So far Rizwan is easily ahead in t20 and test. But in odi Travis edges out.
.
From where you brought Rizwan in the discussion of best all format batsman?
Travis Head is comfortably best 
@Ab Fan brought the idea up. He mentioned somewhere Rizwan is one of the best all format batters in the world. I have thought long and hard about this. He may have a pointFrom where you brought Rizwan in the discussion of best all format batsman?
Head averages 40 with a sr of 101
He averages 42 actually and it's gone to 43 now after today's knock and so has that sr.
Most versatile Actor ever was Marlon Brando
Wasn’t Rizwan’s 130* v Sri Lanka in the 2023 World Cup one of the greatest knocks by someone in a Pakistan shirt?
Why a troll thread?
Are you sure? They have very similar numbers
Babar is the best all format batsman in the world out of form
Yes. Primarily because of his two Final innings in WTC and WC23.
Just a way to make yourself feel good or validate that there is something where Rizwan lacks or fails.
But Rizwan’s 130* v Sri Lanka? And his runs against Australia? And his 50ish average in T20i with 29 50s???
Where has anyone criticised Rizwan? I have highlighted all of his good work in all formats recently…where has anyone said he lacks in this thread? He’s getting mentioned with Travis Head, what’s the issue here?
The dumb people are those who think Head is better than Rizwan.
Tbh Travis is the best batter atm even no indian come close to him.
Why do you have an issue with it? For you rizwan is a goat?
Rizwan has better stats or close to better stats than Head in all formats@Rana bhai, what a wild comparison... I already thought Rizwan was batting like T20 mode with Travis Head's crazy strike rate
The problem with you guys is that you look for every opportunity to hate Riz knowing very well that he is Pakistan’s best performer and a leader.
Are we not acknowledging this in this thread?
TM Head's T20i strike rate is 160.49
What good is a strike rate of 160 if you can’t guarantee 50 runs??
You already know why I hate rizzu and I've gone on and on about the 2020 days and how misbah and he ruined player careers.
Bro bro we're talking about T20i cricket. we don't need 50s in it, we just need a rapid Powerplay
Naw, we need 55 of 49 again, it led us to glory in asia cup 2022
But we have no Gayles or Sharma’s in our domestic. Rizwan is our brand. We need his 120sr and 50 runs
It’s not his fault, he did his job. The other batters have no excuse, they are all equipped to chase 12-15 runs per over
Sorry sir, I should have known that nawaz was more then well equipped to chase 60 of 23
Honestly, I'm fed up with Pakistan's cricket standards. Their T20 batting is frustrating to watch.
Their t20 and their odi batting. The reason I critiszed Babar is because look at how aussie batters bat(not talking about Travis but literally all of them) and look at how pakistani batters bat.
It’s all about match ups as Babar masterfully sent him up to number 4 against India earlier on. Babar the captain had that whit about him. It kind of deserted him that day and he should have sent Nawaz instead of Iftikhar. Rizwan was doing his job, Chacha didn’t take off. It was a chance missed and poor old Rizwan got the blame…
Well, I have to settle with this because this is how it is. To be honest, there's no one in our domestic cricket who can deliver runs in all formats except Rizwan, and this is the only reason Rizwan is appreciated in Pakistan. But if Rizwan weren't Pakistani, I'm sure he wouldn't even find a place in the Afghanistan cricket team.
When Rizwan goes, will we even reach 50 runs as an international side?
If it is T20Is and ODIs, Travis Head will take Mir Hamza to the cleaners
We are actually dreaming here of what Travis Head always do with India, and after that impressive innings in ICC T20 World Cup 2021, our Rizwan will do the same someday
You don’t believe he is better than Head?
100% agreed
To add to this,
Poor attempt at trolling as always. Head would bat aggressively for Pakistan, that is how he is effective. If he bats not so aggressively, he won’t succeed. He knows what works for him.
Look I have to disagree here
With all due respect, Rizwan would never find a place in the Australian dugout, mainly because their not looking at things like you are.
The question I pose to you is,
Finally. Someone who sees it from my POV.
Plus, you gotta give it to Rizwan for his other talents too. He’s the Principal of the National School of Drama where Gulbadin Naib studied.
I’m sure Misbah will teach him how to perfecly play the scoop! And play a long, responsible innings, not wild irresponsible slogs.
This is an all format thing. Travis Head’s moustache is a an all format rip off/lame attempt at trying to look cool and trendy. Why doesn’t he try the all format lip zinc like Rizwan?
Brother I thin you are trolling here. The scoop is clearly not Misbah’s strong shot. He can play it but it was a judgement of error against the pace of Joginder Sharma. There are shots Misbah is very strong at, such as the Optimus Prime one knee reverse sweep with a mediumish bat speed. One of the rare players of this shot and he never failed to pull it off. This shot in Head’s Arsenal will take him to the level of Babar in PSL 9. He played some exquisite shots against Hunain Shah
I could troll Misbah but never Rizz
Are you sure? 126 SR in current era! He should be dropped from T20. Most runs will be meanigless if you score at 126 SR in current era.
Ok I am all ears today. Tell me your solution.
My solution is that If you wish to be a competitive team, one that can actually compete on the big stages and not be a joke 24/7, then you need to revamp the entire culture.
It's not pointless, the goal of cricket is to win tournaments for your country and compete on the big stage and not have a dog fight between your own players.
The solution is to accept your solution
If the comparison is pointless, then international competition is pointless too. It is pointless for a player to represent their country if you cannot compare them with the best of other countries. The comparison is valid. Rizwan is the pride of Pakistan cricket, and right now Travis Head is the pride of Australia.
Exactly, you don't see Afghanistan complaining. Look how far they've progressed
IMO Gurbaz is trying to emulate the wrong all format batter
I really don't get it man, Afghanistan in recent times all play modern era cricket and every single one of them in 2023 world cup would always bat at a strike rate of 100+, with the exception of zadran who still bats at 90+ when set but takes a bit of time.
This is another strong reason why I believe Rizwan is a better all format batter than Head. When push comes to shove, who is better equipped to anchor their side in a run chase that requires close to run a ball? The answer is an emphatic Rizwan, not Travis Head. Rizwan has been honing this skill playing BPL and Canada League whilst idiots like Head, McGurk, Pooran, Allen, Salt etc have not been preparing by playing unnecessarily attacking cricket in the IPL and USA league….
