Saim plays better with Babar

Babar stabilisses the innings so Ayub can smash

I said it long back to drop Shaheen Afridi, now dropped here is the result.... PCB was not dared to do that due to Shahid Afridi

 

[BouncerGuy]

I thought that they will rest Naseem but dropping Shaheen was a heavy move... Salman Mirza did not disappoint.

Faheem was good also. Good to see Saim playing his favorite shot with more confidence and getting some runs under his belt.

Farhan was ordinary. He starts well but his dot balls is costing him and team big time.

Is it South Africa's "B" team? There is no Miller, Klassen, Markham and Stubbs in this team

Rabada missing too, Klaasen has retired from internationals for franchise $$$$

Salman Mirza Bowl way better than Shaheen, Naseem . He should get more chance regular

Shaheen is a league above Salman. Salman is too new and batters have mot played him much. His pace is also around 127-130kph. So don't think he will have better career than Shaheen.

Naseem on the other hand is overhyped tundler, who should never play ahead of Wasim Jnr.

Babar and Rizwan successfully beat England by 10 wickets

Babar scored a 100 vs South Africa in South Africa to get the total which was above 200

one was more than 4.5 Years ago

Against Eng it was 3 years ago. Eng played second string attack. In next game Eng brought in Mark wood who peppered him short ball above 150 KPH and he meekly gave away his wicket at deep third.

This guy has been woefully out of form Since Asia Cup 2022. Name one honorable innings played by this linj in last 3 years? Hardly any

Babar fans are something

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

lad is back

can we stop glorifying these shots ? This guy averaged 5 Runs in t20 Asia Cup

even Yesterday's Inning was sratchy. Drop catch and Edges.

One boundary from Babar on first ball and he Stil ended up with Sr of 61 just to remain not out. what was crowd cheering him for? Crowd cheers for him and he plays 18 ball 11 Runs knock in low to Zero pressure situation . and now social media is filled with that boundary reel

Babar stabilisses the innings so Ayub can smash

o kera stablises ? 50-60 Runs chaye te aur one down arha hota babar. ajeeb betukay fans hain babar k

Babar played according to situation , his presence at crease always gives Saim an extra gear. Sometime in cricket you have to take your time

Babar played according to your situation as always

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?

It's a second-string South African side. Nothing wrong with enjoying the win but I don't see the need to get overexcited either.

Mohammed Wasim Jr. and Abbas Afridi are two bowlers who have been really poorly treated in this obsession with Shaheen, Naseem, Rauf.

Shaheen's selection could be justified because he's an x-factor player who can change the game on a dime, but I don't understand the fixation with the other when common sense and logic says otherwise.

Abbas Afridi is a bowler tailormade for T20, actually bowls with some brains, is a wicket taker, and he's not even in the squad. Wasim has some pace and bowl yorkers at the death which makes him a good replacement for Rauf. But I can't even recall the last time he played a T20I.

It’s absurd that Wasim is a permanent bench warmer. You’d understand we had the Ws and Shoaib akhtar in the XI, but with our resources, to not try him is absolutely ridiculous

Yeah nobody is saying he's the second coming of Wasim or Waqar but the fixation with Naseem and Rauf despite their complete lack of performance is absurd
