Love ithaha love how Shaheen promotes himself above Wise and Raza
tbh i don't mind him as captain of our Test team. He seemed like he had better strategies compared to Babar.Shan is the type of guy who gets to inherit and become the ceo of his daddy's company only to bankrupt said company and wonder how could things go wrong?
I hate nepotism so much, probs the luckiest cricketer to ever be captain of our side.
Not just the captains everyone in Pakistan who has power does so it's nothing new.That’s ok Shaheen
Do what all these captains do: misuse power
Well, before Babar and Rizwan started the trend in cricket…it only remained with people doing it, not national cricketersNot just the captains everyone in Pakistan who has power does so it's nothing new.
To give KK a chance to qualiy I guessWhy did Lahore even drop Farhan for Baig?
Fair enoughTo give KK a chance to qualiy I guess
Bye ShafiqueAbdullah 50 (36), after a really slow start. Let's see how he goes in the death overs. I'm curious to see if he can really up it
Another poor turn out in Karachi for a home game.
Guess the final will be the same too.
I don't think those two care or anyone else except for LQ fans hahahaLove it
Its a slap in the face of Babar and Rizwan who also misuse their power as captains
Of course those two don’t care. They only care about themselves. Not Pakistan.I don't think those two care or anyone else except for LQ fans hahaha
Respectfully disagree,tbh i don't mind him as captain of our Test team. He seemed like he had better strategies compared to Babar.
Not yet because he is playing. Once he drops himself than he will be doing the right thing.Shan finally doing the right thing lol
Respectfully disagree,
In 2017 we won champions trophy but later dropped sarfraz simply because the team was losing, declining and the captains own lack of form, fitness was deteriorating, it didn't help that Sarfraz's batting order was unclear and that he kept shouting or causing drama on the field.
Shan is no different except he doesn't even have a trophy to boot. Batting wise he hasn't shown results besides maybe a one hit wonder 50 here and their once in a blue moon. It's not like he's shown results as a captain either, we lost all 3 games on the dot against Australia. The only excuse fans can make is that it was his first tenure or that our team is inexperienced or that we suck in Australia but let's be honest their excuses.
In this psl he hasn't shown or done anything, karachi is barely alive at this point and he tends to get into fueds as well just like sarfi did.
So we dropped sarfi for the same criteria but are keeping shan for the exact same criteria?
Babar was a bad captain but I can understand why he was made captain because he was and arguably still is our best bat to date minus fakhar's occasional wonders. Similarly sarfraz wasn't the best player but he had a portfolio of being a succesful captain for a short stint as well as occasional heroics during the 2015 World cup.
Shan has neither the portfolio, nor the ability and unlike bevuma who the south african dug out respects so at the very least he's justifiable as a captain, no one in pur dug out respects Shan one bit. Babar made that clear when he was captain that he was forced. Other openers like fakhar, Imam made that clear as well.
Shaheen 3 slot balls in row
The problem that I have with his feuds is that every player can just shut him up by sayingI get your point, but I think the circumstances between Sarfaraz and Shan are different.
Shan was only appointed captain after Babar's meh WC performance. I agree that Shan doesn't have much basis to be Test test captain except that he captained a couple of county teams. And TBH he probably only captained Yorkshire because they wanted a brown captain as a PR move after allegations of racism in their club. But regardless, I liked his aggression in Aus and some of his strategies. Pak had a good chance of winning the 2nd test down under but their fielding really let them down badly.
As for PSL, he has batted terribly. His captaincy has been okay-ish. kk have a terrible squad and imo i like the way he has rotated his bowlers a lot and some of his fielding placments. And tbh i do like his fueds, makes it more fun to watch.
Looks like a characterTayyab Abbas not doing anything to comfort foreigners in pakistan

Also let me wager something today, in terms of strategy, what are the odds that Shan masood will take KK home and over the lineI get your point, but I think the circumstances between Sarfaraz and Shan are different.

" Tu apna bhoota to dekh" which obviously doesn't apply for good players such as babar, Babar even if he's a bad captain can scold and talk down to players and players will listen cause babar despite his frustrating sr is clearly the most rounded established batsmen for Pakistan. Even if you're a babar hater, you can't deny his achievements are far far superior to anyone in our current circuit.
As for strategies are concerned, any player given enough time and education can formulate strategies but that doesn't justify anything. Misbah's fielding strategies were on point and he was great, but fans hate misbah for clear politcal reasons, similarly Sarfraz's strategies were decent enough in that 2017 was great and 2019 wc campaign was not as disastrous as 2023 wc( although bowling fakhar to pandya in 2017 final was dumb), but fans still wanted sarfi gone due to form, a poor 2018 run etc.
My point is, none of this matters, at the end of the day here are the stats
Performance wise Shan is abysmal and doesn't even warrant a place in the squad.
Results wise, We lost 3 matches on the dot in his first captaincy tenure.
In this game or in PSL 9?Also let me wager something today, in terms of strategy, what are the odds that Shan masood will take KK home and over the line
No bro, in this game, what are the odds Shan will take KK home? My guess is if he takes KK home, then I'm changing my name and converting to Christianity.In this game or in PSL 9?
His decision to come at #3 was ok, he should have probably demoted himself lower though
See thats the thing, I don't understand how he achieved that record?Yes, performance-wise, he doesn't deserve a place in the side. But to be fair to him, he has one hell of a List-A record, but as ODI's become irrelevant and as he is already 34 I think we need to look to the future.
I just liked his strategies. I think he did better than Shaheen as T20 skipper. T20 is probably our strongest format and Shaheen lost 4-1 in NZ and has lost like 6-7 PSL games and LQ was the first team to get knocked out.

Bhai, he has to take KK home, I'll dump my head in Holy water when the time comes, which it won't.Let me baptise you hahah

He's an all rounder.So why is Arafat playing
Is he a batter then after all that hoo ha for his inclusion
ahahha, looks like you don't need to water board yourself anytime soon. Still, 24 (16) at #3 is a lot less worse than we have seen from himBhai, he has to take KK home, I'll dump my head in Holy water when the time comes, which it won't.

He should've been given an over instead of Pollard.He's an all rounder.

Never mindTayyab Abbas looks like the type of bowler Pollard would tonk all day every day
As soon as I make this comment, he gets out lolMan I haven't seen pollard play in a while, but I'm pretty sure he's a has been now.
