My issue with him is favouring his bits n pieces and shoving them in the middle order then he's wondering why we're in the position we're in. He could have got away with his own performances had he sorted this beforehand but dude is clueless or arrogant or both.Babar is now receiving abuse on all social media posts related to his stats and rankings. Pakistani fans have rightfully lost their patience with this GOAT cricketer and captain.
Only time Pakistan has ever beaten India at full strength is in 2014 and 2017 only.(Talking about post Sachin era once he retired after asia cup 2012)When you look back at Babar's captaincy. The only achievements that come to your mind is beating India in a WT20. That's about it.
Sure he reached a Semi Final and Final of a WT20. But plenty of captains reach that and that's not an achievement.
As a captain we won no big substantial series or test series overseas. Nor did he win any ICC or infact ACC tournament.
In 5-10 years time people will look at Babar Azam as Pakistan's worst captain. Particularly if we take into account the duration of his captaincy.
What are your thoughts?
But you wanted RizBar to open around the England series?If Babar brings back the RIZBABAR duo, I will have no hopes for him. Need to change a few things from his past experience. No more blunders.
It’s hard to understand for people…because you never do have the last laughI don’t know what part of “I will always have the last laugh” do people not understand.
Always on the money DocBabar Azam is committing career suicide by accepting captaincy at this point.
I dont know who his advisors are but he is being given terrible suggestions and by the time he is done he will be a footnote in Pakistan cricket history.
Loving this thread. I think admin needs to add "Moye Moye" emoji
Amir and Imad were garbage.It’s hard to understand for people…because you never do have the last laugh
both were good ..imad bowled well , amir bowled well in parts .. its the bobby frnd gang which destroyed teamAmir and Imad were garbage.
people spent 3 months doing propaganda on how Amir and Imad are mentally strong match winners who will uplift the team, and this is the end result. My my my.
Always on the money Doc
Amir bowled the worst Super Over in history - that too vs the USA and Imad played one of the most embarrassing knocks of all time vs India.both were good ..imad bowled well , amir bowled well in parts .. its the bobby frnd gang which destroyed team
yes that over was pathetic..but other overs bowled well..Amir bowled the worst Super Over in history - that too vs the USA and Imad played one of the most embarrassing knocks of all time vs India.
Both were garbage and both played a massive role in Pakistan’s group stage elimination.
2 and 4 have a T20 wc to their name.Pakistan captain Babar Azam surpassed former India captain MS Dhoni to record the highest runs in T20 World Cup history as captain during Pakistan’s Group A match against Ireland in Lauderhill on Sunday.

How many T20s do these players play?? Indian players have only IPL and they get exhaustedSet to play in Gt20 Canada 2024 edition. Right decision?
Right now he looks like King Geoffrey.Set to play in Gt20 Canada 2024 edition. Right decision?
Straight facts, no lies.Shoaib Akhtar in his unique way on PTV:
"Who made Babar captain in the first place? Who was the Einstein by the way? I need to know who that guy is.
"Did Babar actually qualify for this job or not? Does Babar even know a thing or two about being a captain?"
"See, I've been saying that Babur is not a captain material."
"What is going to happen to Babar now? He's going to come down to batting at number four position where he as to finish and win games.
"If he doesn't do that, he will not be able to keep the place in the T20I side"
"I'm telling you right now, he will not be able to keep the place even in ODIs because he has to finish the game for Pakistan"
"The finisher, Babar Azam needs to come out now and that's where his true character comes out"
"That's where the true character of Babar Azam is going to come out in times to come"
"That that kind of pressure he needs to take and I'm bluntly saying that to Babar that you're going to be remain a superstar but start to know how you will do that"
"Let's for once Babar, get to know how to finish games. You're going to have to do it now"
He’s in Jail mate"Who made Babar captain in the first place? Who was the Einstein by the way? I need to know who that guy is
They get exhausted because they make all the money in one go. Pakistani players need to play all year to make similar amountHow many T20s do these players play?? Indian players have only IPL and they get exhausted
Happens when Eid was hereTitle "GOAT" has become too cheap these days.

What a useless statementUsman Khawaja said at an event in Melbourne:
"It's Babar Azam's decision to captain, if he can, he should."

Such useless stats. Babar by far is the worst captain/player in that list. What has Babar ever won for Pakistan. KING of cheap and useless runs he is!Pakistan captain Babar Azam surpassed former India captain MS Dhoni to record the highest runs in T20 World Cup history as captain during Pakistan’s Group A match against Ireland in Lauderhill on Sunday.

There should be impact rating going forward based on your opponent, these padded stats are useless.Such useless stats. Babar by far is the worst captain/player in that list. What has Babar ever won for Pakistan. KING of cheap and useless runs he is!
Nobody should have absolute power and it was big mistake to give Babar so much power. Absolute power corrupts everyone. It is true not just for Babar but anyone in any field, any country.Babar Azam was on the right track for Pakistan from 2019 to 2021.
Then came Ramiz Raja who gave him all kinds of power and unchecked authority and he badly lost his way afterwards. Under Ehsan Mani, Wasim Khan there were checks and balances on his authority.
Exactly, Rameez Raja did more damage to PCt than Zaka or Najam.Babar Azam was on the right track for Pakistan from 2019 to 2021.

He still wants to do more. His views on cricket, especially Pakistan cricket post chairmanship have become more and more insane. I don’t understand the hypocrisy when people want Shaheen to stay away from Shahid Afridi, but they don’t have the same opinion when it comes to Babar being influenced by Ramiz RajaExactly, Rameez Raja did more damage to PCt than Zaka or Najam.
During one game the commentator next to Rameez askedHe still wants to do more. His views on cricket, especially Pakistan cricket post chairmanship have become more and more insane.

I would have confronted him there like KP or Simon Doull would. He gets away with so much nonsense, no wonder he’s a washed up commentator like a washed up poster hereDuring one game the commentator next to Rameez asked
"Considering Babar and Rizwan's slow Sr's don't you think Pakistan should take a hand at bringing fakhar back to open as he's the most aggressive after all, I think they should play in the middle order as that's Pakistan's weak link".
Rameez Answered with
" Well you know uhh their 2 world class players and have won so many games for Pakistan, Opening with these 2 has done more good then harm for Pakistan at the end of the day"
I mean saying we got to 2022 final because Babar and rizwan played slow and carried us is hilarious.I would have confronted him there like KP or Simon Doull would. He gets away with so much nonsense, no wonder he’s a washed up commentator like a washed up poster here
he did end up playing all the matches because they cant even win against Ireland and USA , got knocked out of the WT20... His bowling is completely out of rhythm or he deliberately bowls like that for his captaincy snub... Farooqi, Nortje , Rabada , Bumrah, Arshdeep are all doing great with the fast bowling , if Shaheen was the captain he would have topped the charts in this bowling dominant WT20...Good decision .Shaheen is our premium bowler he needs to focus on his bowling and get back in full form and also shouldn't play every bilateral t20i till world t20
Great Meltdown of Pakistan cricket too.ohh the meltdown
It's stupid to rest your premier bowlers in world cup anyways. Rest should be before in the meaningless series not in the big eventshe did end up playing all the matches because they cant even win against Ireland and USA , got knocked out of the WT20...

Babar begged him to play the India game. You clearly are cluelessjust hope Babar throws out mediocre Imad out of the side again
Where are we going to thrash Australia?Australia ko dekh lein ge. We will thrash them! Bookmark my prediction
Heartbreak for 250m Pakistanis just before Baqra Eid alsoHeartbreak for few people on Pp ahead of Eid.
As you said Zalmi made him realize his worth and value ... I think players and PCB dinosaurs made him realise that without their support , players support he cant standalone as captain or player even... They brought in Imad and Amir against his will , he didnt know whats coming , kept backing his buddies and played them loyalty for whatever reason and got mauled over,,This is why Babar demanded all format captaincy if he were to become captain again. It makes no sense for him to play under a nothing player like Masood who is not worth lacing his boots.
But Naqvi fumbled the opportunity and couldn’t remove Masood immediately and so quickly because of the connections that Masood enjoys with some of the PCB higher ups.
Babar accepted white ball captaincy with the assurance that he will also be Test captain in 2025 unless Babar himself has a change of heart.
Babar's mistake proved costlyBabar begged him to play the India game. You clearly are clueless
@Rana Wanted to ping rana as well as he usually loves hearing such reports.A journalist is reporting that Babar has met Naqvi and has complained about his own fellow players lack of support and some team officials who interferred with his decisions in the T-20 WC and Naqvi is in no mood to sack Babar and will instead take action against the players he has complained about.
Is this some kind of joke? Babar literally is enjoying Zardari level influence on the Pakistani Cricket system. Unless fans come out and protest violently outside the PCB headquarters and Babar's home, he is not going to resign and the PCB is not going to remove him.
Even Afridi never enjoyed this much control over the Pakistani Cricket system.
Naqvi ain’t going to be made to look like a fool giving Babar assurance of CT25 captaincy beforehand now. The onus really is on Babar really to do the right thing and step down. We know he won’t.@Rana Wanted to ping rana as well as he usually loves hearing such reports.
Anyway imo if this happens then expect another Ct 2025 mauling and have fans constantly complain about luck or other nonsense such as USA being a one off.

Naqvi is same level as Babar. You cannot expect any better from this guy. PCB is just buying some time. Al most same players will be retained and Kristen will be either sacked or leave the job.Lol Babar was smiling when he came at out of Lahore Airport yesterday from the US. He clearly knew he was in charge and had the PCB by the balls. They are going to keep him as captain for the 2025 CT apparently.

What they will most probably do is replace him as T20 captain. That should cool the awaam which I think is baying for his head.
The fact that Babar was smiling shows the mentality.Lol Babar was smiling when he came at out of Lahore Airport yesterday from the US. He clearly knew he was in charge and had the PCB by the balls. They are going to keep him as captain for the 2025 CT apparently.
I’m still surprised he hasn’t at least stepped down from T20 captaincyThe fact that Babar was smiling shows the mentality.
Pakistan wasn't interested in even competing besides Naseem and the newbies like Usman khan( Yes he failed but he did try) the rest didn't even give a kahoot.
Its shameful because even Bangladesh tried its hardest to chase 115 in 12 overs, that's why they lost to Afghanistan really. They could have played it safe and won but instead they wanted to qualify. A team with zero confidence is more mentally equipped then babar and friends
I'm not, he has no reason to until he is forced to.I’m still surprised he hasn’t at least stepped down from T20 captaincy
What’s with the videos and pictures of Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen back to training? What are they trying to project?Babar Azam back to training

Preparing for Australia odi seriesWhat’s with the videos and pictures of Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen back to training? What are they trying to project?
They are hungry to get their rankings backPreparing for Australia odi series
They'll get destroyed in the Australian series.They are hungry to get their rankings back
Yup , I feel even the PR team of Pak players are amateurs.What’s with the videos and pictures of Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen back to training? What are they trying to project?
Is this training? Many 70 yr old uncles do this everyday, what kind of a joke is this?Babar Azam back to training
The sad thing is, you genuinely believe that.Babar a genius he was going to unleash Abrar on these tired surfaces in the semis hence never played him.. genius but unlucky !!
Babar Azam back to training
