Why doesn't Kami move his feet, this something you yell at the under 12s for

Yes!

Badree is on my team.

Not sure why they sent in Imad tho. He's not a specialist bat. Damn he's in my fantasy team too.

I took out Badree from my team a few minutes before the game. I had him for the first 2 games but he didn't do much.

Well, there goes my #1 spot.

I wonder what the think tank was 'thinking'.

I didn't mind that, given how slowly we've been starting in the Powerplay this series sending Imad as a pinch hitter made sense. Unfortunately the move didn't pay off - but good to see flexibility in our T20 batting lineup for once.
 
Kamran was never really a strike rotator, just wants to bludgeon boundaries.

Left hand right hand combo I presume

Either way it was crazy, if they wanted a left hander should have sent zaman

These experiments are important. It was not just left/right but pinch hitter to get boost, we use to do all the time in late 90s and 2000s, that's how we got Afridi and Razaq. Immad and Shadab should be used in that role both in T20 and ODIs. We cannot be very one dimensional team. They will develop as well.

You need to create power hitters. Pinch hitting is different from late order hitting. There is less pressure, less fielders outside the ring, harder bowl. In last year we had Sharjeel but now top order is dried up. Pinch hitting is one way to get runs in PP.
 
Who's idea was to promote Imad?

If you wanted a lefty, then why not Zaman?

Stupid move

Sending in Fakhar made more sense to be honest. Imad was bound to fail against spin.

Days of pinch hitting is over, everyone should be able to do that job

I get why for this series , as they have no one else, but Pakistan have to get guys like Naved Malik in the team
 
Chucker into the attack.

How Kesric hasn't been reported yet is beyond me.
 
When your playing at a lower strike rate than Kami Uncle then there's an issue
 
Braithwaite could have been much more, injuries have ruined him.

He was very quick before his injuries, unfortunately had to shorten his runup after injuries and consequently lost pace.

This is one way to produce power hitters, we are not like WI, where everybody can hit boundaries.

I would like to see these experiments in ODIs too, send power hitter when ball is hard, around 6/7 over mark. Back them up, they will develop better players.
 
If Babar Azam is to become a top batsman in the world, he really needs to improve against spin bowling . .
