Needs to play Odi and tests for that.
fgs move on from them
Beyond that, I think social media training is also essential in this day and age. It reflects poorly when players are reposting cheesy fan edits of themselves or sharing posts highlighting the records they’ve broken.
He needed support. He didn't got throughout the tournament until today.
We shall see, but have to admit even Babar's haters won't call him a hack.
Yeah rest of the batting was completely zero. If they even had a couple of guys averaging 30 in the tournament at a good strike-rate, then you could have gotten somewhere. But the middle-order was an abject failure.
He has worked incredibly hard to get where he is and that is something that absolutely should be appreciated. It is definitely an achievement for a player who plays for a team like Pakistan to have this kind of tournament. I think he may have more runs than the rest of the team combined. Also works hard in the gym, which you need to do if you want to hit sixes in this format.
Which top teams are you talking about genius australia don't even name them they got smashed in Pakistan got humiliated in world cup england well he smashed them as well not sure what's your point what team you want to name then.
Did you watch the match? He must have spent 3-4 balls in the 90s. It wasn't his fault that the clowns on the other end were throwing away their wickets like expired coupons. When he got to 100 there were still two overs remaining. Also not everything has to be compared to India and Indian players. Indian players have the benefit of going through a highly structured and streamlined system that instills professionalism at a very basic level. They also play in the greatest T20 league in the world where they earn to handle high-pressure at a young age. Pakistani players like Farhan have no such luxury. Without Farhan playing this innings Pakistan would have never even had a chance tonight.
Yes, finding gaps are important. Only from today's game I remember at least 5 good shots straight to the fielders. He could easily have made 120 today.
I have heard same kind of defence for Babar earlier only to be exposed after few years. This is absolute flat wicket, however any batsman should take some time to adjust before go for hitting.. According to me Fakhar played a great Innings with 200 strike rate whereas this fellow, on this belter of a pitch and with support of pathetic bowling from srilankan can score 100 with just 166 strike rate. The longest partnership turns out to be a curse, as they were just above 10 runs per over in 17th over and they were aiming for 240 runs which they couldn't accelerate with limited no of balls..Had any one of these gotten out little early it would have given the other batsmen to settle and slog it in the end overs. But these two batsman didn't give much time for others to settle and hence they end up losing wickets in clusters..Moreover don't say about system.. Countries like west Indies without having great system were able to win 2 worldcups..NZ with their limited resources are able to consistently perform well in every ICC tournaments..If you system doesn't work well, thats because your players are part of the crappy system and you should accept that..
Absolutely.
he will not do well against SENAI consistently. He is just starting his career and will get noted going forward. Come back to this thread in few years and see for yourself. He will do fine, but not top class players to worry top teams
He showed difference between PSL and domestic.....
Babar can't tie his shoe laces
You're completely off the ball with your analysis. Both guys played great hands. Fakhar was the more aggressive one but Farhan also batted at a SR of 166, which was very much in line with the requirement of the match, and modern standards. Pakistan should have gotten 30 off the last 2 and if they did they could have ended up with a total in-excess of 230. Comparing Farhan to Babar is a fool's errand because Babar has never played this type of an innings at even 150 SR in a T20 WC, even at his peak.
Yeah he will likely break the record
Captain should have come in himself at 3 with a plan
Unless he fails cheaply he will likely get the record
Problem is that a lot of his shots go straight to the fielders in powerplay even though he belts them pretty hard
so many batting talents ruined this way, props to him for not letting it get to himself and continuing to push forward.
Since Fakhar
Lol wow. At this rate we deserve Shadab and the “fraud” brigade.
He was alright. Pakistan went with 3 specialist batsmen (one of them is useless) Last 5 overs they should have made 65 runs. Whatever Farhan missed Fakhar made up. It allowed Fakhar to go. As a pair they did their job. BUt i do see your point. Many pak fans are surprisingly raising this pointin various social media avenues. But that is not where they lost. I heard this in one of the show, unlike say Rohit sharma who doesn't use muscles to hit the balls , Farhan is using every single nerve in his body to power the ball. Over a period you get tired. He ran a lot of twos as well.Power players lose their steam like this. They need soeone to carry on the good work
With all due respect there are other young fc performers who deserve chance ahead of him in Test Cricket.
If you’re going to be negative against the best Pakistani player, at least use your brain.
I understand your emotion but I would like you to wait and watch next few years to understand the reality. Till then you keep making documentaries and feature films on him..I rate Shanakas and Fakhar Innings much higher than his..
What happens in the next few years doesn’t matter and doesn’t discount his performances. You’re basically undermining his performance based on your “feeling” of him declining in future. Lol
My analysis is after seeing all his performance and its impact on the team..I never said he didn't perform, but his performance was all against weaker bowling sides. Also, post powerplay his strike rates crashes down..No proper rotation of strikes, many mishits initially to survive, No doubling of the strike rates in death overs, more selfish when nearing the milestones..these are not the trait of modern T20 players..in yesterday's match also, Srilanka almost scored the same no of runs, even when their batsmen didn't try to win on their first 10 overs..Earlier Babar did the same gimmick and this Farhan is just an upgraded version of him..
He has to work on his dot ball issues
So what’s your point then? He should be discarded and replaced by someone more “selfless”?
