The match was played in Dubai, not in Sri Lanka. The conditions in Dubai favor the chasing team. It's worth noting that two players faced almost two thirds of the total balls and scored approximately half of the runs. While you are criticizing others who had no choice but to go for boundries from the first ball of their innings?
Actually India requires Pant and India requires Rizwan - to have the best shot at winning.
No, I feel this way because I factually know that Healy didn't act like a clown faking injuries, blocking side screens and making nonsense interviews.
Just revisited the score card.
Wow
This is the most skewed piece of reality and a total fabrication of a lie that I have seen, It is an insult to those who saw the match live.
More nonsense
Absolutely not, if I was to actually assign proper percentages it would be
Good example. Game was finished by middle order and the rrr did get a little out of hand there also.
I saw the entire asia cup final live, that was the day I started hating rizwam and chacha as before 2022 I use to back them and thought twitter was insane.
Wah bhai, salute. You are giving 60% blame to 2 batsmen when 9 other bats failed or atleast 5 other main bats, bowlers and team management let the game slip away after having opposition on the ropes at 58-5? So in your world getting out for a duck is better than doing something. Understood.
not talking about alternatives, it was said and not my words, Rizwaan is playing with out of form or mediocre players nwjilst Pant plays with GOATS...the inference being Rizwans runs count for more...
100% when those 2 batters expect the rest of the middle order to chase 60 of 23? Don't be a hypocrite and change narratives. Only babar is to be blamed for throwing his early wicket away and ig fakhar for failing straight after.
Who gets a higher percentage of blame for Pakistan not scoring 6 off 4 balls in Joburg 2007? Misbah who was facing Joginder Sharma for those runs needed or Afridi for getting out for a 0(1) in the same match?
His point would only be valid if rizwan wasn't a God damn opener and chacha didn't get his darling wish to finally bat at no 4 according to @gazza619 as chavha should be a no 4.
Maybe I am approaching this the wrong way, let me try this way, if one team is 58-5 and the other team struggles to get to 150, maybe it was not the easiest pitch. Only 1 guy played a freak innings, so maybe 170 was over- par, who gets the blame then? As far as I remember those weren’t exactly Bangalore type pitches in that tournament, were they?
That was a classical KPK choke job. They won’t like to hear it. But it’s the truth, these guys have been bottling everything in Pakistan cricket too recently
A good example would be Afghanistan vs Australia in worldcup. Maxwell played a freak innings kind of like Rajapaksa at a much larger scale, Aussie line up flopped, Afghan put a par score. No one cares they ran through the top order of Aussies, it was pedestrian bowling and terrible captaincy. This game was more or less in the same bracket, difference is weaker team lost in this case of Aus vs Afg
Bro a lot of people are forgetting Rizwan’s earlier typical bongi where he was dropped by Dube at fine leg.
You are approaching it the wrong way because you have closed out your mind towards understanding how the game works.
Rizwan didn't play a freak innings. A freak innings is what Pant played on a minefield pitch ensuring his 50 gets India to an above par total on a pitch where 110 is par. A freak innings qith what Maxwell played against afghanistan.
He hasn't closed his mind, he's changing the narrative altogether to avoid blame on rizwan.
Oh wait did I miss something, so Rizwan’s 55 off 49 (it was 49 off 47 until he slog swept Hasaranga for a six the ball before) was a freak T20 openers innings according to local dada?
The target was 66 of 25 and rizzu was offstrike. He came on strike on the 16th, He struck a 6, making the target 60 of 24 and then got out next delivery
He misunderstood me. I said Rajapaksa played a freak innings and came out of syllabus to take the game away.It happens.
Rizwan is a DRS expert tooThe target was 66 of 25 and rizzu was offstrike. He came on strike on the 16th, He struck a 6, making the target 60 of 24 and then got out next delivery
Hasanranga who can't even bat hit 36 of 21, so no the pitch wasn't difficult. Tail enders regardless of bowling quality don't hit 36 of 21.
The other thing being SRT has often been accused by Pakistanis ( east and West) of being a boring accumulator and stat padder, yet when it comes to Rizwan some biased posters post Rizwans runs and averages to bolster their case against Pant, which leaves the door open for case of stat
Hawk eye vision for DRS, just like the way he sees a bird flapping it’s wings and stops a fast bowler 95% into his action and run up
Ok see you should be careful when defending someone like Rizwan…it just opens up doors for very comical misunderstandings…nothing good will come out of defending comedy as if your life depends on it.
And Viv Richards in staring
Rizwan is Pakistan’s best allrounder currently. Prove me with facts not your gut feeling that I am wrong.
Joaquin Pheonix in acting
Misbah is responsible for his own career. Sarfaraz is responsible for his own career. Rizzu is responsible for his own.
Misbah is fully a part of destroying Sarfaraz’s career and making Rizwan’s career. Don’t try to deny this.
Can you prove this?
Can you deny this with proof?
No it’s not. You are the one who is denying the truth. The onus is on you to open your eyes towards reality. I doubt you will ever btw
Yes, because he isn't an allrounder at all
.
If someone is magnificent in two facets of the game they are on allrounder, my friend.Yes, because he isn't an allrounder at all
You realise a keeper bat does not classify as an allrounder?
Rizwan is magnificent in neither
Who is in Pakistan team then?
Besides Fakhar, no one.
What is Fakhar’s second facet?
Theirs no such thing as wicket keeper allrounder and taking the definition of allrounder from Wikipedia does zilch.
Its ok, everytime a PCT player is hyped against an ICT player we know how it ends
Let’s start comparing Rizwan to Botham, Flintoff, Kallis and Stokes now shall we?
India would achieve the same in white ball cricket because Dhoni’s role was not critical. He was just glorified by the media.
You havent answered my question though. Please enlighten me how Fakhar is an allrounder.
It is not about comparison. I hate all comparison threads
He surely was one of the biggest culprits and so was Fakhar. They both perished while going for glory shots even though the pitch was not suitable for such strokeplay and they witnessed the Indian batsmen perishing in similar fashion.
Fakhar bowled in CT 2017 so he's an allrounder.
Now it’s not about comparison? You said Rizwan is an all-rounder because he has two facets to his game…
Like I said comparing players specially from different eras is low IQ stuff and I dont want to waste my energy.
Ok you winFakhar bowled in CT 2017 so he's an allrounder.
Saud can bowl so he's an allrounder
Babar cam also bowl so he's an allrounder, Kohli has bowled in 2012 so he's an allrounder
Why are you being so sarcastic? Your idea of an allrounder is that they need to just have 2 facets of the game and that their skill is totally irrelevant correct?Ok you win
But you called Rizwan our Healy? So why don’t you act on what you preach first?
The captain and the bowling attack should be held accountable for Sri Lanka's recovery in that match. However, it's important to recognize that Sri Lanka was able to reach 170 due to their intent to score. Why couldn't Rizwan and Iftikhar show intent like Bhanuka and Hasaranga?
I never said Pant was not a fantastic player, I just think Rizwan is better. Pant's style of batting is both his biggest strength and his biggest weakness. As many great knocks as he has played, I have seen plenty of times when he has thrown his wicket away at crucial junctures by batting brainlessly.
Stoinis + Wade scored 81 runs in 48 balls in the match and Aus won with 6 ball left. so had these two scored 81 off 54 balls, they would have won. This implies Australia finishers needed to score 9 rpo in that match. Whereas in the Asia Cup final, Pak finishers had to get 15 rpo. The big difference in both the chases were the knocks of Warner (49 off 30) and Rizwan (55 off 49).
I am not a custodian of Indian cricket. I did my best to not allow Pakistan cricket and it’s legacy to be tarnished with false Rizwan propaganda. I will continue in my fight to make sure false narratives are not normalised
Actually, both are pretty much in the same league as Pant. Stats are similar. In fact Butler's is not impressive at all. Especially since his test cricket career is done and dusted.
