This is just so embarrassing, especially that whole “just come out” gesture. Like you are good for nothing!

 

[Slim]

Damn bro, its a painful watch esp knowning that Rizwan was just recently the former captain in ODIs. Once Rizwan said to a question: “Joh apnay leye khelay gah ausay Allah zaleel karay gah.”

What happened in BBL is next level zalalat. Babar must be sweating bullets right now.

 

[topspin]

This is just so embarrassing, especially that whole “just come out” gesture. Like you are good for nothing!

We need this in Urdu dub “Rizwan tu nikal ja”.

 

[pakistani pride]

On forums we can take sides.

But in the real world this is an embarrassment not just for Rizwan fans but for us all.

Our players don't get scope to play high competitive leagues. Rizwan arrived with much fanfare but his spell is so dismal it may give BBL a reason to not pick Pakistani players in the future.

Which in the long run should help Pak cricket. There is a thing called working on your game. This something they dont do, as they are lazy. This might make them actually do that!

 

[TheSultan]

Yep Riz and Babar should be replaced by the tailenders pretending to be batters in our u19 team currently.

Who is w00ting for Ahmed Hasan or Ali Baloch in place of Babar Azam in Pak T20 team?

I have no idea where this came from. Are you ok?

 

[Slim]

I have no idea where this came from. Are you ok?

@Muhammad Saad clearly seems very upset and hence this weird outburst.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Maaf hai ussey.

@RizwanT20Champ

I think he’s Indian (or Rizwan himself). That user name is a give away.

Sameer Minhas is probably just as good as those guys already.

 

[hafizexpress]

I'm surprised why he is still selected in the 11. Do they not have a backup WK? Sutherland looked extremely frustrated in the video, making me confused as to how he has persisted with him till now. That frustration was an accumulation of several games not just this

 

[Champ_Pal]

Tilak Varma was also retired out once in an IPL game.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Its not his fault to be fair.

He keeps getting signed up by leagues and the team.

The people signing him up for BBL, Pakistan should get their heads checked.

We already know he will not be able to play at faster rate.

That's his ability.

 

[srh8119]

This saya corporation is the reason for all these third class players and humans to destroy pakistan cricket..
Before they could be third class people but were for the most part meritable enough to play for the international team, but because of this dosti yari, connections and this fake, paid for pr, pakistani team reached depths they hadn't before, in the last 5 years.
İ say, troll and mess with this corporation whereever you can online and offline, declare a vendetta against them and their backed losers in chief, aka rizbabar

 

[gazza619]

What an exaggerated and unnecessary thread lol. Many batters have been tactically retired out in the history of the game. Riz is a team man. Retiring early was a bad move but he did it for the team’s cause

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Gazza bhai he didn't do it. His captain walked onto the pitch and forced him out. This is an embarrassment for the whole nation.

I’d love to be the Aussie muslim attending the mosque where Rizwan is expected to deliver a surmon this week

By the way, who is this Hassan at the other end? Another Pakistani? If yes, he has batted better at 36(23)*

 

[Rana]

Pakistan u19 captain at one point.

 

[sweep_shot]

LOL.

Windies did the same with Roston Chase recently.

It is a tactical decision. I expect teams to use it more frequently moving forward.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

If a message was not send to Rizwan for this before then it was definitely harsh.

As an international player if a domestic captain is marching down the pitch to get me off the pitch. I'm definitely standing my ground. They can decide not to play me but as a player, no way I'm leaving the pitch if I don't want to.

Melbourne Renegades' play-off hopes were hinging heavily on this match, now because of this loss they are hanging on by a thread and in all likeliness will be eliminated. They have every right to retire a player out if he is showing no signs of life like Rizwan was out there. It's about performance, not ego. As an overseas player you have extra pressure to perform and Rizwan so far has probably been the worst batsman in their squad.

I don’t know why they would sign the two chuckle brothers besides humiliating them all over social media, they sure have driven up interest on that front, although the franchises themselves haven’t benefited.

They should have all taken turns beating him up with a bat Shoaib Akhtar style in the dressing room, maybe that would finally teach him

I still can’t believe all this, this is like a second Wrestlemania for me

Rizwan should've stood his ground. He compromised yet again like he did with CT25 squad.

As a batter when you're in the game. You're in the game. Submitting to Sutherland's demand like that is giving your self ego away. Which is a very precious thing to the mental strength of an individual. Psychologically speaking.

Nah man.

He has nothing to fall back on.

Fair enough if he was batting at a 160 sr in the tournament before this.
But he's been crawling along and team moving him up and down the order to try and work around him. This innings was the straw that broke the camels back.

Getting subbed off like that in Cricket is an L that could've and should've been avoided.

As a batter you'd rather be dropped and get disgraced and embarrassed like that.

Was a good time for him to get cramps

 

[Concerned]

Pakistan T20 management should have made a rule when Babar and Rizwan were opening that if they bat 10 overs then one of the batsmen needs to be retired out given then can not accelerate

 

[Sachin fan]

If a message was not send to Rizwan for this before then it was definitely harsh.

Lol, this is why Pakistani players have so much ego over small things. Always ego over professionalism. Such players never reach the height of the true greats.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Love the out-cry on social media

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Oh Rehnde ab.

Admit it you were caught out for having a poor understanding of the game.

I never saw you admitting that Mohd Haris was trash?

On the other hand I have always said that Babar and Rizwan aren’t t20 players but they are still good enough for Pakistan.

They aren’t good enough for even Pakistan as their replacements clearly have the potential to do better.

 

[mon858]

Trying to see why else BBL folks signed up so many pakistan players expecting gold.... maybe due to their performance in the ODI series in 2024 where they beat australia? maybe performance in the Australia t20 world cup?

Rauf has been there a long time and even if he gets tonked gets some wickets, others, especially Rizwan, and to an extent Babar don't make sense for t20...

 

[zahid01]

Joking apart this was not done professionally no need to degrade a player like this he has played few matches for the club they must have realised that he's not upto the t20 standard for an overseas player they should have not selected him for a crucial match

 

[Hawkeye]

Embarassing.

Who signed him up and why? Everyone knows he cannot play fast. If you selected him as an anchor then don’t be surprised when he plays like one.

It’s humiliating for the guy and Pak cricket.

Agha Salman
Rizwan

Guys like these should NOT be given T20 NOCs to play in leagues.

 

[sweep_shot]

Retire out is not humiliating. It is a legitimate dismissal in cricket.

West Indies recently used it for Roston Chase who was struggling and Windies needed to accelerate.

At the end of the day, team comes first.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

@gazza619 @Kianig89 @Raja Ishtiaq @salman24 @Muhammad Saad @Major @Mobashir

Just seen this news on Facebook and immediately came to PP as I knew you would have tagged me

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Rizwan was initially refusing to go off as well

Stop lying..

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Current BBL (this is off social media so needs confirmation).

Rizwan: In 8 BBL innings across last year and this year: 167 runs off 164 balls |SR:101
Dot balls 42%

• Slowest fifty (Babar)
• 2nd Slowest fifty (Babar)
• Lowest Strike rate (Rizwan)
• 3rd lowest Strike Rate (Babar)
• Only player forcefully Retired out (Rizwan)

Horrifying.

 

[Rana]

Stop lying..

What lying?!! Look at the video of the captain and dug out

 

[TeymurBlake]

His team Melbourne Renegades could probably wish they could retire him from the whole tournament forever.

What a foolish decision to bring him in despite his poor SR.

 

[Rana]

@topspin bro Rizwan is on David Warner level now according to this lot

I like how the conversation is about how other batsmen have lost their team games, rather than questioning Rizwan’s prowess as a match-winner.

This is the only way Babar and Rizwan have made their careers, brainwashing an entire generation into thinking others are no better.

Hilarious qasam se.

 

[Varun]

Let's see if this team plays Rizwan in the Starting XI for the next game.

 

[Rana]

Watch from 5 minutes onwards,

RL implying the skipper wouldn’t or might not call a white player back

@topspin @shaz619 @DeadlyVenom @TheSultan @RidiculousMan

 

[Devadwal]

At this point, franchises aren't paying Rizwan and Babar for playing at BBL, they are compensating them for their humiliation everyday.

 

[tiger_khan]

People are concentrating on Rizwan while not paying attention to one thing

Hassan Khan is also a Pakistani. He played the entire innings and played well

It will be fair to say that BBL is the best private T20 league in the world

Hassan can make the cut for a team BBL but can't make the cut of Pak national T20 team

Why?

I think the answer lies in what happened to Rizwan today

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Some of these BBL teams are better than some international sides.

Is it really that far fetched to say that they are good enough to beat the Pakistan t20 team? I don't think it is.

On that basis, I dont understand how this one off incident somehow means that Rizwan should not be our keeper in the national t20 side. I find the whole thing a bit bizarre if I'm being completely honest.

There is not a more political and conniving cricket analyst than RL

He recently had to apologize to the PCB for his fake analysis too

He has developed his analyst career on a pack of lies

The team was absolutely right to pull out Rizwan. He is not a pinch hitter and only 12 balls were left. It has nothing to do with Rizwan's race or religion

RL thinks that all the team managements are conniving like his own personality

I can't stand Abdur Rauf in this video. He's speaking things out of fictitious facts and making judgements on the whim and old data like Rizwan was great as T20 opener (Which was like 2021 when he was good).

 

[TheSultan]

Watch from 5 minutes onwards,

@topspin @shaz619 @DeadlyVenom @TheSultan @RidiculousMan

This is just so dumb - both of them

Raof is arguing “how can you do this to someone who has been an international captain before”? Are these guys right in the head? No one gives a toss if he’s been captain or lassi maker. And as for RL stop playing the race card.

It’s funny watching all this outrage!

There have been other players who have been subbed in other leagues, I definitely know tilak and I think Roston chase too. No one made a big deal of it, you know why? They were actually striking at a respectable rate, not like Rizwan who was pathetic.

The others went off without complaints and not much fuss from the media because until they retired they actually played fairly decent innings. They did their part before that and it was perfectly acceptable to hand over to some fresh legs to come and smash it.

The problem with Rizwan is he actually batted like his usual w”anchor” self, he’s obviously got a reputation of having a poor strike rate. He wasn’t only humiliated by the substitution, he’s been humiliating himself on a regular basis, and this was just the icing on the cake.

If you do not have a complex about your strike rate, it’s no big deal to get subbed. Rizwan knows what his real problem is and so do these two

Seniority culture plagues our cricket man. We need to get out of this mindset of what you can and can't do with players depending on their own experience.

 

[Concerned]

Keep playing weak oppositions and build false narratives

 

[IronShield]

Richly deserved humiliation for Rizwan. Hopefully its an eye opener for some of the Pakistani batsmen, old and upcomming.

 

[Champ_Pal]

May be he can be the Dawah guy in the Pak squad. Cricket always looked like secondary for him.

T20 cricket has changed since 2021.

It had changed back in 2019 aswell.

We are a better side than Sri Lanka, but 2 days ago we lost to them because we dint had the batters to play cameo innings like Agha did. T20 games are high scoring games now where advantage is taken in the PP overs and not in the death overs.

There is no shame in accepting that Rizwan isnt good enough for t20 now no matter how good of a keeper he might be. If a batter cant play at no.6 as a striker than that means he isnt good for t20 simple.

He can play ODIs and Test, but T20 cricket is not for him anymore.

 

[Usman]

When Rizwan walked off there, he’d have done well to keep walking until he’d reached the airport, boarding the first flight home. A complete embarrassment he’s been this season.

Rizwan was never the fastest run maker, but you could rely on him to score 50s at 120 strike rate for fun. Not ideal but something at least. He’s now just a passenger in the team, and a very costly one for Melbourne.

Cobra and know it all are on Saya’s payroll. Also cobra is from karachi, some of the people from there are naturally good at race card and victim card. No diss to all of people in karachi.

It’s failure of team analysts and research departments of BBL teams . Rather than properly researching which Pakistani player really makes up T20 team . They went in look for some stats and random hype, ended up picking two useless t20 batters of Pakistan

Actually feel bad for him... he has stooped to a new low even by his standards. Maybe he will find a way to invent himself if he truly looks in the mirror this time... even Hafeez developed six hitting later part lf his career. Can Rizwan turn around from this low. Time will tell...

 

[BreadPakoda]

They probably also looked at the players’ availability. From a cricket perspective, opting for Babar over some one like Saim, who opens too but has better SR and can bowl as well, makes no sense

 

[sweep_shot]

I expect more teams to do this moving forward because T20 is becoming more and more high-scoring.

If I am not wrong, there have been 3 other similar cases (retire out) in recent times.

 

[Obaidd]

I remember when Riz said he wasn’t happy to bat at some number (don’t recall exactly) and basically forced his way back to his position. Sutherland wasn’t having it today though. Good to see that the captain felt confident to take the decision.

Anyways Riz was playing his game like he does and maybe there exists some team combo where he can fit in t20. He could do well in BPL or SL league I guess. If he wants to play for Pak then he should develop his game for 6.

Going forward Pak keepers should be prepared to take the 6-7 spot. Select a regular keeps who fits that slot. Someone who doesn’t value their wicket too much but can hit it out of the park. Riz values his wicket too much and can’t hit sixes so not a suitable profile for this role.

 

[Major]

I just saw on fb that there is a report that rizwan is unhappy and filed a complaint with mr and may pull out. Now i dont know if its true and whether mr has more matches.

But if this is true, it will make him look like an idiot

Bbl isnt franchise cricket. I think its CA run, they basically sign contracts with boards and agents against money and allow certain cricketers to play.

Remember that bald glasses bowler that played in BBL, forgot his name. Garbage bowler. Was a LQ bowler

Why is he unhappy? There have been a few similar cases recently. Nic Maddison was also retired out in BBL recently.

West Indies also did the same with Roston Chase.

Nothing wrong with it. Team comes first always.

 

[BouncerGuy]

He was going slow, captain removed him... Nothing wrong here.. Nobody has to feel offended by this thing.

People are making fun of it because it is rizwan? Or what??
