What is exactly going on with Babar Azam?

[salman24]

Why hasn’t he done it already?

Because he knows just to hold on for some local coach to be made in charge and getting him back into the team as an opener.

He will be back as Opener. Scored two 100s already and will probably score the most runs in any PSL ever.

I’m waiting for him to come back as an opener

It was getting quite boring with all of you cockroaches hiding in the woodwork

Against who? I didn’t you see doing any Bhangra when Hassan Nawaz and Haris scored 40 ball hundreds vs Bangladesh in INTERNATIONAL matches.

At that time it was “oh it’s only Bangladesh”

Well I’ll say “oh it’s only a gully danda attack”

Babar Azam is dominating the news.

Balls/6 Babar

2022 145
2023 39
2024 33.5
2025 32
2026 26


26 is still fairly high. It should be under 15.

You see that's a lie. Please prove with actual posts. I'm not a blend hater or follower I appreciate all players when they do well. Don't have an agenda like you guys

I know you guys have very limited cricket knowledge. He hits a a lot of 4s which more than makes up for it.

 

[pakistani pride]

Business will be back to usual once he plays proper bowlers in T20Is. Just look at the bowlers he faced today. PSL as a whole has been very low level in terms of quality.

His /2024, 2025 and 2026 Balls/4 is more or less the same. 6.7 vs 6.6 vs 6.33. Not sure what he added then in that area. If anything he had better balls/4 in 2024 than this year.

Ok great, since you’re so fair, you’d agree - both Hassan Nawaz and Haris should be higher in the pecking order because they’ve performed at a higher level.

Thanks for your bold stance

 

[Josh]

If Babar is scoring with this rate in every PSL match, there is some issue with the bowling in Pakistan.

 

[ElRaja]

mixture of weakening standards of psl and bobsy getting some confidence back. given his horror show in the BBL, id take this with a bucket of salt. if hes back in form in red ball, and odis, then maybe there might be more to it.

He seems to score consistently in the PSL anyway tbh even when he was in his worst form.

It’s the pitches as well.

I don’t know how hard he works behind the scenes, generally when you begin to score heavily in red ball then we’re seeing the fruits of some technical adjustment.

This could just be a case of him going back to his old technique without trying to be too clever & feasting on some jobber bowling attacks in friendly conditions.

In the recent WC he was forcing his hand and trying different grips which didn’t work for him.

It’s good news for ODI’s if he got his confidence back but no way he should be anywhere near the national T20 side & in red ball cricket - there’s a lot more to do & the PSL in isolation should never be used as leverage.

Time for Rana to hide now.

 

[heddie19]

If Babar is scoring with this rate in every PSL match, there is some issue with the bowling in Pakistan.

If there is an issue with the bowling standards, why isn't any better local or foreign able to score as much as Babar. Why Babar is always, always amongst the highest run getters? Because he is an extremely elite batter. Babar has more runs in 1 innings than your T20i captain in the whole season. Let this sink in.

 

[Rana]

Time for Rana to hide now.

Why? It’s blatantly obvious Babar is a crap T20 batter no matter what he does.

With an SR of 128 in international T20 cricket?

 

[SportsWarrior]

when people select their world XI in future Babar won't even make it to C teams. it will be full of Indian and Aus/SA/Eng Players.

 

[Hitman]

Why would any T20 World XI C team feature a player with an SR of 128? That SR is not worth even if the batsman averages 60.​

 

[BouncerGuy]

Why? It’s blatantly obvious Babar is a crap T20 batter no matter what he does.

If babar is crap, what is Salman? Saim? and other intent merchants????


13 centuries... we will compare when someone reaches that milestone. until then, there is no match.

We have better batters now than Salman and Saim, who have bombed spectacularly in the PSL aswell.

Only Farhan, Fakhar and to a certain extent, Usman, have been successful from our World Cup batting line-up. Can’t count Babar as he is not playing at 4 in the PSL.

Saim opens and he should be replaced by Babar. Fakhar can play at 3... Salman should be dropped... simple

Can try Sameer Minhas

Babar has had his chances

 

[BouncerGuy]

Can try Sameer Minhas

We have a habit of bringing raw players and then discarding them in case they fail in 1-2 games... Sameer is a good talent and he is getting noticed. Good for him but he has to get some domestic expereince so that he can get used to different difficult situations.

 

[the Great Khan]

Makes no difference. Babar can score a billion centuries. Hell he could score for the first team and Pakistan will still not win anything. I hate to inform this young generation but youll have to wait for many many years before you see a successful Pakistan side. If ever.

Babar has had many opportunities. Now it’s time to give others a chance. With the T20 World Cup still two years away, the next year should be used to give chances to youngsters and players who performed in the PSL. If they don’t succeed, then you can always go back to Babar.

 

[sithb]

If they don’t succeed, then you can always go back to Babar.

He's still only 17 or was it only Afridi that it was supposed to refer to ?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Farhan and Maaz to open, with Fakhar to come at 3.

Babar is irrelevant in T20s now.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Farhan and Maaz to open, with Fakhar to come at 3.

Babar is irrelevant in T20s now.

The Islamabad United attack against which Babar scored a century is a very ordinary attack.

Imad, Green, & Shadab are all mediocre or past their prime bowlers & Green was never even selected consistently for Australia. Gleeson played like 4 or 5 years ago & was their best bowler while Fahim Ashraf & Salman Mirza are not international class bowlers.

Ngarawa, Brad Evens, Muzarabani, Sikandar, Cremer, & Burl (if needed) are a much better bowling lineup.

Our people have a habit of living like a sin wave, first comes over the top hype cycle then comes the over emotional depression crest.

Babar isn't the worst batter that we have produced but he's far from the standard that is there for T20 cricket now.

Shadab Faheem and Salman. This was half of Paks attack in wc.
Simply say Pak doesnt have talent and he is the best talent we have doesnt matter how mediocre he is.

 

[Rana]

Shadab Faheem and Salman. This was half of Paks attack in wc.

What??

@Sachin fan

First we heard Babar was batting at 3 by the Kiani…

Now this joker claims Shadab, Faheem and Salman is half of Pakistan’s attack

 

[Hyder]

What??

@Sachin fan

Salman mirza was one of the two main pacers of pak team.
Shadab was one of the 2 allrounders.
Faheem was the only pace allrounder.

What are you smoking. Faheem didnt bowl much but that was due to saim bowling well.

All 3 of them were first choice players when wc started.

 

[salman24]

Ok great, since you’re so fair, you’d agree - both Hassan Nawaz and Haris should be higher in the pecking order because they’ve performed at a higher level.

Thanks for your bold stance

Can you back that with stats. Haris has performed better? He palyed a good knock yesterday

Hasan Nawaz started off well and deserved to play more but hew wasn't perfect.

I think Hasan Nawaz should be in the team. Haris is debatable but neither are competing for a spot against Babar.

Nawaz is now a middle order player and Haris is the Keeper.

 

[salman24]

His /2024, 2025 and 2026 Balls/4 is more or less the same. 6.7 vs 6.6 vs 6.33. Not sure what he added then in that area. If anything he had better balls/4 in 2024 than this year.

I wasn't talking about him vs himself. It's when comparing to people you claim hit more sixes than him. He makes up for it with other boundaries is the point.

How thick is your head dear rondu brother.

Salman mirza
Shaheen
Shadab

Saim

This was paks attack at the start of wc. If you still cant see this and cry like a baby i have no choice but to refer you to neurology dept.

Or you can come to Pakistan and i ll treat you the way such patients need to be treated.

Imad ko to ham dekhty b nai ap fan girl banay raho uskay

What was his score against Netherlands bowling attack?

 

[RahulBose]

If there is an issue with the bowling standards, why isn't any better local or foreign able to score as much as Babar. Why Babar is always, always amongst the highest run getters? Because he is an extremely elite batter. Babar has more runs in 1 innings than your T20i captain in the whole season. Let this sink in.

So the logic is Babar need to be just better than the worst performing Ind Player?

No wonder babar fans have spoiled a good batsmen.

 

[RahulBose]

If babar is crap, what is Salman? Saim? and other intent merchants????


13 centuries... we will compare when someone reaches that milestone. until then, there is no match.

Why is centuries even a thing in T20.

Even a high strike rate batter is done by the time he reaches 80+.

strike rate should be the only criteria in T20.

 

[sithb]

Can there be a babar azam superthread.

All the arguments in all the threads are on the same points.

 

[sithb]

SKY shouldn't be in the T20 team anymore. That's given. But babar should never have been in the T20 teams in the first place.
