Pakistan (178/4) suffer an embarrassing 7 wicket loss in the 3rd T20I against New Zealand (179/3)

[topspin]

Babar and Rizwan: 60 runs scored off 51 balls at a strike rate of 117

Enough said.

 

[Asad T]

Poor captaincy also to blame!

TBH Babar's captaincy in the field was ok
Batting-wise I thought he could have batted Usman over Riz

We just faltered because of slow batting from Riz-Bar & drop catches

 

[Rana]

Looks like he is about to cry

Don’t get Mahmood angry. He’s not fake aggression apparently

 

[7sins]

Patethic crap captain is back and with so called crap superstars keep playing with 120 strike rate

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Fakhar should decline to play the next game, let Babar and Rizwan get us out of the mess they’ve created

 

[Usman Chadda]

Babar has no clue what to do out there.

No plan whatsoever how to halt the runs or get chapman out.

Still clueless as ever

The pitch is not 178 worthy. SRH might have crossed 280+ on this wicket too.

Our batting needs a lot of work and this misjudgment will continue to cost us games.

Curse to Pakistan cricket.

I don't care if they average 100.

Zindabad Foxy yaar

The confidence

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Did everyone watch it where I said to watch?

Line up and delete Abbas in this over!

 

[Asad T]

Guys i said it at innings break. No reason to believe NZ cant chase this with chapman and neesham in lineup.. we have clowns playing for Pakistan.. blowing hot air all the time.. we need to rethink if we can qualify for super 10s

The funniest was how Bazid and Waqar were so confident of the total during the innings break

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Rawalpindi is a chasing wicket to be fair.

When PAK chased yesterday, they won.

Now NZ winning while chasing
.
Wicket simply gets better in the 2nd dig.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Rawalpindi has always been 220 plus venue.. psl proved it.. if your legends like waqar younis say in commentary box that 185 is a good score.. then imagine state of our cricket and people running it.. apparently even our legendary cricketers cant read the game well and we expect clowns like wahab and azhar mehmood to do better

Almost

 

[topspin]

Goes back to what you were saying. Under 200 against this NZ side is a shocking effort.

 

[7sins]

Abbas better than these so called patethic superstars

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Get 2 hattricks now lads

 

[Rana]

The funniest was how Bazid and Waqar were so confident of the total during the innings break

Bro please get me a gig with PCB

I’ll drive these pundits out of PCB for the sake of Pakistan cricket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Neesham to hit the winning runs?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Abbas the pick of the seamers - gets more bounce than either Naseem or Shaheen.

to be fair, azhar mahmood is quite a good coach.
The others have less capability

@RedwoodOriginal world class anchor innings there by Foxcroft

 

[Barragan]

The pitch is not 178 worthy. SRH might have crossed 280+ on this wicket too.

Our batting needs a lot of work and this misjudgment will continue to cost us games.

Well he was batting out there and he couldn't figure it out that it was 200 pitch or something?

As usual, babar is clueless at everything

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wahab laying there enjoying the viewing on offer

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Foxcroft - mediocre just like Rizwan.

 

[oatmeal]

You cant have both Rizwan and Babar batting at close to 100 . Babar showed the ability to accelerate in the PSL. He needs to up the ante and leave the anchor role to Rizwan

 

[topspin]

Well he was batting out there and he couldn't figure it out that it was 200 pitch or something?

As usual, babar is clueless at everything

BUT BUT

According to @Mamoon - he was the best captain in this year's PSL

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why couldn't pakistan test youngsters instsead.

Rawalpindi is a chasing wicket to be fair.

Now NZ winning while chasing
.
Wicket simply gets better in the 2nd dig.

They huffed and puffed their way to win chasing 90 plus. If NZ had put on 175 there is no telling

 

[JattMaula]

Pitch definitely got little bit quicker in second inning.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

3 off 12 to win

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Watching Foxcroft’ contribution in this @RedwoodOriginal will argue you need an anchor in the top 4

I'd rather say that the say that Asif Ali should be opener and captain

 

[emranabbas]

Pitch definitely got little bit quicker in second inning.

Still no excuse its newzealand c team

 

[Statpadder Inc]

Losing to NZ C team at home is beyond embarrassing, rizbar consumed 50 balls for 59 runs

Yeah. This wicket always gets better while chasing. Near impossible to defend like Dubai under lights.

 

[Rana]

Lol I agree. Probably the right thing to do

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Chapman hits the winning runs

 

[NeVerMind]

You cant have both Rizwan and Babar batting at close to 100 . Babar showed the ability to accelerate in the PSL. He needs to up the ante and leave the anchor role to Rizwan

Even when he is trying, he gets out to the spinners...just isn't a T20 player

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Slower pitch yesterday. No matter what pitch it is, it always gets better with a bit of dew coming in.

 

[Rana]

Babar you natural born loser!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

87 off 42 balls

Chapman is MOTM

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This team is struggling to win against NZ C and they will win World Cup with Babar as captain and opener with Rizwan at 3?

Haha.

 

[Barragan]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1782084839954612340

Its more about the captains position first

At least Rizwan can hit sixes, but Babar struggles to hit pacers for sixes and is hardly good against spin

 

[Deewana Mastana]

With that Chapman has sealed a permanent contract for the next 10 years of PSL.

With this batting, we cannot do well anymore.

We can be beaten single-handedly by a brilliant knock, like we just saw today.

 

[topspin]

Babar you natural born loser!

But I thought he was the best captain in this year's PSL?

 

[Asad T]

chapman played only 7 dot balls, very impressive

 

[jnaveen1980]

Slower pitch yesterday. No matter what pitch it is, it always gets better with a bit of dew coming in.

But them scoring 178 with only 4 down is absolutely poor.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

This team is struggling to win against NZ C and they will win World Cup with Babar as captain and opener with Rizwan at 3?

Haha.

So you're thinking Saim, Haris, Usman are winning the WC instead

 

[Rana]

Don’t really get this Chapman guy.

He has no issues touring Pakistan
He plays beautifully here
He can’t get an IPL contract

Why doesn’t he simply secure a platinum PSL contract? He will get that every season for the next 10 years

 

[Deewana Mastana]

chapman played only 7 dot balls, very impressive

He would've played 0 if he had it his way

 

[Nikhil_cric]

With that Chapman has sealed a permanent contract for the next 10 years of PSL.

Im surprised he wasn't selected for PSL 9.

He would destroy it in a league where he can face Pakistani bowlers every day.

 

[Rana]

But I thought he was the best captain in this year's PSL?

It’s because he played a ramp shot against Hunain Shah

 

[Dr_Bassim]

So you're thinking Saim, Haris, Usman are winning the WC instead

They might lose trying to win it.

With Babar and Rizwan you know they will play for their averages and lose it.

Refer to post #204

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Lol I agree. Probably the right thing to do

I wouldn't be too sad if I were you tho. Hopefully Asif Ali will become the captain and opener of his Ramazan cricket team.

 

[MenInG]

 

[7sins]

Disgusting performance but don't worry we have the king

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Im not surprised at all.. yesterday we struggled to chase 90 in 10 overs.. Teams like SRH will gobble up that score in 6 overs.. i believe all ipl teams will beat Pakistan national team 8 out of 10 times.. forget winning against Indian National team

 

[Rana]

I wouldn't be too sad if I were you tho. Hopefully Asif Ali will become the captain and opener of his Ramazan cricket team.

The Asif Ali comeback is better used by guys with a low IQ

You can do better than that mate

 

[mominsaigol]

Babar and rizwan 60 of 51.

Chapman 87 of 42.

@RedwoodOriginal @daytrader

"WE need anchorers, Playing at 140+ SR is overrated"

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Im surprised he wasn't selected for PSL 9.

He would destroy it in a league where he can face Pakistani bowlers every day.

He would've been the first overseas to smash 1k runs in a season.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

No actually people with low cricketing IQ think Asif Ali should be captain and opener of the Pakistan national cricket team.

 

[topspin]

Babar also played in last year's Ramadhan Cup after being left unsold for The Hundred.

 

[Champ_Pal]

That was some proper hiding from this unknown kiwi team.

 

[mominsaigol]

No actually people with low cricketing IQ think Asif Ali should be captain and opener of the Pakistan national cricket team.

I don't get why you even did bharanga over babar and rizwan lol, Chapman kinda soloed, of anything his ANCHORER at the other end was a thorn

 

[Rana]

No actually people with low cricketing IQ think Asif Ali should be captain and opener of the Pakistan national cricket team.

In case you haven’t realised it. I made the thread out of mockery of Babar’s selfishness. Then again, I could care less. I get proven right every day as long as this guy is our captain

 

[Rana]

I don't get why you even did bharanga over babar and rizwan lol, Chapman kinda soloed, of anything his ANCHORER at the other end was a thorn

Tbh bro, that was an important knock by Foxcroft…but the guy wasn’t trying to anchor…he just couldn’t read spin early on and couldn’t get any timing

When he did…he was playing pretty well

 

[Suleiman]

Babar and Rizwan: 60 runs scored off 51 balls at a strike rate of 117

Enough said.

But but they were ranked #1 and #2 in ICC rankings!!!!

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

In IPL openers are striking it at 400 and here you have Rizwan and Babar

 

[mominsaigol]

Tbh bro, that was an important knock by Foxcroft…but the guy wasn’t trying to anchor…he just couldn’t read spin early on and couldn’t get any timing

Not really, they could have ended the game earlier if someone like rachin was around.

The thing is, Foxcroft is a c string player, Babar and rizwan are considered the roman reigns and cody rhodes of our team, So you'd expect the no 1 batsmen and no 3 batsmen to do better.

 

[aukhan]

Why was Amir rested and not Shaheen, Rizwan or best friend Shadab?

Babar the failed captain is back with his revolutionary strategies.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Babar will break Brian Masaba's record against Ireland.

Agreed bro. This series is pointless. I’m looking at the selection of NZ and their potential more than our own.

Tim Robinson looks a serious player of pace

 

[kingusama92]

They’re only going to win games bowling first with this squad.

Not enough talent to be setting scores and they will always be well short.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Imagine if , going by some posters, PAK dropped Saim and made Rizwan open and Rizwan didn't get cramps .

This would have been a brutal thrashing by NZ 'C'.

Gotta back gun young batsmen like Saim , PAK fans. Cant pick on every failure of his when you know his upside is huge and he is pretty much your "generational" batting talent.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

NZ will not win t20 wc.. neither qualify for semi this time.. they have bottled too many chances to win the tournaments with their best players in history.. this time its going to be either India or surprisingly WI that wins it.. WI will put up a decent team with all their mercenaries coming back for the tourney

 

[7sins]

Crap captain crap team full of superstars
