New Zealand v Pakistan | 5th T20I | Christchurch | Jan 21 | Pakistan Innings

[Dr_Bassim]

We just need to play Uganda or PNG again.

Or maybe a 3rd string England or someone like Junior Dala.

These players might chase 200 even in T20.

ifti chachamania loading....

I've not followed cricket in as much depth over the recent years so my opinion isn't worth a great deal

I think he's good but not great, also he's the least of our problems

Think we've got quite a few other problems in the side

I do think the team lacks an opener that can score at a higher rate, Finn Allen for example has shown the value of having a much higher strike rate, much rather have a lower average but a much bigger strike rate. Whether those players exist is another matter

Fair enough

Where have you been? You, OXY, AJ

Some of the legendary, iconic posters here.

 

[Darkrai]

Time to watch UFC instead of this garbage.

 

[adzzy786]

Chacha gone hahahahahaahahah

 

[Kroll]

An insult to the history of previous all rounders that have played for Pakistan...forget Razzaq, Afridi or Azhar Mahmood, he's not even a poor man Hafeez or Malik...

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why this 40+ year old keeps getting, chance after chance?

Iftimania bro, Iftimania, all the youngsters are lapping it up.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Can this please be the last time we see this absolute fraud play for Pakistan?

How on earth is Ifti a regular? Seriously, what am I missing?

 

[Rana]

Time to watch Eurosport I recon. Would rather watch some netball

Dude he’s Rizwan’s best friend. He’s going nowhere

 

[NeVerMind]

Chacha fails again...and I feel nothing...just don't have the energy

Just got busy with life and following cricket with the same intensity just wasn't viable

Would always check scores but committing to watching full 5 days or even a full ODI just wasn't possible

Football has always been my primary passion so that always took priority over cricket

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Im only waiting for Fin Allen to smash our greatest t20 bowlers for fun

One word - Iftimania its all the rage.

 

[Rana]

Never mind bro

Never mind

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Why do I keep wasting 3 hours every time?

 

[NeVerMind]

Never mind bro

Never mind

Yet, here I am, watching this shambles on the telly when it's nearly 1:30 am...who is the bigger idiot?

Good man

 

[YousafTheBeast]

I’m just glad I was old enough to enjoy the good times of Pakistan cricket.

The times of Afridi, Razzaq, Nazir, Akhtar, Inzi, Moyo, Guldozer etc

 

[Rana]

It’s better to face up to our most humiliating times as supporters than to just ignore them.

This will be our history. Always stay a part of it.

This series was meant to give new players complete chances . Instead Ifti played all 5 games

 

[Rana]

Keep going Farhan

Your a top lad

 

[batandballbattle]

chalo at least some confidence building for the newbie

 

[t_kaay]

Shoaib Malik just got married again, showing he still has what it takes......might as well bring him back, can't be any worse than this bunch......

 

[SamNJ]

Dude he’s Rizwan’s best friend. He’s going nowhere

Chacha is also the main data analyst of this team. He told Rizwan 150 is enough.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

It's baffling

He's played all 5 games, been utterly useless

Yet he'll be in the next squad

Nobody does rewarding failure quite like Pakistan cricket

 

[Rana]

chalo at least some confidence building for the newbie

His confidence is shot


He wasn’t considered good enough to open over Haseebullah

That’s a death blow. He batted after Nawaz and Iftikhar too

Birds of a feather

Often flock together

 

[SamNJ]

Shaheen the Lance Klusenar of PSL played like no. XI here.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

I’m just glad I was old enough to enjoy the good times of Pakistan cricket.

yes...those guys were crazy fun to watch - even for this indian fan...
SA running full ballast was an awesome sight in itslef- total box office, me and my bros would drop whatever we were doing when he was on!

[t_kaay]

Can't even set a run a ball target

 

[Rana]

Bro have you not yet become immune to our failure as a cricket nation?

 

[NeVerMind]

I’m just glad I was old enough to enjoy the good times of Pakistan cricket.

The times of Afridi, Razzaq, Nazir, Akhtar, Inzi, Moyo, Guldozer etc

I watched Razzaq and Azhar Mahmood, live, hit the ball into the upper echelons of Lords stadium. And this was before the advent of T20...
Now reduced to watching this timid bunch who cannot even clear the inner circle...

 

[t_kaay]

"We made some mistakes.....we will learn from them".........

 

[Asad T]

Shaheen really lacks game awareness. Just swining across the line everyball. He should have just tried to get Farhan on strike

 

[Rana]

They destroyed a beautiful team under Sarfaraz

All for nothing

 

[jnaveen1980]

62 balls faced by Rizwan/Babar (more than 50% of the balls) made 51 runs. Something could have been faced by youngsters.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Abbas embarrassing his more experienced colleagues with a couple of decent hits

 

[batandballbattle]

His confidence is shot


He wasn’t considered good enough to open over Haseebullah

That’s a death blow. He batted after Nawaz and Iftikhar too

yeah shoving him down at 7 is never good on a new player, he has to try and eak out his own confidence rather than being trusted

 

[Kroll]

Bro have you not yet become immune to our failure as a cricket nation?

I have, its just a reflection of the nation now.

 

[adzzy786]

This guy is better than our batters

 

[hitthestump]

This guy is better than our batters

Was just thinking the same. And not even just him.

All our fast bowlers seem to strike cleaner than our so called 'hitters' who can't even get it off the square

 

[NeVerMind]

Abbas has probably already outscored Chacha in one innings than what Chacha has scored this whole tour!

Chacha is an empty jersey, has no function or utility.

Get Hafeez to un-retire as well and we might save us some embarrassment, come the World Cup

 

[Aviator]

Iftikhar needs the same belt treatment that the crowd handed to khushdil shah....Crowd must take matter in their hands and boo the crap out of iftikhar..

 

[NeVerMind]

Ok, time to sleep...don't know why I keep doing this to myself, watching the same poor show over and over again and expect a different result....

 

[gazza619]

What a rubbish performance.

 

[gazza619]

Chacha is an empty jersey, has no function or utility.

NB He will still have his fans, Gazza is one such fan.

I still believe in Iftimania

This is what happens when you have a generation that make stars out of useless players, just cos they make a nice meme...
