Fantastic knock but he needs to just work on the thing where he intentionally slows down to get to that hundred... Just kill the game man and be brave.. Only batter in the side who is on merit

Steve Smith speaking about Sahibzada Farhan during the pitch side interview :
“He (Sahibzada Farhan) was magnificent. Just took the game on, hit the ball in the middle more often than not. We’ve seen it the last couple of weeks in the World Cup—he was magnificent there, and he’s brought that form here. He missed out the other night, and I know he was keen to get going. Chasing 224 or 225, you need to get off to a good start, and we were able to do that and get the ball rolling nicely."
“We just let each other do our own thing out there and be brave, really. Our job is to take the game on, particularly when you’re chasing a big total like that. Fortunately, we were able to get off to a really nice start. It’s nice when someone’s hitting the ball as cleanly as that up the other end—it takes the pressure off you, and you’re able just to see ball and hit ball."
"You always want to perform, but he (Sahibzada Farhan) seems pretty relaxed. I think he works incredibly hard. I was talking to Shan Masood just before about him, and he said he (Sahibzada Farhan) trains so hard—he trains hitting sixes, and he’s very good at it. He hit eight tonight and just played beautifully. Hopefully, we can see a lot more of that."

A generational talent for us. He's the real deal. Not a loser like Saim.

He has grinded hard in domestic cricket and not like Saim, who got a chance because of his crap no-look shot once or twice.

He has been incredibly consistent with the big scores. All I would request Pak fans is to not over hype him or start comparing with Abhishek Sharma or other openers yet.
Babar comparison with Kohli didn't end well. Let him be his own man but early signs are really really good.

I'm a Farhan supporter and I hope he continues making waves. I fully back him in T20Is and we don't have a better opener than him atm.
But I'll play the devil's advocate here and use the same arguments we've heard with RizBar:
-We didn't win the WC
-His strike rate was the lowest out of the top 5 batters in the WC
-Minnow bashed Namibia
-Stat padded against a below par Sri Lankan outfit in a game where we had to win heavily. He played half the balls in the innings to get a 100. Others got us 112 from the same amount of balls. In the end it wasn't enough
Just exposing the agenda that we had to bear with everyday

Babar's comparison with Kohli wasn't a fair one. Farhan has been doing exceptionally well since his comeback into the national side as he is batting at his preferred number and doesn't have to do wicket-keeping as well.

Your daddies Farhan and Tulla Agha would have scored 0 if they were facing SENAI.

Poster you are replying to is an Ind fan with an agenda. He recently claimed Hesson's Pakistan was dead even against first strength SENA sides and then when I checked the matches the SA team had club level players. Farhan is useless against SENAI and a pure minnow basher. This is undeniable and the numbers show it.

Steve Smith should be happy they aren't playing against SENAI then because otherwise Farhan would have failed as usual.

Are you implying that Farhan stocks are high only because it's easier to be a tulla against weaker sides?

Who won that game ,
Is that a new metric you score other batsmen let you down but your innings becomes null Pak fans agendas.

I think Smith is glad he isn't batting with someone he has to deny a single to

I just hope Farhan doesn't end up as next Babar

He won't he's not a touch player like Babar and statpadding is not his game he plays well around his limitations...... Maaz looks more capable of scoring a 100 of 40-45 balls.

I saw this interview on the PSL YouTube channel and it seemed like genuine praise. Not forced like they had during the BBL for Babar etc.
Smith was quite impressed with Farhan’s hard work off the field, he mentioned how Farhan practices hard to hit sixes. I don’t think the two of them can communicate due to a language barrier, but it’s telling how a modern great has genuine respect for your work ethic in this role you both find yourself in.

Definitely a minnow basher tulla. Even in the t20 wc tulla played 3 matches 2 inning vs SENAI and averages 30 odd.

For that he would need to perform against SENAI and not just minow bash.

Yeah that is why he took 1 full over when he was on 95 to get to his hundred... not statpadder.

I think they want him to bat till the end from opening , and finish the match also each time lol
Yes if his hundred ends up in a loss but that's not been happening.

I think his slowing down (whether deliberate or unfortunate) in his hundred against SL was detrimental though
Pakistan could have posted 240ish that day and he missed out on a juicy 18th over by Shanaka even though he was the well set batsman.

What is new, this has been a trait for too long. always trying to get this personal milestones. These guys lack the killer instinct. Only FZ has the attitude to really go for the kill.
Yes we could have scored more but we were always going out the damage was done playing Agha at 3 and Babar at 4 against England..... These 2 would have cost us again in the semi or final both should never play T20s again for Pakistan.

2 wrongs dont make it right. Farhan needs to understand how poor the other players were, which play for their stats. The mindset needs to change.
He's not superman now he has a few limitations too a few shots find the fielder then out which means he's trying but unable to get it through.... When he's genuinely blocking then its different once he gets to 80 his mindset should be simple 4 boundaries to get to 100 then keep going.

started well but couldnt finish
Lowest of the top 5 maybe. But your heroes were close to lowest of all recognised batsmen!
“i vILl aPpLy sAmE aRGuMaAAnTs sAaAr”
So far he has continued to show that his scoring does not help the team ultimately. When you play so many balls starting as an opener, you have to make it count in today’s white ball cricket.
It’s similar to Rizwan, how he would score, statpad, play a lot of balls, but in the end the team would still lose.
Farhan specially does this against any half decent team and all of SENAI. We lost that Sri Lanka match because of him as well, we were all set to make 245+ but his selfishness and playing dots specially towards the end cost us.
In complete contrast was Fakhar Zaman’s played with a proper strike rate throughout his innings.
With Farhan you know the net result of all his “slogging” will still be a mediocre strike rate at the end. As his range of shots is limited (all midwicket and long on slogs) and he consumes too many dots throughout.
Just ignore all the PSL tamasha, not comparable to international cricket.

Farhan is still our best T20 batter atm. No doubts... MS also banking on him to give them a brisk start. Good for Farhan, keep going.
