Why do Pakistan cricket fans mock terms like “Intent” and “Modern day cricket”?

[Devadwal]

Where is Devdas? Sab se Zyada Chawwaliya maar raha tha!

136 of IPL superstars chased in 13.1 overs by PSL benchwarmers

Aisi waisi chitrol?

After the Bangladesh Series ( In Pakistan) you said same things like we have fearless players aka second coming of inzy but we have seen how your tullebaaz Surrendered in Asia cup against India thrice. Even your overhyped second coming of inzy dropped.

This is your delusional level.

If somebody does not remember, Farhan has a SR of 126 with 46% dot ball , how does that sells as intent merchant

How does a sr of 90 and 100 in the T20 World Cup sell as a 80s nostalgia merchant

Look at what the PP batting has been since Farhan became a top order player & compare it with RizBabar’s showings in the PP then we can discuss.

power play strike rate difference between 2024 & 2025. Pakistan is poor in both 2024 & 2025. If anything worse in 2025. You have to analyze why it is low and why it is worse with impartiality. There has to be a reason.You play the team you wish to play. But you still have to analyze. You cannot ignore it just because your favorites are playing. Australa also has negtaive improvement. But they went from 165 to 152 which is still amazing PP strike rate.

So.much for being intent merchant, we ate regressing but some lunatics are hell bent on proving it

@Rana ye hai tumhare intent merchent that too without Rizbar. Now go and hide somewhere as usual

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you take a stab, frequent collapses? poultry farm run by saim ayub, dot balls of Farhan.. there are a few reasons why Pakistan despite "looking to " accelerate end up having a low strike rate in PP.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is death over strike rate for pakistan year over year. I think they have to combine all the resources available and get the best out of each. Clearly there is room for improvement. In T20 you cannot give "run" . That format is not meant for giving runs. You just have to hit the strap and running. It is a game of form. Form players have to play. For instance SKY should be left out from Indian side despite tremendous career record. Because he is not in form. ONly reason he is there because he can take pressure of captaincy from youngsters. This is why it is shocking to see someone with zero credentials as T20 batsman is leading Pakistan.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One of the most consistent aspect in otherwise inconsistent unit is Mohammad nawaz contribution with bat in death overs

2024 - 20 balls 46 runs 230.00 strike rate
2025 - 97 balls 171 runs 176.28 strike rate

Although yet to be tested in various conditions he is servicable for 2026 world T20 as it is happening in SL for Pakistan. They can use him up the order and break the pattern.

He is certainly more useful than the likes of Haider and Khushdil in that lower middle order and on his day he can be a match winner with the bowl as well.

They could have given him a run at 3 to utilize power play as lofts and slashes are natural shots for him. These things you experiment in bilaterals.

That's not gonna happen. There are already too many openers playing in the team which would surely not wiling to bat after Nawaz.

 

[Rana]

No sane person would mock these terms

Ab aaya na line pe?

 

[Rana]

Because they have no intent besides the one which resolves around lying down on the cot all day with a cup of desi tea, in white salwar kameez I may add (which they will complain about getting dirty after a hike through the local jungle).

I’m with you on this. It seems like laziness and a lack of improving lifestyle is a cultural issue. It reflects through the paindus who mock ‘intent’.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Nobody mocks these terms.. Mocking is for the players who are thought to be the intent merchant but in reality, they are just similar, actually worse than the current lot...

There is a difference.
