What's new

Pakistan [169/6] defeat South Africa [164/8] by 4 wickets in the 3rd T20I to take series 2-1

And that is a wrap for Talat in international cricket.

A forever alone type figure. No hype, no fan club, no backers in media, nothing.

When you play players in their wrong format, you're doing a great disservice to them and the team! We tend to do this more often than not . . and across formats . .

Talat is not a T20 player! You can tell he is confused . . his role isn't defined . . and we're asking him to do something he can't . .

Like many others, he came back into the squad in NZ due to his great performance in QeA . . THen we obviously picked him in the T20 squad . .

Give the same team, talent, domestic structure . . whatever you want . . to a NZ, Eng, Aus . . I can swear the same team will do A LOT better than they do . . why?! Because we have got no brains!

Have always said . . you can't control talent. . but you can control the decisions you make . . we make poor decisions, period!
 
Sipamla is a poor man’s Ngidi who is a poor man’s Rabada.

I hope he plays Odis. Seems much more suited to that format.
 
Have you seen his innings in South Africa in 2018? Where he choked and lost us a game we should have won?

Take someone special to lose a game like that one. Which is why he sits atop all the others

Yeah I recall that, it was infuriating
 
Stop with Babar Azam judging and analyzing. Let him play. He's the best batsman to play for Pakistan.
 
That shot from hussain with his eyes pointing towards sky wasnt worthy of an international player
 
Basically all Babar from here on out. If Asif Ali miraciously manages to play a half way effective innings then there is some hope with Faheem still to come.
 
In fairness to Talat he hasn't gotten a proper opportunity in the format that he is most suited for, ODIs.
 
What a dull uninspiring team pak has become the scary thing is this is the best they have to offer! Unless you want Malik to comeback.
 
Shamsi no being bowled off here. Interesting, Pak need to utilize this period
 
Babar bottled it in the t20 in joburg. Bottled it against Zim in the ODI. He will bottle it again.
 
Asif Ali should look to attack. 1 big over would put is in control. He's not that type to hang around anyway.
 
At this point Babar is just happy to put bat on ball against SLAs.
 
In fairness to Talat he hasn't gotten a proper opportunity in the format that he is most suited for, ODIs.

He averages 38 in List A. On what grounds should he get a chance over all the guys who average 40+ are probably not mentally weak and still struggle to make the playing eleven?

Considering first 2 scoring shots from Asif have been outside edges, I don't think thats likely.
 
Sipamla and Pretorious have no business bowling to Babar Azam
 
2-3 usual sixes of Asif on his best days would be useful here
 
FOUR

Babar smacks that , Pakistan is motoring along , I do not know why pakistan fans worried , this game is in Pakistan bag now. sealed :))
 
Someone actually made a thread saying Babar Azam is the batting bench mark of this generation LOL.
 
Well. I suppose we can say we won the tests which is real cricket instead of this silly cricket that no one even cares about
 
I agree he was ordinary in that match and rightfully dropped but, what do we have in store for T20s middle order? Nothing much unfortunately. That is why almost same players find their way back again.

I mean no arguments there. Only hope is that PSL somehow unearths some talent. But then again, Talat and Asif Ali got notoriety because of PSL too and we have seen how well they have done so its like you can't even trust guys who do well in PSL now. All in all, a very sad state of affairs.
 
Oh dear as i said shabzi will destroy us...still has an over left i think game is over no batters left
 
Wish one of these newbies who are trying to establish themselves could step up for a change. Great opportunity for Asif Ali to claim a spot.
 
All will be well when Baba bottler Azam plays his pretty 60 (40) in the circus league coming up.
