as a test captain and should never have been appointed. Had pcb actually seen his test captaincy record they would have known that he was bloody terrible in test captaining.

If those were the grounds for his removal then they'd be justified, however blaming him for 2018 odi is wrong since Pakistan was always a mid card team that would get demolished in bi laterals. That was the case in misbah's era as well and azhar alias captaincy where we got mauled by Bangladesh etc etc.

But sarfi was a proven tournament captain. And a proper t20 captain. 2017 and 2019 were solid evidence, since 2017 we won and 2019 while average was still a much better outing then 2023, 2024 and 2025 which were clown shows from Pakistan.

 

[emranabbas]

Anti Pakistan just because I don't hate players from KP ? This is funny. I am enjoying your meltdown. This was long overdue.

Anti Pakistan because you think kpk Balochistan and India are bhai bhai

 

[emranabbas]

Because you didn't have to stoop down to his level just like I am not stooping down to your level in this exchange.

Also, how does this 'context' disprove your later claim that you never posted about Balochistan on this forum ?

This is nothing to do with you what goes on between him and me and on top of that your triggered because I pointed out their are group of cult supporters on here who will only support players if they are affiliated with a certain party or area the reason why sarfraz gets so much hate and your still upset about and crying like a teenager girl

 

[BouncerGuy]

Removed all useless and personal stuff..

Now try to stay civil and talk about the real topic or leave the thread peacefully.
