The softies on PP need to realize that there are 11 men playing out there. If anyone has a problem with Sarfraz's behavior, they'll let him know.
This attitude works for this team. They need the danda! Keep it up, Sarfraz!
We don't want another Misbah-esque "calm" captain! Thank you very much!
I am sure he makes up for his terrible on-field behaviur by being nice to them off it.
Being nice off the field? That is a quite obvious thing to do. It’s when the heat is one your behaviour is tested and he is quite rubbish at that. It just doesn’t look good, he screams at every single ball and come across as a angry little man. Just keep your head cool and talk to the players between the overs and in breaks. He makes many mistakes himself during the match, but no one can scream at him, once others do he is all over them.
I say what l feel is correct and I am not your typical fan’boy. And I don’t care if he is from Karachi or Lahore. Saying that because a few posters here think he is critisizing him merely because he is from Khi.
These things cannot be changed, ultimately you are who you. Sarfaraz has always been a hyper active individual. I don't see him lasting long as captain especially when we play against the Big 5 frequently.
10 series wins out of 10 as T20 captain, but let's keep bumping this thread.
He doesn't yell at the ones who would.
Looking at his non-reaction, I was surprised he didn't go up to Hafeez and say "beautiful drop Hafeez bhai. You are the best."

People can keep crying Sarf will remain captain... Just won Test and T20 series against Aussie which is not being disgested by some people. They would much rather see Pak fail so that they can bash Sarf than see us do well under him. Who needs such "fans"
Like it’s been mentioned many times There’s no need to be shouting and screaming It does no good whatsoever in fact it will have the opposite effect on the players
There’s other better ways of showing your displeasure then shouting your lungs out
Chill man, don't you remember the fact that we lost a bilateral series to NZ under him?
He has to win 3 world cups just to make up for that.
Let’s pretend the Asia Cup never happened and he will look like a great captain.
His behaviour is not good. He is not the only one who is playing. All the time he is at the players and doesnt allow them that space to think on their own.
Which is not a great sign for a professional player. Everyone in the team should have a role and everyone should feel comfortable and free in their minds while playing the game. A players shouldnt have in the back of their minds the captain shouting at them on a little mistake. As that ll have a bad effect at their performance. The players must feel free and comfortable and as a result the players ll feel that they are a important part of the team. That also ll have a good effect in the players improvements and performance.

No need to be ridiculous about everything.
The Asia Cup did happen, and he was undoubtedly poor with his tactics and with the bat as well. I was all for him getting sacked/dropped/rested, moreso after the 1st Test against Australia.
However, he has redeemed himself since then and credit must be given. Batted well in a pressure-cooker, do-or-die situation to save the series and ultimately, his captaincy. Also set much better fields for Yasir. Followed that up with a T20 series whitewash against a pretty good Aussie team. He's very much already the GOAT T20I captain, even though it may not mean too much. Stats back that up.
You'd be quite petty to only look at one side of the story here.

Pakistan needs a captain to do this to the players. Imran khan used to do it also. The fact is unfortunately there are too many lazy and unhardworking individuals in our team. They win a match somehow and then relax because they performed in 1 match so even if they fail in the next match it's fine cos they won't be dropped. This has been clearly apparent in Ahmed shehzad, umar akmal, Mohammad Hafeez and many more talented cricketers who have significantly underachieved. Sarfraz needs to make players scared so players work harder in every match. When sarfraz inevitably gets removed as captain you will see the consequences and most ppers will be crying for sarfraz to come back. There is no better captain in Pakistan atm whether you like it or not.
and who will shout at Sarfraz? the only player who has stopped putting any effort with the bat is Sarfraz himself. Just look at some of his Akmal type dismissals. No one is in need of danda more than him.
Didn't Sammy lead the West Indies to two T20 world cups?He is a mediocre player just like how Darren Sammy lead West Indies. Doesn’t deserve a place in Pakistan team
and who will shout at Sarfraz?

? Malik and Sarfaraz have no business captaining Pakistan in ODIs as they don’t make the team on merit.What did his shouting do in the 5-0 to NZ, Asia Cup, and the games he played in South Africa? Malik and Sarfaraz have no business captaining Pakistan in ODIs as they don’t make the team on merit.
Who should be captain then?What did his shouting do in the 5-0 to NZ, Asia Cup, and the games he played in South Africa? Malik and Sarfaraz have no business captaining Pakistan in ODIs as they don’t make the team on merit.

Babar has temperament issues in his batting he needs to fix. Doesn't have the personality of a captain.Sarfaraz's future as a captain depends on the World Cup. After that Pakistan should try Babar/Shadab.
Babar has temperament issues in his batting he needs to fix. Doesn't have the personality of a captain.
Shadab is a good option, but the lad hasn't even played 100 international matches yet.
His handling of Junaid Khan after he misfielded was quite a break from the normal shouting thing he does! Good to see but maybe a sign of desperation rather than anything else.
Credit where it is due. He stayed composed under pressure. It was good to see.
When everyone is performing better than you and team is losing, I doubt he will be screaming at other players.Only a matter time before he goes back to his usual ways it's just in the DNA unfortunately and he had never been the guy to be a bit smart consistently in these situations
Very composed that he forgot to appeal for a clear run out.
It's very tough to expect a logical reply from blind followers.Still better than all 3 akmals but together

Seems like the players were fine with it, unlike many of the naysayers in this thread.

I'm surprised to see just how many Pakistani cricket fans have such strong hatred for Sarfraz that isn't performance related, they just seem to hate him as a person... all because he comes from a different part of the country. Wow!
He had a couple of mildly embarrassing moments on the field, but nothing to get so worked up about. Overall he represented Pakistan very well as captain and leader of the national team, should be proud

Sarfaraz got the best out of these 2 while he was the established captain. Once his form dropped and his captaincy came into serious question during every series both of these players dropped off massively.
