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
.
) knowing Imam he will probably do this.
