King Bobby!!!
No intent to play aerial shots in the PP, bowl him a full toss outside off and he’ll place it beautifully between mid off and cover for a 4.

probably something to do with the period when he played. JOhnson is an active cricketer. He only made 69 in 25 balls 2 days back. May be he catches up rapidly after a slow start.

And to think there have been supporters of KamiBabar Azam has a strike rate of 91.5 in powerplays which is the second lowest in T20 World Cup
Can he get going during the first six overs in this edition?

Kamran played over a decade ago
According to stats from over a decade ago, Rizwan is a better T20 batsman than Adam Gilchrist

what the hell kamran is doing here in this list?
he was such a destructive openner in T20 cricket Pakistan ever had.

Sample size is not so small for Kami as he played 21 match and around 235 balls.

That's because his avg is low meaning he fails alot. Not because he doesn't Try to attack like Bobby.

This is just a hoax that he was destructive. His career strike rate in 119.
You can call Imran Nazir, a destructive opener.

We can add fakhar zaman to that list as well. He is also a slow starter. Not sure what his strike rate is in PP?

If you began watching T20 cricket in 2007, it was just a shorter version of ODIs. However, since around 2015, it has transformed into a more aggressive format. I don't recall Kamran Akmal playing after 2015, so comparing him with today's batsmen isn't fair.
Even ODIs have evolved; scores of 400 were unheard of back then, and a strike rate of 80 was considered good in ODIs, while 120 was decent in T20s.

Then these stats have no point because there is always a way out when these kinds of comparisons pops up.

Stats without context lack significance.
This is why averages for players like Babar and Rizwan, or Fakhar being considered the best batsman at number 4, hold no meaning without context.
For instance, if we rely solely on stats, as @mominsaigol mentioned yesterday,
Imad Wasim would be the best ODI number 7 Pakistani batsman ever because he averages over 40. However, his high average is due to numerous not outs, not because he's consistently scoring 40+ runs.
From what I recall, players like the Akmal brothers, Shahid Afridi, Nasir Jamshed, and Sharjeel were highly regarded, similar to how Fakhar is highly praised today.

There was no era in T20 where a sub 100 SR was acceptable in the powerplay.
it wasn't acceptable in Kami's time, and it's certainly not acceptable from Babar.

That's not accurate even for openers. Kamran Akmal played until 2012, and between 2005 and 2012, only Shane Watson had a strike rate of 150, followed by Chris Gayle at 144 and David Warner at 138. Everyone else was below that mark. (Min 20 matches)
Since Babar Azam's debut in 2017, you've had Finn Allen with a strike rate of 163, Colin Munro in the 160s, and both Alex Hales and Jos Buttler in the 150s, along with many other openers striking in the 140s, 150s, and 160s.
De kock guptill sharma etc are all in their 140s when in kamis era it was only gayle

I was replying to a poster who was discussing kamis overall average not the 92.7 in worldcups
I think you replied to the wrong post

I have been watching sharjeel play for a while. Dude is a pace lacer, also I was impressed by how he played in Australia, every other player that we have is clueless against Bilo bounce.
But sharjeel is poor against spin

Unless it’s some dolly spinner like Shadab
Guys like Zampa, Adil Rashid, Sodhi and Shamsi will be smashed by him.

Sodhi, Shamsi yes.
Zampa and rashid will get him out. Regardless that doesn't matter.
The idea isn't to bat the full 20 overs like ignorant people here suggest. The idea is to utilise the PP, which sharjeel can, you can't bat full 20 overs every game. It's impossible, That's why the bobby/rizzu strat has caused us to go at no 7 cause only 4 outcomes happen against top sides.
A) Slow PP and then out causing the team to be crippled.
B) Early wickets putting pressure on 4/5/6.
C) Bat through and being 10-25 runs short.
D) Bat through and managing to chase supar totals at the 19th. Only occasionally against weak attack will 200 be chased.
Edit: By bat full 20, I meant for openers and single individuals only, not the entire team
