Ramiz Raja asked nothing about team composition and players,

Just asked Babar and Rizwan about their preferred batting positions
 
“Main tou open hi karunga”

Pakistan jaye bhaar main! Talent jaye bhaar main! Cricket jaye bhaar main!


Main tou open hi karunga!
 
Guess who said this at the coin toss of the first match of the season for his new franchise?

Is this not blatant proof that Pakistan cricket is still being held hostage by selfish individuals who are destroying the careers of deserved players for the T20 openers? A tried and tested failure in T20 is given captaincy, and then adamantly insists on opening?!
 
Ramiz:“What’s a good score here batting first”

Rizwan: “I don’t know, that’s why I batted first”



Why can’t this guy simply admit he will not get out of that personal, selfish mindset??
 
looking uncomfortable out there. Make or break for him this PSL. Really needs to prove that he is a future opener for Pakistan with a solid performance. He’s got hitting power but more often than not looks static


Shamyl looked quality yesterday albeit Shoriful is a better bowler than the garbage he faced
 
Probably don’t want to send two inexperienced openers to start the first game but yeah there was no harm in Rizwan coming in at 3
QG’s inexperienced opener scored a 21 ball 50 yesterday

The guy came through the system as an opener. He’s an opener! Either play him as an opener or don’t play him?
 
Aaron Hardie second over…


What’s the point? He doesn’t open the bowling for anyone in T20
 
There is no one in the ground.

So how does Rizwan have an issue with the sightscreen!
 
You’ve got to hand it to Babar,

The guy never ceases to amaze when it comes to bizarre decisions as captain
 
Why isnt Naseem Shah and Amir bowling? Poor captaincy from Babar giving the youngster Ali Raza an over before Shah and Amir. Hardie hasnt been good either.
 
Two right handers at the crease

How these guys didn’t plan ahead with a left arm spin option in the powerplay is beyond comprehension
 
Ultra flat wicket. Pakistani highways are special to bat on. Most flattest wickets on earth.
 
Otis Gibson seems more interested in giving lip service to Babar instead of building proper strategies
 
Why isnt Naseem Shah and Amir bowling? Poor captaincy from Babar giving the youngster Ali Raza an over before Shah and Amir. Hardie hasnt been good either.
How can Babar give the ball to bowlers who are playing for the other team? :kp
 
You’ve got to hand it to Babar again.

What’s he saving his spinners for on this dry track?
 
Excellent by the spinner only 5runs off it. Bracewell.

Babar bowled Hardie for no reason early on. 2 very costly overs!
