How many players are zim missing, you can also call this a pak 2nd xi. Winning margin looks quite comfortable here, posters have been critical of certain players and have praised others rightly so.

What’s worse is the constant negativity of some posters, whether Pakistan is winning or losing its the same whining and moaning sounding like a broken record. Just enjoy the game it’s only sport there’s more important things to focus your energies on then get so worked up by a game.

Yes this negativity is only increasing with time on this forum. Guess covid lockdowns has effected people's psyche.

As per some Pak is always first xi irrespective of who sits out. Shaheen and Hassan didnt play against Srl, Aus, BD but that doesnt count because its Pak. Pak won the ODI series against SA with a non existent middle order of Danish and Asif but, again that counts as first xi.

Can give other examples but, different criterias to judge different teams.
 
Hasan Ali another wicket but no boom celebration this time - shame as I loved it

Yeah have been noticing his absence since a month now. Really hope [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] is fine.
 
Sharjeel dive :)) fielding like a 90s inzamam he’s got no reason to be in this team, especially when he can’t hit the ball.
 
I would rather hear the game on mute than listen to this Aqeel on commentary. He's just awful to listen to.
 
Boundaries are big and wicket is slow.

No matter how hard you try or even if you bring in the biggest hitters here its not going to be easy to hit a 6 here.
 
Full toss is a good ball on this big ground, nearly impossible to hit a 6.

Playing Bangladesh at home in a couple of months. That'll be a good test for them, hopefully with everyone fully fit and available.

Been a very competitive T20 series.

Babar in fact played a match winning knock, cry harder :)))

He certainly did and he allowed Rizwan to play with but more freedom because as both you and I know, new batsmen with older ball find it extremely difficult to hit out.

What surprises me is that complete lack of Cricket knowledge from so many posters here...
The Indians will troll come what May but the so-called Pakistani supporters are extremely disappointing

THIS! So glad someone said it.

The standard for the haters is always saying that this is the xi we would field in a final at Lords or MCG.

It allows them to setup their coping mechanisms ahead of time by setting an unreachable bar.

Bhaiyon just enjoy the game...even our best teams in previous decades played to the level of the opposition. It's what we do. Just enjoy the ups and downs of each game.

Neutrals who have nothing invested patriotism wise absolutely love watching our matches. Just enjoy Rizwan and Hasan ali
today's , next match it might be a fakhar 195 type innings...you never know with us.
 
Pakistan win by 24 runs.

I’m happy - the wrist slitters can log off till the next match and cry all about it.

See you till then.

Zimbabwe definitely deserve a lot more games but let's be honest here. The competitiveness was due to the conditions and team selection
 
Well played babar and rizwan, sharjeel needs to go , fakhar needs to play at 3 and the middle order still needs fixing. Arshad good find bowling still needs some fine tuning.
 
Congrats to Pakistani fans on winning a tight series against an evenly matched albeit depleted side. Also congrats on Babar being the fastest to 2000 runs and proving that he is superior to Virat Kohli in the process

Congrats to Pakistan for a outstanding series win against the mighty Zimbabwe. Great performances from all especially Sharjeel Khan whose performance today proves exactly why he should be opening over that rubbish cricketer Rizwan.

I also would like to say sorry to all posters for criticising the great Pakistan team. I am sorry that I did not accept Sharjeel's selection on the basis of him being an unfit match fixer. I am sorry that I criticised Hassan Ali for celebrating a wicket against a minnow team like winning the world cup and finally I am sorry for not being patriotic and celebrating this mediocre team.

Next time I will be better :(

The wrist slitters will disappear as well, they log off a bit later just after the Indian trolls.

Great that BD is also. Top performance by Zim for sure despite the conditions.
 
Geo super is so much better than PTV sports in terms of picture quality and the amount of ads they show
 
Congratulations to all the Pak fans on another hard fought Series win .. :babar

Magnificent performance all around. Certainly one of the strong favourites for the T20 world cup along with England and India.

You're right. But it's still disappointing.

Then there are a couple of posters who are older but their negativity is suffocating.

Nah. No team is a match for legendary Indian side, not to forget at their home. :smith

I dont think India can be termed favorites in any of the ICC events. Their big guns always choke when it matters in the knockouts

Pretty much. Yes he wasnt able to push at the end but, was decent enough to keep himself on wicket as it wasnt easy for a batsman coming in to get used to the wicket straight away.
 
Excellent performance by Pakistan against Zimbabwe B.

With these types of performances, we'll run over Australia, England, and India comfortably in the world cup.

Never seen this type of quality in a cricket team, absolutely unimaginable.

Agree 100%. Great cricket from two great teams. Anyone who says otherwise is just a troll who hates Pakistan.
 
Pakistan CT are following a pattern here..win the 1st game, proceed to lose the second game and all doom and gloom sets in..then clinch the decider and alls good. This might be the 4th such series in the past year
 
Hasan Ali | MoM: Always happy to perform when the team wins. As long as the body language is good, we do well. The way they played was brilliant, but things were in our control. We knew that one wicket would bring us back into the game because the ball wasn't coming onto the bat well.

Mohammad Rizwan | MoS: The pitch was good early on with the new ball. But after the powerplay, it stayed low. We knew that it would be difficult for the new batsmen coming in and hat is what we tried. We just tried to use our minds and bat through, especially Babar and me. We decided that both of us would hit and the one who survived would bat through.

Babar Azam | Winning skipper: It was a team effort. The openers gave a good start, and the discussion with Rizwan and me was that we needed a big partnership and one of us had to take it deep. The ball was coming onto the bat well and our target was 150-160. They batted well in the first ten overs, they fought back well, but our fast bowlers came back better.

An inconsistent outfit. Surely some introspection is required to improve the overall approach and consistency.

I know you are being sarcastic.In ICC competitions Pakistan will peak at he right time and is capable of beating any team.It has beaten top ranked teams in the past.Pakistan usually makes it to semis which is not bad considering recent lack of talent.Don’t forget this team is relatively new esp bowlers.The performance against Zimbabwe was very poor,don’t know if it was the pitch or players mindset.Asif,Danish,Nawaz should not have played.Hafeez is out of form and contributed nothing.

Zimbabwe were much better than sa c team give them that much

The pitches on SA are good for batting.The ball comes on to bat.The high altitude helps the ball travel fast through the air.Zimbabwe pitch was slow and the ground is very big so it is not easy to score.The par score is around 150.Zimbabwe played well.
 
You know we are in a crisis when fans are celebrating a 2-1 win over Zimbabwe where both wins were scraps.

Zimbabwe, with a bit of smart play in the middle overs, could have easily whitewashed Pakistan.

The fans are a reflection of the players. You bet Misbah and Babar would be patting each other on the backs and praising the team for winning the series.
 
One thing is for sure after this series they will play full tilt test team i so wanted to see abdullah shafiq play in tests
 
Pakistan will be a force in World Cup 2021. In familiar conditions Pakistan is a hard team to beat. I see Pakistan India final unless they meet in prelimanty rounds. Most teams won't be able to beat Pakistan in home like conditions.

2-1 is because of law of average....
Otherwise it would be 3-0 to Pakistan..

I celebrate every victory because each time its like a dagger in the heart of people like yourself.
 
Not a very convincing series victory over Zimbabwe and just managed to beat a depleted South Africa in ODI & T20. There are loads of concerns over Pakistan Bowling and Batting.

The lack of Power Hitters, out of form batsman, and average bowling options.

Questions will continued to be raised, aside from Babar & Rizwan who are pretty much carrying this team.

It will be interesting to see how Pakistan Team Management addresses these core issues or will they overlook it.
