So 32 year old Abid Ali is Babar's replacement? Can he average 50+ at 85 strike rate?
He does better check his stats
Mind boggling how Babar can be labelled selfish. Cry when he does not score runs & cry when he does. What more so you want from him?? He aint not Buttler. This is he’s game.
Pak fans deserve the likes of Malik & Shehzad.
Bring his replacement first.
the fact is England's bowlers ARE VERY average.!
For that babar needs to be dropped for 10-15 matches to give a fair chance to any of Saud,Abid or even Haris at 3,but your team managment aren't willing to do that , they didn't do that though they should have done it year and half ago to try out other players. But as Babar is untouchable,every one's favourite ,has good relations with influential people like Ramiz and Mickey he can't be dropped even if team lose 10 consecutive matches ...
Maybe Babar could have batted a few balls faster but by in large it was a good innings that set up a good total for us. He played well..
The wrist slitters and "Pakistanis" are out in force now.
Babar gets a century with a sr above 100 and they want 300 at a sr of 500.
Bravo folks
Thats not how it works. You dont drop performing players like that. They can only be replaced when there are better performing players in domstic cricket. Who in domestic LA cricket plays better than Babar in terms of average, strike rate and technique to cope with international class bowlers? Is there an answer to this question?
this is the same ground where 400 are scored multiple times on yearly basis in county and Int matches, here player score 100s with a strike rate of 140... yet you are here and trying to defend the undefendable. Open your eyes
What's his technique? He can't even play spin well, he was even struggling denly ..didn't you see that? He struggles with the moving ball, on flattest pitches he plays with a SR of 90-100 when worldclass batters do better than that.. how many players have you tried at 3 since 2015? 2015 was when conditions really started to favour the batsmen and from then on it has become really easy to score runs...you never gave any player a proper chance, Saud has been scoring runs in domestic in both formats has better stats than babar, but he is not even being picked..so is it fair? We are made to believe that babar is worldclass and our best batsman so other players should never be given a chance how is it fair? why Saud, despite better FC/LIST A record can't get into the Pak side? Why Abid cannot be tried as an opener or even at 3 despite performing for years where babar actually failed. Babar's FC record is worse than all of these players yet he is automatic selection in test and his dots ball issue,slow SR issue get ignored in ODIs all the time...is it really fair to treat players differently? There is not a single match winning knock you can mention which babar played against top 6-7 sides in his 4 years..yet he is our best bat? Strange

400 or more has only been scored twice here, Pakistan have the second highest score by a non English team on this ground.
Babar Azam has a sr of 95 or so on this ground, equalling the same number of centuries as Morgan and Root and more than Buttler and Roy.
I think if you stopped lying and actually watched the game, you wouldn't pots such rubbish.
400 has only been scored twice? How many times do you want it to be scored before you acknowledge today was below par again
If the last 2 games before this werent a good guide of what kind of total shouldve been put up then im afraid nothing will convince some
No sane person wants babar out But the fact is he shouldve known when he came in that he probably needs to show urgency from ball one thats he need to go at a strike rate of 125 today to get to that 375-400 and he didnt even try Thats the worrying aspect that hes not willing to push himself and improve
Nobody minds losing but when the cricket is lazy and lethargic When theres a lack of intent and fielders arent put under pressure then fans will have a go

Stop crying man
Is there a replacement for Babar?
three county teams have scored 400 this year alone in trent bridge,lol.
hahahha
so county teams are representative of international cricket now?
Can you show me how many away sides have scored more runs than Pakistan? And how many batsmen have scored centuries at a sr 140?
This is the 3rd time of asking![]()
From 80 off 78, Babar went to 97 off 103 before hitting a four to complete his hundred. 17 off 25 balls at that stage is not acceptable for a set batsman. Throughout that period, he only got singles.

If only there was some merit or criteria set for becoming an expert and start speaking things on TV. Personal vendettas and supporting certain groups is all the so called cricket experts and analysts do on TV shows now a days with very few neutral and unbiased experts around.

The funny thing is that a large portion of Pakistanis actually believe everything that some of these experts say. If one of them was to say Shoaib Akhtar should make a comeback as a batsman, thousands of people would seriously think this was right and campaign for it.
Peculiar innings from Babar today for Karachi vs Islamabad.
Was 24 (14) in the powerplay while Sharjeel was really struggling for any kind of timing.
After that, he really slowed down as Sharjeel took off, knocking it around playing the anchor role.
As the innings was coming to a close he really tried to ramp it up, and capitalise on the platform he had set. But he was finding it extremely difficult to do so, missing out on many full tosses and was visibly very frustrated with how it was going. He then seemingly ran himself out for the betterment of the team in the 2nd last over after getting dropped on the boundary.
He only hit 2 boundaries in his last 40 balls, and finished on 62 from 54 with an S/R of 115. Something to work on for him in T20s?
He isn't selfish, he simply can't hit
Very strange innings.
Started brilliantly and then just fell away.
Win or lose - a strike-rate of 114 was abysmal.

All big innings he played and Pak won show he can play winning knocks, it's been often just him. Just because recently he is not quite in his groove yet does not mean anything wrong with his mentality. You can say he needs to improve his big hitting.On the flattest wicket in PSL it really was abysmal.
I'm afraid to say that I don't think he has the mentality to play match winning knocks.
I look at Rizwan who is a lesser player but possesses elite mentality that Babar is devoid of.

He’s not selfish. He just doesn’t have the ability to bat at the gear the elite LO players can. Our fans really need to learn the difference. Some players just don’t have the ability to switch gears. Honestly if you think that is selfish, you just lack understanding. No player wants to be not out playing at a low strike rate as they will be out of the team eventually lol.
Could not have said any better. I simply think Babar - at this stage of his career - has not evolved techniques to switch gears to perk up the run rate. He is the sort of batsman around whom you need really big hitters shooting off around him.

The issue is that people have not realized that it's better to get out going for sixes in a T20 than stay in with the possiblity that you accelerate later Because if you don't succeed doing the latter you've played a match losing innings, i.e. 14(12) is better than 64(52)....People like Babar, Kohli, etc. don't realize this because they're applying ODI strategy to T20s. When it works it looks good, but when it doesn't it can lose the game.
Pretty much this.
He is already 26 years old, at his age each of the fab 4 had at least one breakout test series and multiple LOI heroics. Pak fans should just accept that he is very good but tiers below the likes of Kohli, Root, Warner etc.
Interesting you havent mentioned smith and Williamson
Let's not club them together, there is a massive skill gap. At Babar's age Kohli single handedly took us to WT20 Semis. Show me one of his innings where he faced 50+ balls and scored at a SR of 110-115 batting first? Dude averages 50+ at 138 which is an insane stat. One of the best T20 players ever.

In ODIs, IMO Kohli is again the best, followed by Root, followed by Rohit Sharma, followed by Williamson. I'd put Babar in a separate category, with the likes of KL Rahul, Shai Hope, perhaps Rishabh Pant, Labuschagne, Shreyas Iyer, and a few others as the ones to look out for in the next 3-4 years where some of these guys will reach their peaks.
Do I need to? I thought this is common knowledge and I didn't have to name each and every one of them format-wise.
