PCB are masters of providing the most boring, bland, pathetic brand of cricket in any format!

Let’s always aim to bowl first and bore the hell out of spectators!
 
Farhan is off the hook....for now.

But I still believe there are one of two many passengers in this team and I've got my eyes on them.
 
Enough . Babar should open so we get him in good form for World Cup
He will likely do that in the Big Bash. Whoever signed him must have been told the deal includes him as the guaranteed opener.

Hesson will not be opening with him. They would rather have Fakhar, Saim and Farhan in form because they would literally win games with their bat if they get going.
 
I'm gonna be keeping a close eye on Agha and Usman this game. I know Usman played decent against Zimbabwe in the first game but I want to see if he can be consistent. The less said about Agha the better.

Both will be on my radar today.

Absolutely no room for passengers in this team going into 2026!

Salman will be out soon.... wait for it
 
What has Usman done wrong now? You wanted a sensible keeper who puts a price on his wicket. You didn’t want a guy like Harris. So what exactly has Usman done wrong so far?
Salman is not deserving. you accept it????
 
A person who can't fault Salman in t20 team, has views that YK was easing into Ponting role for Pakistan in Odis cannot be taken seriously

I never ask for validation of my views.

A person who cannot differentiate between cricket and football as a sport cannot validate my views anyways.
 
Perfect combination for the opposition more likely this team is winning nothing with babar salman etc
Trust me Zahid bhai it wasn’t nearly as bad until Babar returned

Salman on his own we can afford as he’s still a good captain and won’t disrupt the team balance

Babar is a BIG RED FLAG. He’s a proven failure!
 
IMO, Hesson, Agha and Aqib signed a death warrant agreeing to have Babar return.

Ya Allah, help Pakistan!

How will he not disturb the balance when he comes out to bat at number while fakhar is warming the bench,.

Bro.....stop this... you cannot defend this guy... You are exposing yourself only....Move on

He didn’t once bat ahead of Fakhar when Babar was booted out of the side.

You know it as well. All of this nonsense is happening because they have added the parchi Babar Azam in the side.

Meri jaan, the only guy who can fix this is Babar himself.

For once, he has to realise he isn’t up to the mark and is a major liability at least in this format. He knows it himself that his only way to play is through PR. He will get preferential treatment one way or another.

He himself can save the campaign by doing the right thing and stepping away. He should tell the fans that he completely believes he is setting the team back! It’s the right thing to do! It’s the only way then that the PR agencies and deluded fans will ease down and let Hesson and Co. To do their thing without any external pressure!

The he batted ahead of your other hero Haris as well and then he cried in pressers that haris batted out of number

Salman bhai never let him do that actually... He actually discarded him at number 6-7-8 in 1 game... I know you remember that but supporting mediorcity has been your goal now
 
This will never happen he's to selfish Henson hands are tied with external pressure he's just going along with the flow otherwise he will face the same fate as other coaches
 
If Babar is a true friend of Agha as his missus claims,

Then Babar should do what a friend does in this situation; Step aside.

Agha will do ok as a skipper. He will come through for Pakistan in crunch situations in the middle if he isn’t hampered with Babar. We need Agha the skipper more than we need Babar the batsman.

Do what’s right pal. Do it for once in your life. Redeem yourself! You backstabbed Shaheen. You destroyed the careers of so many proper T20 players because of your selfishness. For once pal, let it go!
 
Baqi Aap sab siyane ho.

So, we can only have one of the two really.

I’ll take the captain who gels together the team instead of the fake king who can only do what’s best for himself.

Thanks.
Hahaha.... bro... this is funny... You are making comments that just expose the fake narrative you built here

thanks

There is ALWAYS, and I mean always a sense of the sad reality to these comments by me.

You should know by now. Time has always been my friend.
 
I think we discarded hassan nawaz unfairly he was made to bat like a yoyo also irfan khan niazi has disappeared completely I thought he had decent game for lower formats we are couple of batsmen short of a decent team
 
Things I really want to see today:

1) If Pak win the toss they HAVE TO bat first. The team clearly hasn’t had enough recent practice in setting targets.

2) Waz Jr should get the rest of the tournament and be tried in his middle over/ death over role. He’s currently the bowler that most hurries opposition batsmen.

3) Need to see Hasan Nawaz for these next two games. Help him rebuild his confidence.

4) Want to see some actual intent from ball 1 from Babar. If it can’t happen in an effective dead rubber Vs Zim, it never will.

5) Also want to see Usman start quicker.
 
Toss Update: Pakistan win the toss and will bat first.

Naseem Shah and Usman Tariq in for Pakistan. Abrar Ahmed and Salman Mirza are out. Fakhar remains at No. 6.
 
Pakistan bat salman mirza and abrar out naseem and tariq in why drop salman mirza he needs games under his belt
 
Playing XIs:

Zimbabwe:


Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Sikandar Raza (capt.), Bradley Evans, Brendan Taylor (wk), Tadiwanashe Marumani, Tashinga Musekiwa, Tony Munyonga, Wellington Masakadza, Tinotenda Maposa, Richard Ngarava

Pakistan:

Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Babar Azam, Salman Ali Agha, Usman Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Muhammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Wasim, Naseem Shah, Usman Tariq
 
Ayub is definitely love child of a selector.. so many failures yet is the 1st name in the team.
 
Brad Evans has a lot of potential as a test bowler. Zimbabwe have silently developed a competent test attack in Muzarbani, Evans, & Ngarava.
 
He’s going to get Farhan out

Farhan should be facing maximum deliveries in the powerplay!
