Frustration and denial in accepting that Pakistan just does not have the talent to play modern day cricket.
Who did Rizwan prove wrong? He’s been proving his critics right again and again. He’s useless
The point is to accept your shortcomings and build a team around your strengths. Babar and Rizwan are your top batsmen in T20 cricket, and while they are no match for the other top-orders in world cricket, they have produced results.
You do realise we play more than one batter in the line up.
One of the worst posts I've ever seen on PP!!
Wonderful. One win against Afghanistan is cause for celebration of our talent now, seeing as how the first two games were so one-sided. The batting collapsed under pressure in two consecutive games.
The point is having patience, select the players who are capable and give them a run in the side.
Play youngsters where spots are open, don't disrupt something that had an established base. We have always had issues with Number 4, 5 and 6, so why are you playing four openers in the team and breaking up a partnership that has scored runs for Pakistan?
That s 9 overs nearly half the innings for other batters to score.
If they lasted and were scoring big then Rizwan would not even had that much balls to face.
First of all Riz and Babar were not openers we made them openers and gave them the role in which they performed.
It was 90 off 63 what more can you ask for.
A clone of Rizwan would Pakistan at 180.
Rizwan and Babar are very good batsmen who are good enough to bat anywhere in the top order, but their maximum benefit is when they open for Pakistan and make sure we have a decent base to launch from.
We want our Finn Allen, but Finn Allen has 12 failures in the last 20 internationals, and averages 26. And he is an established cricketer.
180 on that wicket was more than enough. Fakhar Sahibzada and Ifti made 20 off 32. That was the only thing stopping us getting to 180.
Where do all the other guys also come into the equation. Do Riz and Babar owe it to all other batsman. This is International cricket and ultimately everyone has to perform.
Something you are favorites can't even score in a dead rubbers. Babar and rizwan are the best batters in Pakistan by a country mile.
I still think Ifti in the WI conditions will do a decent job, both with bat and ball.
Look up SR in T20s of Babar, Rizwan, Saim, Haris. You will have your answer
its better to go back with Babar Rizwan opening combo atleast they both were giving us consistent starts
Not so quickly. It will give a chance to others and force these guys to improve. Generally they were good at chasing totals but found setting targets short by roughly 20 runs( conditions dependent)
So what about the number 3 position that you have actually solved with Babar?
lets try fakhar or Sahibzada Farhan at No.3 position... this saim rizwan duo is a total failure
Oh yar mere bhai
Let's try Sahibzada at today. If he succeeds then we could shuffle squad.
Then Fakhar with Sahibzada Farhan as openers could do the trick because Fakhar is totally useless at the No. 4 position and Farhan could only perform as an opener. Let's try Saim Ayub at No. 4.
That’s cricket now? Don’t have a good no.3?
your so called power hitters are all big flop.
Fakhar was always useless -- he plays couple of good innings and this costs us a lot -- Pakistani fans are also mediocre like Pakistan team ---
Accomplishments?
Your acting like pakistan have won to many tournaments.
No, everyone opposing him are acting like Pakistan won many tournaments under Babar and Rizwan monopoly
. Such seniors are curse for a team
Bro but couldn’t you see they have to bat like they do otherwise we won’t reach 100?
and the world class batsman totally failed -- natural position unnatural position, these are all excuses --
We need to cash in on the PP with most T20s being good batting wickets unlike todays used wicket which is why Riz with Saim opening follwed by Babar and Fakhar is what the management will probably go with.
No substance to your argument Doc.
Yes, we have to look beyond these two.
lol well no one scored 50 last game. So you can say the same we won last game when Fakhar didn’t get a 50.
This. They are sworn enemies of the true brand of Pakistan cricket.
No one scored a 50 in the whole game. Pakistan has won many game with or without their 50s but coming with something like this is just childish.
Riiiight… so he’s a failure because after 4 games in which the team was chasing very steep totals that have rarely been chased on those grounds, he’s a failure.
