Mohammad Rizwan "The criticism seems to be dying down a bit, so I must be doing something right"

International hundreds against who? South Africa’s c team bowlers?

Better than anything sharjeel has done. The only international century in all forms of cricket which sharjeel has is against Ireland. Have some decency before questioning other players when your hero has only done it against Ireland Lool.

Sharjeel will score 120+ on his day against these same bowlers if he faces 50-60 balls

Believe that.

What bowlers? Currently he is playing at a test SR in Bpl and is warming the bench. Proper teams know exactly where he belongs which is warming the bench.
 
Sharjeel actually has around 25 runs and has been dropped by his team lol. I mean the standard of that league is several levels below international level and he’s struggling.
Exactly. You can't look at things individually. Bringing Butler or Warner into a Rizwan comparison is unfair since he's not competing with them. He's competing with Sharjeel and others and is miles ahead. If Sharjeel was so good he would have been smashing it in BPL.
 
Yes just like it was last year when rizwan outscored him by a couple of hundred runs i believe. Keep up.

That doesn't count. The only thing that counts is what the guy that wanted AA as captain wants to count. Riz has limitations, not as good as what we want him to be but way better than the fat fixers. My solution is to drop hm/ rest him to force to him to improve. As I predicted with Sarfi and Riz, our players need lots of competition. They get to comfy, too quickly with the senior tag.

Drop him please

And trust me, that will be the end of him

I agree, the only problem is that his day will come once every 20 innings, meaning he will flop 19 times very badly. He will lose you more.
 
I dont care what he thinks, he has opinions and i have mine. As soon as someone is banned, he should never play for PK again.

Tbf. I agree with this as well. They should be banned for life in all competitive cricket not just international.

However, there are rules which allow them to return in place currently. I guess if they have served their punishment they can return according to the rules

Let them a earn a living playing franchise cricket after serving their bans. PK should never ever pick any guy that has been done for anything to do with fixing
 
Rizwan is to T20 batting what sohail tanvir was to t20 bowling. Stats look good, but when you finally do remove him you realise you never needed him

At least Sohail Tanvir had all the tools. :)

Rizwan's only scoring shot is the in the slot leg side hoick.

This part is gold.

If anyone needs to sum up Rizwan in T20 its this line.

Waiting patiently for the day he will be removed. Until then i guess your tears won't stop streaming.

No one is teary eyed over a player who anchors a 20 over match.

However, they are plenty of ignorants who go into "rapturous applause" as he hits his 50 off 40 balls in the 13th over with the team at 80-0 with 7 overs remaining.

It's interesting as i think the other side are ignorant to the fact that the cupboard is bare and that batting is incredibly poor in Pakistan. Babar and Rizwan are the only ones holding it together. I'm happy to agree to disagree.

However several things are clear - Rizwan is an automatic pick right now, he is picking up accolades left right and centre, and the fantasies about replacing him are just fantasies because it isn't happening any time soon :)
 
Rizwan speaking in an interview:

“I was never hurt when I was benched during PSL in the past. I thought they were honest with the team, and it was the team’s requirement at the time to keep me on the bench"
 
Rizwan also said that he himself asked the team management to drop him for the NZ series because he wasn’t performing and Sarfaraz deserved a chance.

What a load of crap. Just the usual PR dramaybaazi by Rizwan, but it is good to see that most people are tired of his antics now.
 
Multan Sultans is scheduled to play in 72 hours

The captain Mohammad Rizwan is the only captain who has not yet returned to Pakistan and join his team for practice

What are the PCB doing? Shahid Afridi clearly said NOCs were issued to Pak players to participate in the BPL as long as they return 10 days before the PSL begins

Najam Sethi ordered the immediate return of all Pakistan players. Rizwan is still in Bangladesh and has been making round trips to Nepal as well.

What’s going on??

Just heard the interview

It’s like saying the management had no authority to drop him so he did them a favour by requesting to be dropped

What a liar! Shahid Afridi intervened and forced Babar’s hand. Babar wasn’t going to drop him and Rizwan would play cricket at 3am in the morning if he had to. None of what he says or does makes sense! Rich coming from such a self righteous person

The Sarfraz should come and clarify this. Lol 3 am and all that rubbish sounds a story from a Bollywood movie.

The story from a Bollywood movie is the one where Rizwan was in the ICU the evening before the semi final

Thats an issues for multan sultans management Why are you so worried when you clearly are not a fan of him? This fascination of yours about all things rizwan seems pretty unhealthy to me

Multan Sultans decision.

It was left to the franchises to decide when the players that weren't needed in the exhibition match would return to Pakistan ahead of the PSL.

What a brilliant take from Rizwan in his final game for Comilla today

<div style="width: 100%; height: 0px; position: relative; padding-bottom: 100.000%;"><iframe src="https://streamable.com/e/2ij7o1" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="100%" allowfullscreen style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;"></iframe></div>
 
Didn’t Rizwan catch a flight to Bangladesh a hour after losing the 3rd ODI and series against NZ?

I mean what on earth has that got to do with the question I asked and secondly what do you want him to do walk by foot to Bangladesh? You seem to have a problem with him in everything. At least try to hide your hate for him. You have an unhealthy obsession with him. Your whole day seems to revolve around rizwan in what he does or says.
 
He left today which is the day agreed with Multan Sultans.

But why is he getting special preference? (And khushdil for that matter)

What is the PCB chief doing giving these big statements about national interest and at the same time not keeping an eye on the white ball keeper not returning back as soon as he makes the statement?

Babar is practicing with his franchise
Shaheen is practicing with his franchise
Imad is practicing with his franchise
Sarfaraz is practicing with his franchise

Shadab as usual is in holiday mood

Rizwan is playing a low league as BPL 3 days before the first PSL match!
 
If that's what's agreed then fair enough but he shouldn't not get preference.

I repeat - it was left to the franchises to decide when the players that weren't needed in the exhibition match would return to Pakistan ahead of the PSL.

Still he will outperform KK. Wait and watch
 
How, with a 110 sr?

Think you don't quite understand the idea of team games.

Rizwan is one cog in a machine which if it performs well will lift the Trophy again.

His SR will be immaterial/irrelevant.

Let the PSL happen, and see which TEAM wins most and then let's talk.

Wasn’t that the case for Sarfaraz? His team was number 1

But you all had an issue with him.

I am not Rizwan’s enemy. I am just the mirror of truth.

The issue was with his attitude and his results and his keeping.

But please stay on topic. You are worried about his Strike Rate and we are talking about PSL.

When Sarfaraz next lifts the trophy then we can talk about it further.
 
Health warning...

75 off 50.

Can't really argue with that.

Shan was slow though - 35 off 31.
 
Did nothing wrong today - very good innings!

However. Shan was pathetic. We still think that someone needs to play second fiddle when one batsman is on song. Such outdated approach

Has the mirror cracked today? Your silly posts only happen when he fails.
 
Fair point. It's about winning and he didn't win. But its not just his responsibility, there are 10 other paid players

When you play more than half the Innings then it's your responsibility to guide your team throw to the end.
 
It was his responsibility to make sure they he was thier right till they end and he failed to do that.

He wouldve been criticised for being selfish n consuming too many balls if he batted 20 overs

He laid the foundations for the win The rest of the batters had no excuse to score the remaining n win the game

But he his strike rate was more than exceptable so consuming balls wasnt the issue.
 
If anyone wants to point the finger at any Sultans batters today, it should be Shan and Miller and certainly not Rizwan.

I don't think this was a deliberate measure from Shan, he just can't do it any other way.

Rizwan is absolutely brilliant at finding gaps and running hard which makes up for his limitations in hitting. Shan doesn't possess these skills.
 
This innings was the worst, couldnt time the balls half of the time and on top throwing it away at the most crucial moment.

Lol. Blind Rizwan haters really are losing all credibility the more he goes on.

A leg stump yorker from Shaheen isn't going to be classed as 'throwing it away' by anyone with any understanding of cricket.
 
Rizwan is rightly to blame. It's a t20 where batters don't have enough overs to settle. Once an opener made a 50 , its his job to finish off.
This approach can be acceptable in 50 over game but both riz and shan game plan was wrong from the beginning. If you haven't loose any wicket in 3 starting overs, it's time to take on bowlers.
 
If anyone wants to point the finger at any Sultans batters today, it should be Shan and Miller and certainly not Rizwan.
Scored too slowly in powerplay to set a RRR of 12 in the last 5 overs. There you go.

That is why Multan lost.
 
They needed 45 off 26 balls with 8 wickets in hand when Rizwan was out.

Miller and Pollard still to come - they should have won that.
 
I think it was a decent knock from Rizwan but there were issues from the 'take the game deep' philosophy that made things difficult for MS.

When you know you have overs remaining from the likes of Haris, Shaheen and Zaman then they should have cashed in hard on the other bowlers.

Letting Wiese, Dawson and Talat bowl 6 overs for 48 runs was criminal.

I dont blame Rizwan too much today but in general Pakistani batters need to cut loose earlier and learn to put the opposing captain under pressure.
 
I couldn’t watch the MS innings.

Well batted on scorecard tbf. As usual, abandons his team and doesn’t get the job done
