Pakistan (143/2) clinch a historic ODI series win with a commanding 8-wicket victory over Australia (140) in the 3rd ODI, securing the series 2-1

2nd highest? He and saim were the only ones who batted in the last 2 games 🤣🤣🤣.

Come on atleast you can do better then that.
Don't try to change the goal post now. I never called him my favorite opener. He played well in this series and proved you wrong
 
Challo let’s see a bit of bounce by Rizwan

Man I really wanted to see a 10 wicket win. Both of them threw their wickets away

Also @RedwoodOriginal ? Why did you advocate for Rizwan when he averages 19 in the England test series and 29 in a low level cup 🤣

Sorry to see that you have to resort to personal insults because the quality of your posts has gone to the dogs.

I am way too old to be indulging in mom and sister and wife retorts, even though I had the perfect reply to put your ass on fire.
You started it with an unnecessary personal attack, but now you are playing victim after getting a dose of your medicine. Typical.
 
What does this game have to do with Asif Ali?

Rizwan is still a poor T20 player, slowing things down in the powerplay, and shouldn't even be in the team, let alone being captain. Asif Ali remains a better choice for T20.

For someone with such a "high IQ," and watched cricket all your life your you still can’t differentiate between formats T20 ODI and Tests lanaat on that so-called high IQ Of yours
Rizwan is a thousand times better T20 player than Asif.
 
Don't try to change the goal post now that you'e been made to look like a complete clown. I never called him my favorite opener so stop lying. He played well in this series and proved you wrong. Be a man and fess up instead of acting like a coward as you always do
Why would I fess up, you believe chasing low totals results in performance?

Where was he during the 1st game? When he was asked to put a decent total on the scorecard?

And getting out after being dropped in the 3rd gake chasing such a low score is unforgivable.

But it's a shame you live in stats world. No wonder you believe rizzu is the God of spin in test cricket 🤣
 
Did you have the courage to ask this question when Pakistan lost to USA?
Nothing has changed on this front on since 2020. Rizwan has been the undisputed best WK batsman in the country by a mile for 4-5 years now.

I ask again - who should replace him? You don’t have the cojones to take this question, so let’s wait for others.
 
Pakistan can still lose this game from here as two guys who have been at the forefront of so many Pakistan defeats have had to make the crease
 
In fact, let me ask the wider group.

Let’s agree that Rizwan is the worst WK Batsman in history, so who should replace him in Pakistan now? And what will the replacement do that Rizwan has not been able to do?

Does anyone have the courage to answer these questions?
That guy who once scored 42 against some club team in some rando domestic competition

They won't lose magar I wouldn't be surprised if these 2 get out lol

I'd rather live in a stats world than a world where someone thinks that a guy who averages 15 should be captain of Pakistan and be opening the batting

I didn't state that. Rana said so, so argue with him, but who am I kidding, he's already smoked you on this topic.

Now go explain the nuisance of Spin Bradman getting out to rehan and labu
 
Some strange behaviour here honestly. Pakistan are about to win an ODI series in Australia since their last series win 22 years ago. Instead of worrying or complaining about who is or isn't the captain, just savour and enjoy the victory. It's rarely experienced vs Australia to begin with.
Funny thing is his critics have no alternative as a captain or as a wicket keeper batsman to replace him but still want him out. It's called criticising for the sake of criticism. Khawa makhwa ka panga.

Personally for me,

Rizwan for ODI's and Tests

For T20's I think Riz is too slow with the bat, but as you say, there is no real alternative at the moment. Usman Khan / Azam Khan can't keep well. Haseebullah is also too slow with the bat & Harris can't score beyond 2 digits
 
They are also at home. Saim and Abdullah who are deflating the Aussies are new openers and the ones playing in alien conditions.
Saim has a very good List A record from memory.

I already said that OZ batting stocks are weak. Doesnt matter if they are playing at home. They don't have good records even in List A

Batting averages of these batters in List A

McGurk - 29
Short - 33
Hardie - 19
Inglis - 31
Connolly - 17
Stoinis - 29

Tbh Rizwan shouldn't even be in the T20 team. I think he's a really good player but he is simply not cut out for T20 cricket. Haris was the man for that format but he hasn't done himself any favors with his recent performances.
 
What's funny is instead of commending the bowlers who led Pakistan to a win, the usual suspects are acting like Rizwan struck 3 centuries and then marshalled his troops with genius tactics to somehow overthrow a world class Australian team to oblivion.

Australia were so bored they couldn't even bother to pick half their team for the decider.

Even a clown could captain this side to a win in last ODI.

The deliberate dishonesty is just unreal.
Before the serious we were told how scary JFM will be, and how good Inglish is as a hard hitting wicketkeeper batsman, and Smith the Goat will eat Pakistan alive, and not to mighty Maxwell would have fun with Pakistani bowlers, and even Short is in great form. Realistically only one decent player Head is missing and as I said before Pakistan have some too including Fakhar. So cut down on excuses please.
 
What are these 2 clowns doing?espncricinfo scoreboard has barely updated since these 2 come on the crease?
 
Lol Pakistan jeet gya and these Aussies are crying about ODI cricket.
 
This series is going to have the same effect as the 2021 game vs India

Celebrate as much as you guys want but when we are humiliated in the champions trophy and Asia Cup don’t come crying about how Pakistan cricket is dead
You mean like how Pakistan were humiliated in the 2018 Asia Cup under Sarfaraz?
 
Tuktuk .. this game should’ve been finished in 20 overs .. what are we doing .. did Misbah told them to do tuktuk

They’ve all owned Pakistan where it has mattered. They will do it again
 
It’s celebration time, and nothing compares to a cup of ilachi wali chai with cake rusk and a touch of mithai! I know it’s a unique combo, but I’ll work it off at the gym tomorrow. Pakistan Zindabad! Much love to all of you!!
 
What an epic phainta

How can Australia recover from this given the declining interest in odi in general.

They were never. Great t20 side. They are mainly kings only in odi.

But post 2002, this is their first loss to Pakistan in a bilateral series down under.

Is this a new era for Pakistan? They have now beaten the world number number 1 convincingly.

They favourites to win the champions trophy surely and the next WC?

Was just about to post this. Well done. Atleast the others have legitimate previous reasons to hate certain players, this guy can't look past Karachi.

T20 in general should be for younger players and to identify talent and then work their way up to odi and test. Only in Pakistan its taken so serious.

Babar and rizwan suit odi and tests only and should even open in odis. Would be ideal for them to tuk tuk 20 overs and put a big start on the board

Abhi match baaqi hai bhai, dont get kaaky
 
We have more international trophies than series wins in Australia in the last 20 years so this is pretty huge
Many years ago, I started a thread that what would the fans prefer: Pak test series win in Australia Vs a World Cup win. I was a minority favouring the former but my opinion hasn't changed...what I wouldn't give to see Aussies beaten on their home turf in tests in my lifetime!

Quick question. I do agree with the rest. But who on earth said smith and Maxwell would eat pak?

JFM and inglis yes, infact I myself have also claimed it.

But smith and Maxwell have been finished for a quite a while now? They didn't do Jack in the England series?

It's just steve smith even in his current form is slightly superior to every batter in pakistan. Only saim and fakhar when onsong are better atm.

These 2 are finished. I don't recall anyone hyping these 2.

Inglis, Short and JFM yes
 
To be fair to Inglis, he definitely makes the Pakistan bench. As far JFM is concerned, he will have a hard time getting into the Pakistan A squad.

Are we sure he is not a product of nepotism? Surely, Australia have better players than him in domestic cricket.
