What's new

Multan Sultans (163/2) beat Lahore Qalandars (135/9) by 28 runs

And when you criticise Rizwan his fans will come up look at his average and compare. Obviously his average will be good if he bats like this stays not out 53 of 51 balls.
If anyone actual watches the match and most they will know it was a very poor innings a 20 of 15 balls would be better then his innings today but. But that would been 20 average vs 51 lol
 
Imagine eating up all the strike and not letting red hot form Khushdil have a go

Terrible
 
Just like the awaam will kick out Babar from T20s

The awaam will also kick out Rizwan
 
Regardless of the pitch and bowling attack, if a team is only 2 down after 20 overs with a batsmen only scoring above a run a bowl it is a poor innings.

No doubt about it
 
Remember Lahore have struggled chasing totals below 160 in their last 2 outings. This score may well be enough in a high pressure match.

Others have bailed him out the big hitters like Rossouw, David, Khushdil. But won't happen every time. If he managed to push it more early Multans could got 180+ instead. Even in world cup all our fans where going gaga over babar and Rizwan average and getting runs but they were batting cautiously and even in semis we could got extra 15 runs but first 10 overs we were going just about 7 or less a over.
 
In T20 cricket, with Babar and Rizwan being the confirmed openers, it is in Pakistan interest especially when setting a score that they both are out by the 12th over as they don’t have a 6th gear.

Most overhyped cricketer from Pakistan currently. He hogs the top spot from deserving cricketers. Should be no where near the Twenty20 team.

I think you misspelled hardworking...serious question...why do Pakistanis have certain bias against players that last a lifetime no matter how much the player improves? I will never understand that but it may be a cultural thing...

unfortunately thats all what ifs, what if rizwan got out and we scored extra xxx runs, unfortunately you can only judge on the facts, facts are rizwan is t20i player of the year, one bad innings doesnt change that, the guys scored a 50 and its demed a failure yet players scoring 20 of 10 balls in a losing cause should be celebrated because atleast they showed intent and it might come off 1 game in 10, take babar and rizwan out the team we barely got a batting order let alone a team that will challenge at the world t20

It isn't a good sign for pak
They will ensure pak scores slowly for 10 overs

Lol Kicking Rizwan out of T20s and Partition hahahaahha
 
This is a very weird looking scorecard, akin to india against WI in T20 semis when India scored 190/3 on a flat pitch. Scorecard like 163/2 doesn't make any sense, either you should be 163/5+ or you should be 185+/2 in a T20 game.

Rizwan has had decent support from the other batsmen Babar hasn’t at the moment Rizwan is in good form but it won’t last forever problems will happen if he bats slowly in T20s opening the batting.

Either way with the current opening partnership in high scoring matches at the World Cup our chances of success are low other than weak bowling attacks and this will only be realised after it’s finished not before as Babar and Rizwan will open.
 
People criticise Babar for keeping talent out

What about Rizwan not selecting Muhammad Haris in the national T20 cup*

I agree when you have 8 wickets in hand , you are expected to go harder at the bowling
 
What a strange innings this by Rizz. Would we now see threads calling for Rizwan's ouster from the T20 side too?
 
silentkiller187 said:
who would you have in place of rizzy and babar just out of curiousity
Click to expand...

Both can still play but change the batting order.

Rizwan
Umar
Fakhar
Babar

If the team is 100-2 after 12 then another hitter can come in place of Babar basically Babars influence should be limited as he’s even slower than Rizwan and currently struggling to hit boundaries.

i agree to an extent, and defo am a advocate of moving Fakhar back up but the criticism for rizzy seems a tad bit over board especially when both teams havent even batted yet

umar akmal :)) thats how i know your not serious. Fakhar fair enough moves up and babar can move down agree with that part
 
Poor innings from rizwan. Regardless of the outcome.
This can make the difference as we saw in the world t20 semi vs australia where pak had batters in the hut.

Funny or not he’s a better hitter of fast bowling than most in Pakistan anyone can bat within themselves to boost their average opening quick runs are more important.

Relax bro.

Rizwan die hard fans only understand a certain kind of cricket which they want to see
 
Fakhar going at a good rate straight away

Shafique will play like Babar and Rizwan

The Misbah mentality of steady and slow cricket another product is in action Abdullah Shafique who will continue the legacy looks like in the future no wonder Pakistan cricket has no aggression and meekly surrenders to the best teams.

we have all seen his 6 hitting abilities in the last 10 years need to move away from TTFs
 
Is it me or Shafique likes to slap the ball more than time it?

TTFs is not true as Akmal never opened for Pakistan as a no 3 he averages 43 he should be given a chance opening as Fakhar does better at number 3.

If we didn’t move away from Rizwan’s garbage ODI and T20 batting for 6-7 years then why should we not afford the same to Umar Akmal?

How is he playing international cricket needs a lot of time in domestic and needs to improve his stroke play looks limited Haider should be given more preference in tests and ODIs.
 
This will not be an easy chase for LQ. People need to relax on crucifying Rizwan. Our fans are fickle.

Abdullah is all too occupied with technique yet is not good at it. His bat comes down at an angle we saw him getting bowled twice in BD with a massive gap between bat and pad.
He should focus on watching the ball closely and hitting it keep it simple. How u look while playing your shots isnt important.
Kamran ghulam is much much better fundamentally
 
Well done Rizwan for scolding Shahnawaz there

The guy doesn’t have the maturity to play hard cricket
 
Abdullah Shafique has been below par this tournament. He has a massive weakness against spinner and also his bat coming across. Needs to work on that.

Yes Rizwan has been playing for the the last 6 years consistently. I know you hate him but stop lying.
 
Kamran ghulam looks like a pretty good playet of spin bowling. Love how easily he rotates the strike. A definite option for the middle order.
 
Fakhar doing what Babar and Rizwan usually do this time round and putting too much pressure on his side
 
Multans have a good total on this pitch. This is not an easy pitch for stroke play
 
Fakhar 23 from 24.

Nearly halfway through the innings and opener has less than 100 strike rate. Conclusion? He must retire.
 
Rana said:
Nothing wrong with the pitch

The intent needs to be there
Click to expand...

Do you think Fakhar Zaman of all people does not have intent? Perhaps these professionals understand the conditions and pitch better than you. Maybe.
 
Should've take that first six if the fielder is smart enough.. now fakhar hit another one..
