Young Pakistani cricket fans make me really depressed about this sports future in the country.

Cheering at the fall of a wicket, for someone hasn’t done anything of note in the last god knows many innings, just tells you the level of understanding our fans have about the game.

They know he js the best batsman we have produced in last 20 years. But celebrating fall of a wicket is not right, agreed on that.
 
Today I was expecting nail biters contests but 2 one sided matches ruined my friday. First India vs AUS now SA vs Pakistan.
 
That record shows he was very good in the past. But he is in very poor form now. Seems to have actually regressed quite a lot
 
Good job. I am hoping Pakistan win the series. The nation needs to see some positives ahead of the WC🙏

Hope u saw that today , Shaheen out and his replacements are getting wickets. Shaheen gets wicket in the 1st over and then gets hammered everywhere. If he doesn’t take a wicket in 1st over then even worse. Unfortunately he is the ODI captain

And Babar is again seen struggling to rotate strike against spinners in the middle overs , the same problem both Rizwan and Babar had and is why they were kept out. Pakistan should have moved on from Babar and Rizwan in T20s.

Secondly Usman khan got saved today without getting into the crease to bat, which is going to kill Pak in the future games.
One of the worst batters to come out of the system.

Oh no does this mean it will affect our NRR and we won’t make the finals tomorrow.

Lack of cricketing awareness as usual by Babar haters lol. The situation doesn’t require him to attack.
 
Keep tuk tuk Babar out of T20 team, these tuk tuk players are good for nothing, play selfish innings & bring the team down. Better to stick with big hitters in this format.
 
Enjoy the win! It’s weird to see fans complain even after winning so comprehensively. You’ll have your opportunities to be critical again, but what’s the point of wrist slitting after a win?
 
Salman Agha in the post match ceremony:

They outplayed us the other day and we did the same today. Happy to play the decider tomorrow. This is what you expect from us. When you bowl that well upfront, picking 4 wickets then you win the game. Everyone bowled really well. Naseem is working hard and learning every single day, he is someone who is as a back up for Shaheen. He (Saim Ayub) is someone who you have to give time and hopefully he can put up more such innings in the future.

The only thing he has attacked in his life is probably a Biryani.
 
Babar played according to situation , his presence at crease always gives Saim an extra gear. Sometime in cricket you have to take your time

Sorry mate what situation a proper t20 player would have closed the game 11 of 18 balls is a joke he had a platform to make 25 of 11 balls but he played like a test match
 
Salman Ali Mirza shared following thoughts in post match press conference today:

🏏 On Team Selection and Preparation
* "It doesn't matter if you're a regular starter, waiting in line, or replacing someone; your job is to continue your preparation."
* "Whenever you get a chance, you have to accept what you are and grab the opportunity."
* "I don't think it makes a difference whether you're in the playing eleven or if you've been dropped. Whenever you get a chance, you have to be ready."
* "My one constant is to just be yourself, stay ready, and continue your preparations. When you get a chance, you must grab that opportunity."

🗣️ On Coaches' Instructions and Execution
* "The coaching plan is that even if the ball is hit for runs, you can change your plan. You must back up and bank on your skills."
* "The instructions were to perform and maintain the level of performance I gave—or even better."
* "If you follow the process, put in a lot of hard work, and bank on that, then even if you have a bad day, good days will definitely come. The result doesn't matter."
* "The special plan is to stay in the stumps. If conditions allow, we should bowl faster and use variations, or reduce them and go towards a specific plan."

🏟️ On Playing in Lahore and Home Crowd Support
* "Since I play for Lahore Qalandars, it's our home ground."
* "There are many benefits to playing in Lahore because the conditions are our own."
* "Pressure is always there, especially when you misfield or drop a catch. But if you dwell on that moment and let it lead to more mistakes, it's detrimental. It's better to move to the next moment and perform better to cover the mistake."
* "When you know your conditions and have the support of the people, you definitely benefit. When the team is under pressure, if the home crowd supports you, you should cover up properly and enjoy it."
Would you like me to focus on a particular section for further refinement, such as making the quotes sound more like commentary?

Imagine waxing lyrical about a T20 innings where 11 runs were scored off 18 balls when the rest of the side were striking above 160. This cult is unhinged 🤣

After playing 130 T20s Babar must take lead and try to dominate every game. He is not at the end of his career or a tailender that he will give strike to his partner. This approach will never help Babar to develop his game, in fact this will eventually end his career sooner than later

His career should be over already. PCB wants eye balls in the stadium I guess that’s why he has been given this series.

Pathetic player, player mindset.
 
The reason why I got annoyed with Babar was his insistence to open in T20. On top of it, he joined his buddy Rizwan. Rizwan always belonged to lower middle vs Babar upper middle. The less we talk about PCB idiots, the better. They have ALWAYS given in to the star players CHODHRAHAT. IF Rizwan demands to bat at 4, PCB says, yes Sir. If Babar demands to open, the answer is yes boss. Pakistan and unprofessionalism is synonymous!
