"No player will be selected in T20Is who doesn't have strike rate of 130-135+": Shahid Afridi

[mominsaigol]

Common man, Rizwan is a world class player, probably the greatest ever WK batsman produced by Pakistan.

You do realise that if rizwan played in moin Khan or rashid latif's era he'd Average far far less then them and at a much lower strike rate?

That era had thinner bats that required proper timing, very harsh pp rules, very lienant wide calls whereas now anything marginal down the legside is a wide and a one ball rule, a 2 new balls where the ball is barely 20 overs old makes it easy to score 300 to 320.

Rizwan can't time anything properly, besides inside our drive, that hoick and slog sweep he can't do much besides jab. Which he wouldn't be able to do with those bats.

The whole sarfraz or kamran akmal comparisons based of rizzu's average don't make sense. From 2015 to 2019 Pakistan played far more odi's and t20's with quality teams, Butler use casually slap 45 ball 100's.

From.2019 most teams have played ipl and the reason root, stokes, smith are struggling is because they haven't played any odi in these 4 years.

With this framchise stuff going on, fans send b to c teams which is why rizzu's average his so absurdly high and his sr is higher. Kamran and sarfi would have a much higher avg and sr if they played the teams rizzu has played.

Exclude the minnow game between nedtherlands and Sri lanka(toothless bowling) what's rizzu avg and sr this cup?

What about Asia cup? Exclude Nepal and Sri Lanka bashing, what's his avg and sr?

Rizzu can't play against quality teams or even semi decent attacks. Idk why it's so hard for people to figure this out. Chacha plays these types of bowling better then rizzu does lol

We need afridi back as selector

He’s a people’s pleaser selector

Any sane T20 selector will not pick 2 players who are supposed mainstay’s in the Pakistan line up. Afridi was continuing to empower them.

 

[FearlessRoar]

We need afridi back as selector

Only for T20Is , he does not understand Test cricket

 

[Rana]

7 batsmen with 120 balls divided between them: 17 balls each

that’s about 21 runs off 17 balls

21x 7= 147 runs if your top 7 have a minimum strike rate of 130.

 

[emranabbas]

Bring back afridi

 

[Rana]

Semi finalists of T20 World Cup in 2021
Asia cup finalists in 2022
Finalists in T20 World Cup in 2022

It was apparent from the Asia Cup that we were missing middle order hitters but no let's just throw away two batters who were consistently in the top 2 to 3 in the world rankings...

60 dot balls in 13.3 overs today

 

[Rana]

Afridi is a classic example of talking without thinking.

Technically he's saying that he will not select the captain of the Pakistan team in T20Is.

Well this aged well didn’t it? At least Pakistan isn’t toxic anymore like Karachi kings???

What a bunch of cope, lmao.

There is no guarantee those oldies would even sniff international cricket if they were playing today. The game is much more professional and there are no true "minnows" anymore. Even the 'B' and 'C' teams of today would destroy the average team of those days. Players are fitter, stronger and faster, this is a fact.

That said, cross-generational comparisons are nonsense, which is why comparing Rizzu to Rashid and Moin serves no purpose.

I do love how you put Sarfaraz in there, pretending that Sarfaraz played in a completely different era to Rizwan. Rizwan and Sarfaraz played in pretty much the same era and Rizwan has proven to be superior to Sarfraz is ever single aspect of cricket.

I'm sure you did. Doesn't make it false.

Is this tantrum because I, once again, showed you how Rizwan is far better than Sarfaraz?

Also, if you have such a hard time believing that the athletes of today are fitter, faster and stronger than athletes of the past, maybe read a book?

Claiming the B to C teams of today would demolish the average teams of the past is downright comical.

Just to clarify, NZ was seen as an avg team back then. They weren't as good as classic Australia but weren't downright bad enough to lose to Zimbabwe.

You're telling me B team Aus one without Travis head, Marsh, Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Stoinis and many others would beat a team filled with Craig Cummins, Steven Fleming, brendon mcullum, Daniel vettori, Kyle Mills and many others?

Pretty boy Spencer Johnson vs fleming

Your homoerotic comments about Spencer Johnson don't change the fact that athletes today are fitter, stronger and faster than athletes of the past.

Spencer Johnson of today would beat the Spencer Johnson of the past.

Athelets being fitter today has no bearing in cricket itself. That's just a general metric because the population today is 8B+ whereas 30 to 50 years ago it was 6.4B +.

Babar azam and rizwan are less fit then pretty much any classic Australian.

This is such a troll metric and a weird generalisation youre applying to cricket.

Lastly fitness has no bearing in skills set. Rohit sharma isn't an athletes, he's chubby but he's still a better odi batsmen then both bobby and rizzu.

Afridi is correct! Stop with Misbah tuktuk Mentality

I bet you genuinely believe that Muhammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are less fit than the beer guzzling average Aussie players that faded into obscurity. Like, I have no doubt that you actually believe this.

For anyone reading who genuinely wants to learn, read this: Are Athletes better today?

Fitness isn't everything but if we compare two average players, the one who is fitter would be the better cricket player even if he isn't as naturally skilled as the other one.

Muhammad Haris is a bigger asset to any team than Azam Khan.
