Not defending Babar, but he is miles ahead of Saim, Haris, and even Fakhar when it comes to handling spin. At least Babar can get behind the ball and play it with the full face of the bat, rotating strike with singles. The others look one-dimensional — they just walk in and swing for boundaries. Not once this series have I seen them play spin with confidence or without doubt. Rashid, Noor, and Mujeeb have literally made them dance every time.

Not saying that the others are doing better, but Babar has a terrible reccord against Rashid.

What did I say about Haris in my previous post , lol. Biggest hack ever to play for Pakistan.
 
Haris currently bats like he has no clue of how to bat at all

The management may need to look at something before the Asia Cup.

Honestly, this is more than basic spin

not easy to bat on at all. i think if we can get 140 it could be enough

You can watch India and Sri Lanka blow these guys to kingdom come soon, our boys are not able to play basic spin.

Besides Hasan Nawaz, they have not even been able to get bat to ball.
 
Haris should be kicked out of the team whether you replace with Rizwan or someone else.
 
So Rizwan is coming back?
I swear to Allah I will stop watching this team if Rizwan comes back in this t20i team and will only start watching again when he is not there again.
 
predictable from Haris

Clueless against spin as always

Basically you're saying there's no batting talent in Pak.

I have been following pakistan cricket for more than 2 decades. This is the worst i have seen. Technically looks woeful. Trigger movement, feet movement, picking different type of deliveries they are behind in so many areas. You don't judge players by how many sixes they hit. You look at how they negotiate each delivery. You have to look at shot selection. It is just awful. They are trying to create Tim Davids, Nicholas poorans out of these guys.

haris wth

these guys should see what the wicket is doing, respect it. and not swing aimlessly

I think Haris should be dropped.

He has technical issues. Can't play spin and can't play on sluggish surfaces. He needs flat pitches to do well. Also, he seems to be out of form.
 
At this rate, Rizwan and Babar ll be back for the Asia Cup Super 4 stage itself.....
 
Pakistan's body language and attitude this series has been woeful.

They need a kick up the backside for the Asia Cup.

To me, his biggest red flag is that he averages 25 in FC cricket (after 13 games) and 29 in List A (after 50 games)

it suggests he just doesnt know how to construct an innings

They are bad advt for T20. But one of them has to be with this side. Their idea of having a deep bating line up right. But personnel they have are found wanting. This is not like it is an young side. Fakhar 35 ( possibly more than that), Salman Agha 32, Nawaz 31, Farhan is almost 30.

Lol sri lanka just got embarrassed by zimbabve with 80 all out only india can play spin
 
we all knew there will be trial by spin and these batters failed again.

Do not know the obsession to play aerial shots against Mystery spinners who are very good at foxing you.

The target here needed is not 170 Rather 150. Add the pressure of Final. why cant this lot read the game situation if they cant read spinners?
 
Pitch is not that bad as the scorecard suggests. It's pakistan brainfade movement again..they alway play like this when put under pressure. The body language of Pakistan players looks really down the moment they comes to bat. May be this generation of Pakistan players lacks confidence and they are too brittle and softy

They're under pressure because Babar and Rizwan who are far superior to them have been punished by the morons.

So they are aware they can be out too in a blink of an eye
 
Agha had no clue against Kuldeep too. But they keep calling him best player against spin. Chewing gum won't make you viv Richards. He has to understan that.

I want to back him.

But it can't be doing him much good personally either stringing up these low scores time and time again.

Yes. He can just slog a bit. Not a good batter. Records are poor.

Haris Rauf, Shaheen, and Naseem have better batting techniques than Haris.

He's better than others in the team. It's all relative though
 
Intent without skill or planning or does not work
 
Shot selection has been very poor from some players here.
 
But but but new era

But but but modern cricket

But but but new template

But but but Babar and Rizwan were the problem

But but but we have turned a corner

But but but play Haris at 3 and he will transform into Buttler

But but but justice for Sahibzada

But but but Fakhar is so aggressive

Players deserve criticism but the extent of the criticism is unknown until we see both teams bat. The dismissal were self inflicted but the pitch seems difficult so there is pressure to score.

Pakistan now need to just get to a total that is over 120
 
Haris needs to be dropped so he can become a full time coach to Babar Azam
 
Looking at available wicket keeping options getting sarfraz out of retirement might not be bad lol 😁
 
Afghanistan is the dark horse for Asia Cup. I wouldn't be surprised if they go to final and even win it.

So you do want Pakistan wicket keeper to score lot more than 10 runs and keep wickets cleanly?
