Joe Root is the best Batsmen in world cricket right now, and it's not even close.
 
Mohammad Rizwan has moved to the number 9 spot in the latest ICC Test batter Rankings.

The guy is making a move now.

He’s making a move towards tarnishing the Test rankings as well as he did with T20i
 
Devadwal said:
Test matches are won by support from all the players including bowlers . so its not Rizwan fault that Pakistan pace attack were toothless or other batsman were not up to the Mark's .

Virat scored 4 test century in australia in 2015/16 series yet india lost the series 2-0 Because We did not have a world class bowling attack to win the matches ,now we have a world class bowling so we are competitive or winning the series away from home also .

I can understand your perspective when you revere Sachin. I bet he and Rizwan would make great buddies, maybe even create a bingo for all the times they scored runs which didn’t yield victories.
 
Rizwan's rise in the test batter rankings continues as he moved up 1 spot to jump at number 8 in the latest ICC Test batters rankings

He has now moved further up as he is in the number 7 spot now in the latest rankings.

The upcoming series against England is very important for him. Can enter top 5 after this series.

I think he should exit the top 10. England should put him in his place. Unless its a road pitch but even then idc, since bazzball will put him in place either way.
 
During an interview with local Podcast, Pakistan express pacer Ihsanullah said:

“No, I don’t have a favourite Indian player."

"My favourite player is Mohammad Rizwan, whether current or from the past. He is my favourite player in the world."
 
Mohammad Rizwan's strike rate is the talk of the town and is a real concern for Pakistan cricket fans, especially during the powerplays.

Mohammad Rizwan in his last 10 ODI innings:

249 runs
331 balls
6 dismissals
41.5 avg
75.2 strike rate
 
50 up for captain Rizwan and going strong now. How much would he add before departing in the 2nd ODI against South Africa
 
MOTM innings from Kaptaana today. Perfect ODI template and one of the best white ball batsmen going around. Series winning innings. So happy.
 
He is a good performer in ODIs but a baggage in t20s, as I said earlier, if someone like Rizwan is the best white ball batter in the world then cricket is at its nadir.
He has no offside game and neither has the talent or technique to become the best white ball batter, a good ODI player, thats it.

That's all we need him to be is GOOD.
 
This thread holds a special place in my heart. My first thread on PP

Pakistan have managed to chase down 200+ scores thanks to rizwan multiple times. Lol, and we got into t20 World Cup final thanks to him smacking New Zealand. Not everyone can go in guns Blazing each match and expect to perform consistently. Even Kholi has been unable to do that. Kholi cost India the game against England because his 50 of 42 balls ended up giving India a score of only 170, on a batting pitch against England. Kholi's slow nature also ended up giving pak the win and breaking the moca moca curse.

No player can perform in every single match, however its thanks to rizwan Pakistan has been able to chase down 200 scores, as of late.

This is Riz's ODI record in various countries. He is ok in Asia, but crap outside of it -- on slower asian pitches, he can survive, even thrive, with his iffy technique, but in SENA he is actually terrible and the stats highlight this really well.

Even dhoni s record isnt flash outside asia besides new zealand.
 
His test output in critical innings is very poor one of the main reasons we are not getting over the line despite competing in SENA is the likes of Riz-Bab rarely stand up when the game has to be taken control
 
A great start to the PSL for Rizwan bhai.

Class is forever and Yezzizzza toooooo
 
When Rizwan is playing like Chris Gayle in domestic then you really not have many good young talented players coming through. (Neither bowlers nor batsmen)
 
When you open the innings and have batted throughout the innings, you should be ending with a strike rate of 230-250. Rizwan's innings was too slow
 
He must have been gutted to have scored what looked like a fine century, only to watch England reject James Vince score one in almost half the balls.
 
Rizwan stopped improving once he became a regular in internationals. He just has one lapairu shot to hit sixes. That doesn't work every time. If he had worked on his offside game and vertical bat shots down the ground then he could have been very useful. He has quick batspeed and strong base but thats about it.
 
He needs proper team to guide .. due to worst selectors he is letting down the team in captaincy

when can we see proper full fledged pak team ????????? worst selectors wont let that happen ..

1. saim ayab
2. fakhar zaman
3. babar azam
4. rizwan
5. kamran ghulam
6. saud shakeel
7. salman agha
8. abbas afridi
9. aamer jamal
10. abrar/sajid khan
11. sufiyan muqeem

Rizwan has shots on the off side, he only unleashes them when he is truly in. However under pressure and early on in his innings, he by default always plays on the leg side which is undoing as teams know where to put the fielders on the leg side for him.

Looks like a fine knock to me.If you lose after scoring 230+ in a T20 game, the bowling gets the blame for the match or fielding. Just like if your team is allout for a sub-par score you won’t blame the bowling but only treat it as a bonus if they defend it.

He scored 50 off 38

He was nudging in the middle overs as the set opener. Plenty of runs lost in that middle period. They had 2-3 batsmen in the dug out who didn’t bat.

This loss is on him.

On paper it looks like a great knock but unless Rizwan improves his SR in PP his contribution will remain ineffective. Unfortunately that's how he played in 2021 T20 WC SF against Aus when he played almost 9 overs and the likes of Hafeez, Malik, Asif Ali didn't got chance to bat because of him. He usually scores his 50 at SR of 120-125, consumes full PP and then he try to accelerate by scoring some big shots. Occasionally he ends up with SR of 150+ but mostly he ends up with SR of 120-130

He is weak on cut shot and is trapped once bowlers start bowling back of a length 4th stump line. Cummins got his wicket many times like this. He can't even run it down to third man for a single which most decent batsman can do.

One thinks that when you only look at the scorecard. Happened to me before.
 
Rizwan played a fine knock and his team posted a good total.

When you bat so well and the other team chases it down, just take your hat off, and acknowledge them. It doesn’t happen so often.

Reminds me of the 2016 WT20 semi final we played against West Indies. We posted 190 something that day and at that time it felt like we had a winning total but West Indies just went on a crazy 6 hitting spree to chase it down. Kudos to them but Virat played a fine knock that day imo.

Actually in IPL also tonight, Punjab lost to Sunrisers after posting 245.

It’s ok
You have to remember when you bat first you don’t know how much is going to be enough

Therefore being 50 off 38 is not acceptable when you don’t know how many will be enough on a road.

He batted poorly up until the 15th/16th over.
 
The guy who score 45% of his teams score of 234 is to blame for todays loss...... now i get why posters dont indulge with @Rana

234 is not a bad total.

:facepalm
 
T20 needs to be viewed differently

1744494507320.png

Rizwan was given an impact rating of 89 runs despite scoring 105.

James Vince was given an impact rating of 126 for his 101.

Despite the scorecard showing Rizwan scored 4 more. - the impact stats has James Vince 37 ahead.

Now I dont know how these stats are calculated but having watched the game ball by ball, I am in agreement.

This is not tests where % of team runs matter. Here's the actual stat,

He scored 45% of the team runs while facing 53% of the total balls.

Therefore rest of the team just got 47% balls but had to score 55% of the runs

If entire team had played same strike rate as he did, the team total would have been just 208, when it was clearly a 250 pitch.

Bhai there is no need to make sense or provide context to him.

It will fly over his head.

If 250 was chased down, you would had said it was a 270 pitch..

Point is, once you cross into 200, its the bowlers game to defend.

You cant justify a bowler having an economy rate of 20 or 16

Yes

Every time a fraud is opening in the powerplay, and illegally occupying that spot due to power….

He will be responsible for that loss.

Same goes for Babar.

Deal with it.

This is why I tell you the game has changed. The days of 160-180 and now 200 on normal T20 batting surfaces was the target for good batting sides of previous years.

Qg scored 200+, the bowlers defended it well than
 
Rizzu played a very good knock. As I said, Psl is =/= international. Both saud and rizwan are good in PSL but rubbish in international.

It's unfair to compare him to overseas batters as the likes of Vince, Warner, Seifert ensure the batting lineup remains star studded.
