[Kriketer]

Can't beleive Pakistanis complain about Rizwan and Babar when our majority replacements are absolute average players like Tayyab

 

[mango_bite77]

Babar never saves us from a collapse,he is always part of collapse.

If he is the first one to go, that means others fail to handle the situation.

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar never saves us from a collapse,he is always part of collapse.

He used to...but you have to go back to 2019 World Cup against the Kiwis when he last played a meaningful in an ODI tournament....that was 6 years ago...and he has only gotten worse

 

[Ahmed216]

This is all on Babar, Abdullah and Rizwan.

Their slow knock mean batters have to take unnecessary risks like Tayyab was forced to

 

[imshally81]

Bowled emm

 

[mango_bite77]

Ok Niazi now, T20 learning starts now

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan now falling like 9 pins

 

[Ahmed216]

Ho gayi win?

 

[Greenstorm]

No currently agha is little bit better than fakhar.

No he is not. Fakhar is underrated by Pakistanis.

 

[Savak]

Why press the fat tub of lard Tayyab Tahir for singles? Game Awareness Salman Ali Agha?

 

[jamie smith fan]

90 off 60 is still gettable.
Irfan parchi gone.

 

[honey29695]

Now what the use of extra batters
Niazi and Tayyab

 

[Nasty Naz]

Irfan golden duck. lol these guys are hilariously bad.

So glad we are playing these specialist batsmen at 6/7 and playing a bowler short for this level of batting.

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar never saves us from a collapse,he is always part of collapse.

I'm aware but that's the story they set usually. We lost 2 wickets so we wanted to stablise, but unfortunately we were 10 runs short.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need 92 runs in 60 balls.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Babar should have finished this match.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Most trending player in Pakistan cricket circle gone for first ball duck @Rana

 

[mango_bite77]

This is all on Babar, Abdullah and Rizwan.

Their slow knock mean batters have to take unnecessary risks like Tayyab was forced to

What risk Tayyab and Niazi took ? Please man, stop this nonsense, criticise when required, not just for the sake of it.

90 off 66, is not a pressure situation with 60mtr boundaries

 

[m.shah]

Mentally unstable players

 

[Greenstorm]

Salman has to play a blinder here for us to win.

 

[mominsaigol]

This is why insaid irfan Khan is useless in odi. It's madness to select someone with a List A avg of 27 and hope he succeeds.

He ain't a 19 year old youngsters who you can experiment with

 

[PakFan2010]

Irfan Khan is a waste of space.

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar should have finished this match.

He did

 

[Kriketer]

Another so called young (Irfan) replacmenet of Rizbabar showed his class. Our domestic is ridiculous

 

[NeVerMind]

Look on the bright side...at least we are not deluding ourselves after winning meaningless bilateral series against C list attacks...we know what is going to happen once we enter a real torunament so can keep our expectations to the first round knockouts that we have been accustomed to....

 

[mango_bite77]

He is useless in all formats.

 

[Hellion]

Only 3 bowlers with Nathan Smith being one of them is as weak a bowling attack as you can get.

 

[Barragan]

Terrible call by Agha to call Tayyab for a run

Tayyab is a good batsman and is very unlucky today

Irfan Khan on the other hand is mediocre and hasn't shown anything of substance

 

[BouncerGuy]

YOU GUYS NEED TO STAY ON TOPIC...WATCH YOUR POSTS

 

[Hellion]

@The Bald Eagle Haanji. This is the Irfan Niazi who you said was going to be dearly missed in Champions Trophy

 

[Croma]

What happened to that fighter all rounder, Aamer Jamaal

 

[Nasty Naz]

Rest of the batters are so bad and it would take some sort of miraculous innings from Salman to make bulk of the runs.

 

[Ahmed216]

What risk Tayyab and Niazi took ? Please man, stop this nonsense, criticise when required, not just for the sake of it.

90 off 66, is not a pressure situation with 60mtr boundaries

It came down to 99 off 66 because of Agha's exceptional knock from get go.

At one point they needed 175 off 120 with inexperienced players like Irfan and tayyab to follow.

This is not how you chase 345. Block everything first up and then hope everything falls into place after over number 30

 

[PakPremi]

Babar never saves us from a collapse,he is always part of collapse.

Babar is not a great batsman but he scored most of his runs when collapsed has happened at the top. You obviously missed most of his innings.

 

[BouncerGuy]

there was never a run there,

https://twitter.com/x/status/1905858254183256326

 

[NeVerMind]

We have no real bench strength which is why we keep persisting with the likes of RizBar...mark my words...both will return for the T20 squad for the Asia Cup and the World Cup next year, and both will fail again at the biggest stage

 

[Croma]

Simple fact is.... Pakistan have forgotten how to win matches.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Haris and Akif can also bat

3 overs from Abbas and 3 from Smith

It's doable

 

[imshally81]

Still getable

 

[Hawkeye]

Guys do not forget.

This is Pakistan's BEST team against NZ's D team!!!!

Yet they are struggling with their superstars Rizwan, Babar, Naseem!

 

[Ahmed216]

What risk Tayyab and Niazi took ? Please man, stop this nonsense, criticise when required, not just for the sake of it.

90 off 66, is not a pressure situation with 60mtr boundaries

A sneaky run attempt is a risk. So if trying to play a full blooded cut on the first ball

 

[RyanRyan10]

Excellent 50 from Pakistan's best player

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar is not a great batsman but he scored most of his runs when collapsed has happened at the top. You obviously missed most of his innings.

2 wickets is not collapse bhai

 

[mominsaigol]

He is useless in all formats.

He has a fc avg of 45 in tests so might be worth a try in red ball only. In odi and t20 hell no

 

[BouncerGuy]

Usual collapse...

 

[NeVerMind]

Babar is not a great batsman but he scored most of his runs when collapsed has happened at the top. You obviously missed most of his innings.

I watched from the beginning..he struggled against a C list attack t the beginning, manage dro score some runs in the middle and then failed to take us over the finish line...what do you think will happen when the proper bowlers return in an ICC tournament? No need to wonder...just cast your eyes to the last two or three past tournaments...

 

[Kriketer]

This is all on Babar, Abdullah and Rizwan.

Their slow knock mean batters have to take unnecessary risks like Tayyab was forced to

Hate to break it to you but gully cricketers like Tayyab are not even worth comparing to the likes of Rizwan and Babar. In past 6-7 years we are yet to see any promising young player who could be even worth mentioning or comparing to the likes of Rizwan and Babar. Salman and Saim I should add are coming up nicely though, so they all together make a good lineup

 

[Aami]

Pakistan cricket at its best ...
Babar ki sakhti aaj ...
2 new kids found wanting ... chop and change please

 

[PakPremi]

Babar should have finished this match.

Typical Pakistani fans blame the guy who is trying., and cherish the hacks who can not even last two overs.

 

[NeVerMind]

Give me Agha anyday over the likes of Riz and Babar...in fact he should be the all format Kuptaan...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Agha is quality

 

[followed]

Zimbo is the reason Pakistan is in this position. He did absolutely nothing just like that misbah guy used to do.

 

[Marooned]

Hate to break it to you but gully cricketers like Tayyab are not even worth comparing to the likes of Rizwan and Babar. In past 6-7 years we are yet to see any promising young player who could be even worth mentioning or comparing to the likes of Rizwan and Babar

And how many players did you try?

Kinda hard to find replacements when you have them hogg spots even in bilateral vs Zim Ireland ,bdesh

 

[mominsaigol]

We have no real bench strength which is why we keep persisting with the likes of RizBar...mark my words...both will return for the T20 squad for the Asia Cup and the World Cup next year, and both will fail again at the biggest stage

We do if we actually give them a run bhai.

Saim ayub, Maaz Sadaqat, Usman Khan( ik his technique is ugly but he disnt do too poorly today played better then Abdullah), Hussain talat and Haider Ali(on current form), Mubasir Khan, Salman Ali Agha and many others are talented.

They are not as talented as India, Australia, NZ backups but they can work andnturn pak into a mid card team.

Currently pak would struggle vs Bangladesh lol

 

[Greenstorm]

This is why insaid irfan Khan is useless in odi. It's madness to select someone with a List A avg of 27 and hope he succeeds.

He ain't a 19 year old youngsters who you can experiment with

He has list A hundred and FC avg of 45. Not a bad guy to give opportunities. Has the right attitude with probably the best fitness in Pakistan.

 

[NeVerMind]

Typical Pakistani fans blame the guy who is trying., and cherish the hacks who can not even last two overs.

Missing the point...Tayyab and Niazi are hacks...but Babar can't finish a game anymore, even against a mediocre attack (not since 2019)

 

[jamie smith fan]

Irfan Should never play for pak again,he is useless.
I wuldeven take umar akmal over him.

 

[Ahmed216]

We'll know how good other players are only if Rizwan and Babar leave them some balls to face

Zimbo has scored over 6000 runs yet he can't win matches for the team.

 

[Marooned]

A shafiq and Irfan are totally undeserving of this chance.

Tayyab has Earned his chance.

Kg discarded without a fair chance.

Haseebullah yet to be given a chance even after 51 avg and 9 list A centuries.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Zimbo has scored over 6000 runs yet he can't win matches for the team.

Irfan getting golden duck, tayyab getting run out... How is everything Babar's fault???

Get the Violins out someone

Clown Moment for Naseem

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Babar should have finished this match.

could nt be more spot on

Irfan getting golden duck, tayyab getting run out... How is everything Babar's fault???

He came to bat in 14th over and wasted so many balls let the run rate build up and then disappeared as usual.

 

[Kriketer]

And how many players did you try?

Kinda hard to find replacements when you have them hogg spots even in bilateral vs Zim Ireland ,bdesh

Fair enough but seeing our bench strength, I don't think we would be winning even those if Rizbabar aren't there

 

[Nasty Naz]

Comical. Salman didn't want to take the single there, Naseem forces the single and then gets out next ball.

 

[Greenstorm]

Harris and Akif should try to attack. They can't take singles.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Typical Pakistani fans blame the guy who is trying., and cherish the hacks who can not even last two overs.

They’re mostly expat Pakistanis many of whom don’t understand basics of cricket

 

[jamie smith fan]

Gone.
Clownery show.

This is not NZ c bowling attack BTW it B+ with only Henry missing the rest missing are no better than the ones playing.

 

[mominsaigol]

In test yes. Odi and t20 no

 

[khyberlion]

Tayyab a good batsmen. Good joke.

 

[NeVerMind]

Irfan getting golden duck, tayyab getting run out... How is everything Babar's fault???

Because the likes of Babar and Riz have failed at the biggest stages of cricket that we have to tolerate the likes of Tayib and Niazi..of the RizBar combo actually performed when it really mattered, we wouldn't need to experiment with hacks like these...anyway time for bed..don't know whether I bother these days...

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Irfan getting golden duck, tayyab getting run out... How is everything Babar's fault???

Did Chapman get out after scoring 70 odd? he took more time than babar to get going early on but he has gears that babar does nt.. Salman had to up the ante which should have been babar and then he took on best bowler of the opposition? Letting Bracewell get away with good figures. These things come back to bite
