Bro if only he had the Australian system behind him. Otherwise he’s too young, too classy to be going out this early in the tournament
 
Just listened to this guy’s latest Podcast with Zalmi. They asked him to name his T20 world XI

This is what he picked

1. Rohit
2. Rizwan
3. Fakhar
4. Sky

I just think this guy is extremely dense and doesn’t understand cricket at all.
That is a solid top 4.

Rizbar fans be like: we blame Imad Wasim. He Scarred Babar for life with that interview he did.

Won't be long until #BlameImad is trending on X. I think Major will get on to this first, like he did with that thread when Imad had that cig in last year's final.

:ROFLMAO:
 
This guy has been playing for a decade and captaining for 6 years and he still has zero cricketing IQ and he just goes by his typical clueless instinct. There is no thought process behind anything he does as a player or as a captain. You can give this guy the strongest bunch of talented players and he will still screw up the team with his clueless captaincy, decisions
 
PZ is ranked no 5 and is virtually out of the tournament?
Poor recruitment. Zalmi has been on a downward spiral ever since Javed Afridi lost interest in PSL after PCB’s lack of efforts to host matches in Peshawar.

However, things will change next year. Zalmi will be back with a bang.

Is there something on the cards that will make re-invigorate Afridi's interest?

Yes, he has been receiving personal messages from disappointed Zalmi fans for quite some time. Major changes are coming.
 
Zalmi needs to change their coaching set up. Far too many similar names and its not like that the likes of Mohd Akram and co have not been failures, yes Zalmi has qualified for the playoffs but that has been their ceiling and this is the first time they failed to qualify.

Also they need to make someone else the captain. I can understand the fan following Babar brings as a player but the guy is a panoti captain.
 
Wouk Zalmi have won the PSL with this team?

1. Head ✈️
2. Saim
3. Babar (c)
4. Talat
5. Klaasen ✈️
6. Sadaqat
7. Samad
8. Joseph ✈️
9. Wood ✈️
10. Raza
11. Muhammad Ali

Knowing Babar, he would have opted to open first with Head at 3 initially.

Naw Head isn't that stupid. Head would demand captaincy for KK and would demand an extremely high price outside of PSL budget.

He's basically the star attraction of IPL. You'd have to bend life and limb yo get him and meet all his demands. He'd never let babar captain over him.
 
Babar's 94 was the only good inning in this PSL. This should not be enough for him to even get into any discussion for a comeback...

Not gonna select him for a few more series and let's see.
 
Babar Azam wasn’t featured in the recent PCB’s Eid special show, where Mohammad Haris, Salman Ali Agha, Saim Ayub, Faheem, and Sahibzada were present.

Given his stature in Pakistani cricket, his absence feels unexpected. Whether intentional or not, but it does give a feeling that PCB might have moved on from his hype...NO??

If PCB had moved on from him, he wouldn't be retained in Category A.

And yes hes in category A. Its not a rumor or report. Momin spreads accuracy and the truth.

PCB has tried with all their ability to make a brand out of him, to hype him, and to artificially elevate him among the best players in the world. Just look at the type of tracks they prepared at home just to help him score lots and lots of runs. They aren't going to give up so easily.​

I don't mind that pcb curated tracks for him. If Bcci did that for sachin(not saying they would) but if they did i wouldnt mind either as you want your ace to score the most.

England have defo done it for root.

My issue is how much can you possibly Baby one player?

Even on extremely flat tracks he got outperformed by every tom dick and Harry possible. The tracks that he avg 70 on, usman khawaja averaged 105 with Brooks Bradman avg 150+.

For root England have curated seam tracks since he loves to play that dab shot in test and get runs, it also explains why Australia is the only country hes poor in since the bounce doesnt allow him to play it and get easy runs against pacers. However since root is so good against pace(excluding aus) other batters struggle and he looks good in comparison.

But for Babar what track do you even curate for him that ensures he'll perform and others won't?
