Haris is not my hero.

I dont care if he fails all 5 and gets dumped out as long as his replacement are NOT your heroes.

The constipated pair of Rizbar.

Best ever from Pak those 2.

A country that has produced T20I openers like shahzaib Hasan, Nasir Jamshed, Salman butt, Kamran Akmal , Ahmed Shahzad etc must have shown some respect to Rizbab.
 
Chalo yaar. Enough entertainment for today. I am off☺️

All wickets barring Niazi's fell because of extra bounce. Only Salman has adapted to these conditions.

Because he's a proper batsmen. Hence the justice for agha thread.

Proper batters usually adjust even if he has a poor t20 record, more chances of him functioning in cricket then haris or Hasan nawaz.

Hasan Nawaz has some talent imo.
He is a bit raw atm and needs to play fc cricket.

You Rizwan concubines won’t care if he are relegated to division 3 cricket, all that matters to you traitors is that him and his nexus get to stat pad and loot our cricket heritage
 
The ones who carried the batting today are Agha, Shadab, and Shaheen. They're really showing who the seniors are on the side. Impressed by them. With any sort of support, this could have been 160 easy

They need to play Usman Khan. His technique may not be suited for these pitches but he does possess hunger for runs and would be more suited to playing over niazi atm.

Haris can slot in at 4 since you can slot in anywhere, Usman should open

Niazi is completly unsuited for whiteball. He's no different then ba/riz lol.

Same goes for agha however Agha atleast has shown that he has a good t20 record at no 3. He's useless at any other number however.

If he plays at no 3.then that's okay but I doubt they'll let him if ba/riz come back which they most likely will knowing pcb.
 
Good positive attitude today.

None of the batsmen wanted to score runs for themselves.

This is how a team should be like.

Obviously, there are problems as Haris and Hasan probably not the best opening pair but we can work around that.

As I say, the process matters.

End results will come eventually.

Niazi domestic t20 record : 27 avgz 131 SR
Haris: 23 avg, 145 SR

Niazi also has only 1 50 despite batting at 3 or 4 in domestics compared to 14 from.haris.

Haris has clearly been better in domestic t20.

So we can say that Haris is another domestic bully like many other who have come before him...
 
I'd expect NZ to chase this but honestly not bad to be honest. A lot of our batsmen simply just struggled to bounce and adapt to the conditions.

Either way, the aggressive approach is a breath of fresh air. Does it require better execution? Absolutely. And that will come with time but at least the boys are not trying to play for their numbers and doing what they can to up the ante. Maybe you get players like Fakhar/Saim into the squad who can play longer innings instead of rookies like Hassan & Abdul who look to be out of their depth, the team may have enough fire power.
 
Pretty good score considering first 6 overs and wickets falling. Need to back this team till entire series.

Fakhar and Saim will make it much better team tbh.
 
Probably well short but it was okay in parts.

I liked Salman's effort; he can improve his game through hard work.

For the younger batsmen, they will need to rework their approach at the crease. A few of them were running down the wicket and striking from an unstable base. It might work in Pakistan but you will get found out on a bouncier surface such as the ones found in NZ.

One positive for them is they will be playing the upcoming major tournaments in Asian conditions, so these hurdles won't be there.
 
Finn scored 137 last time he played on this ground... and still beat Pakistan by 1 run here...LOL

The only domestic bully has been chacha who has phenomenal numbers in domestic but horrible numbers in international however people ignore that chacha is useless in champion cups, Or QEA or PSL.

He's good in B grade leagues that Sharjeel Khan at age 37 is playing atm like president cups which explains his high stats, Very similar to masir jamshed and imran farhat and how PCB used those numbers to justify their place in 2013 CT and 2015WC.

Haris is not a domestic bully at all, since he genuinely fails in List A, barely plays FC but when he does play, he's useless.

I'm pointing out his domestic t20 stats. He performed well during acc whenever he captained and some of these players will become future superstars for India.

Then he performed well in PSL a few years back pre wahab riaz era etc etc.

He's been a circus clown in international yes where he has only performed vs Bangladesh

But it doesn't change the fact he's been good in domestic t20 where he's clearly played good rapid fire 50 knocks.

Farhan is another one of those guys who shine at domestic level but is a tail-ender on international level...
 
After a long long time, Pakistani batting unit has approached a T20I like a modern T20I ought to. Results will come, but this is the right approach. Go boys!!

They’ve given themselves a chance for once!
 
NZ is so friendly towards Pakistan.

Imo they should use the gullable nature of PCB and schedule an Ashes or BGT like 5 match test series vs Pakistan in their own NZ den.

Guaranteed spot to WTC final if that happens. Their Pakistani brothers can finally do them a favour and help them win one medal 🤣🤣

Except for the fact that they never bothered to actually play him in the right format.

He's never played odi or test in his life despite clearly being better in those formats where he avg 41 and 40 in both formats(list A and FC). He's a far better option then parchi hurraira atm

If you look at his t20 numbers, their not good at all. His sr is 129 which is the exact same as Ba/riz ans he avg 29-30 which is okayish. To top it off he's played nearly 100 domestic t20 and hasn't performed anywhere putside of B leagues where he's scored some hundreds.

He's useless in PSL.

You gotta look at context. Farhan is another horrible front foot player but he's a strong lad with a powerful backfoot similar to Gill..obviously Gill is better but these sorts of players are just better in odi and tests.

Although Gill had reinvented himself in t20 after his wc drop.
