Nice intent but was not needed on first ball. May be an over to get set
Well, he clearly realises this is the role Pakistan want for him considering they rate Babar and Rizwan higher than him and as the anchors

He’s desperate to make an impression and secure his spot

He also knows Snake Rizwan will backstab him and get Iftikhar in for number 5-6
 
Today he played a good innings bouncing off saim
Saim obviously is MOM today assuming klaseen doesn't play a blinder.

However credit where its due. Rizzu has been good in this odi series and is actually playing better then Babar in this odi series.

However now he's out and I sense a collapse coming. A bit irresponsible to not finish the innings.

Now we have 2 new batters who will slow things down

I'm glad to see you giving Rizwan his flowers. I think it's unfair to want him out of the longer formats and people obviously translate their t20 feelings over to ODIs. His game is tailor-made for this format as an anchor and he's done well. The most consistent odi batter since Babar lost his touch after mauling sides on roads at home in 2022
 
Some numbskulls with zero knowledge of the game thought Pak would get whitewashed in ODIs and SA would rack up 400 scores every ODI. One vacuous poster even said Zimbabwe would beat Pak 3-0 lol. K2 humbled them so badly. Must be the most brutal pie in the face moment in sporting history.
 
Level of analysis and banter seems to have gone down considerably on pakpassion forums. I am amazed that in these recent few matches where we have beaten behemoths all I see is vitriol - ball by ball

do better guys. And smoke something if it helps you relax. The world isn’t ending snd rizbar aren’t the horsemen of the apocalypse.

Bro problem was rizwan was rubbish.

Rizwan's purple patch in 2021 t20 was a con. During this time he was avg 33 with a god awful Strike rate in odi, This rubbish form continued for years until last year where he asked for the no 4 spot.

Once he got it he played 2 quality innings vs sa and then proceeded into rubbish for 1.2 years.

Now he's played 2 quality innings once again.

Before today he literally had given me no reason to praise him minus his outlier sri lanka odi innings.
 
I have high hopes from TT but he seems quite a lot like our typical selfish batters despite good potential. I hope he doesn’t turn out like them.
 
Sad to hear. I would go back to a TTF like Imam and wait until he find another batter who is young like Saim. You know what you're getting with Imam.

Fakhar should play the lower order hitter role.
Just have Kamran open. He's opened countless times in List A. He either plays at 3 or opens. Problem solved once fakhar retires.

KG is 100x the batter Abdullah is
 
People keep telling us to respect Rizwan and Babar, but why should we? As soon as they hit their average, they get out. Only players like Saim truly deserve respect.
I'm sure they get themselves out by letting the bowler dismiss them. Rizwan was aying with intent before and after the 50. What you want him to do stop playing attacking shots which always carry risk
 
but why do we need extra batter? Surely we cant rely on Agha as 5th bowler.
We don't. Pakistan need to fix it's 11. Don't listen to some posters high fiving each other >.

Pakistan under sarfaraz was a more settled 11.

1) Fakhar
2) Imam
3) Babar
4) Hafeez
5) Haris sohail
6) Malik
7) Sarfaraz
8) Imad
9) Hasan Ali
10) Shaheen
11) Amir

Is a much better lineup then

1) Saim
2) Abdullah
3) Babar
4) Rizwan
5) Kamran
6) Agha
7) Tayyab/ Niazi
8) Shaheen
9) Naseem
10) Rauf/ Husnain
11) Abrar / Sufiyan

2019 team has a stronger tail and a more balanced combo.

In 2024 besides saim, Babar, Rizwan, Agha and Kamran are all accumulators and tayyab × Niazi aren't anything special either.

Hafeez balanced it out for us

Saim and Fakhar at top are perfect
KG can replicate Haris Sohail
Agha is copy of Malik

we miss an all rounder
