But your example is wrong, simple as that.

Misbah's hate or not hate on that game has nothing to do with not hitting a six on the final ball. And no one gets hate for not hitting a six on the final ball.

It's the players (including the one batting at the end) who didn't do anything in the 10+ balls they had before, that get criticised.

Yes very good, now please tell @Major This. I've been trying to explain this very fact on how it was chacha's fault and not imad. I'll critise imad's bowling, happy too. But batting wise it's chacha written on the wall

The wrong point is about the Misbah England game. If I remember correctly and we are talking about the same game, Misbah came in when the require RR was very low and we were a couple of wickets down and ahead of the rate. He proceeded to tuk tuk to such a level that he took the equation to 6 off the last ball and then flopped.

No one ever gets criticised for not getting 6 off the last ball, of course not.

I remember that game. It was series decider and we should have won .. Misbah bottled it by scoring 28 off 32 in t20 chasing 130😂😂😂 Misbah is hugely responsible for tuk tuk culture thats haunts Pakistan cricket even til now

Let's not forget mohali when misabah bottled it big time.

And that scoop in 2007 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still find that funny
 
Just seen Pakistan's squad and yet again no Abrar.

Unless he's injured it doesn't make sense of his exclusion from this side tonight.

Playing 2 leggies yet again out of which one doesn't bowl who's played nearly 300 games.

Babar Azam's whole thought process is corroded to the core.
He has very low IQ. It boils my blood to see him captaining national team again.

Not sure about low IQ but he's not very smart. Specially when it comes to strategies and more importantly tactics. Plus he is conservative in his thinking so that doesn't help his captaincy or his batting.
 
Babar Azam: We wanted to bat first and put runs on the board. The pitch looks good so we are looking to post 180-190 which is a par score here. Middle overs are very crucial and we discussed about that. We made only one change; Zaman is not playing, Shaheen is back. We tried different combination in every game, sometimes we started with spinners, sometimes with fast bowlers, and wanted to see where we stand.

They probably want to see Usama Mir as Abrar is locked as one of the spinners for WT20.
 
The day Babar opens his runs account with a six in the match will be the day the world ends.

He's not played more than 2 T20i's yet and hasn't got many games left for the T20 WC either.

He shouldn't be resting while others who've played for years keep playing on.
 
These were my opinions as I said before the series began than Usman and Abrar need to be played in all the matches this series especially leading up to the WC in just over a month's time.
 
2 deliveries Babar should have dispatched. He has zero power and he can't loft over the field. We cannot carry such an unimpactful over when teams are looking at scoring 80-100 in the power play.
 
So that's 16 games now? Good god we about to see babar and rizwan open again 💀
 
Saim now everybody shud just stay quiet...9h sorry they want sharjeel back i better stay quiet..m
 
The bottomline remains the same. The so-called big hitters in Pakistan cannot give you more than 10 runs on average.

Yep. That's what I was thinking and I made a post a few days ago about this very reason. What will you do if your young guns like Saim, Azam, Usman, etc fail to perform leading upto the WT20?
 
NZ will win this match with ease. Saim, Usman are not international material
 
The bottom line is this.

If Saim has failed it doesn't mean we go back to flop Rizbar combo.

We keep experimenting with other players till someone fires.
 
saim what have you just done :facepalm:

needs to be rested but that doesn't mean rizwan comes back in
 
Mohammad Harris is the only real natural aggressor who fears no one when batting. That is the kind of player you stick with the longest at one spot like opening. But he was discarded after Afghanistan series after playing on those dead turning UAE tracks.
 
If Babar wins this match for Pak then his critics must stop questioning his place.

What business does Usama mir has in playing eleven with Shadab khan already there? Unbelievable

That is how Pakistan team is for years together... Do we know why Ifthi Chacha got so many games , he got one century against NEPAL , thats it.. Pakistan selects players for their performances in PSL , but that is not international class league..
 
Saim is another overrated minnow and low quality attack basher.He will always be badly exposed against any kind of quality. (y) :ROFLMAO: :LOL: ;)
