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

Weren't they in similar situation against UAE. But for the drops they would have gone in the same direction.
 
Highly polarized fan group. Either this or that. They are trying to find some excuses, reasons to justify their repeatedly hackish batting in various conditions against various lower ranked sides.
 
Afghanistan have 4 spinners today --> Rashid, Noor, Ghazanfar, Nabi.

All 4 are very good.

Simple thing is Pakistan have talentless bunch of cricketers ATM. Doesn't matter who they play they are going to be exposed in one way or the other

Yes for sure. They haven't covered themselves in glory, but we should temper the overall criticism until we get the full picture.

People are already advocating for Rizwan and Babar as of they could negotiate this easily.
 
So you are telling me rizwan doesnt get into the team bcz we have haris?
 
Salman agha is playing one of worst knock I have ever seen just like that rizwan legside's knock against India in 2024 world cup.
 
This is RizBar type scoring wicket. Doubt we'll see such low scoring wickets in Asia Cup or WT20

I'm aware but bro what do you want from me? Not only did i apologise but I already put you and @Sachin fan as the 2 most underrated posters on this forumn?

You guys dont get credit but both of you are genuine gems even if I disgaree with the 2 of you at times?

Plus your 2nd quality is that both of you are super respectful and have been able to handle my hot headed moments as well 😅.

Genuinely the 2 of you are great posters even if we dont see eye to eye and I respect the 2 of you tremendously.

To be fair you don't need extraordinary talent to play in T20. But Pakistan batsmen don't even meet the barest threasholds. Look at the UAE hitters. Waseem, Asif. Theyjust stand and whack exhibiting their power hitting. Just 3 or 4 decent batsmen are enough. 4 very good T20 batsmen with power hitting abitlity with consistency in various conditions > 8 hackish batsmen who may or may not come off
 
Pakistan need to take it deep. Try to score 140 to keep the hope alive for their fans..
 
This new attacking era seems far worse than the previous tuck tuck era... I'm confused I thought removing the only batsmen who knew how to pace an innings and replacing them with hacks was meant to mean we would play exciting, winning cricket???

hard to defend m haris now

27 games, average of 17, sr of 138

shaheen has a batting average of 12 for comparison
 
Get lost man. This is way too embarrassing
11 off 22 in a T20 game.
Who made him the captain.
 
Agha is playing like a chicken. Needs to slog his way out now.

Thanks for that brother.

But i dont see this lot handling the pressure in even bigger teams against even better players

Tried to back haris but intent isn't everything
 
He can hit only that shot when the ball is pitched outside leg.
He is a terrible player of spin bowling this salman agha
 
Lol still couldn't get his strike rate to 100
Awful knock comes to an end.
24 off 27 balls.

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

Who is this guy in the pic 🤣🤣
 
Pakistan might get to 130 here if they don't lose another wicket. I don't see them getting 140.
 
Rashid Khan aankh dikha ra hai because we're minnows.
We were once a proud cricketing nation 😢
 
Pakistan is legit minnow level at the moment. Not sure how half of these mediocre cricketers tricked the entire country into believing they are world beaters because of performances in a seriously weak domestic T20 competition that has worse intentional players than even Bangladesh Premier League

This team will get crushed against bigger teams lol obviously. But give it time. Not with haris, but hopefully future talent cones through.

Pakistan has always been a mid card team historically. Its just post 2021 it has become a minnow.

I'll he happy if it reaches Mid Card Status again.
 
Pakistan are lucky that Afghanistan lack the ability to close off games otherwise against any other team this would have been done a few overs ago

So you do want Pakistan wicket keeper to score lot more than 10 runs and keep wickets cleanly?
Click to expand...
I know I am sounding dumb but if it means Rizwan won't come back than yes I am okay with his 10 runs as well. I dont want legwan back but yes if there is another replacement like any fearless younger batsmen than yes why not? Throw this tulla haris out of this team.
 
Faheem and Nawaz should open the innings I’m sure they will do better
 
As bad as we’ve been, Rashid Khan should be livid they haven’t cleaned Pakistan up yet

We are the worst affected side by the rise of T20 cricket. Our systemic faults meant we were not equipped to deal with the transition

Chill, young brother. They can still win. Faheem and Nawaz key with both bat and ball.

I can't beat you, end of story. Neither in arguments, not in predictions, nor in semantics nor in superstitions.

All i can do, is consistently push for an eventual victory. 🫠
 
Need Khushdil And talat to solidify the batting . Harris and sahibzada sit out
 
Faheem in a couple of deliveries faced has already shown more batting talent than most of the guys who came before him. Certainly levels above Haris.
