[VIDEOS] Justice for Sahibzada Farhan: what did he do wrong?

People were doing bhagra on his intent and blazing fast inning but the exposure came way too soon..., Mis or hit player... he will hit 1 four or a six and then he will play 6-7 dots...

Getting out in the same old manner... No improvement whatsoever.... Time is running away for him.
Exactly. Unfortunately the scene is we are continuing to be revolving door hoping some magic will happen. That's not how it works. If they drop someone for some reason send them to NCA and domestic to fix those issues. Whether it is strike rotation, or boundary hitting, or playing against ball coming in, playing against left arm spin or wrist spin, our main batters are all carrying some weakness or other which top bowling sides won't let you carry and you get found out. Same case with Babar, zero change done, and just rewarded with come back due to failure of others. Same will happen with Rizwan due to failure of others.

The revolving door continues with zero overall improving at individual batter level.

To be honest in last few years the only batters that have made some significant improvement in performance is actually among all rounders like Nawaz and hate to say it even Faheem.

But our main batters have done nothing to change and overcome their individual weaknesses. I remember Hafeez made changes and learned more six hitting ability later in his career. Why cant our current lot do the same. And if they ate not willing to, stop rewarding come backs due to failure of others, instead try other up and coming guys. Maybe a Maaz Sadaqat at some point.
 
He has just managed to master T20 hacking on slow wickets. I am sure he will be brutally exposed on fast wickets with his trigger movements and down swing.
 
Totally useless and a complete hack who cannot really hit anything.

A poor man’s Ahmed Shehzad.
 
I said Sharjeel too. He wasn’t even in the PSL

Why do you expect me to argue with stats only? I don’t argue like that. I have instincts. I have experience knowing, studying this game. I can make fair assessments with long term vision based on that experience and study of the game.

I can’t win arguments with stats only, but in the long run I know what I am saying. Another thing I learned is that you do, and you should pick your players for what they are capable of doing on their best day. I love this mantra by England cricket.
Wow I really missed some gems !
Great post that
 
Another failed claim of OP busted, Farhan has limitations evident at international level and will be undone most of the time by opposition , let's hope OP comes out of his intent syndrome and realises the reality.

And some guys here say why people mock terms like intent...LOL

If Farhan is what intent is then sure I will mock it

. . . 4 . . . . 6 that's 10 (9) the story of Farhan so far, his career SR is 124 , just shows his limitation as a batsmen and unfortunately he hasn't worked on it. A team like Pakistan already prone to collapses do not need these kind of players.
 
How dare OP speak up for the injustice of a deserving player? How dare OP speak up about the hypocrisy in selection and preferential treatment of undeserving yet popular players like Babar and Rizwan!

Your frustration has no end to it.
 
He needs to be persisted with. He has the ingredients to become a good player.

We must keep going with Saim, Sahibzada, Fakhar and Usman/Haris until the next World Cup.

add in Abrar and Shaheen as there psotions are fixed too.

And although I haven;t been big fan of them, Faheem and Nawaz have reserved their spot. The core of the team is reasonably set. We need to make a call on Agha sooner rather than later though.

I liked the way we lined up ysterday it wasn't too all rounder heavy.

Saim
Farhan
Fakhar
Usman
Hassan Nawaz
Maaz/Niazi
M Nawaz
Faheem
Shaheen (c)
Another Bowler
Abrar

I would like to see us line up like this

3 main bowlers, 8 overs split between Saim, M Nawaz and Faheem,

Honestly, its not the worst team to line up in a world cup given our stocks.

Farhan will be opening for Pakistan in their first game of the T20 World Cup against India in Colombo.

Deal with it.

@Kianig89 @BouncerGuy @gazza619 @Raja Ishtiaq @Mobashir
 
Your suffering has no end actually. Is it my fault Babar is useless in T20??
Unlike you, I don't care that much about personals. If Sahibzada comes good I will be happy. I was enjoying and celebrating his good performance in the final vs India.
It just that I feel he isn't good enough to play international cricket and I am happy he has been given a good go, so that we can decide if we should continue with him or drop him.

As far as you are concerned, I am sure every runs Babar or Rizwan scores Hurt you.
 
Surely...He will... He just needs to improve his issue of Dot Balls... Rest he is fine
yeh needs to improve on it

but he is also the type of player that IF ( and yes its a big IF) he bats for 20 overs, he will completely sink the opposition.

Let's back him.

“He isn’t good enough to play international cricket but he’s good enough to destroy the best international bowling attack” 🤡

They want players who opt to bat 20 overs and sink their own team.
 
When have you ever thinked correctly ?
Always Alhamdolillah
That’s a sign that I am always thinking with the correct God gifted wisdom I have been bestowed with.

From Asif Ali captain to Sahibzada a destroyer in the powerplay with a SR of less than 120. Yes, you are always right.

For Asif Ali as captain instead of Babar and Rizwan in T20s

Indeed.

Trying to mock me on Sahibzada claim is like mocking a billionaire for choosing to drive a Range Rover instead of a Lamborghini Urus. You’ve literally got ZERO case against me 🤡
 
And he will score 40 from 38 balls with 4 sixes. That should satisfy you I guess.

Farhan needs to be kicked out and Maaz needs to be brought in the set up.
No. You and others like you do not decide who plays for Pakistan and who shouldn’t

You lost that right a long time ago. You have proven time and time again that you do not understand the game, and nor do you have the best interests of Pakistan cricket at heart.

We will take it from here now. Thanks.
 
Babar needs to stay as you need at least one world class batter.
How is Babar a world class T20 batter?

This is why I reiterate, you lost the right to comment on what’s correct and what isn’t.

You need to reflect on how you have been stubbornly incorrect and have tried to mislead others with falsehood.

Give me T20 stats of a current world class Pakistan batter.
 
He is a good player of spin & opposition teams have clocked that, so they tend to expose him to pace & he does struggle. His lack of foot movement, his dot ball percentage & inability to play swing are for everyone to see.

However, if Mike Hesson & his coaching staff feel like they can still work with him, well I back them. Because, like Hassan Nawaz they could have dropped Farhan from the squad & persisted with Fakhar as a opener or play one of Usman, Babar or M.Haris in that slot.

But no, they will keep trying Sahibzada & hopefully it works.
 
Sahibzada Farhan scored a solid 50 off 33 balls, but Pakistan need this kind of innings from him consistently if he is to secure his place as a regular T20I opener.
 
@Raja Ishtiaq

You've been talking a lot of smack about Sahibzada Farhan. He may not be the finished the article but he doesn't need to be because he's well ahead of Babar and Rizwan in the shortest format (and perhaps in ODIs too).
 
That is why I don’t trust these stats obsessed posters here . Babar is cheetah bla bla best . Farhan can’t play he has been exposed 🤣. But Babar can play he is a legend , despite numerous failures .

It’s a no brainer a batter who can counter attack one of best bowler in world in a high pressure game has got no calibre ? And someone who has failed 1000 times when pressure was put on him . He is a legend? Thats reason I don’t take serious these posters here who will sell you chooran of technique and stats .

The same cult were Misbah cheerleaders, which sums up their appetite for mediocrity.

Mediocre minds will always approve of mediocrity.

@Raja Ishtiaq

Any words for Farhan's innings? If this was your poster boy, Rizwan, I'm sure we would never hear the end of it.
 
Another failed claim of OP busted, Farhan has limitations evident at international level and will be undone most of the time by opposition , let's hope OP comes out of his intent syndrome and realises the reality.

Yet another unquestioning Babar loyalist ends up embarrassed. Farhan certainly has flaws, but those don’t matter when blind devotion to Babar is the only lens.
 
I like Farhan and support his inclusion in the team but to pretend he is much more attacking than Babar is kinda dumb. Babar has a higher overall strike rate. Sure Farhan has potential and can hit more sixes but let’s not deny facts. I like both though and that is possible.

Already have commented in the other thread
:facepalm

First good innings since the Asia cup final so take it easy with doing bhangra with your friend @Rana

Nice joke about Farhan being better than Rizbabar in ODI format.

He is no longer on my radar..............for now

Need better consistency going forward

There will be no room for passengers in 2026!

Otherwise,

Who will take his spot as an opener Ball Blazer sab?
 
A good knock after like 10-15 games????

Good for him and for Pakistan if he can do that more often.... He is a sure shot for World cup so gotta find his partner now....
 
Did well last match. Already just confirmed he’s our best t20 batsman.

Odi batting is quite a bit easier than t20. So it does feel strange our best t20 bat isn’t even play Odis.

I guess he’s waiting around for fakhar to retire. But farhans already over 30 and in form. And arguably his game should suit Odis more.

I would have been tempted to move fakhar down to 3. His reflexes are waning. I know back in his prime you wouldn’t dare move him. But to play the man in form makes sense to me.
 
But you were doing bhangra as if Pakistan won the 1992 World Cup all over again when Babar scored a ton after 3 years?
YEAH.. because he was out of form


but according to you farhan is the example of intent and also he was in form. still he failed badly

What’s failing badly? Becoming the universal boss of Bumrah is failing badly?

Hahah.... you are doing bhangra over those 2 sixes but you failed to understand that his strike was still under 120 in that whole event... What are you talking about man...

Do you even look what you are writing??

Did he or did he not make Bumrah his in the tournament!?

Why are you denying reality?

Was Bumrah totally lost, clueless against SF17 Thunder or not??

Did he not end up bowling fruity slow ball full tosses as a sign of how clueless and helpless he was against Farhan?

Babar and riz won world cup game against india... what do we do about it now
Do I care about winning a game or do I care about leaving a mark that remains for eternity?

(well it’s good to win a game tbf).

I care about wins.... You don't care about win then you are just working on an agenda that is getting exposed everyday.

Talk about Salman (YOUR T20 HERO)
 
From being unjustly dropped/removed/shifted around the batting order to accommodate rubbish accumulator openers….whilst being called “non international material”….

To then becoming the father of Bumrah


And then the ICC 4th ranked T20i batsman…


Respect to Sahibzada Farhan!
 
A word for the legendary Hafeez, who opened a T20i match with Haseebullah and Rizwan,

Whilst Farhan batted at 7!

SNGPL pride and beauty @Major

Ode to the legendary Misbah, who had Fakhar and Sharjeel in his side but didn’t open with them 🤡
 
according to @Mobashir

Sahibzada is still doubtful as a T20 batsman but Babar Azam is undoubtedly a T20 batter…

Expert view MashaAllah
I Hope he keep performing and moves to number one in the ranking.

But Yes, he is doubtful because :
- when I watch him bat, the lack of feet movement, and more than this, the lack of strike rotation is baffling.
- when I look at his stats, and I read ave/SR
Vs Australia 12/103
Vs NZ 7/88
Vs SA 24/118
That tells me he isn't the player we want. But then it's Just 11 games, so I hope he goes on to improve this and start performing like he has done so well in the Final vs India.

He is doubtful but Babar isn’t?

And you want to pick fights right now about Younis Khan being an ODI batter or not?

No need to QUOTE me if it's not to answer the post. You can just continue writing whatever you want.

You were complaining why I find Sahibzada Farhan doubtful, so I told you. If you have anything interesting to say on it you are welcome.
