Pakistan v New Zealand | 1st T20I | Rawalpindi | April 18 | Pre-Match Discussion

[mominsaigol]

True, Captain Azam and his friend will bat at their preferred positions. They've earned this right through performances. Clowns in PCB are replaced every month but none have have been able to touch the duo so far. And haters too have tried everything but failed.
Babar and Rizwan zindabad

Im gonna try to take you seriously, so you admit PCB is run by clowns who get replaced every month correct?

So you acknowledge that clowns are the ones who made the clown decision to appoint babar and rizwan as opening in t20?

Man you babar cults embrass yourself 24/7.

Man you babar cults embrass yourself 24/7.

It's up to you acknowledge that in the volatile world of Pakistan cricket, Babar and Rizwan have stood firm and performed brilliantly.
They've held the team together and kept us afloat .
But I guess it's difficult for anti-Rizbab cult to understand because they are fans of jokers like azam Asif sharjeels. It's either because of hate or zero understanding of the game

 

[Rana]

for anti-Rizbab cult

There was a poll here recently, Rizwan and Babar opening combination was not voted as the fan’s preferred opening combination. They had 2 or 3 votes which included yours.

I believe you are the cult, not those who oppose them

I'm not a fan of either of those 3 players. Don't know why you're lumping me in with a clique

Can you share the link? because I just don't remember the context and the date

Go and find it.

Seek and ye shall find. Or choose to neglect it. Continue living in denial.

 

[PakEngFan]

Idk about others, but I've openly claimed I'm an Australian fan and do not support the current Pakistan team, I more or less just make fun of em since I refuse to support a non gelled team. I will support the team once we go back to our 1996, 2011, 1992, and 2017 ways. Even if we go back to our 2009 ways idk if I wanna support cause YK wasn't exactly a good role model, good captain but eh.

Also the chances of rizwan succeeding are higher considering usman khan won't be opening, Stat pad time incoming.

Knowing Pakistan they'll make usman bat at no 5 lol.

You waste too much time on the team you don't support. The chances of rizwan are much higher because he's played at higher level than Psl

Basically your not a supporter your a glory hunter.

Pakistan don't need "supporters" like that.

Real supporters are there for all occasions.

 

[mominsaigol]

Real supporters are there for all occasions.

So me supporting a 2011 team that didn't win makes me a glory hunter?

Sorry but I don't support mediocrity. I support Australia fully, they win cups every season.

Reach their level first before talking about blind support.

I'm free to comment on any discussion lol.

 

[PakEngFan]

I'm free to comment on any discussion lol.

Yeah Mr Australian fan specially on Pakistanis players who you don't support. Makes sense.

 

[Rana]

What is your Pakistan XI for the World Cup. The team and batting order you rate?

 

[PakEngFan]

What is your Pakistan XI for the World Cup. The team and batting order you rate?

If i was to select it today it will be
Babar
Saim
Fakhar
Usman
Rizwan
Iftikhar
Shadab
Imad
Amir
Naseem
Shaheen

 

[PakEngFan]

I'm pakistani by origin who comments on a forumn dedicated to Pakistan cricket.

Australian fans don't comment much cause we have a United team and mostly agree in everything, that's what happens when you win every season or win every next season lol.

Now I'm still of pakistani origin, Are you? Cause our national language ain't your mother tongue.

So a Pakistani means you have to speak Urdu. It's the only language in Pakistan. Mother tongue means Urdu for every Pakistani. The idiotic posts of your never fails to amaze me.

 

[Rana]

If i was to select it today it will be

Not the worst side tbf

I would swap Fakhar with Babar. All good to go. Probably get Azam in for Rizwan.

Azam Khan should be sitting at home and watching the WC with a bucket of KFC.

I would play a specialist spinner. Abrar instead of Shadab.

Probably on the WI pitches it will be better to drop a fast bowler. Plus we have over from Saim a d iftikhar too and I want to strengthen the batting line up with shadab being a good hitter of spin.

Probably one of the few times you've chosen something sensible based of what we have.

 

[mominsaigol]

So a Pakistani means you have to speak Urdu. It's the only language in Pakistan. Mother tongue means Urdu for every Pakistani. The idiotic posts of your never fails to amaze me.

And a pakistani means you have to support Pakistan and can't support other teams? The idiotic posts of yours never fails ti amaze me.

 

[PakEngFan]

Probably one of the few times you've chosen something sensible based of what we have.

I have said I am not deluded and I know what is the best team for us.

 

[Rana]

Azam Khan should be sitting at home and watching the WC with a bucket of KFC.

Come off if mate. He will be in the squad. All the CPL boys will be.

 

[PakEngFan]

Come off if mate. He will be in the squad. All the CPL boys will be.

He will get his chances against NZ and England and I don't think he will perform.

 

[mominsaigol]

I have said I am not deluded and I know what is the best team for us.

I never called you deluded nor do i consider you deluded.

Your a fan with opposite views lol. Views that I disagree with mostly so it's surprising when you make decisions that align with me.

 

[Rana]

He literally agrees with our cricketing views but is always fighting us

 

[mominsaigol]

He literally agrees with our cricketing views but is always fighting us

Because in comments he makes it seem as if he's advocating rizwan to open 24/7 and he's gone into detail on not wanting fakhar in the top order but here it's the opposite?

He also made it clear he doesn't rate usman implying he doesn't want usman yet usman is a feature in his line up?

He’s an innocent guy. Still finding himself. I don’t think he intends wrong, that’s why I don’t mind him too much.

I don't. Don't agree with most at least.

Reach their level first before talking about blind support.

That's the definition of a glory hunter to a tee.

For Example A Man U supporter of the 90s wouldn't switch to City today just because they win something every season and Man u are mediocre.

There is such a thing as loyalty.

Especially when a country is involved.

I reckon if there was a poll on here with indian fans for example on how many switched allegiance to support another team during their mediocre era of the 90s compared to recent times I reckon most of them would of still supported india regardless.

Opening with fakhar is what I disagree with. I have a lot of time for fakhar.

 

[Rana]

I never said you did.

Do you tend to argue with yourself looking into a mirror?

Training in full swing for Shaheens and Black Caps

 

[Cricket Warrior]

In an interview with a sports channel, Hafeez criticized Pakistan's team selection for the New Zealand T20I series, He said:

"I believe that New Zealand has come to play a kind of forced tour here. Around 11 to 12 of their main players are not available, either because they are playing county cricket or they are busy in the IPL. I think they have sent a very weak team, and when New Zealand sent their team last time for the ODI series, they also sent a B team, which I believe is not a good sign."

"Overall, I believe that the players who are not yet ready should be given maximum opportunities but the team selected by the selection committee is a weak team with big names. In this team they have selected Pakistan's top strength players but against this team the strength should be 60-40 with 60 to 70 percent of the players being those who need to develop and 30 to 40 percent being those who are already developed but here they tried to assemble a full-strength side by picking those players who were even sitting at home, which is not a good sign. We are repeating the same mistake again and again where we should develop our young talent but instead, we select our main players and when any major tournament comes, we face problems."

 

[160KPH]

I can’t help but to feel excited to see the boys in green back in action. Franchise cricket never hit the same as international cricket for me.

 

[Kianig89]

The second coming of Babar Azam the captain hopefully he will show the toothless agression

 

[Nikhil_cric]

NZ should go with

Robinson
Seifert(wk)
Foxcroft
Clarkson
Chapman
McConchie
Bracewell(c)
Foulkes
O'Rourke
Sears
Duffy

Let's see what this side can do against full strength Pakistan side. Should be very interesting to see

So, Seifert and Robinson are opening.

 

[Savak]

Good crowd in Pindi, never dissapoints
