[VIDEOS] Shan Masood Career Poultry Farm

[Mamoon]

Another one added to the collection. The love affair continues.

An average of 28 after 33 Tests. 8 ducks.

A duck every 4 Tests.

Only in Pakistan can a pathetic batsman like him become the captain.

Mamoon bro

Give it a rest.

No one is talking about Shan Masood as the next reincarnation of Bradman.

Everyone wants a captain who can make good tactical decisions on the field.

This is why Shan is being liked by lot of people.

Your old line of all Pakistan does is bad gets a little tenuous.

Good tactical decisions? Pakistan were fined 10% match fee for slow over rate.

Forget next reincarnation of Bradman, our captain has failed to prove himself to be an acceptable player at Test level.

To be rewarded with captaincy, you first have to prove yourself to be good enough to be an automatic choice on merit.

Masood has never done that. I cannot accept the corrupt decision of making this third rate player captain and I am sorry but I will raise my voice against it and so should every well-wisher of Pakistan cricket.

Hi Mamoon,

Australia is a very tough place to tour, I think you are being a bit harsh on a kid who has limited international experience.

It was worth a shot to free up Babar so he can improve his batting, it didn't work out this tour but may work in the future and Babar will produce better results hopefully.

Masood is not a kid. He is 34 years old with 33 Tests under his belt and 10 years of experience.

 

[Rana]

Poultry farm yes but he has been a breath of fresh air as captain

 

[Mamoon]

Did you watch Steve Smith dismissal today.

He is leading Pakistan to yet another whitewash in Australia and averaged 30 with the bat.

He deserves no praise either for his batting or for his captaincy or for getting anything out of his team.

Pakistan choked twice in this series from winnable positions and as captain, he has to shoulder responsibility.

A forgettable start to what would be a forgettable captaincy tenure by a forgettable cricketer.

 

[Mamoon]

Poultry farm yes but he has been a breath of fresh air as captain

Costing his team 10% of their match fee in his very first Test because he couldn’t do his calculations right was beautiful.

 

[IndoorCricket]

Who is the current setup has those captaincy brains? Its like throw something at the wall and hope it sticks.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

We are in a predicament with Shan Masood

He's a terrible batsman, simply not good enough but have been impressed with him as a captain, he's far ahead of Babar

Is there someone else in the side that guarantees their spot based on ability/performance that can be captain? I'm not so sure, which means we are probably stuck with a non-performing captain for the foreseeable

 

[Sher Khan]

Costing his team 10% of their match fee in his very first Test because he couldn’t do his calculations right was beautiful.

Those things happen at times. It's okay.

Australia only bowled 76 overs on Day 1 of this test match without any interruptions.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

29 average as a 34 year old and is a test captain. We are declining rapidly in test cricket.

 

[Hyder]

The guy tries, reads game well but its too obvious he is not international quality. Unless something majestic happens he doesnt merit a place in team.
U can have rizwan as captain and play sarfraz in asian conditions with rizwan as a batter only thats the most logical thing. U cant have a batsman abg a duck every 4th inning and having a sub 30 avg as a batsman.

For future make young players captains of regions. Choose players based on conditions not winning combinations. Saud has looked all at sea here but looked like second coming of smith in asian conditions.

Shan for all his tactics and thinking still failed to identify right combinations and the confidence team needed not to wobble the match as we always do.

This series was the one where slow batting would ve helpes us score mot ultra aggressive approach of falling for 5th 6th stump balls. And of all people the captain failed to understand it.
We were competitive this time because pitch aided bowlers a bit and we got 20 wickets for once.

Imam ul haq

A forgettable start to what would be a forgettable captaincy tenure by a forgettable cricketer.

I thought you would have liked him as captain as he blatantly described how proud he was of the team managing to bat 100 overs and even get close to Australia, someone who knows how mediocre the team is just like you preach all day on the forum.

Going from struggling to get 10 wickets to almost winning a test is a huge achievement for a 'talentless and mediocre' team no?

Almost? There is either winning and losing.

 

[emranabbas]

Almost? There is either winning and losing.

lets name the captain who would have won the series with these useless players

 

[Snowflake]

Isn’t he one of our top scorer in this series? If you want to judge his performance as captain, why talk about his average which was built on numbers when he wasn’t the captain.

Can’t change goal posts to suit your narrative.

If we’re talking about Shan the captain, then he’s outperformed all those that have toured Australia in the recent past. He’s had a good series with the bat and tactically has been very impressive too.

To highlight slow over rate to diss his captaincy tells you about how little there is to criticize him for

 

[Abid Z]

I think Shan has done ok. Is the top scorer for Pakistan in this series. Scored runs Almost as much as Steve smith. Seems he’s at his best, so Shan at his best is almost as good as Smith at his worst. Which sums up Pak performance generally. What we are seeing is on occasion Pak playing out of their skins to grab a session when Australia are at their worst. When Australia lift themselves it looks like boys against men.

Bit unfair to single out Shan. It’s the rest of the batting…two openers and two middle order batsmen that we need to address. But we’ve always had bad openers. The least we ought to do is strengthen the middle order but you can’t chop and change mid series when there are no serious contenders. Shan and Saud deserved a chance.

Shan might be ok might not be but it’s hardly the case that there is a bradman waiting in the wings. Whoever you think of as a fabulous prospect..Saud Shakeel, saim ayub etc fails when the occasion arrives…in Australia against a top attack.

Masood is tactically superior to Babar, no doubt. I think he could have a future as perhaps a member of team management after going through the coaching processes.

But I agree, his batting credentials are not good enough.

Who else though on our team can be captain is the question?

Babar is out of the equation, Shaheen doesn't have the fitness to do so. Shakeel is too inexperienced. It only leaves Shan and Rizwan.

At least with Rizwan, there's an average of 40+ to go with it.

But I'll be open minded and give Shan another series, see if he can make runs at home at least.

Rizwan has enough on his plate. He shouldn’t captain anything longer than 50 overs. He is one of the few assets in the team right now so he shouldn’t be burdened further.

That leaves Shan, and he seems to be stepping up to the role.

 

[Savak]

Pakistan desperately needs a tactically astute proactive captain in the field. Masood even if he consistently scores 40-50 runs in the team is fine as long as he makes the right calls as captain in terms of selections, bowling changes and field placings.

Am sick of Pakistan routinely giving the captaincy to the best players in the team who are devoid of cricketing intellect and understanding

I don’t need to shift goalposts to prove that Masood is a rubbish batsman. An average of 30 with no big score is not a “good” series.

But then again, for the worst top-order batsman in Pakistan Test history (avg 28 after 33 Tests, an average of 30 in Australia would be considered a success.

 

[Concerned]

Shan is the best thinking captain Pakista have.

If he is to stay in the test team he should move down the order as he as no business at the top.

 

[shamaan]

He has been very good as a captain but question marks still remain regarding his batting.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Rizwan has enough on his plate. He shouldn’t captain anything longer than 50 overs. He is one of the few assets in the team right now so he shouldn’t be burdened further.

That leaves Shan, and he seems to be stepping up to the role.

I agree. For now, Masood will suffice.

The only thing Rizwan is missing is the conversion rate.

I think he's a quality player, he just needs to start making those hundreds.

I would not mind him taking the opening slot in ODIs to be honest.

I think he is a good fit to replace Fakhar, opens up a slot down the order for someone to grab.

very hard to get 100s batting that low.

 

[adzzy786]

Did you watch Steve Smith dismissal today.

he doesn’t watch the games. Just looks at the scorecard

 

[Mainul]

I want to give this lad a few more series before conclusion about his batting. He has played 15 of his 33 test matches in Australia, England, New Zealand and SA.
Captaincy wise he is a lot better than Babar. But he underbowled a threatening Agha yesterday. That was a negative point. But it's his first series and in Australia. He has done well.

Mike Brierly a fantastic captain but a very limited batsman was hailed by England.

Maybe Shan with his impressive leadership qualities and pro active captaincy can be in the same category.

 

[Ilan Bluestone]

Truly one of the most absurd decisions making a player incapable of making the team and who virtually has zero success at the international level a captain.

 

[Technics 1210]

Good tactical decisions? Pakistan were fined 10% match fee for slow over rate.

Forget next reincarnation of Bradman, our captain has failed to prove himself to be an acceptable player at Test level.

To be rewarded with captaincy, you first have to prove yourself to be good enough to be an automatic choice on merit.

Masood has never done that. I cannot accept the corrupt decision of making this third rate player captain and I am sorry but I will raise my voice against it and so should every well-wisher of Pakistan cricket.

You as a well-wisher of Pakistan cricket? Fo'real? What happened to 'Pakistan deserve this humiliation?"

 

[Mamoon]

But then again, for the worst top-order batsman in Pakistan Test history (avg 28 after 33 Tests, an average of 30 in Australia would be considered a success.

No doubt Shan is an underachiever like many other Pakistani cricketers but which Pakistani opener has managed to maintained test average of above 40 in last 20 years? Azhar Ali had an average of 42, Hafeez 37 & Taufeeq Umar 38 and still these 3 never achieved anything substantial in test cricket because they all had limited calibre. Many openers were tried by management like Salman Butt, Khurram Mansoor, Imran Farhat, Sami Aslam, Fakhar Zaman but they all failed. Pakistan has produced very few proper test players after year 2000 and those were only Yusuf, Younis, Misbah & may be Azhar Ali & Asad Shafiq.

Indeed Pakistan has extremely poor record in Australia since 1999 test series but please understand Pakistan get limited opportunities in Australia. Australia is toughest team to beat in their own conditions. In comparison England has even worst record against Australia in last 30 years even though they play 5 match test series against Australia every alternate year at home & away. England lost 8 consecutive test series against Australia from 1989 till 2003. England & Australia has played 96 test matches since 1989 and out of which England have won only 23 & Australia defeated them 55 times. Australia defeated team like England by 4-0 in year 2022, 2018 & by 5-0 in 2014 & 2007 apart from many other humiliating defeats.

Shan is the best option to lead test at the moment

Shan Masood has the worst average for a top three batsman in Pakistan history (min 50 innings).

Imran Farhat, Yasir Hameed, Salman Butt and so forth. All these openers that were tried and failed were still better than Masood.

Masood is not an underachiever; he is just not good enough.

He is not the best choice for captaincy because he doesn’t even merit a place in the team.

 

[Savak]

Mamoon on his ruthless witch hunt against Masood. You know that Masood is the guy to captain Pakistan in the longer format of the game

Averaging 30 away from home is good enough atleast for this Pakistan team.

[Marooned]

Wut? Imam and ceiling don't go together.

Imam has as much ceiling as a qabar (grave)

 

[Aviator]

It amuses me that this guy have so many fans here who defends him with absurd logic. Sometimes makes me think masood has a paid PR team here... I see no reason anyone can support this mediocre player. No other team in world cricket will draft him in playing 11, forget about captaincy. But look at PCB, they have made him captain.. And even after getting whitewashed, poster here are suggesting that he should be retained just for his captaincy skills.. I mean what on earth?

My friend not sure about your basis for considering Yasir, Farhat & Butt better than Shan. Their overall average is marginally higher than Masood. In fact if you see below stats Shan's away average is better than these 3. In the current circumstances, I don't see anyone better than Shan for test captaincy. Originally he is an opener but he has let Imam & Abdullah opened in first 2 test and then Saim in 3rd test. We all know he is not the best batsman but at least he is trying to play more positive cricket with better SR. Yes, he has to play long innings otherwise like others he cannot survive for long. Probably he can come in middle order and score 70-80 quick runs

Shan Masood: 33 test, 4 100s & 9 50s. Scored 1 100 in England & Sri Lanka each & 2 in Pak, AVG: 28.67

Shan Avg @ Home 36.20, Away 30.27, Neutral: 20.37

Yasir Hameed: 25 test, 2 100s & 8 50s. Scored both 100s in one test match against Bang at Karachi, AVG: 32.41

Yasir Avg @ Home 43.23, Away 26.06

Imran Farhat: 40 test, 3 100s & 14 50s. Scored 1 100 in NZ, 1 against Ind at Lahore & 1 against SA at Faisalabad, AVG: 32

Farhat Avg @ Home 42.57, Away 27.52, Neutral: 30.83

Salman Butt: 33 test, 3 100s & 10 50s. Scored 2 100s in Aus, 1 against Eng at Multan, AVG: 30.46

Salman Avg @ Home 34.05, Away 26.57, Neutral: 53.25 (Only 2 test against Aus in Eng)

Changing Captain after every Australia test series will not change the fortune of the team. The root cause of this loss is horrible & irresponsible batting by main batsman like Shan, Babar, Imam, Saud, Abdullah, Sarfraz and pathetic fielding. You cannot win a test match without big partnerships & 100s. This cannot be improved by just changing the captain. Shan is not a solution but he is a massive upgrade from Babar & Azhar Ali. I don't think PCB has any other option at the moment

I am not against him being captain.. I am against his inclusion in team.

 

[I think therfore I am]

Pakistan need to play more tests. Shan needs some time to prove himself as a captain

 

[Kianig89]

So lots of time for next clutch given Pakistan next Test game is in August, Shan should actually start a poultry business to make up for lost time

many of you are coming on here saying we have lost this series and trying to put the blame on shan Masood for the loss
but not even one for you have given us the name of the captain who would have won this series for us

still waiting patiently for the name of the captain who would have won this series for pakistan...

I'll answer your reply here since the previous post I can't reply to, I'll also address shan as well.

When it comes to rizwan, he for some reason allowed usman Khan to keep and kept giving usman a push which I found weird since usman is a wk batsmen and silently threatens Rizwan's position with his 2 centuries this psl, however its now revealed that usman was not selected in the 25 camp and pcb is not considering him as he's going to play for uae for rizwan gave him a push cause usman is his player to win the psl, and usman isn't playing for Pakistan anyway so rizzu got nothing to fear.

Now when it comes to shan, why are posters saying you support shan? Did you really call him better then babar or the most improved player in Pakistan? I'll wait for your reply and then answer.

 

[mominsaigol]

Topspin and I use to have extremely similar lines of thinking so I can't imagine him supporting shan lol

He's possibly the worst cricketer to ever represent Pakistan as a captain tbh, and that's saying alot considering the captains we've had over the years.

Understood. Thanks for explaining.

It’s shocking to see Shan captaining a T20 franchise, and was opening as well. Salman Iqbal needs to be sent for a brain scan. Any franchise that drafts and appoints Masood as captain cannot be taken seriously.

Franchises are under pressure to appoint Mr. Zero Talent as captain because of his status as the Test captain.

It is utterly laughable but based on hierarchy, he is the most important cricketer in Pakistan right now.

However, it is possible that he doesn’t get picked at all next season. Reminds me of Azhar Ali captaining Lahore Qalandars and then going unsold the season after.

Hopefully Shan will be sacked as Test captain and also banished from the squad next year this time. His cheerleaders can console themselves by listening to his English interviews on YouTube @topspin.

It wasn’t Salman Iqbal. He doesn’t direct cricket decisions. The person who needs to be questioned is Haider Azhar. KK brought this guy in hoping he would turn them into a new Multan Sultans by creating a similar atmosphere revolving around a player similar to Rizwan.

The funny thing is, Multan wanted to retain Shan. He is good friends with Ali Tareen (owner of Multan) and he was the original captain of MS before they brought in Rizwan. Haider convinced Salman to get Shan in, remove Sharjeel/Amir/Imad and make Shan their captain. Sharjeel was kicked out so Shan can open the innings with an overseas. Imad was removed from captaincy and he is 10 times the player, fighter and leader than Shan is.

The guy that messed this franchise up is Haider Azhar

Karachi Kings was dead when Babar, who carried them on their back all those years and won them the PSL in 2020, left.

Imad’s garbage leadership was exposed last year when a Babar-less Karachi finished second from bottom.

Babar’s W/L ratio as captain without Imad in the team and Imad’s W/L ratio as captain without Babar in the team reveals everything.

Imad had the chance to prove last year that Karachi was about him and not but he failed the audition and showed that he couldn’t take Karachi anywhere without Babar.

Imad had to go, so did Sharjeel was a massive failure (pun intended) and Amir who was washed up as well. Karachi needed to refresh things but they shot themselves in the foot by investing in Masood and Malik who are the last players that you should bring in if your goal is to end the stagnation of your team.

Karachi is run by incompetent people and they have lost relevance after Babar. They either need new owners or the current owners need to hire a Director and give him complete autonomy and to do a factory reset and rebuild the franchise from scratch.

Karachi Kings was dead when Babar, who carried them on their back all those years and won them the PSL in 2020, left.

Karachi did exactly that this season. World doesn’t revolve around Babar. Peshawar Zalmi have won 2 games because of Powell, not Babar’s little 50s

It's quite funny Imad fans call Babar a softie etc while Imad a mentally strong beast, but the fact is it's because of Babar Imad is even relevant.

Can Imad fans please tell us why he's how he's a mentally strong beast and got winning mentality. When happened last year?

Babar has proved himself to be a class above every single opener this season and he has the highest SR in PP among all openers.

His quality batting and his great leadership is the reason why Zalmi is top of the table and they are the favorites to go all the way.

Let’s wait and see.

Moreover, the ICC T20 World Cup is also around the corner. Hopefully you are still a Babar fan by then too.

The Imad drama ended last year. He had a golden opportunity to prove that he wasn’t being carried by Babar and he failed with flying colors.

No wonder Karachi decided to boot him out.

Imad is a pathetic player, a pathetic captain and a toxic individual. Babar is far better than him in every aspect.

Imad is consumed by his own jealously and bitterness while Babar doesn’t even care about him.

Imad was getting booed off by the fans in Rawalpindi stadium even though he is their local player playing for their local team. It was the ultimate L for Imad and he has brought it on himself.

Can I ask you something? Because I'm kinda curious,

Why are fans comparing imad and Babar per say? Both are massively different players, one is an lower order all rounder and the other is a top order batsmen?

I don't get comments like "babar can never finish like Imad or Imad can't play innings like babar" when they have completly different roles?

Or are people comparing their captaincy skills?

Imad should be compared to other allrounders In Pakistan who act as finishers and Babar should be compared to other top order bats.

It's like trying to compare rohit and pandya and argue who's better? Both are different, one contributed with wickets and occasional slogging his way to finishing an innings and the other provides 9 rr starts. Massively different roles.

It’s as if the PSL now has become world cricket’s true definition

Boy, you guys are in for a HUGE reality check in the World Cup.

 

[Mamoon]

Babar will score runs but I don’t know how Pakistan will fare. After all, the whole nation was adamant that his captaincy was the main blocker, so I guess Pakistan is now certain to win the World Cup.

Imad lives rent free in Babar’s cult fans minds.

He doesn’t praise him in interviews. Speaks straight up facts about his selfish demeanour.

Babar is zimbabar for a very good reason. He can only play for himself.

As I said brother, you need to keep that Peshawar Zalmi gimmick support for Babar then too.

The guys who do not like Babar for his selfishness in Pakistan colours will not ever praise him for whatever he does in franchise cricket which means zilch.

I won't be entertaining a poster who thinks Imad is better than Babar.

I see, I'm still wondering why the hate for imad(babar cults) and the hate for babar(anti babar agenda groups)

Babar is a good player but a trash captain and his results in wc 2023 show for it, as a batsmen he while is a great player, was more skin to yousaf or Joe root(prime) where he tends to score soft runs consistently and rely on others to get him through.

Imad is miles better then any of our pseudo allrounders like shadab or nawaz who were single handidely the 2 worst allrounders in asia cup and world cup, both stats wise and his visual performance wise, but imad himself isn't per say great, he's a decent finisher but no where near world class and as a bowler, unless he's opening the bowling, oppositions figure him out quickly.

He's still a better bowler and bat then nawaz tbf.

This part I 100% agree with. It happened in world cup 2023 as well.

Psl has never been a metric to define Pakistan success.

He’s the worst captain in the history of Pakistan at world cups. He took exactly the squad he wanted to take. He had an embarrassing run in the Asia cup before the World Cup too.

For @Mamoon ‘s sake. I will pray especially in this Ramadhan that may God enable Babar to return as the captain of Pakistan for the ICC mens t20 World Cup and ICC champions Trophy

The intention behind my prayer is that I want this absolutely cleared to those who still believe he is hard done by to once again witness the embarrassment that comes with this man leading Pakistan cricket

InshaAllah, this is a humiliation that we now truly deserve.

Agreed a nothing player like Imad thinks he's a superstar. A pathetic player in every aspect. Why would Babar even care about a guy who is not good enough to tie his shoelaces?

That last paragraph is just embarrassing for any sportsman let alone being made fun of by your own fans. The silence from his fans regarding the last paragraph is quite funny. Not a single word about the utter humiliation he has received from his home fans. This is what I call justice. Next time Imad won't be talking rubbish well at least if he has any shame he won't. Then again we are talking about Imad.

I agree Babar is already a great of Pakistan while Imad is mocked by his home crowd.

It's not a comparison in any sense. Imad is rightly compared to all rounder and we see a nothing cricketer like shadab is miles ahead of him.
