Rehnay dey yaar. 4 or 5 has not much to say tonight, he had plenty of time to build his innings. I am not asking for his omission, just want him to make a big one for the team. We call him the best player of spin but he often get’s out to spin.
Match winner hai Ifti? I’d love to be reminded of games he won
Time will come, tag me when he plays at 3 under new and dynamic captain Sarfaraz.
Yeah I 2019 we won wc
This is a good pitch. Pakistani bowlers bowled badly. This is no way 340 wicket. 270-280 would have been chaseable here
Lol. Right now I am watching Leeds v Plymouth. We are IA coming back to PL again.
But people here are saying Abdullah, Rizwan, Salman, Iftikhar are to be sacked first
I agree with you. Misbah has a very timid approach. It Was a nightmare when he was the ODI captain
Rizwan is a certain type of player. He can't be expected to play a power hitter as that's not his game at all.
He has played good important knocks even though he isn’t a number 6 player he has done well and plays for team not for his stats . His hitting power is immense . If he is being removed then you need to look masters of stat paddings first and captains friends
Misbah didn't have a low cricketing iq. He's ironically the smartest player we've ever had in the past decade or so.
Pathetic performance today. Shows that PCT would have lost anyway. NZ result was irrelevant.
Sarfraz was our best LOI captain for a long time. He was a good player too. It's his own fault why he isn't part of the team and leading the side today. Not Babar's. It isn't Babar's fault Sarfraz lost batting and wicketkeeping form and got fat. It is great Sarfraz has now discovered form and fitness to some degree, but he did it too late, only when he got kicked out from the team. If he had done it when he was captain, he'd still be captain today.
He may be selfless but he’s not a match winner. I’ve hardly ever seen him hit those big sixes against good sides. And mind u there’s lot more to batting than a few mid wicket slogs
If I was chairman PCB, I would have called Ajmal and Hafeez and asked them to bowl in nets with chucking over 50 degree.
To think that even in those days Viv & Zaheer had stats like 47/91 & 48/89 - I have seen them in their fading age…. And I’ll never be able to convince younger posters what they were like.
And 2019
Misbah is Cancer to Pakistan cricket! He keeps coming back to Pcb, so he can clear his son’s way to international cricket! Another parchi is being created by Misbah
I don’t mind him being removed but the root cause will stay there unless those don’t get axe it won’t be fixed . But Ifti will be just made a scapegoat cause it’s easy
Nope
Brother I'm aware. As I said, misbah 100% knows what he's doing
There is no batter with the strike rate of 90+ and average of 35+ in the history of cricket pre 1998 except the great viv Richards and your expecting someone from Pakistan team
I said after 2008, read that again.
2019 was okayish . Team didn’t look dead . Their was fight atleast
In my opinion misbah is the worst that ever happened to Pakistan cricket. He just haunts Pakistan cricket in every way.
I would say even 2015 . Atleast we beat Africa there
Problems which costed Pak WC SF spot:
Just stop with ifthi! Supporters of ifthi like you are the problem! Take him to Nepal and become a Nepal cricket fan! That’s the only place he will perform
Lol they have been awful for so long now. Pacers used to do well but now they have gotten bad as well.
At Eden it is very hard to chase. SA were bundled out for 80 in replay to India’s 328 not too long ago. Ball spun a lot more in secon innings like this game
Well said bro! These Misbah fans are clueless! Give them guli Dandaa
Neither will be Rizwan . But to our surprise he might become captain . Cause he is favourite of some . That’s how things work . Easy to axe will go
After 2008 misbah happened like I said in my initial post and everyone has been following misbah though of school since then
His average would be the same average that it is against India, 28.
Rizwan is going enough to play till the next wc.
Only proper spinner is watching from the sidelines in the reserves. You don't get effective middle over results here with bits and pieces players.
His tactics were fine. He was gun at field settings and chasing lower totals. He was excellent in that regard.
Babar and Rizwan will even mess up Nepal XI
Won’t help bro - you didn’t notice the real problem. Ajmal, MoHa were not traditional spinners - even if they can reproduce their best in nets, it won’t help developing the spin play - Riz will still keep sweeping successfully while Babar will keep knocking around singles taking spinners as medium pacers.
Yeah very decent we saw that today
