That's a great point but there are some shot makers on that team. I feel like if Babar had the current squad playing in SA right now, we wouldn't be seeing what we see right now. A captain's personality translates to the team and Babar was wayyyy too dull just like Misbah. Khair anyway, even the difference in squad levels was due to Babar's incompetence as a captain selector, just consistently selecting the same duds for years

Who on the team was a shot maker? Once fakhar came back into the side to replace Imam, Pakistan was a such a transformed side vs NZ and Bangladesh. Otherwise we would have 100% lost those games as well lol.

Imam doesn't possess a single boundary scoring shot, tht 151 was England was an outlier innings. Same with Abdullah who's rubbish but has a 111 outlier innings vs sri lanka.

Saud shakeel is good but he's another accumulator, and attacking ain't his fortei, infact he's our best test batter but also our slowest test batter.

Chacha is lol and shadab and Nawaz are memes.
 
such poor batting from Hasnain, we have 4 overs with 2 wickets in hand and he tries to smack Jensen
Should have just aimed to get a run a ball till the last over and then smack
poor game awareness as always
 
Same thing with Sufiyan, tries to smack the ball first ball with 3 overs left
just get singles now

Their already > par? You have to just slog now lol.
 
There is more than enough in the surface to pick up wickets but very hard to defend here especially 6 an over. Pak should look to bowl them out.

Those are outlier innings but the fact that they have shots but chose to play reserved. You saw it in the way they'd go about opening the innings. They didn't GO for shots is what I mean. They have it in the books but Imam would leave 6 out of 6 balls to the keeper and Abdullah would drive straight to the fielders. I'm not saying they're Rohits or Warners, far from it lol, but my point is they didn't even GO for runs. But I can't deny that overall it was a crappy team. Good reminder

Best thing to do is go big at top with our attacking options. We are not getting Pandya at 7 anytime soon

If you bring Imam back into the squad he isn't going to be a David Warner under rizwan. He'll be the same rubbish in the same way Abdullah is the same rubbish under rizwan.

Kamran ghulam, Saim ayub, fakhar have been smacking it in List A and FC for a long long time. Their issue was that under babar saim wasn't able to replicate his domestic form in internationals.

Imam on the other hand was always a slow tuk tuk batter in domestics. It's only recently where he's started to play t20 and trying to play more aggressive cause he's desperate to get back into the team, back in 2019 he was always tuk tuk in domestics.

The only exception is chacha who's a certified domestic bully but chacha had been with the team since 2019 and had been rubbish minus Nepal.

Babar and by extension misbah should have had the gall tondrop him by 2021 after 2 years of rubbish.
 
Warning to fellow Indian fans. Stay away from PP during CT as PAK are favourites to win. Going to be a nightmare for us.

Get all your digs at Pakistan in during the upcoming Test series where, hopefully, they get flattened as usual :srini
 
Pakistan will have to bowl well to defend this, wicket is good for batting, Pakistan wasted the platform they had with needless dismissals with 12-15 overs to go
 
Salman deserved a half century but more importantly hopefully Pakistan go on to win this game and whitewash Proteas in South Africa
 
Let's hope Pakistan will not give Klassan 9 lives again as this did in the 2nd ODi. If I remember correctly he was dropped in first ODI too.
 
I don’t know how many shots Rizwan played on the off side today but an ok knock, preposterous batting from Babar however. With that being said, imagine giving these two a nickname ‘K2’ like you would a partner, it reinforces my earlier comments on their fan club. Pak still got their work cut out for them.

Tayyab Tahir is a spin basher. At number 7 he probably wont get that chance. The bat keeps twisting in his hand against pacers.

The likes of him, along with hasnain, Usman and abdullah needs to go. Tayyab is an awful bat, he seems to have graduated from the same school as Usman Khan. Both can't play pacers and are ugly to watch on top.

rubbish in T20s but fairly decent in ODIs whatever he played. He came in too late in team anyway

the issue with ifti, was that he is a powerhouse in domestic, but useless on the international level
he is also liek 40+, so no point in investing him him
might as well invest in the future of the game

Babar team won here last time in 2021 against a better SA team than this .
Also, we put too much weight on subjective things like these!
Pakistan is going more for specialists now which is good.
Danish Aziz, Asif Ali, Shadab Khan, and Faheem Ashraf were no5-no8 in 2021 ODI series. No offense against these players, but none of them were prolific middle order batters compared to the current line up.
 
they were without their main players in the 3rd odi because they had left for ipl

Shaheen needs to stop bowling this half volley that got Rohit sharma once upon a time. He isnt as quick anymore. The bowl is shaping nicely for him off a length.
 
South African seamers just didn't hit that 5-8 m lengths often enough in the first 20 overs and let Pakistan off the hook.
 
Aqib ball?
