Speaking in an interview:

"Such things as being called Parchi was clear for me earlier in life and they really don't matter to me - in fact, let me tell you something interesting, I am thinking of launching a brand called Parchi; I have to take this whole thing as my strength; So the brand name will say Parchi and below that it will say 26; We are working on this idea and there is no shame in this"

Sounds like a good idea. There's no reason to sob about something you can't instantly change(people's opinions), it's better to just own it. If he keeps performing well he will eventually lose the "Parchi" label.
 
Looks like being called parchi has really hurt him and fired him up.

His performance has improved too.

It will hurt any self-respecting person if they are called Parchi when they are not. It hurts because this one word erases away all your hard work of 10 years in attaining a place in the Pakistan team.

The one true parchi I saw in Pakistan cricket was Junaid Zia. Now he was a true parchi.
 
Imam is ranked #2 in ODI as of this moment with a rating of 815.

The people who still shout 'parchi' are simply idiots.
 
He might have begun life as a parchi, nobody really knows but he is now there on merit.

Along with Babar and Shaheen he is an automatic pick in ODI's. That's pretty good company to be in.
 
We need more "parchis" like Imam.

A true hard-worker who is improving everyday.

I will blindly take him over the jokers we have had at the top of the order in the past 15 years.
 
Let your bat do the talking young man.

I still feel he has a lot of work ahead of him and several areas of improvement.

His bat has been talking ever since he made his international debut. He is the second best odi Batsman in the world with an average of 55.
 
He seems like someone who likes having a chip on his shoulder and uses the negative criticism towards him as motivation. Good on him. As long as he is scoring runs, it doesn't matter if he is criticized or not criticized.
 
People have been calling parchi since his debut even though he started off with a century.

He has proved himself a capable player from day one and never deserved to be criticized. He was a prolific scorer with a cool head - he had weaknesses (strike rotation, short balls) but he was still a lot better than the alternatives and has improved leaps and bounds on these fronts because of his dedication and strong work ethic.

He is the premier Test and ODI opener in the country and I am really glad that he has thrown Mr. Zero Talent Shan Masood out of the Test team in spite of PPers throwing their toys out of the pram.

Furthermore, there is nothing wrong in having a parchi. It is delusional Pakistani mentality. The developed world call it things like networking etc.

Just because you have a parchi it doesn’t mean you are not deserving or you are not capable.

Fawad Alam with his joker technique would have never been selected in any trial, and if his father was not a former FC cricketer and a very respectable figure in Karachi cricket, he would have never broken through the system.

So Fawad had a parchi but he also proved himself by becoming a hugely successful batsman in domestic cricket.

People who mock Imam for having a parchi will not hesitate in using their contacts and references to get their way in their own lives. I am glad Imam has thrown eggs on their faces with his performances.

I'd love to have Imam open for us along with Rohit. Dhawan is so obviously past it but still won't leave us.

Seems like a genuinely nice guy and fun loving.
 
Well done Parchi, world class knock of 2 today.
 
Out for 2... Really do feel our players set themselves up for strange situations with such comments.
 
He has very fundamental technical flaws in his batting that always get exposed when he isn't batting on flat pancakes. How he is in the test side, and Shan Masood isn't just beggars belief. But then again, Pakistan did drop Fawad Alam after two bad tests and showed an unseemly level of faith in Imran Butt so maybe there's no point thinking logically about it...
 
He’s lucky to be playing the ODI format in the easiest era of all time where even Shehzad could have a decent average this format will save him in some ways and hide his technical faults.

In tests he has little chance to make it other than highway wickets no chance of him becoming a decent test batsman with his technique.
 
Ordinary shot today.

Straight up and down ball that he should have played with ease.

the concept of networking doesnt lie well with Pakistanis cricket fans. Though most will pretend to be righteous and but i believe everyone will try to benefit from nepotism or anything if they have the source.

Networking is something that was taught in our university aswell, and Unis admit that you are more likely to lad a job or a position by the networks you have got and not just by your resume.

Funny thing is, the whole parchi system is like having a reference.

Once you get it, its up to you how you perform.

They couldn't have dropped Imam today...given his last series performances

Although I agree he isn't the best choice for test opener.
 
Test average of 34 after 28 innings are hardly earth shattering numbers.

In Pakistan, averages 74.00
Outside Pakistan, averages 24.35

Perhaps he should look at these numbers before launching his brand.

I think he should've said this after retirement. If he loses form, this type of statement can come back to bite him.
 
Imam averaging 54 in 4th innings. If we are to win this test, we need a big innings from him
 
Should partner up with Khushdil Shah. Maybe give 50% equity

Maybe a joint venture between Imam and Khushdil?
 
Khushdil the Shah should be made brand ambassador of parchi.

Imam and khushdil two parchis enjoying the benefits of being parchi.

That's sad. Imam was always going to be tried in international cricket, he was a promising cricketer in U19 and was being hyped up at a young age. Him and Sami Aslam was a very strong partnership at U19, the hope was for them to become our new opening pair. We've picked players plenty of times off the back of strong performances at youth level, even before they've had a chance to excel in domestic. That's what happened with Imam, even though now his stats at domestic are now pretty good. If he didn't perform, he would have been sent back to grind in domestic, which I'm sure he would have done and earned his recall back. But he has been consistently performing since his debut which is hugely impressive.

I think people are just upset that he isn't exactly a quick scoring player. So they look at a way to criticise him, and see he's related to Inzi. That doesn't make him a 'parchi' though. That international record is just far too good to seriously think that.

Agreed he's making use off all the world work and skill he has.
 
Him & moins sons are the biggest parchiis going Imam has no shot range can only bat 1 way can’t field to save his life drops sitters.
 
I think some will always have to perform even better than others to show their worth to the team.

The best way for Imam to silence his critics is by scoring runs and making runs when Pakistan needs them most, just as he did against Afghanistan recently.
 
I like how he's leaning into it. A bit like Bruce Wayne choosing the name "Batman" because he was afraid of bats. Love the flair
 
Here are Imams strike rates over the last 5 years:

2019 - 79

2020 - 79

2021 - 79

2022 - 94

2023 - 79

Make of the what you will considering a lot of bilaterals are played against B teams and minnows on batting friendly wickets.

One year where you can say he’s done well is that enough for him to perform well at the Asia and World Cup against full strength teams.
 
Well an opportunity for him to seal a win and take his team home.

Currently batting at a strike rate of 82.

Usually go slow in comparison to other top ODI openers. A few big shots will be played once he gets to 100.
 
Looked good agaun today, but Pakistan have some absolute clowns in the middle order so top 3 are crucial
 
what was impressive today was that he only hit 4 boundaries in his 91 and still maintained a healthy strike rate
 
Imam's well-executed singles and doubles were impressive tonight.. This teaches us that building an innings is possible through both singles and doubles as well.
 
I have never understood the hate that this guy gets from some Pakistani fans. He has limited range but within that range he’s international class. And it’s not as if Pakistan has a wealth of batsmen to choose from.

I guess it’s a typical case of a player that home fans gang up on for some reason. Common around the world in all sports, across teams.

At various points in time India’s equivalent (note I’m not comparing him to Imam, just giving a parallel) would be Cheteshwar Pujara, who’s performed in Tests and yet was/ is freely abused.
 
Imam should focus on playing for team, rather then his selfish, cowardice knock vs India, usual go slow in PP
 
Imam is out today with a back spasm. Is this a blessing in disguise for todays shortened match? Or would his anchoring abilities be especially needed today against a fiery Lankan bolwing attack?
 
I hope some Pakistani doesn't use the same logic for the term P@ki. Trying to turn an insult in to some advantage is stupid.
 
Could someone provide more context around what this whole matter is about? I am at sea about this whole controversy

is this for real or did he fake it for the do or die match

I think people get blinded by his ODI average.

Break it down though and you'll get a clearer picture of just how that average has been constructed.

lots of soft easy, meaningless runs. Plus in modern day requirements of ODI opening batters around the world he's like a snail in PP and takes to long getting 100s, something I've highlighted numerous times.

He's the least threatening highly ranked batsman
 
We've got some very, very fine players. Yes, Rizwan and Babar are exceptional players, but let's not forget that we've got Imam-Ul-Haq, I think, in the top five ODI players at the moment. said Arthur on Thursday during ICC world cup press conference.

He needs to make sure that he Is going at run a ball atleast.

Arthur said Imam is a top 5 odi player? Look at how Australian openers batted in warmups, how NZ openers batted and how even England openers like bairstow was batting.

Atleast learn to accelerate. Imam is the only batsmen I have ever seen in my life who scores his 2nd 50, slower then his 1st 50, because 4 to 5 fielders standing outside the circle is too much for him 😂.

That 2nd 50 thing is absolutely correct!

Once he settles in his pace drops to the point where opponents no longer feel any need to get him out. :ROFLMAO:

He should never have been part of the squad let alone playing for the team.

I would’ve picked Saim Ayub ahead picked the best two out of him, Fakhar and Abdullah Shafique.

Exactly. Well said. He doesn’t come across someone who’s likeable either.

If he was good and was actually playing well, I wouldn’t care about it but what bothers me is his unwarranted arrogance.

In the history of team sports, I’ve never ever heard anyone say “I’m automatic selection”.

That‘s the worst attitude you could ever have. For such a mediocre player to think he’s untouchable is major red flag for me.

I agree, to this day I still ponder why someone like him was selected. I wonder what strings he pulled. Cough Inzi Cough 👀.

Inzi should never have been appointed as Chief Selector. He’ll always demand for him to be selected in the team.

I remember how inzi said he wouldn't select imam until he improved his performance but imam performance didn't change one bit and then he got selected 😂.

To be fair to imam, he was 100x superior to shehzad as a bat, but he went unnoticed because fakhar was inform and imam complimented him well by hanging in their.

What people don't realise is that you shouldn't have one accumulator and one striker, but openers should be strikers lol or atleast one striker and one accumulator WITH A 4TH AND 5TH GEAR like Mitchell Marsh.

NZ openers, Aus openers, Indian openers, SA openers, England openers,

^^ All these lads 100x superior to our opening combo, heck even liton das shown how opening or batting is done lol 😂.

Sigh we never learn. PCB us obsessed with accumulators, have been since 2011.

As I was saying earlier, I’ve been far from impressed as soon as he opened his mouth and said “I’m automatic selection”.

That was a major red flag for me. For a mediocre player to think he’s untouchable. Well Imad give your head a wobble.

The thing is, this ego nonsense is something that is common with mediocre bats of Pakistan, and funny enough no good batsmen actually makes such claims lol.

Umar akmal in nadir ali's podcast said injustice was being done to him because he's the only player in Pakistan who has the caliber to humiliate muri level spinners 😂😂.

Similarly shehzad once stated as to how he's as vital to Pakistan as kohli is to India lol.

It's why I love players like sarfi, He's never once attacked or made such nonsense claims. On nadir ali's podcast he was so happy to represent Pakistan same with saim ayub,

Saim ayub didn't make nonsense claims such as how he's gonna be the next devillers for Pakistan 😂😂, on nadir ali podcast he outright said that he admires devillers and no player can ever achieve what that man did in the middle order.

Pakistani fans needs to realise one thing.

CHOOSE THE PLAYERS WHO ARENT OBSESSED WITH MEDIA CLAIMS.

Misbah, Umar, Imam, even rizzu.

^^ Major red flags waving at your face 😂.

The funny thing with Rizwan is he used to be so humble.

He had a chance to play some ODIs after the 2015 WC but was then dropped. He was interviewed by PP and asked about this, he didn’t offer any excuses but instead accepted that his performance with the bat was below standards.

Now the fame has got to his head.

I'm aware. I followed rizzu for a very long time.

I remember one of his interviews where he outright stated he was very happy to bat at no 6 because even though he enjoys batting higher, he knows he doesn't merit a spot with hafeez, Malik, Haris sohail at the top and isn't superior to them, he outright said its because he believes its right to play for Pakistan and not yourself.

Now it's, Why am I batting at no 5? I want no 4, Damn you everyone, do you know who I am? I am Muhammad rizwan, the great, the almighty, I will have my No 4.😂😂.

Although the thing with rizzu is that I really don't know if fame got into his head or if he was always a con artist.

The guy contradicts himself 24/7. He was against sarfraz replacing him I test initially, slandering sarfi constantly on media, but as soon as sarfi makes a 100 and has a killer test innings he now says

" I understand I had bad form, and I'm happy to step down for a better wicket keeper batsmen in test, for the spirit of Pakistan "

Like all these fake injuries nonsense, and him contradicting himself on media 24/7. I don't know if it's fame, or if he was always a Sly fox 😂😂. I genuinely do not know.

Great post.

Wow I can’t believe he was actually slandering him.

Yes all those contradictory statements are there for everyone to see.

I think you might be on to something when you say he might be a con artist after all this time. You could argue it’s both because this guy wants to be a celebrity. You can smell it from miles away.

He doesn’t play for the team with his approach towards milestones.

Bro the thing Is, every world cup its the same old story. We come in looking strong via 2nd string bashing, but then automatically fail miserably and then fans blame the talent.

Truth is, their is no such thing as natural talent, No one is born with genes to automatically succeed lol.

Sides play 2nd strings because they don't care about results, 1st string players play framchise or test or List A, Like Joe root since 2019 has only played 10 odi's until now, since then England has cultivated malan, Brook etc.

NZ didn't care about getting thrashed by pakistan. They played their 2nd string, Mark champman, Ravindra, Henry, darly Mitchell, Neesham all 2nd string players thay are now goated match winner and 1st string players.

That's how all teams function, Theirs a reason India keep finding replacements such as Gill for Dhawan. I have been following gill, Gill use to suck, he became goated after playing a while.

Same with babar, Babar got lucky the he played against Zimbabwe, the guy besides a cover drive was poor, he couldn't even rotate strike. Babar bloomed because he was given a long run and mickey identified Babar was born to bat at no 3 in all formats, something which Babar has betrayed since then via his t20 nonsense.

The only time we played a 2nd string side against afghanistan, Despite losing, in the 3rd t20 saim ayub bloomed and single handidelt destroyed afghanistan leading to pur victory.

The side that won the emerging Asia cup something our legendary no 1 team couldn't do, coming in last in the super 4, this team needed a long run irrespective of the results.

Saim, omair bin aziz, tayyab, Saud all these players should have been given a long rope with saud as captain because this is the team that won you emerging asia cup and saim clearly showed he's talented by single handidely demolishing the worlds best spin attack.


^^ Do you wanna know why we sent our 2nd string side? And discarded them? Same way we discarded tayyab and saim ayub? It's because unlike NZ who was looking to cultivate talent against us, we were using that series as an excuse to justify why babar and rizzu are oxygen for the team even though those guys hadn't been given a run.

Another problem is this media nonsense. As I said earlier talent is cultivated.

Let me tell you something, a player like Ahmed shezad, I guarantee you he could have become pakistan's kohli. I am dead serious. You know why he didn't? If you watched the movie MS Dhoni the untold story, Dhoni wasn't talented, yuvi was clearly superior, but Dhoni kept developing his skills, he identified his weakness in each game and this led to him developing the iconic helicopter shot.

Shehzad lacked strike rotation and was a bunny to inswing, you know what he did? Go to media and talk about his fame , same with umar, was a brilliant striker but had issues, instead of practising like kohli or Dhoni, he goes to media and says murli is scared of him 😂😂😂.

Media hype of rizzu being the best wk, Babar being Don Bradman, Imam being top 5 is the reason players don't bother improving and building their talent. Imam and rizzu haven't improved since day 1 of their debut, unlike someone like rohit sharma or Rahul or Steve Smith lol.


If you don't wanna read this essay I'll sum it up.


A) No grooming via 2nd string development even though our 2nd string won an emerging asia cup but our 1st string came dead last minus Nepal lol.

B) unnecessary media hype causing players to develop ego problems and not improve their skills or identify areas of concern.

It isn't hard to tell Imam "Listen, your 100's are good and all, but you suck at lofted stroke play and acceleration, you gotta bat like modern day openers, you have 20 games to iron out your issues, so kiddo start practising in the nets and practise and improve, if you don't improve after 20 games, you are dropped until you improve In domestic. We have someone like saim who can take your place"

^^ Imam would be forced to improve and iron out issues but he doesn't because inzi Beta needs love and respect and hand holding, Imam peaked on his debut 😂😂😂.

Now the fame has got to his head.
Ironic given his preaching.

Wonder if he's got any Khutba planned this month..?
 
Let's see if its usual safety 1st selfish batting in PP as usual
 
After Babar only Imam has the highest batting Avg in cricket. So, let's not lose faith in him he is a world class player and I am confident that he will deliver in this world cup.

Bro averages mean nothing in this day and age honestly. Especially considering how many players just play franchise unless it's a tournament.

Joe root literally only played 10 odi's since 2019, same with Smith, Hardly any odi's since 2019.
 
This guy is one of the most boring batsman around and talks with such arrogance. Look at his batting stance and how he moves always trying to play it safe. In a chase over 300, theonger he plays the better for the opposition as he always scored his runs like 60 (85), 70 (90). Never seen him score a quick 50 or a 100 always playing for himself..
 
Arthur said Imam is a top 5 odi player? Look at how Australian openers batted in warmups, how NZ openers batted and how even England openers like bairstow was batting.

Atleast learn to accelerate. Imam is the only batsmen I have ever seen in my life who scores his 2nd 50, slower then his 1st 50, because 4 to 5 fielders standing outside the circle is too much for him 😂.
Yep. Once the field spread, all he does is dab it to 3rd man and hope for the best, not that he is some dynamite even in powerplay :imam
