Why has PCB not acknowledged Mohammad Rizwan yet?

Why can't rizwan learn to play offside? I just don't get the point of taking 2 steps forwards and lunging it.

Leg side bully

Can’t do Jack all on 4th/5th stump

Was nothing against Mark Adair (the only decent bowler Ireland had)

Hasn’t improved his off-side game where teams have worked him out

strike rate of 147 on this track and boundary dimensions. Typical rubbish player

He was striking at 220+ in the powerplay and hit 3 sixes then. Didn't you want batters to play like this in the PP?
 
Gem of a player pathetic safraz eat quarter of his career. Gun player in all formats heavy scorer in NZ Aus tours wer rest flopped ..
 
If Rizwan is sincere in his role as a wicket keeper batter, I really hope he continues to excel and improve.

Because he won’t come out of his comfort zone. Ever.

Let’s see which decent side feeds him military medium pace on a length within the stumps going forward

Yes but against good teams, not against 115kph pacers on 40 meter boundaries. The bowlers run up was nearly the entire god damn boundary pitch?

Credit to rizwan though for showing intent this series where he usually doesn't so atleast an improvement on that front.

On the other hand saim was a failure through and through. Regardless I hope for your sake he can replicate this against england. If I find another asia cup repeat, another Misbah bashing is coming straight up.

Sarfraz ate quarter of his career? Rizwan made his debut a year later, then when sarfi became mainstream inn2014.

In 2014 sarfraz had been the highest scorer in both avg and sr in the Australian odi series and in test he'd been the star keeper after that Australian 100 on uae?

Then he made a wc 100 while rizwan throughout 2015 and 2016 didn't kick off and had zero notable innings, infact in 2016 afridi even had rizwan mainstay over sarfi for a while and after failing rizzu was rightfully dropped?

Rizzu didn't do anything until 2019 with those 2 hundred against c string Australia, however sarfraz had an amazing t20 record as captain? Their was no way he'd have replaced sarfraz in those 4 years, again based of what does he replace?

He became mainstay in 2020. Also rizwan had been playing for 4 years and he can play for 10 more. I wouldn't call that a quarter of his career.

If rizzu wanted to be mainstay, he should have taken the opportunity in 2016 when afridi did safarish over him.

Rizwan destroyed Pakistan cricket. He had no business playing T20 cricket.

Well done Sarfaraz for keeping out this fraud T20 player and maintaining a phenomenal record as captain.

Well done Imad for not playing this fraud and winning the PSL with him on the bench!

Sarfi didn't keep him out, infact afridi in 2016 gave an entire series to rizwan to become mainstay over sarfi and rizzu failed miserably because the dude is clueless batting in the middle order in t20
 
Need more of this intent from Rizwan. Interested to see how he does against England. There's no excuse for not performing when you're in good nick.

Wait when did I rejoice about his failure in the first game? I don't recall that, could you tag the post on that?

I maintain my stance and it is firm. In t20 rizwan is garbage batting first, although tbf the whole team is but ever since this opening duo was established in 3 years Pakistan doesn't even have a single 200 score batting first for 3 years and has amongst the lowest Sr's in PP. They average 163 for 6 in t20 batting first while Australia despite not even playing full strength and having a garbage 2022 wc still avg 186 for 5 batting first.

Rizwan chasing wise is good against teams putside India and Australia. He can chase well against england if he can handle Archer and rasheed and he can change well against NZ too. SA is a poor chasing team so SA is the only team Pakistan beats while batting first.

Yes this part I agree with. Misbah bashing in white ball cricket is now and forever endless from me. Its not am obsession, it comes as naturally to me as breathing. Moron should have done the deed and respectfully retired in 2013 after ct fail in whiteball or taken the azhar ali route before azhar was made captain aka play the Indian 2012 series and them never play odi again and only focus on test.

If he had done so then he'd be remembered for beating India at home and winning asia cup.

Not for Ct 2013 to world cup 2015 and then his iconic coaching career.

Just because Waseem Khan knew who to hire when it came to building a PR image for Rizwan, and journalists who pushed a narrative to make him look like Gilchrist/Dhoni of Pakistan….yeah no!

@BouncerGuy

Aka Rizwan= Best wK batsmen for pakistan all time and best t20 opener for pakistan all time.

Babar= Best Pakistani batter for pakistan ever

Chacha = The famous finisher for pakistan

Shadab and Nawaz = The iconic Match winners for pakistan.

And current irfan Khan niazi and Jahndad khan are having the PR of being the successors to chacha and becoming the next so called famous finishers.

Basically SNGPL rules. Now if you wanna know why this PR image was built, read my previous posts.

This is laughable.

Despite scoring 2 fantastic ODI hundreds against Australia in 2019, it was not until 2021 when Rizwan became a regular for Pakistan. I reckon PCB wasted his 2 years. Even now he is treated like a sautelaa beta when it comes to the captaincy race. Rizwan is an outsider who continues to outperform almost everyone in the Pakistan team and the mafia continues hard to sideline this champion.

Rizwan is AN OUTSIDER? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You guys don't bother doing any research, and even if you do, you view it with boased lenses lol.

In 2019 he scored against a c side Australia on a road pitch where even Imam was king of scoring. The truth was he had no place in the squad at that time.

He wasnt a no 7 or lower order, and his competiton was Haris sohail who was Pakistan’s best Middle order batter. Their was no way he could have replaced haris especially when haris played a key role in helping pakiatan beat NZ on a difficult pitch. They were worlds apart. He did not deserve a spot at no 4 over him at that time.

Hafeez and malik at 5 and 6 provided bowling options and hafeez was peak confident with ct 2017 performance dueing said era.

As for OUTSIDER, you've literally given him opening in t20 after he consistently failed at no 4 in t20 even dueing the aussie tri series, He did nothing in the middle order to warrant that position but you gave it to him?

Then you replaced Agha who was averaging 50 and sr of 97 in the NZ series for rizzu at 4 because he complained to the media saying mein khush nahi hoon at no 5?

Then in test you gave him free rides until he was dropped for poor form, He got his position back after sarfi failed and then performed, Again nothing wrong with that but you guys were complaining that he got dropped? Why? He deserved it at that time.

How on earth is he treated like an OUTSIDER when he gets what he wants even over players who avg and sr better at those numbers?

If rizwan and babar want to end the criticism once and for all, Then start winning games.

2019 NZ game, 2021 India and 2023 wc sri lanka game can't be your only portfolio if you're ranked no 1-5 across the world and are called kings or bradman.

Theirs a reason fakhar doesn't get critisized nearly as much as these 2.
 
His overly religious sermons might be the reason why the PCB has avoided him so far. He has always outperformed Babar in difficult situations.

Don’t even care about winning matches mate. Their fans need to come with terms with reality.

I really like Saim Ayub, I want him to do well and change the horizon of Pakistan cricket’s batting. Do you see me jumping up and down as if it’s my shadi with him scoring a 50 against Bangladesh? It means Jack all to me.

There will be plenty of real tests going forward.
 
After this test match, he has emerged as the strongest candidate for being the all format captain of Pakistan
 
Why are Indian cricket fans so eager for him to become Pakistan all format captain? Are we not a joke already?

Patriot Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Arei bhai, The true Patriot is fakhar Zaman and Sarfraz, these 2 have been the most wholesome cricketers in the past era that Pakistan has had.

All the rest like Amir, Imad, Babar, Rizwan, Abdullah and whoever else has some sort of underlying motivation or have issues.

Same with past players like misbah, Afridi, Younis etc. Not sure about saud currently as he's yet to be in such a situation where I can see his true colors but we'll see time will tell.

Sarfraz and Fakhar are the only 2 ik who's true colors are to support Pakistan. Especially fakhar zaman who's shariff and Patriotic for hie country. Sarfi is patriotic but he does get angry and can get emotional to opposition teams ans his own team.

But only these 2 have actually played for the crest on their chest.

Azhar Ali is also one of them in the sense that he is shariff but he does tend to mostly care about himself and his own game and not about the team in general but atleast he verbally admitted it and showed his true colors are test cricket and trying his best if asked but otherwise he doesn't care too much.

Cricketers who were truly patriotic with no internal agenda for pakistan

1) Umar Gul

2) Fakhar Zaman

3) Sarfraz Ahmed

Maybe some 1990 players of the past as well, but since I started watching cricket only these 3 were what you call 100% patriotic and genuine.

All the rest from shaheen, To Afridi to akmal to shehzad to Misbah, to Shan to rizwan etc etc all have some sort of internal nonsense and you can find skeletons in the closet.

Granted it varies ofcourse, Someone like Mohammad yousaf doesn't have that many issues or problems as someone like Umar akmal or rizwam but you get the issue

Being a good man is irrelevant. Everyone is a good man to some and a villian to others. It's impossible to appease everyone as unless you're a serial killer or go into extremities everyone falls into a grey area of morality. That's how human beings are in general.

So if he's a good man to you kudos, but perceptions will vary.

As for him loving his country, Again it depends on what context?

Does he love his country enough that he wants to play for pakistan, Wants to be clean and avoid spot fixing, wants to get runs and score and win cups for his team? Ofcourse who doesn't? Even Shan does?

But he's not beyond backstabbing others like agha/ saud at no 4 to demand his spot or beyond shoving fakhar away and alongside misbah demotivate falhar to ensure his own place as an opener, nor is he beyond forcing tail enders to play most deliveries as long as he stat pads his own score.

yes hes willing to play for his country and hes good in some areas BUT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, KEY WORD A CERTAIN EXTENT. At the end of the day his truencolors are that of caring for himself.

People don't understand that cricket is a historic sport, you are representing your country, you have been chosen to do so. You chose this path. If you don't like it, then maybe you should have become a tax accountant instead.

Just like a Military man is expected to die in the line of duty for his country, a cricketer should be willing to do whatever is best for his country, even if it means stepping down or punching > your weight or being in situations you do not like.

You ruin that the moment you say " Mein no 4 pei kush nahi hoon, or stopping the game every 10 seconds because you see an imaginary glare on the side screen".

My point was, human beings are grey in general. Even Islam, Christianity or whatever religion you guys follow(maybe I'm wrong, I don't know about every religon) claims and knows full well that human beings are generally grey, Which is why Allah/ God is the most merciful and moat forgiving and pretty much forgives anything and everything that doesn't involve murder or lifetime physical/emotional harm.

You can be a good man, good lover, good son sure whatever. But none of this classifies you as some sort of genuine jesus. Most people are fake are in general and naturally put themselves first in some way shape or form

Even past legends for pakistan, Inzi, Yk, Miandad have done so.

As I said only Sarfi, Umar gul and fakhar are outliers.

However the Issue with Rizwan is that he overdoes it x100. Someone like Misbah would get annoyed when asked to open or asked about bi's coaching skills,

YK behind the camera was a nightmare to deal with etc etc and only truly cared about himself which is why he dis what he did in 2015 wc etc etc.

Rizwam overdoes it. Dude has no filter on his mouth and blatantly causes problems whereas even the others did so in a subtle manner.

The best analogy I can give is

If Misbah hates someone, He will politely refuse to engage ans ahow disdain

If rizwan hates someone, He will shove a cup of water on their face and cause an entire fuss and will get into a wwe match, which he'll obviously lose badly.

In some cases you have to be fake rather then genuine. For example in job interviews or let's say you do not like your boss at work, You obviously cannot go and insult them lol.

However rizzu is next level nonsense that you just can't take. He's on the extreme

In cricket you play as a team. You guys don't get it lol
 
Rizwan annoys me, but he's undeniably Pakistan's best player. In fact, he's the only one who puts up a fight when the chips are down. Unlike Babar Azam, he maximises his (limited) talent.

He isn't captaincy material, but then nor is anyone else. Might as well give him a try and hope Kirsten/Gillespie can keep a lid on the off-pitch politics.

He and chacha left the team to score 60 of 24, rahnei dei bhai, even commentators and analyst don't support you here. Everyone agrees it was a botch
 
He is not a good t20 batsman and he shouldn't play t20is ever again but he is a brilliant test batsman. He has scored runs outside Asia which is rare for a Pakistan batsman let alone a wicketkeeper batsman.

The previous wicketkeeper batsman sarfraz the fatty averages like 20 outside Asia.
He is way much better than that sarfraz with tidd.

Rizwan is the only player in whole test team who makes team on merit.

He should not play t20is even in odis he has not been that good but he is must in tests.
 
Our so called GOAT keeper was outperformed by both his Bangladeshi counterparts. The only acknowledgment he deserves is being remembered as the most harmful individual within PCT history

The reasoning behind the statement could stem either from good intentions or evil intentions. For people with evil intentions, it might be that they intentionally suggest players who are not skilled enough to significantly improve PCT's performance. On the other hand, people with good intentions believe that there are no such players in Pakistan who can elevate the team's overall performance. Note: Misbah is very popular among Indian fans.
 
Rizwan is really fine in tests. Nobody can question his place in test team. Can you?
 
Problem with rizwan is that he only plays for himself and not the team and his fans don't understand this.

I'm not surprised because Misbah fans were also Like this. They'd constantly talk about misbah top scoring in tournaments for pakistan or how many 50's he's scored but those who actually saw him bat know full well what he did in mohali and 2012 Feb innings. Heck even in a buddei babei league he somehow flunked pakistan against India in the Final 🤣🤣.

Like seriously how do you go from having 7 wickets in hand and chasing 157 in 27 overs againat India to being no where close? And how do you go from having a required run rate of 5 in a bloody t20 against England in 2012 to requiring 6 of the last ball which misbahd doesn't even get? Logic goes thrown out the window with this lot.

Like seriously how is no one mentioning the way rizwan batted with tail enders in the first Test? Everyone is praising his hero innings? In that he was the only guy who scored 51 when pakistan collapsed?

You literally have Liton das, a fellow wicket keeper batter showing you how to bat with the tail? Heck he turned hasan mahmud into pat cummings? Kuda ka khoof karo.

Yes rizzu is not the biggest issue in pakistan and the overhate is blown out of proportion I agree. But stop pretending he's a saviour like Misbah.

As I said, All the criticism will stop once Babar and rizwan learn to win games. It's a 10 year career now, India 2021, Sri lanka 2023 and NZ 2019 can't be your only portfolio

When one cannot find argument against Rizwan his detractors change cricket format. Kuch bhi hu use neecha dikhana hai.

Far better WK batsman than Sarfraz in all formats.

Rizwan batted as well as any with no support from other end and against a better attack than Pakistan produce, his inning in first test was better than Mushafiq. In second test Liton inning was better
 
But I don’t understand the premise of this thread. He is the first choice WK in all formats. What further acknowledge is requirement?

If it is about captaincy, then my recommendation would be Babar or Shaheen as all format captain with Rizwan as the all format deputy.

Expect nothing less from a Babar cultist

Sarfraz has 4 test hundreds and 3 of them have resulted in wins

Rizwan has 3 test hundreds and only 1 has resulted in a win

Sarfraz singlehandedly allowed for us to qualify for the CT semis batting with the tail

When Rizwan had the chance to win us a tournament he scored a run a ball fifty. In the following tournament he failed to score anything substantial in the final and in the 2023 world cup he couldn't buy a run vs the top 5 teams
