Why has PCB not acknowledged Mohammad Rizwan yet?

[PakPremi]

Rizwan scored 171* in the first Test against Bangladesh


*Pakistan lost by 10 wickets

As I said previously ujab logic to blame the batsman who scored runs, and if the captain did not mess up the declaration he was well in his way to getting Pakistan a mammoth score to put surmountable pressure on Bangladesh.

 

[mominsaigol]

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

When has a rizwan 100 won a test? For pak? Didn't he lose all of em?

 

[CerebralPatriot]

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

In the first test all the hard work was done by Saud and Saim, Rizwan got lucky that the pitch had flattened out significantly

In the 2nd innings he could have drawn out the test for longer but this genius decided to give the strike to the tail and once he reached 50 he threw his wicket as he always does

In this test when he was dismissed he had Salman batting with him. If he was even 10% of the player someone like Mushfiq or Saifi is, he would have built a decent partnership in at least one of the two innings however as he always does, he threw his wicket away

Sometimes cramp, sometimes acting, always humiliating us on the big stage

On that road pitch, Bangladesh would have scored 500 regardless. They were under no pressure.

If anything I'm suprised at pakistan collapsing like peanuts

Sarfraz did nothing much with his batting in CT championship and was quite lucky against SL. His captaincy though was good in the CT, but we are talking about captaincy skill her. And Sarfraz alone did not win the test matches when he scored 3 centuries, look at other performers in the tetgose matches. One player alone never wins a test match.

What does it suggest? The guy is basically an opportunist

He knows what kind of runs at what time serves his cause, his bank account and financial safety.

I can’t understand how some players are so proud of being habitual losers, and their fans portray them as ATGs

It's about the way rizzu bats. Not thr runs he scores.

Look at how das batted qith the tail in the 2nd test and how rizwam batted qith the tail during the 2nd innings 1st test.

After the collapse and knowing full well shaheen and naseem are up,

Someone as experienced as him should have tuk tuked and wasted time as their was only a day left. Shaheen and naseem are weak but their not that so clueless that they can't tuk tuk for 1 to 2 deliveires, Even hasan mahmud could do it.

Das was playing 4 to 5 deliveires an over and was giving max one or 2 to mahmud and that's it.

Their was no planning however, Rizwan rotated strike and caused shaheen and naseem to face 58 deliveires while he faced 19.

Now imagine if it was the other way around? Pakistan could have lasted a very very very long time.

Even if they had lost, they'd put up a greater fight. Heck Australia agaiant pakistan batted an entire day drawing a test with only 3 wickets in hand and both batters being tail enders.

Rizwan has always played for himself.

You need to understand cricket is a team game. Sarfi played his part in accordance to the team situation even if he isn't individually a better bat then rizzu.

You guys assume more 50's and better avg is enough.

Shaheen bowled like crap in the previous game but thanks to taking wickets of tail enders, his stats show that he bowled decently? And you guys use those stats to justify, even though we needed him to take wickets of batters, not tail enders when Bangla was already 500+

Nonsense. That is a reflection of the fact that Sarfraz was part of a relatively stronger Pakistan team. It says nothing about their individuals skills.

Rizwan is a far better individual player and this Pakistan team will get weaker if Rizwan is replaced by Sarfraz.

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

Sarfraz’s batting was crap in the last two years of his captaincy. As captain, he started the trend of losing home Test series after Misbah kept Pakistan undefeated for 8 years.

In ODIs, he turned Pakistan into a minnow after 2017, losing 32 out of 40 ODIs including an 8 match losing streak.

Also, who can forget the 2018 Asia Cup disaster where India without prime Kohli demolished full strength Pakistan twice and Bangladesh beat them too. Who can also forget Sarfraz’s arrogant statement before the Asia Cup :”India is afraid of us”.

The 2019 World Cup was a joke too, with him yawning with his hands on his fat belly as India destroyed his bowlers and his team ended up with the third worst NRR among all sides.

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

Rizwan is a far better player than Sarfraz. Always was and always will be. He should have replaced Sarfraz permanently in 2019 when he scored 2 centuries vs Australia in ODIs at a time where Sarfraz couldn’t buy a run, but his captaincy saved his place. Thankfully, Misbah made the right call few months later and booted him out.

 

[Asif321]

Rizwan always got privilege. Wanted to bat as opener in T20 got that . Other wise he won’t make T20 team . Wanted number 4 at Odi got that too . Below that he can’t survive in ODI . Only in test he has done something good. Therefore as captain he will always put himself first than team .

Misbah also dropped the no 1 t20 rank. He lost a series to Zimbabwe.

Created the trend of sending chacha in super overs, infact Brough chacha into the team.

Shan masood aka the guy you hate, Misbah choose him as a frontline opener in the nex test series with rizwam as captain and pakistan lost that game by 101 runs.

Misbah got sacked for what he was doing in odi and t20 and rightfully so, now granted ramiz and naqvi were worse but Misbah led Pakistan and turned it into a complete joke in whiteball.

Players like yasir Shah, Muhammad irfan, Ahmed shehzad, Umar Akmal, were brought back well past their expiry and showed horrible results.

Infact even the person you hate sharjeel Khan, Misbah brought him back to break up the babar-Rizwan opening combo before restoring it.

And selecting Babar as captain was a horrible move but because you like babar I won't get into that argument with you, not in the mood as you're already discussing with others on that topic so I don't need to chip in.

Misbah got sacked and booted, infact he got sacked and booted for the very same reason from t20 in 2012. To top it off he'd extremly arrogant and doesn't listen to coaches. He sacked a coach who took pakistan to semi final in wc, Asia Cup winner and outright claimed that he wanted Misbah out and that Misbah is nothing more then a pcb chamcha and yes man and predicted he'd fail for Dav whatmore. Watmore was a garbage coach but he and misbah were buddies so fir misbah it was okay.

Misbah is not the angel you're making him out to be nor is he the angel that @Major the guy liking your comment fanboys him to be.

Misbah was terrible in white ball cricket. Awful player and awful captain.

But he was a decent Test batsman and a good Test captain who overachieved with his resources.

Pakistan was nowhere near good enough as a team to become number 1 albeit for a very short period, but he managed it.

Creating UAE a fortress was a great feat. If we were losing on tough tours like against Australia and South Africa. We were winning games in England and almost all games at home (UAE).

Compared to current team and setup. Misbah's test team was far superior.

That's fair, I agree with you, but let's see. People want him as red ball coach over gillsipie so let's see if it happens and if it does what results are produced.

The 2014 series vs Australia was one of the most brutal humiliations Australian has faced in its Test history. It is shame that series doesn’t get enough recognition.

They were brutalized in almost every session across both Tests. It was men vs boys, and it is extremely rare for a Pakistani team to produce such a commanding performance vs any team let alone Australia.

Because aussie media covered it up. Australia always does that cause of the power they have.

They and England go under the radar. People have also forgetten about their 2022 wc and 2011 campaign.

India would also do that but their way way too big and even with the money it's impossible to hide away or cover up embrassing losses or campaigns from the indian public who watched and critiques their team like a hawk

Nowhere near the humiliation that has been inflicted by Bangladesh at home of Pakistan. Misbah would've never let this happen.

Besides the end results matter the most than any session or period of play within the game. No Pakistan team has ever won a game in Australia in the past 2 decades.

2002 vs NZ

Inzy scored a triple hundred and NZ got bowled out for 73. Shoaib Akhtar ate them alive lol

It’s a shame the second test get abandoned for reasons unrelated to cricket
