Proud moment for all his fans.Babar Azam has broken Virat Kohli’s record to become the fastest batter to score 30 List-A centuries. Babar Azam achieved this milestone during the Champions One-Day Cup 2024 match against the Dolphins , where he scored a commanding century, silencing his critics and reaffirming his status as one of the premier batsmen in the world.
Because Babar Azam has a lot more credit in the bank than both Imam and Sarfraz for what he did prior to the last 8 matches, it is not that hard to understand.In last 8 test matches ... Imam and Sarfraz bat better than Babar but Babar is still playing but both Imam and Sarfraz are dropped.

Life comes at you fast, and you might have to eat your words sooner than you think.This player will disappear only to turn up vs Nepal.
I would be ecstatic if this player suddenly became next coming of Ponting even.Life comes at you fast, and you might have to eat your words sooner than you think.
Zindabad, leave it to the Asian Bradman to speak the truthZaheer Abbas speaking during an interview:
"Babar Azam should be dropped from the team. If he’s not scoring runs, because if he’s our main batsman and he’s out of form, he should be out of the team."
When asked about the Virat Kohli vs Babar Azam comparison:
"Yeh fizool ki baatein hai."
But what about Shan Masood? why is he immune of any scrutiny. Shan needs to go first before anyone is dropped for performance.Zindabad, leave it to the Asian Bradman to speak the truth
When was he immune to my wrath?But what about Shan Masood? why is he immune of any scrutiny. Shan needs to go first before anyone is dropped for performance.
Many of these headline grabbing former greats like Zaheer Abbas, often seem to be bereft of what's going on in Pakistan cricket. He wants to drop Babar but what about others? He obviously hasn't checked who else is in the team for a free lunch.When was he immune to my wrath?
same goes to Abdullah Shafique and kaptaan himself.. it was bad to remove Babar as Test captain for his bad performance in LOIs ... also when he just won an away tour to Srilanka 2-0.. he should have been persisted with.. now they have a captain who cant score a century even against Bangladesh at home to improve his test record..In last 8 test matches ... Imam and Sarfraz bat better than Babar but Babar is still playing but both Imam and Sarfraz are dropped.

Why would an Aussie take such decision on Babar?I think we should send Babar to Zimbabwe
Idk, why would an indian take Shan as his pfpWhy would an Aussie take such decision on Babar?
196 against Australia? 161 v NZ? 136 v Eng?Most Overhyped Test player of this decade
He has not play any meaningful knock in his test career so far.

Use your brain for once atleast .What does starc, Lyon, Hazlewood have anything to do with this list? Where's bumrah as a batter on this list?
Well it's pathetic to see Babar will tail enders. Disgraceful. But I hope he tops the list soonUse your mind for once atleast .
These are innings without any 50 in test cricket from 2023 onwards
you are missing the point. Bumrah probably did not bat that many innings continuously since 2023. Real point is Babar is surrounded by bowlers.What does starc, Lyon, Hazlewood have anything to do with this list? Where's bumrah as a batter on this list?
This is a hilarious stat. It reminds me of a saying "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king"batters without 50s in Test -

@Devadwal I agree with the both of you. Babar being next to tail enders is hilariousyou are missing the point. Bumrah probably did not bat that many innings continuously since 2023. Real point is Babar is surrounded by bowlers.
Lean patch is understandable but he is not great either at any point of his test careerSome Pak fans need to go easy on Babar. He us going through a proper lean patch but he will be back. Maybe he is going through stuffs mentally, who knows. I believe he is an important part of Pak batting line up, averaging near mid-40s, is very good for middle order. Funny thing is if had scored ton against Bd and maybe won or drew the first test, the same people that are criticising him now, would’ve said ‘it’s only against BD’.
This lean patch is ongoing for 2+ nearly 3 years nowSome Pak fans need to go easy on Babar. He us going through a proper lean patch but he will be back. Maybe he is going through stuffs mentally, who knows. I believe he is an important part of Pak batting line up, averaging near mid-40s, is very good for middle order.

He hasn’t been great in test cricket thus far in his test career. Currently averaging near mid 40s is what maybe his test level, but its good for middle order. Maybe some people need to accept that and not expect him to get near or go above 50 in test average, quickly. He capable of getting the average up to 46-48 if he has an excellent consistent period but I feel he will finish his test career in around this current test average 43-46.Lean patch is understandable but he is not great either at any point of his test career
"It is only against BD" argument works only when you beat BD or atleast draw with BD not when you lose.Some Pak fans need to go easy on Babar. He us going through a proper lean patch but he will be back. Maybe he is going through stuffs mentally, who knows.

Wait 4 more years. According to Mamoon, Babar will hit his peak after 34.Lean patch is understandable but he is not great either at any point of his test career
Agreed, he is neither bad nor good. He will score runs after his lean patch; Pak fans just need to be patient.He hasn’t been great in test cricket thus far in his test career. Currently averaging near mid 40s is what maybe his test level, but its good for middle order. Maybe some people need to accept that and not expect him to get near or go above 50 in test average, quickly. He capable of getting the average up to 46-48 if he has an excellent consistent period but I feel he will finish his test career in around this current test average 43-46.
Babar cheerleaders are biggest enemy of him .they hype a nothing cricketer too much.Wait 4 more years. According to Mamoon, Babar will hit his peak after 34.
because he is the most courageous cricketIdk, why would an indian take Shan as his pfp
Why would a Bangladeshi Canadian be a cheerleader for Australia?Idk, why would an indian take Shan as his pfp
Babar tried to invest in a cake bakery, Azam Khan beat him to the punchBabar should invest in a cake bakery
Why would a Bangladeshi Canadian be a cheerleader for Australia?
Probably enjoying the game, if we take things a face value
Too much credit given for yaari dosti group, now he's bankrupt...in cricketing terms offcouseBabar tried to invest in a cake bakery, Azam Khan beat him to the punch
Mate he was always an overrated cricketer.Too much credit given for yaari dosti group, now he's bankrupt...in cricketing terms offcouse

Rizwan has his golden opportunity tmr. All woakes needs to do is bowl the same delivery to rizwan, Rizzu can't play that strokeBabar and Rizwan have the same average now in Test cricket
This is what happens when you cling too close to mediocrity
These Saya boys have sworn, taken a blood oath to bring Pakistan cricket down its knees.Rizwan has his golden opportunity tmr. All woakes needs to do is bowl the same delivery to rizwan, Rizzu can't play that stroke
Naseem will fall very early.These Saya boys have sworn, taken a blood oath to bring Pakistan cricket down its knees.
Agha ki majaal ke woh Sir Rizzu Bradman Symonds se pehle aye?Naseem will fall very early.
See this was the thing that I was talking about.
Rizwan bats at no 6 or no 7 in test depending on Pakistan's night watch man habits.
A player at said number needs to know how to play with the tail to survive and he doesn't.
He'll cause a collapse if saud and Agha don't kick off, that is assuming he himself doesn't kick the bucket.
Or maybe he isn't scared of Saya Boys and they are on the same page?Mohsin Naqvi can fearlessly go after Pakistan's most popular leader IK and political party PTI but is scared to take on the Saya Boys i.e. Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen, Shadab, Rauf. Tells you everything wrong about the country.
I don't think it's as simple a averaging 45 or 50.He hasn’t been great in test cricket thus far in his test career. Currently averaging near mid 40s is what maybe his test level, but its good for middle order. Maybe some people need to accept that and not expect him to get near or go above 50 in test average, quickly. He capable of getting the average up to 46-48 if he has an excellent consistent period but I feel he will finish his test career in around this current test average 43-46.
In champions one day cup he casually dismantled crap bowling. So he clearly didn't have mental problems their.Bobzys problems atm are mental. I would suggest him to try and enjoy the game and don't put too much pressure on himself.
Pick the bat for the love of the game like you did when you were a small kind and play with same freedom and joy. Nothing to lose bro
Whenever I hear the word "Roti" so Faheem Ashraf and Hassan Ali always come to mind as the prime members of the "roti gang"King doesn’t care bruv
Where is the Roti at tonight?
I hope you now know that me asking for the drop of Babar wasn't out of malice. I've been watching his career trajectory since 2022Time to drop him from the Test team. He needs to be benched asap. He is worse than a atail-ender atm. SHould work on his batting before he plays another international game.
Selection has to be on merit.In last 8 test matches ... Imam and Sarfraz bat better than Babar but Babar is still playing but both Imam and Sarfraz are dropped.

Correct. First of all he is not a great player. He has no great match winning performances of note. He has been sold as great through PR hype.Why should we go easy on him? He is an A grade centrally contracted player, he has to justify his price tag. All great players go through bad patches but they also have the mental resilience and resolve to get out of it, the fact after failing for 10-15 innings plus, you are coming out to bat on a flat placid wicket like a nervous wreck and are unable to cash in by playing your natural game eventually reveals you don't have the mental toughness needed for international cricket.
There should be no reputation unless you score big match winning 100s outside Asia. People were daft enough (including myself) to assign him a reputation when he is not that guy.The fact he hasn't been dropped is criminal. For how long will you keep playing on reputation. There has to be accountability after a point
Apprantly he's in the class of legends and entering his peak according to a certain someoneThe fact he hasn't been dropped is criminal. For how long will you keep playing on reputation. There has to be accountability after a point
