Under pressure Pakistanis lose nerve. Babar is more likely to build a partnership than Talats or Hasan Nawaz. Yes Pakistan need hard hitters but also correct players like Babar.

Really? What has Babar done lately which provides such assurance? Babar, who is technically the best Pak batsman without a doubt, should be the lynchpin in T20s for pak middle order, has proven to be so bad lately that you had to resort to comparing him with Talat - that should be a matter of concern.
 
Everyone knows Fakhar can smash these Zimbabwe bowlers.

These games should be exactly used like today where you promote lkkes of Faheem and Nawaz to see if they can deliver or not.

He has been poor past two years but does not mean he cannot get back in good form. He just scored a century in ODI recently and now 74 in T20, amongst some knocks where he looked good but got out in 30s or 40s.

Not true Power Play does not always produce 50 or 60 scores, yet team end up scoring 180s.

Bookmark your words to throw at me, and shame me, once Babar does well in WC. How about that?
 
Fakhar has to open with farhan

It was a good cameo but he is dangerous as an opener with the power , totally capable of taking the game away in the powerplay.

Did I say he will or will not, I am saying he is still a need for Pakistan amongst good hitters to anchor inning. And his earlier record shows he can build partnerships to stop Pakistani collapses
 
Fakhar is the only Pakistani batsman that looks like a world-class batsman. Bashes minnows like minnows and has the temperament to deliver in big matches against big teams. Doesn't cry about which position he is comfortable in, and no fake PR pushing him either. Just goes out and does the job for his team

So why not call back Wasim Akram, and more realistically Mohammad Amir, who actually won you TWO tournaments, and still playing.

Babar azam fans should be investigated, where the hell did they suddenly start appearing in the last few months in stadiums in this loud manner? Where did all Ghantay ka king chants go?
Paid fans

Babar Azam fans are like these Japanese fans
 
Babar Azam fans celebrating his 72 as his second coming now.
Tell me, does anyone see any improvement on the issue that he was dropped for i.e slow strike rate and spin challenges?
He keeps wasting the power play. İf somehow, he plays, 25+ balls he might be able to get his strike rate to around 120

I bought up past history of current player, who is also showing signs of return to form and contributing. Babar is not Kohli level player but if they did not allow Kohli to return to form after 2 year slump then Kohli would not had returned some good performances he did. Similarly Babar was most profilic batter for Pakistan and deserves to be shown some faith.

He was 30 off 33

Not giving the strike or enough strike at all to Farhan.

He then ended up 50 off 42

He only looked comfortable against Raza lol

Actually that was a misstep as well. Kohli refused to play domestic and they kept him going in internationals. Should have been forced to play domestic and get back when he was in form instead of using the national team.
Same is the case with King Babar

Not true they were consistently taking singles, what match were you watching, and were your eyes open or just blinded with RizBar hate.

Singles??? Read the posts here during his innings up until the 12th/13th over mark


Every single poster was demanding for his retirement

People are done with this $hit!

That is because like you they are fans of Yahoobatying, without sensible partnerahip Yahoo batting does not help. And you said he was not giving Farhan batting, yet he was constantly rotating strike
 
My guess is that Sikander knows the inevitable. He is thinking about high NRR forgetting about the win.

İt's not a world cup match against top tier team like England or so that their strategy is to be admired for.
Yes, they rotated strike good and that's a marked improved for these two but a match against Zimbabwe, you should be looking to dominate or try new things.
Happy for Farhan, he improved this aspect of his game as needed.
Bobsy only knows how to tuk tuk, he should be trying to dominate against them to improve his shoddy t20 game.

Junior senior sb ka aik hi masla hai, the moment there's some pressure on them mentally they break. None of them are pure diamonds, sheeshay k bantay hain sb, dikhnay main they may fool the eye that they are attractive

Babar and Agha are blocking the youngsters. Bilaterals in this format should be used to give exposure to youngsters.

Babar is not some Chris Gayle who is indispensable. In fact, he's far from it.
 
Usman Tariq strikes 3 wickets in 3 balls in the, marking Pakistan’s 4th T20I hattrick.

He bowled a sensational triple-wicket maiden.

I do not support Babar in T20 but watch the rising stars tournament final to see that the next in line are equally inept & bereft of any temperament to play under pressure.
 
Pakistans obsession with phast bowlers will cost them in world cup. They should go with two spinners + Nawaz in world cup
 
Burl the kind of player Sultans will sign so Rizwan can open without question

Now Pakistan fans will say that Fakhar should bat at 7 because we don't have a better finisher :sarf2

Just to accommodate Babar at opening or one down these emotional fans can do anything. Today's inning played by Babar will be catastrophic for Pakistan cricket in next few tournaments. On final scoreboard it looks okay but if someone does in depth analysis from ball one it was another selfish inning

His legacy is sealed is an ATG Batter.

Even if he fails for the rest of his career. It wouldn't matter because he has performed for Pakistan in big stages. Where 99% of our players fail.

He is an anomaly out of our Cricket system.

Bro even if it was a good and impactful innings, who cares? It's Zimbabwe. Since when did bashing minnows make anyone a great player?
 
Playing weak opposition helps give temporary confidence which will get brutally exposed the moment you face the big sides like India, Australia, England, New Zealand and then we will witness the same rona dhona again
 
All I am interested is the final of this tri series where Babar will inevitably make the walk back to hut for a limited score and someone else will win the game for Pakistan.

And fans will still say he was a crucial cog in the team.
