[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Mohammad Amir - a failed career?

Its ironic that Rana is telling me to grow up.

Farhat never sold the country for a few pounds. Farhat never was placed in a jail cell for corruption.

This award was given to Amir. A Pakistani cricketer who got locked up in a jail cell. Thus, being a criminal. Farhat was never a criminal atleast.
No it’s not ironic that I am telling you to grow up. We all know about your hypocrisy and toxic agendas here. You won’t have any problem with Amir if he didn’t show up the unprofessionalism of Misbah ul Haq when it comes to dealing with high value cricketers.

It’s funny how Amir was begged to return for Pakistan even though Imran Farhat according to you is more respected

What an A class bongi!

i have been bashing Amir since 2011.

Its funny how Amir is a criminal and Farhat isnt. Farhat served Pakistan with diginity. Amir served Pakistan by bringing in a criminal record and dragging the name down.

Amir’s mistake is God’s to forgive.

Amir’s respect is certified. 2 of the GOAT batsmen of the modern era have said Amir is one of the best/most difficult bowlers they have faced.

No one cares about Major claiming Imran Farhat is more respected than Amir.

Which two?

I'm guessing one is Kohli

Amir is a criminal. Farhat was never one. Farhat was never thrown in a Jail cell.

Only a few cricketers were deemed as criminals and Amir was one of them

No need to invoke God, because what if God doesnt forgive? What if he pays for his sins after life too? So invoking God just to justify a criminals crimes makes 0 sense so no need to invoke God.
 
And Steven Smith.
Wow that's impressive.

It's a shame Amir couldn't be skillful against the USA software engineers. That is a big black mark in his career.

Overall if you have achieved what he has despite two big players rating you so highly then it's safe to say it's an underachieving career.

Amir did what he had to to ensure Pakistan can still escape from the miserable situation it’s Batsmen particularly the frauds Babar and Rizwan put them into by scoring an underpar total on a road.

It’s not his fault that the world’s best T20 openers Babar and Rizwan decided to hide in the dug out in order to hit 18 runs off 6 balls.

You should be consistent in your criticism.

It was one of the worst super over performances of all time.

What happened before or after has no bearing on those 6 balls.
 
Amir is a criminal. Farhat was never one. Farhat was never thrown in a Jail cell.
That’s personal. Nothing to do with cricket.

I’m pretty sure a lot of people have done things that would throw them in a jail cell too if they don’t have to pay off those accusing them.

It was something that can happen to any bowler. It can happen.

What happened to RizBar? Holding Pakistan hostage for those powerplay spots but crapping their trousers when it mattered the most???

Amir got banned and got jailed for a crime he committed in cricket.

Sorry, you can keep wishing alot of people get thrown to jail, but Amir was a proven criminal that was jailed

So why are Pakistan begging him to play if he has no respect according to you whilst Imran Farhat is more respected? That makes Ahmed Shahzad more respected than Imran Farhat? Wahab Riaz is more respected and hold more sway than Misbah ul Haq??

What kind of stupid argument is that. So what do the comments by Kohli and Smith stand for?

Have you ever heard bowlers of the caliber of Dale Steyn or Mitchell Johnson say “Imran Farhat is one of the most difficult batter I have bowled to”??

A criminal will always have lower respect comapred to a guy with no criminal record.

Farhat had more self respect than Amir

They deserve criticism too. It was a real failure of leadership

It was a reality check actually. Everything that people have been saying for ages here all was exposed that day.

Whoever told Amir to bowl the super over deserves “ikees toupo ki salami” because that super over should have been bowled by Naseem.

With Babar and Rizwan not coming out, well that’s not surprising for people like me who have always been on their cases to expose them as frauds. But the people of Pakistan wish to forgive and forget their flaws a lot quicker.

I’m happy that the outrage of seeing them sneak in as openers is starting to become more apparent now.
 
Imran Farhat might get more respect due to no criminal record but he will get zero respect being a nepo kid as his father in law was part of national selection committee during his playing days

Do you specialise in the art of “saying nothing of value” whilst trying to say something of value?

Name one instance where @Major has critised rizwan? He and his buddy @daytrader treat rizzu and babar as kings.

Major only critised babar's captaincy cause it meant rizzu can take over alot quicker and misbah wanted rizzu as the ultimate captain and successor.

Otherwise when have they critised them?

Do they have a single comment talking and discussing sa vs Pakistan 1st t20? Or asia cup 2022? Or other such moments?

Heck daytrader goes on a tangent talking about rizwan got us close to a winning position aka 36 of 18.

Firstly 36 of 18 with 5 wickets down is not a winning position, secondly he lied about it. I checked. The actual match is 30 of 13 with only 3 wickets in hand.

That's an rr of 13.8 with only 3 wickets in hand, that is not a winning position and we didn't win anyway. That's a near impossible position given the fact that we have to score atleast 3 runs per delivery with only 3 wickets in hand.

The correct math is that rizzu scored 74 of 62 which means the entire team has to score 109 of 58? So everyone has to go at 11.3 to cover up his mess.

^^ Did you see these boys critising that? Or have they explained the science of how rizwan is the 2nd greatest odi batsmen of all time?

Major's counter to this was that Babar lives in my head rent free. Like what sort of counter is that? What does Babar have anything to do with rizwan being the 2nd best odi batter?
 
Imran Farhat might get more respect due to no criminal record but he will get zero respect being a nepo kid as his father in law was part of national selection committee during his playing days
We can respect him for being a good family man who made his susral proud.
 
Imran Farhat, a dude who played 58 ODI innings and amassed a total of 1 century, barely crossing a 30 average, has more respect than Amir :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: I've seen it all today.

here we go, here comes the guy who makes assumption.

Than again, according to him, Brad Hodge is a keeper.

Sure, but I think the context around it is super important. Without Amir, you don't reach a super over. It's as simple as that. The batsmen were definitely at most fault that day for treating USA like it was an Australian attack, and then the bowlers getting pummelled. Yes, the super over was bad, but we didn't have to do it in the first place. Context was super important that day
 
here we go, here comes the guy who makes assumption.

In my comment I said you would deflect and here's another deflection.

Go on and actually dispute this claim. What are your opinions on sa vs Pakistan 1st t20 game, followed by your claim about rizwan being Pakistan's 2nd best odi batter of all time.

Let's hear it.
 
I rate the T20 world cup achievement more than CT. Even in the T20 world cup it was mainly Afridis heroics but the way a young kid stepped up and executed that plan to Dilshan in the final was amazing. However, Afridi was probably our man if the tournament and MOTM in the final.

In the CT Hassan Ali was our stand out throughout the tournament. Amir did bowl very well in the final but most of the Indian fans agree that Fakhar Zaman broke their back. In the CT Hassan was our MOTS and Fakhar MOTM in final.

So yes while Amir did contribute and his contributions were at times important it is a bit of an exaggeration to say he won two cups for Pakistan as it's all down to him.
I think it's SO easy to say now that without Amir playing and bowling the way that he did, that India would have still won. Dhawan and Kohli were in the prime of their careers. That top 3 of India destroyed everyone that tournament. All in red hot form and averaging high 60s and 70s. Kohli being over a 100. In that Lords pitch, India had every chance to chase down that total. We all know what a great team India was at chasing. This was easy for them. They, along with the rest of India, definitely came out thinking that they got the CT in the bag. But Amir had different plans for them. Of course, Fakhar's, Hafeez', Hassan's, etc., all performances were crucial.. this is a team game. But Amir's was definitely a match tilting effort that has to be undeniable.
 
This thread is not for discussing Misbah or Imran Farhat so please avoid derailing it and refrain from trolling.
 
Then these guys should have the same context for when Misbah lost to India.

Without Misbah that game was done before the last over.

And anyway there isn't much context to a super over. The game is starting afresh. He just had to bowl 6 balls to software engineers. How much more context you wanna give and gymnastics you wanna do to absolve him from blame?
Brother, the regulation game IS the context, and the super over only exists because of the events of the game. You cannot just dismiss it. I am not absolving Amir of any blame. I literally said in my post that you are replying to that it was a bad super over. But do I think that means that all attention should be diverted to Amir for that super-over and he should be made out to be the match mujrim when the main question should be why are we playing a super over against the USA in the first place? Absolutely not. All the failures of the team in that match escaped criticism bc of that super over. That is my problem. Babar is fortunate that Amir and Naseem bowled well enough that they even had a shot at a super over where yes Amir lost it. But come on, a super over against USA? You first blame everything that led to that, and then the dude who was one of the few performers that day
 
So why are Pakistan begging him to play if he has no respect according to you whilst Imran Farhat is more respected? That makes Ahmed Shahzad more respected than Imran Farhat? Wahab Riaz is more respected and hold more sway than Misbah ul Haq??

World cricket has said some great words about babar too. Why u go running seeing that.

Amir was looking like great prospect when he came. Then he shamed whole nation. Then again he was okayish bowler with a great bowling mind and bowled some good spells.
But that doesnt mean he isnt a tainted spot fixer.

That isn't to say Amir didn't do well in the final. He did.

But it is being spun as if he single handedly won the trophy.
 
At the bare minimum he’s a Pakistani great, there is no doubt about it in my opinion. He was born to bowl those great spells when it mattered most with everything on the line. Having said that, yes, he should have achieved more and that is partly due to the individual and partly due to the regime.
This is a good concise sum up of Amir's career.

Thats fair.

he is still the mujrim in my eyes for the superover but your point about the rest of the match is valid.

No fakhar was a bigger match winner. There is a reason such high total has never been chased in a final.

But it was not only amir that won us that whole cup. Junaid bowled great. Even rumman stepped up in semifinal. Overall hassan ali was best bowler in the tournament

Exactly. People have such a short memory. He had barely done anything until we actually got to the final. Even then, Fakhar had won us the game long before Amir bowled his first delivery.

i dont have time for your stupid assumptions. You make up your own story to everything.

I have written reasons for babars bad captaincy and now you coming here telling that oh its because i wanted rizwan as captain. You really are a weird guy.

Than again you think brad hodge is a keeper, so im not surprsied by your thinking
 
@Major

The guy who ruined Amir’s career is Salman Butt, who is a disciple of Misbah ul Haq’s philosophy

Kohli passing a bat on to Amir for Imran Farhat who is more respected than Amir?
doesnt matter, he is a criminal that was locked up in a cell in UK.

This was the most insulting image for Pakistan cricket. Ashley Giles didnt even wanted to look at the face of the criminal. It was such an ugly event that the cheque present was even pictured upsdie down and the criminal who was lieing his teeth was just trying to run for cover.

This pic is after the day he was caught and the series ended.

Everyone is responsible for their own actions. You can try to pin it on anyone you want.


The criminal was caught doing corruption. He sold his country for a few pounds. Like i said even the worst cricketer of Pakstan is better than Amir.

He had failed career, and im glad he did. No criminal should be respected

Of course Ashley Giles didn’t want to look at his face because that’s not Ashley Giles 🤡

He had the ball on strings that day. That was one of the greatest opening spells of all time. Pressure of a final. Pressure of being on the backside due to the pummelling against the same team to open the tournament. Up against 3 of the best batters and the best top order in the world, all in sublime form. And it took one spell for them to perish against some elite bowling on a flat Lords' ground. That day alone should earn any genuine or sensible fan's respect.

We were in the middle of a heat wave, I was revising for uni exams and I had it on in the background bah gawd, it was also father’s day.

@Hitman phew gave him a beating after Amir’s strikes
 
@Major How you going to spin this one :yk3
spin what? Everyone knows what Amir did, if his fans want to stay in denial so be it

Many of us cant forgive the crime he comitted and how he played with Pakistans respect.
Like i said, someone like Farhat, who is the most hated crickter from Pakistan, had more respect than someone like Amir.

I have no qualms about not forgiving Amir, but what about the syndicate which enabled him; e.g Misbah’s best mate :butt

Farhat doesn’t have respect in his own backyard, Amir is internationally famous for his cricket (yes notorious for the jail time should be locked up for bruising Indians badly as well), everyone loves him in England from my own experiences

Amazing how Butt mimics everything Misbah preaches and looks to shut down any discussions of a modern, aggressive approach to batting.

Your charting nonsense. We can start looking at your posts from 2017-19

For your sake, you better hope everything you have written about Amir during this period better be consistent with the rubbish you are spouting now.

Misbahs mate was Malik not Butt.

Infact Misbah haters should bash Butt that because of him Misbah came back to interantional cricket as captain

Forgive and forget their flaws? They don't even talk about their flaws to begin with?

Name one instance where @Major has critised rizwan? He and his buddy @daytrader treat rizzu and babar as kings.

I criticized Babar's captaincy many time including the decision to not come out in the Super Over vs USA. You can revisit the match thread to refresh you memory.
Heck daytrader goes on a tangent talking about rizwan got us close to a winning position aka 36 of 18.

Firstly 36 of 18 with 5 wickets down is not a winning position, secondly he lied about it. I checked. The actual match is 30 of 13 with only 3 wickets in hand.

There you go again calling people liars when you've been exposed many times!!! Here's another example.

This was our position after the 17th over. We had 6 wickets in hand and 36 off 18 was needed. That was the equation, you can try twisting it however you like but this was reality.

Screenshot 2025-01-14 182717.png

So who's lying now? I'll give you A+ for effort though, at least this time you actually spent time to research before posting.

That's an rr of 13.8 with only 3 wickets in hand, that is not a winning position and we didn't win anyway. That's a near impossible position given the fact that we have to score atleast 3 runs per delivery with only 3 wickets in hand.

It was possible until we had a collapse in the 18th over. We lost 3 wickets for 5 runs which turned the momentum and created a near impossible possible. Rizwan though still hit 3 boundaries in the next over. All he needed was a bit of support and we could've won. A 6 instead of a wicket could've changed our fortunes.

The correct math is that rizzu scored 74 of 62 which means the entire team has to score 109 of 58? So everyone has to go at 11.3 to cover up his mess.

Math is not your strong point. Get tuition from @topspin

LOL no way, how did I miss this :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Same guy was telling me that since I don't watch other teams he knows more about international players.

Yeah I mean the collapse had nothing to do with Rizwan shooting the required run rate from 8-9 an over all the way up to 13-14 an over with him at the crease since ball 1?

It’s not Multan Sultans where Miller and Tim David will rescue them is it?

There you go, you hit the nail right on the head. Get such players in the Pak team and we can talk about slow Power Plays.

Until then it's a non issue.

The real problem, which you always ignore, is the lack of reliable power hitters in the middle and Pak being prone to collapses.

We scored 24 runs off the 17th over (Rizwan contributed 15 and hit 2 sixes) and he scored 12 off the 19th. We had momentum. If he had someone to support him, we could've won. Instead we gave 3 wickets to George Lind as if he's the 2nd coming of Imran Tahir.

Also we had a better PP than SA. 55/1 vs 43/3 yet they still won, so there goes your argument that matches are won in the PP.

Same here! Mohammad Amir has given me some of my happiest moments as a fan. That wicket in the 2009 T20 World Cup Final of Dilshan is also unforgettable.

I get that cricket is a team game as some players are highlighting performances of Fakhar, but you can’t deny how impactful those performances were. And honestly, anyone who thinks the trio of Rohit, Kohli, and Dhawan was just going to roll over on that flat pitch—lol, no way. That game was far from over at that point! Fakhar played a big role, but it’s Amir who sealed the deal.

Bro, I get it—what he did was a crime, and it was disappointing, no doubt about it. It left a bad taste and was one of the lowest points for all of us. But here’s the thing: every crime comes with a punishment, and once someone admits their fault, apologizes, and serves their punishment, shouldn’t that be the end of it?

Dragging them through the mud over and over doesn’t help anyone.

As they say: “If we believe in justice, then we also have to believe in redemption.”
 
Talk about Amir please instead of derailing the thread by bringing and sticking Rizwan and Babar everywhere.

DON"T you guys have anything else to talk about in every thread???

Thread is about amir and all I see is rizwan babar. These 2 guys touched the nerves of you guys badly...MOVE ON
 
Bro, I get it—what he did was a crime, and it was disappointing, no doubt about it. It left a bad taste and was one of the lowest points for all of us. But here’s the thing: every crime comes with a punishment, and once someone admits their fault, apologizes, and serves their punishment, shouldn’t that be the end of it?

Dragging them through the mud over and over doesn’t help anyone.

As they say: “If we believe in justice, then we also have to believe in redemption.”
bro, there is a line that you dont cross and in cricket that line is fixing. In sports in general, once you start fixing games you can never come back from it, its a big nono.

Its like how in a relationship you dont go around forgiving a cheat spouse.

His fans try to big him up and they need to be reminded every now and than that the guy is a criminal and no one wants to hear about him. He has no respect left.

In Indian cricket post the 2000 fixing scandal, there were a few players who were not explicitly discovered to be part of the affair, but had strong rumours about them. They were never picked.

The same should have happened with Amir after his ban. Not selecting him is not a punishment. After all, a number of batsmen and bowlers are selected and de-selected in teams across the world. Few of them receive explanations.

I understand. However, there is an appropriate punishment for an act. After punishment is done, one must be forgiven.
 
I don’t hate Amir for fixing. I know he was young and foolish. I just think any fixer shouldn’t have played international cricket again in order to deter fixing and keep our cricket as corrupt free as possible. Amir’s return after fixing gave hope to every fixer when they got caught. And we still had many fixers after him. Which kind of points to the fact the deterrent isn’t strong enough right now.

Having said the sad thing is I think Amir a few years older, with a PSL place earning decent money wouldn’t have fixed. It wouldn’t be worth it. But at that age coming from nothing, you can be swayed. Butt was always in and out the team, asif was out of the team for drug bans and other reasons, without lucrative league contracts. They weren’t in the same position.

Sharjeel was the worst fixer out of them. Already warned about fixing after the trio. Did it an older age, playing international cricket, with a PSL contract having already pretty much owing Islamabad for catapulting him to internationals. Then had the nerve to fix next season. And then gets banned for even less time than Amir.

But yeah Amir’s had a decent career. Last fast bowler before him who had an arguably better career is Gul. Before that Akhtar. Since Amir it’s Shaheen (or at least will be). So even with the vast missing out on potential, he’s had a more successful career than the vast majority of Pakistani pacers.
 
There you go, you hit the nail right on the head. Get such players in the Pak team and we can talk about slow Power Plays.

Until then it's a non issue.

The real problem, which you always ignore, is the lack of reliable power hitters in the middle and Pak being prone to collapses.

We scored 24 runs off the 17th over (Rizwan contributed 15 and hit 2 sixes) and he scored 12 off the 19th. We had momentum. If he had someone to support him, we could've won. Instead we gave 3 wickets to George Lind as if he's the 2nd coming of Imran Tahir.

Also we had a better PP than SA. 55/1 vs 43/3 yet they still won, so there goes your argument that matches are won in the PP.
Anyway to respond to your above quote. Even neutral fans were critiquing and talking about how rubbish that innings was.

74 of 62 means the entire team has to chase 109 of 58. Plain and simple. Shortening it down to 36 of 18, where 12 runs an over is required meaning 2 runs per ball and given how slow rizzu was playing to begin with made it an impossible situation.

This 36 of 18 scenario assumes

A) That 12 rr is easy

B) That rizzu was willing to bat at 12 RR.

C) The batter at the other end can go at 2
18 to 24RR assuming rizzu doesn't pull his weight which he wasnt doing anyway.

what??

The powerplay for Pakistan is not an issue until we don’t have Miller and Tim David playing for Pakistan?

How does Scotland, Ireland, USA, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Netherlands have a better powerplay approach to Pakistan without Tim David and Miller playing for them???
 
Amir made a mistake and should be forgiven however after his Ban he had 1 or 2 great spells but that doesnt mean hes a legend.
 
36 Tests 119 Wickets @ 30½, nothing as legendary and with stains of spot fixing, we can conclude it's a failed career

A bowling average higher than Salman Butt's batting average, imagine.

Can you show me an instance where any of those teams scored 66/1 against a top side?
