The team is a mess.

Ask stupid PCB that's why.

People need to understand that you can't apply the same logic to spin bowlers in multiple formats that you can to batters and pacers.

A test batter may not be a good odi batter and an odi batter may not be a good t20 batter and vice versa. Same logic for Pacers due to varying line and length requormwntns in each format.

However a good spinner is a good spinner in any format. Plain and simple. If you can spin the ball and bowl consistently you'll be successful in each format.

Sajid khan's rubbish List A stats have no bearings on his current form where he's killing it in List A and Fc cricket. Same with Noman chacha.

Both sajid and noman are better batters then any of our tail enders as well.

Assuming pak and uae are the host nations for ct 2025, these 2 will be a nightmare for any opposition.

People don't understand that eng test wasn't won by spin wickets. Yes we curated spin wickets but zahid, Saim and any other bowler was utter rubbish. Abrar would have also gotten tonked.

Similarly England spinners weren't bowling as well on the same pitch either.

Sajid and Nouman were in a class of their own. It has nothing to do with the pitch. Zahid is a short half tracking trundler, Abrar is slower then a woman cricketer and saim is honestly just a slow medium bowler, he can't spin the ball.

Sajid and noman are classy spinners. Noman was the reason pak dominated England as well. Abrar fluked one 7 wicket haul but noman caused the collapse with his own 7 wicket haul and he's done it consistently

Great post bro made fantastic points i agree 100 percent with you here if pak can select both sajid and noman it is pak champions trophy to loose because these two will give quality 20 overs of spin bowling Which can be a huge factor in winning pak champions trophy and i believe these two have made england look absolutely clueless with their bowling and other spinners england would have smashed them.

Tbf it's not as simple. England is pretty bad against spin.

Maxwell even in his current form is a gun spin player and Travis head + Marsh on song can dismantle any attack.

Indian players are naturally good at spin as well. The whole reason they dominated at home was cause they prepared spin wickets but as batters knew how to tackle it.

Klaseen from sa is the king of spin bashing.

Sajid and nouman will need to be used wisely. The main issue is that besides these 2, Pakistan doesn't have anyone to accompany them.

Rauf takes wickets but is expensive. Naseem and shaheen are trundlers lol

And bro believe me if pak select these two in playing 11 sa tests pak will have a series win there aswell ya i know people might say sa provide pitches for fast bowlers but one thing people are forgetting south africa batting is trash against spin i mean just look at t20 series they are struggling against india spinners noman and sajid will have field day there

Tbh idk.

Ali raza impressed me due to raw pace but atm he's brainless. He's basically just a younger version of haris rauf atm.

Tbh pakistan's pace bowling stocks have massively dried up which is shocking as this is the same country that produced wasim, Waqar, Amir(Prime), Asif(Prime), and Umar Gul.

Another underrated left handed bowler was Junaid Khan who never got the credit he deserved.

In recent times, things have dried up Tbh.

Ya true sadly pak dont have those great pacers coming anymore what pak can do in short time is have sajid and noman and play pacers playing supporting role and let your spinners attack at teams.
 
Fakhar & Saim are suitable for opening ,Aqib missed the trick here also Jamal has good slogging abilities he should be tried in t20s
 
mominsaigol said:
You have an issue with farhan who has the exact same sr as Bobby and rizzu? And recently rizzu and babar's avg haven't been anything special. Their also avg 28 to low 30's.

Their 50 to 49 avg in t20 are from 2019-2021 days.

I agree farhan shpuld only replace Abdullah in tests. I was one of the few to advocate him to not be selected in t20.

But I find it funny that you're advocating for Bobby and rizzu over farhan. All 3 are the same peas in a pod.
Click to expand...
Babar and Rizwan are proven world class performers. Farhan is substandard. He can only be considered as a backup option.
 
Aqib is the type of character who will take credit but throw people under the bus when things don’t work.

His insistence on spinning tracks wasn’t a revelation. Everyone knew that it was the obvious thing to do.

The squad that he selected for the T20I series is really poor. He must face the music for this. Pakistan have a wonderful captain in Rizwan and the job of the selectors is to enable him not disable him.

Asif Ali could have been the key to winning today’s game. I would have chosen Fakhar and Asif to open if they were available. Watching highlights of the Hong Kong Sixes reminded me of Asif’s incredible six hitting ability, he was smashing sixes effortlessly. Today’s seven over game was eye opening, and it’s clear that we need a change in T20 leadership. If Shaheen could be removed as captain after one series, there’s no reason why Rizwan can’t be replaced after a single game. Asif should lead the T20 side, and it’s time to consider comebacks for Sharjeel and Azam Khan as well.

Asif would have handed the last over to Agha, believing in the strategy of trying a part time spinner in the death overs. Australia used a similar approach by giving the final over to Zampa when they had the game nearly won or so they thought. With 41 runs still needed, a few no balls here and there, and Pakistan could have chased down the target, but Zampa bowled a game changing over against some of Pakistan’s world class lower order batters in this match.

Pakistan can't plan for reduced games which shpuld have been standard.

Brisbane weather had been showing thunderstorms and rain since yesterday. The likely hood of a washout or shortened game was very likely.

Besides its not like they announced their playing 11 yesterday.

They announced it at the toss when they already knew it was a 7 over game

Pakistan were planning for visits around local mosques and restaurants in Brisbane. They were prepared for the washout.

CA and umpires wrecked their plans forcing them to play a reduced game out of the blue.

I don’t know if it was fully Aqib’s call, but he really dropped the ball for this t20 selection.
 
Losing to USA was Aqib Javed’s fault

If it wasn’t his fault

It was Asif Ali’s fault


It’s everyone’s fault, but not those who strike at 90 in 2 T20i world cups

But how can it be a poor squad when you have 2 world class players in 2 goat positions no 1 and no 3 in Cricket's shortest format?

And how can it he a poor squad when you got the world's 3rd greatest pakistani pacer ever produced and rauf who rizwan has revograted to become a world class bowler?

Shabzada farhan aik banda hai bhai? 🤣🤣.

You really need to disconnect the Babar and rizwan cord.

2-3 selections can ruin everything even if you have some really good players in the squad. It is about the overall makeup of the squad.

This is the worst T20I squad I have ever seen.

You been bashing saim and fakhar for the past year or so and now you want saim and fakhar lol

What happened to the best players of t20 babar and rizwan? They are rubbish when stakes are high


I don't even know if you actually watch the games or not aqib made the right decision
Saim takes his time to get going so he's better in odi's

If you look at the xi babar, rizwan, usman, irfan, Agha, naseem, shaheen, abbas afridi

So only farhan who opened was a new addition and has done what saim would have done anyway so he's not effected babar and rizwan in any way they are both trash and failed us

So when pakistan wins its rizwan brilliance when pakistan lose blame it on aqib

Only players missing are azam khan, shadab and ifti chacha which one you missing?

Fakhar is a poor opener in T20Is but he is Pakistan’s best middle order batsman in the format. It is absurd to not select him.

Babar, Rizwan, Saim and Fakhar must be in the top 4. Rest pick themselves because there are no options. I have a big problem with Aqib for not selecting Fakhar in the middle-order.

Saim has failed so far but you would always have more faith in him than Sahibzada who has limited potential.

Maybe tactical. Slaughter them in Aus. They are not in the team for future series right.
 
Aaqib Javed overtakes Pakistan cricket is the headline.

The apocalypse of Pakistan cricket has officially begun!

Jai Ho!
 
With a planned strategy he took out Gary and then Gillispie however he’s not lasting long since he’s run back to his qalandars after one bad series and then no credible foreign coach would stick with Pakistan
 
He has selected the worst T20I squad in Pakistan history on first attempt. Quite a feat.
 
So, Aqib Javed in his press conference yesterday mentioned that t20 need power hitters and when asked about consistent pattern of not scoring high totals, he mentioned conditions matter like the low scoring WT20 in USA.

But here certain posters are hell bent that every batsman should score a six on alternate delivery

No one claimed this. Lol.

also im surprised that you like quoting pointing alot but you never quoted his lines about his own batting.

Pointing frequently stated

" When I'm on the crease, my first thought is to hit a 6, if not possible, then 4, if still not possible, then 3, if not possible then 2, if not possible then take a single otherwise just block"

^^ Not his exact words but something similar however i can find this quote. Pointing's mindset was 6 first and then other possibilities come into the equation.

Obviously a batsmen must focus on playing according to the situation and conditons. However rizwan and Babar do not do so.

16 of 26 on aussie pitches where aussies themselves are smacking 50 of 3 overs is unacceptable.
 
I think people are missing the point. The T20 series vs Australia & white ball series against Zimbabwe is the ideal opportunity to experiment.

First time in decades the team management is giving chances to new players. We must support them.

We now know that probably Agha, Farhan, Ghulam, Haseeb & Irfan are not made for international white ball cricket.

This is also a learning curve for both Riz & Aquib. Good will come out of this!

He won you a test series? I agree with you on aqib but it's just funny cause you were gloating about the test wins and aus odi wins but don't wish to give credit to Aqib.

When Pakistan wins a test series or odi series it's thanks to the brilliance of Shan and Rizwan but when they lose its notnthe fault of your goat captains but Aqib's fault instead?

What kind of logic is that. If you lose then everyone is to blame, captain included.
 
useless aqib javed for selecting bowlers like sufiyan muqeem who can take 5 wickets just under 3 overs and only giving 3 runs. and selecting openers like omair bin yousaf who are striking 166 in the powerplay
 
You all owe my brother @Rana And @emranabbas an apology.

They've been fighting for an aggressive opening duo for years.

If rizzu and Babar were here they'd have chased down in full 10 overs.

And credit to rana for backing saim. Since many including myself were giving up on the kid. After his performance against aus and now, I'm 100% certain that this is the guy you should vouch for and not riz/Babar.

@TheSultan and @CerebralPatriot as well
 
Here's my overall take on Aqib Javed atm.

Positives

1) He won a test series at home by going back to the UAE mantra. Pakistan remained winless for 2 ywars before he came in and he deserves said cresit. Gillespie + Shan wanted the 2nd test to be played with the same rubbish pacers and rubbish team.

2) He won you an odi series against aus in their own den.

3) He got rid of multiple dead weights like Imam, Chacha, Shadab, Nawaz, Usama Mir etc.

4) He backed and continues to back Donestic performers like Saim Ayub and Usman Khan. Ik people don't like usman khan, However the dude has been performing in domestics and theirs no arguments againat that. Drop UK but rn he still needs a bit of a longer rope. People wanted saim ayub dropped before his aus bashing.

5) He also seems to select based of conditons. For example he didn't take sajid khan in sa due to sajid's aus test performance and clearly has looked at stats of overseas spinners like ashwin in sa to make said judgments.

6) He issued warnings to Babar and has been willing to drop him and move on from him, whether he upholds his promise of discarding babar after sa remains a mystery but for now he's solid.

Negatives

1) He is one of the most incompetent, brainless t20 coaches/ selectors i have ever seen in my life. Agha as vc, Rizwan as t20 c, farhan as an opener, niazi in t20 and many other chawals are in due to his selections. Aqib Javed clearly doesn't understand t20 cricket.

However I will not blame him for the opening duo, he ain't selecting playing 11's, opening with saim and omair was the right call against Zimbabwe, Rizwan is to blame for yesterday.

Regardless he's a brainless t20 selector.

2) His treatment of Rizwan. Look i don't mind that he appointed Rizwan as captain as none of the other options were feasible. Okay fair that's fine. I don't mind. But why is he so relaxed towards Rizzu and Not bobby?

He seems to have zero issues with rizwan opening, playing at no 4 and infact despite choosing his playing 15, He's comfortable with rizwan making playing 11 decisons? Like what the hell Aqib?

3) Some of his selections don't make sense particularly Abdullah Shafique, Hasebullah( dropped him but still), abrar etc.

Won't comment on fakhar as I don't know if aqib is keeping him out or pcb corrupt officials are.

Regardless I don't mind Aqib but imo, Maybe just stick to tests selections. He's God awful in t20 atm.
 
You can clearly see he is way more informed about domestics than Kirsten/Gillespie.


He's made a great start so far and hopefully he can maintain a good dressing room, no fallings out or favourtism.
 
I think reducing the role of Gillespie and Kirsten (who eventually resigned) appears to have been well thought out and the correct one. Obviously Aaqib was waiting in the wings with a better strategy. Not only did he beat England but also the ODI’s In Australia and SAF. Appears that he knows how to develop a squad better than a foreign coach. Nobody cares about t20. doesn’t matter what the results are there but it appears that he knows what he’s doing in the main formats. The real test though is the Test series in SAF. It’s one thing to beat England on roughed up pitches at home but can he develop a winning formula on these bouncy pitches in South Africa. We will know soon enough if these series wins are just flukes.
