What is exactly going on with Babar Azam?

[Kianig89]

Fans are waiting for a classic Babar 100, come on tomorrow should be the day to do it

He needs a big innings to get his confidence back and a 100 would surely do it for him.

 

[salman24]

I think one 100 will bring him back mentally.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

50* up for Babar Azam today against Sri Lanka in 2nd ODI at Rawalpindi, can he turn it into 100?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Form is permanent. Class is permanent when it comes for Bazam.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Yes. He can score a 130 ball 100 and win this match alongside Rizwan

He has a great chance to do that today. Can’t get a more halwa attack than this.

 

[JattMaula]

Don’t call it a comeback
He’s been here for years!
Babar’s cover-drives
Still bring bowlers to tears.

Been quiet for a while,
But now the King’s back swinging,
Three long years later
And the bat keeps singing!

They said he lost touch,
They said the form was gone,
But he walked out calm
Like “I’ll show you how it's done.”

Straight drives glowing,
Late cuts flowing,
Scoreboard moving
Cause the King’s still growing.

Don’t call it a comeback
Call it a reminder:
Form is temporary,
But class? That’s kinder.

Century on the board
And the crowd’s gone wild,
Babar back in beast mode
Never stopped being poster child.

So write it in the headlines,
Put it loud and clear:
“The King didn’t return…
He just shifted the gear!”

 

[Theo_14]

Actually sad to see him getting a 100 after such a long time. Completely opposite of the career trajectory that we once anticipated.

 

[JaDed]

Damn did he equal Virat’s 83?

Mourning day declared tomorrow for @Rana and gang

He has got his 100 now expect some more good scores from him in the next few matches.

Why do you think people will mourn a 100 in a bilateral series vs Sri Lanka.

It's a good knock.

But not life changing.

And it doesn't change the fact that he sucks under pressure and is mostly mediocre.

This guy is crying while typing this lol

Still better than the attack india face in SL in their Last ODI series. Whitewashed and couldn't chase 220 like totals.

Everyone know Babar scores runs against week attacks in bilaterals. Is it really such a surprise and big achievement for Babar fans that you are chest thumping to such an extent?

Really? Is this your standard?

Yes but he was flopping against US and even minnows so its a relief for many he scored a century , good for the forum many old users coming back..

Almost like those pitches were different.

He will still flop against them if it's a world cup or some other important matches. He is the bilateral king.

He was flopping so long as it was the season of different cups. Now bilaterals are back so he is back.

 

[tiger_khan]

A century against any proper test playing nation in any format is an achievement

I am glad for Babar. I wish him well. Hopefully the end of this drought will bring back some consistency in him.

He should concentrate on his performances now rather than expecting "loyalty" from Pak cricket fans


He has made us lose a lot of games because of his poor performances in recent years. Him demanding loyalty is a bit too rich.

Just concentrate on your batting in conditions without dew rather than criticizing the Pak cricket fans who want the team to win.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Babar Azam 2.0

 

[Dr_Bassim]

This guy is crying while typing this lol

Lol.

Still less than the gushing waters that are flowing from your happy wet face.

Sad day for @Dr_Bassim as King and Kaptaana roared back into form. Social media is already trending. The haters wanted RizBar to fail but the Almighty who has blessed these 2 beyond the ordinary had other plans.

 

[heddie19]

King Babar. That's it

 

[Rana]

ZimBabar. That's it

Yes bro.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Wow. Look who is back after 83 innings! Haha

 

[BouncerGuy]

RIZBABAR once again... LOL

Stop crying, guys... stop crying... I know you guys had a long sleepless night filled with tears but it is what it is... Allah has given them respect, guys like you and me are nobodies to take it away or give it...

Babar's century might give you tears but it is Pakistan that won in the end...

 

[Josh]

Big congratulations to all Babar supporters and cover-drive fans! This is your moment—enjoy it! I’ve even got the song “This Is the Moment” by Henry Olonga (A former member of Babar’s favourite team) playing in the background.

 

[Kianig89]

Some lunatics want him to be replaced with Shaibzada Farhan

 

[BouncerGuy]

It is not like Babar has done something out of this world... It was just another inning that will give him confidence because people were after him for many years for his failures, now he scored a hundred, which could be a confidence booster for Babar... His best format is ODI and he needs to perform... That is what he did.

 

[Sachin fan]

How is scoring a 100 on a flat pitch against a weak attack in a bilateral any sort of answer to Babar's critics?

His critics always admitted Babar could score against weak attacks in meaningless bilaterals.

How does that prove he won't go missing again in important tournaments?

Babar is doing what he was always doing in his career. Such innings are NOT answers to any critics. So all the name calling etc is hilarious when Babar has not done anything new and this was not the chief criticism against him anyways.

The reason people were asking for new players is because they are tired of the same result in big cups. Not everyone is happy with medicocrity and just winning bilaterals against weak teams. So they hope change might at least help in different results in big cups.

Have you actually seen the replacements they want for Babar , they won't walk into any top associate side

 

[Rana]

His replacements play cricket and have more chance of getting into top sides of cricket teams.

You suggested they play football

First learn the difference between the two sports.

ENOUGH
