Salman Ali Agha - How do you rate him as T20I captain for Pakistan?

[MenInG]

Ended up on the losing side in the final T20I vs Zimbabwe but did win the series.

How do you rate his performance as captain so far? Is he a viable alternative to the likes of Rizwan etc?

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Playing with him alongside Rizwan and Babar is terrible. Any team needs a hard hitter at that level, not a slow Agha-type tuk-tuk player.

Can't judge captaincy against weaker teams.

 

[Kianig89]

Definitely not the right player to lead t20 side

IDeal T20 pakistan top order is

Azmatullah shafique (whose slip fieidling will be an added bonus)
Rizwan
Babar Azam

Thread is about captaincy.

 

[Kianig89]

He should have bowled the final over today ,knowing they were last two batsmen and the wicket aids spinner add to it our pacers were off color.

All in all he himself is to blame for this defeat

 

[FearlessRoar]

No idea who made this red-ball specialist the white-ball vice-captain

Not highly.

His field placements suck. He's good at bowler rotation only. When it comes to batting, even if he isn't a t20 player, he shpuld be responsible enough to send someone like tayyab tahir ahead of him.

Part of being a good captain is recognising the best batting combination and if he's sending himself > other batters knowing full well he's a liability with the bat then he isn't good.

Only positives are that he was willing to experiment and can rotate bowlers well. But beyond that he's pretty bad as a captain.

 

[m.shah]

He does not deserve place in T20 leave alone captaincy which is equally pathetic just like his batting

very good team. Most of techincally correct and players like Rizwan can come into play when the situation is tough.

 

[SportsWarrior]

He is a poor captain, even if he has won the series. I just saw a bit of highlight and last match pitch seems to have supported spinners. Should have bowled more overs from them. I don' think he has the support or respect of his team mates considering his poor t20 stats

 

[khyberlion]

He shouldn't be in the team.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

He doesn't deserve to be in the T20 squad. I don't know how management decided to make him captain.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

He is a form 47 captain

He doesn't deserve to be in the T20 squad. I don't know how management decided to make him captain.

 

[TeymurBlake]

I've never been convinced he could be a good captain after the Southern Punjab fiasco a couple years ago.

He's a good player however he is yet to convince in T20 cricket.

 

[Mohraheem]

I still rate him as a better player than that pathetic Chacha

 

[gazza619]

Since Pakistan doesnt have many back up options in captaincy, i will continue to invest in Agha for the next 3-4 months.

Personally though i find him very boring. But may be he will come good for us.

I think he isn’t a coward like Babar or Rizwan at least

Guy is a lol T20 batsman but doesn’t take the easy route giving himself 36 free hits with 2 fielders outside to score easy runs. He can easily do what those two frauds do. Instead he played in his position and tried to fight in it, didn’t work and he’s clearly not good enough.

The same can be said for Babar and Rizwan. They are as bad as him

It's why I made the thread.

The original purpose of the thread was why he was moved and reseted for rizwan wanting no 4.

In the world cup 2023 between saud, Agha and rizwan

Saud and Agha should have been prioritised over rizzu

 

[RidiculousMan]

He doesn't fit in T20I format as player. So captaincy is irrelevant

 

[Kianig89]

News surfacing on social media suggests Salman has been removed as vice-captain from ODIs and T20Is.

If it’s true then it’s a very good decision because he doesn’t deserve to be in the team as a player either.
