What's new

Pakistan (224) end their ICC World Cup 2023 campaign and fail to qualify for the Semi-Finals with a 93-run loss to England (337/9)

Babar's very defensive. New captain(hopefully not Rizwan) must push him to play a more attacking brand
 
To be honest Tayyab doesn't look pleasing at all. Not sure if top teams would allow him to score freely.
That's not fair to him honestly. He was one of the top performers in domestic at no. 4/5. He played a match winning 100 vs India in the Emerging Asia Cup.

Was in the squad with the team but was dropped without even playing an ODI.

He deserves as much of an opportunity as all those who are playing for Pakistan right now in this format.

He played against Afg, couldn't impress at all. But yeah should be given chance may be he comes out to be a a good replacement for Ifti. But don't have high hopes at all.
 
Babar's underwhelming world cup had come to an end. Nothing illustrates better than the strike rate

Average strike rate in this world ucp 91.82
Babar's strike rate in this world cup 82.90

Even within Pakistan team his SR is very low

Kohli's World Cup will also end against New Zealand on Wednesday

He will score in single digits again just like the 2015 and 2019 World Cup semifinals

Lower than Imam! :facepalm
 
Kohli underperforming will somehow help Babar? It just helps your ego nothing else.
Kohli will smash century in Wankhade, if not 100 at least 50.

But I am more interested to see how Rohit plays in KO. He has been ruthless throughout the tournament. Best batter for India in this WC.
 
It is Babar's defensive mindset that is not allowing him to excel in mega events now.
Hopefully he'll do better when there's no captaincy pressure
 
I have found this stat

Most balls faced against Pacers without hitting Six in 2023WC

156 - Colin Ackermann
146 - Marnus Labuschagne
122 - Imam ul Haq
122 - Vikramjit Singh
117 - Babar Azam
98 - Mehidy hasan
92 - Saud Shakeel
Everyone has this stage in career, all greats have been through this. He will overcome this, he is Pakistan's best bat.

90 strike rate in ODIs is defensive mindset

Very good. Were you a big Shahid Afridi fan? Was he the Pakistani Viv Richards?
 
Yeah right.
ICC mai sab pagal hain

Only you know the true story
Going by rankings we have no 1 odi side
with no 1 odi batter
with no 1 odi bowler
so by that logic we should be sitting on top of the table.

believing in the icc rankings is absurd

It is under pressure that I am questioning his mindset. Not when he's playing meaningless bilaterals against lesser sides.
Look how someone like Warner has lifted his game in this tournament. He was not expected to do well here but the guy loves the big stage.
A better reflection is Babar's 82SR in this world cup when all the other top batters have scored at a much higher rate.
 
And the embrassment of the year
Less of an embarrassment then 1999 final, 2003, 2007 and 2015 World Cups

Now Wasim Akram, Razzaq, Yousaf, Misbah who were the reason for those pathetic performances criticize Babar 24/7

Sirf Babar hi bura hai

Atleast when this team loses, no one says Match Fixing. Like it used to happen before Babar came along
 
They're just looking to scratch out a win, not even a convincing one. Babar must have been relieved when he lost the toss

1999, 2003, 2007 I was too young, so I can't comment on those. I wasn't even born in 1999 lol.

As for 2015, I saw the cup, it was worse then this one I agree. Doesn't change anything.

I'm not saying our previous wc campaigns were goated, I'm saying that you're claiming babar is icc player or whatever of the year,

Well here's your player of the year for you. Truly a GOAT.

Don't switch topics. The comment was made towards babar, a claim you made praising him, I'm brining you down the earth that's all.

Sadly cricket is played by 11 players. Not 1 or 2

Not having a genuine spinner in the squad was our undoing. The Chief Selector and Mickey Arthur should be sacked immediately for not picking a genuine spinner

We did not lose the World Cup because of Babar's batting like many posters are suggesting
 
Babar and Rizwan just playing for their averages.

Expect the usual 53 (77) type innings.
 
Only a dream WK can play this type of innings . Best innings by Pakistani WK
 
Pakistan has been defensive in batting since independence. It has nothing do with Babar.
If you started watching cricket from musbsh days then it would seem like that but pre misbah batsmens were playing at a reasonable strike rate and that's what most of us here want a pre misbah era but some are happy with babars and rizwans

We keep blaming performing players for the non-performing ones. Like somehow when players perform it makes the others not perform. It's crazy. Everyone knows our best players aren't perfect. Yet surely logic would dictate that you try to replace or improve the players worse than them first. Yet some people think the way to go is to drop the best players instead.
 
Like Babar Like Rizwan. One gets a soft end while the other gets a comedy end. Befitting.

Pakistan have embarrassed themselves thoroughly inside India. There's no looking back.
 
Enough of Babar and Rizwan bashing. Value them till you lose them

Still remember the period when our players used to purposely throw matches to remove captain, fix matches for money. The pathetic state we were in under Misbah and then Azhar. 9th in ODI ranking
 
I can only laugh at people calling Rizwan best batsmen time and time again . Has no idea how to play quality spin . Falls again and again to pace .

That team pace head was sohail tanvir and savior Umar akmal

This team was much better
 
Comical dismissal.

This is reminisce of the old Pakistan batting. Play lots of dots, when the pressure gets to you. Play a nothing attacking shot and get out. Onto the next batter
