Hassan Ali got absolutely thrashed. Earlier, I thought the BBL was being generous by giving Pakistani players a chance. Now it feels like they brought them in just to expose them on the big stage. Completely overrated, total frauds.

Well, the BBL never signed Pakistani players who could actually perform or at least show competitive edge in these conditions.

Saim Ayub
Abbas Afridi
Aamer Jamal
Abrar Ahmed
Sufyan Muqeem
Khwaja Nafay
Ali Raza
Arafat Minhas
Ahmed Daniyal


These boys would have been much better options for this competition and style. They all would develop their game as well and add some value to the teams. Clearly the BBL doesn’t care about competition and is more about outreach through names.

You missed Mohammad Haris

 

[Rana]

You missed Mohammad Haris

Yeah I think him as well, they will know what to do with him.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hasan Ali with a little comeback. Giving away only 6 in the 20th over.

Still all pacers got smashed at around 15 rpo.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Bad outing for Hasan ali.... 52 runs in his 4 overs..

 

[Rana]

I think the Sixers knew this game was to be washed out so they sent Babar to open with Smith just so the crowd might enjoy it a bit for however long it lasts,

Although I would be highly surprised if they go with this ploy going forward in their crunch games.

@topspin @shaz619 @TheSultan

What do you recon boys? Do you think it’s part of Babar’s contract/agreement with Sixers/BBL that Babar will open the innings in every match for them? So far Sixers have tried:

Babar/Hughes
Babar/Moises
Babar/Smith


Babar has been the worst opener for them but he doesn’t change, everyone else does. Something very suspicious about this? If true, doesn’t it show why this guy genuinely doesn’t care about the team’s he represents and only cares about making himself look good?

 

[Rana]

If I recall correctly over the years, @Saj also mentioned contractual details of Babar’s direct signings with Peshawar Zalmi and Galle Strikers, that they will sign him as an opener+captain. This is the reason why the guy doesn’t directly enter any draft or auction system to be picked. He’s only featuring for you if the money is on the table and he gets to bat where he wants.

Well your point is valid but the names you have taken would not get a picked except Saim Ayub and Abrar.

However, would love to see Fakhar being picked, but considering his poor performance since last few years in this format, don't see him making it.

Apart from these two, there is hardly any player who is worth getting picked especially a batter. I know you would argue about Farhan, but don't see him getting success in long term.

Good for Pakistan cricket.

Definitely seems as if there’s some small print Saya have successfully put in the contract. Im sure there’s probably something in there that says “unless our client voluntarily moves down the order”. Obviously he voluntarily would never do that. Not for the good of the team that’s for sure

Here we go again Rizwan 0 from 3

 

[Rana]

@topspin Rizwan forced off

Captain made him retire

 

[Rana]

@Major Misbah’s tohfa. Today he finally received his reward

 

[Usman Chadda]

@topspin Rizwan forced off

Captain made him retire

I hope this happens to Babar too in one of these games.

 

[Rana]

What a besti!

 

[Ali Active]

How embrassing and pak wants him in t20s

 

[Rana]

How embrassing and pak wants him in t20s

Pak doesn’t want him in T20s

It’s the majority stupid fans who want him

 

[Ali Active]

Pak doesn’t want him in T20s

It’s the majority stupid fans who want him

if he has some sort of self respect he should hang his boots in t20s and play odis and tests or just focus on tests

Oh bhai he’s the next captain of the Sialkot franchise

 

[Usman Chadda]

It isn’t for Pakistan now.

It’s an embarrassment for BBL who signed him and didn’t mention that he’s been dropped from Pakistan at the start of the tournament. Instead they kept hyping him and Babar up for reach.

Pakistan cricket fans like me and millions of our mindset have no reason to feel ashamed of this.

Rizwan hasn’t played for the national T20 team in quite a while and his struggles are well documented.

This would have been embarrassing for Pakistan had he been part of the national team set-up and this happened. As it stands, this reflects poorly on the franchise for selecting a washed-up irrelevant T20 player.

Babar going through the same will be utmost embarrassment as he will be part of the team.

Exactly

Pakistan management (Hesson+Aqib) have nothing to be ashamed about.

 

[Local.Dada]

No complaints, no attitude, total team man this Rizwan. Had a smile on his face while retiring for the team. Love this guy.

Yes not 100% fit for T20, but a 7000 run tests and 8000 run odis type career.

He wasn’t coming off. Watch the video again.

Renegades are stupid.

They were 90/4 and Rizwan took them to 157.

 

[Rana]

Yes,

Rizwan adapted on this occasion, otherwise he usually takes them or his teams to a run rate of 12 an over when he’s out there batting freely

Your statement is stupid.

Babar / Celebrimbor finally smartened up, Rizwan / Anatar on the other hand:
