Why is Salman Ali Agha considered a modern T20 hero compared to Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan?

Agenda?

What’s the agenda? Why are you insistent on repeating the same mistakes that were made when Sarfaraz was the captain of Pakistan’s T20 side.

Have you people not learned from your mistakes??
 
I’ll tell you right now,

It’s very easy for this guy to misuse his power, open the innings, waste balls to play himself in and score a little 50 off 35-40 balls for you people who prefer runs>sr

That’s how simple it is for him. He’s not doing it because he cares about his team first and not you crybabies

Cry more! He’s our captain! We rally behind him! A captain who cares about the team first!

How can a non performing captain be considered a good captain?

Is there a specialist captain role in the playing Xi?

He’s an out of form batter

He performed well for Pakistan in the tri series and other series in the lead up to the Asia cup

His team is pulling through during his slump, he will pull them through as well at their time of need.

That’s how a winning unit functions.

We stand with our players in their best and worst times.

Who’s going to captain and do a job for Pakistan if you remove Agha?? You plan on bringing the Shoda Rizwan back?

RIZWAN no way.

Agha as a specialist captain hasn’t done any wonders and it seems like Hesson calls all the shots so any performing player can be made one.

Would prefer a bowler. Fakhar maybe as well.

Problem with Agha is his lack of shots and the inability to accelerate. He’s similar to Rizwan. Just an accumulator.

Agha was doing well with the bat before assuming captaincy.

It seems like captaincy responsibility ruined his game.

I judge a batter based on their range of shots. He lacks them when trying to accelerate.

What was his strike rate and average?
 
Rana said:
Agha was never in the T20 team before Captaincy

Let’s not mix up formats.

You are right. I mixed up ODI and T20.

Anyway, he seemed more natural and confident before captaincy and right after captaincy.

Last few months, he has been struggling.

Here was one innings:

Anyway, his form is obviously gone now. He is struggling currently.

His best position is number 3

Even for Islamabad United, his best knocks have come at 3.

He puts Youngsters and aggressive batters ahead of himself for Pakistan.

They pick 3 openers and make Saim or Fakhar rotate at 3. They also try to maximise Harris by sending him at 3.

Agha hasn’t once put himself ahead of the team!

Yes Pakistan got rid of a specialist captain who was batting below tailenders. Same will be applied too with Salman who is even worse.

Yes we were already a Australian team with 10 players when sarfraz was the captain.🤡

What a 🤡 Argument and you fell right into it.

What was Pakistan’s win percentage under Sarfaraz?

What kind of Khyber Lion are you

Agha apologists have been badly humiliated. It is very clear now the they had a personal agenda against Babar and Rizwan and the whole schtick of “it is for the betterment of Pakistan cricket” nonsense was a load of drama.

If they were impartial, they would be equally critical (if not more) of Agha now because those two even at their lowest from were never as bad as Agha is right now.

78 sr is decent in t20s. He's doing a good job and has the right intentions.

Agha’s best position is number 3. Haris best position is number 3. Your local naan shop owner’s best position is number 3.

Pakistan is a magical cricket team where it only specializes in producing number 3 batsmen, and they are such specialists the these number 3 batsmen can’t buy a run anywhere else.

🤣🤣🤣
 
Let’s address the Sarfaraz myth too. The clown revisionism that Pakistan was a top team under him before he was unfairly axed couldn’t be further from the truth.

Both the team and his individual performances were in freefall and he basically sacked himself.

Kicking him out and replacing him with Rizwan is the best thing Misbah did as coach, and it shouldn’t have been done earlier. By 2019, Rizwan was clearly better, and should have played the World Cup but Sarfraz was so insecure that he didn’t even have him in the squad.

The ODI series vs Australia in th UAE two months before the World Cup made it very clear that Rizwan was now better than him, and he didn’t even make the final 15 in spite of scoring 2 centuries.

Sarfraz turned Pakistan into a minnow in ODIs between 2018 and 2019, and his pathetic batting was a key driver behind Pakistan’s demise.

He had lost so much confidence in himself that he started hiding behind tailenders like Wahab, Amir and Hassan Ali who would often bat above him. How embarrassing.

Pakistan couldn’t be further from the number 1 ranking in ODIs at the time. They were closer to being number 1 from the bottom.

Sarfaraz also ruined Pakistan in Test cricket.

The only saving grace was T20Is, but that bubble would have burst if there was a T20I World Cup in 2018. He was lucky there wasn’t one.

He cashed on playing a lot of T20I cricket vs C and D teams as other boards were resting their key players to prioritize ODIs because it was the ODI World Cup season.

However, if there was T20I World Cup in 2018, all teams would have fielded their best XIs and Sarfraz and his topi drama would have been exposed.
 
The new excuse we have now is NUMBER 3 position... Eveyr guy in the team is a number 3 now that is why he is not performing.

cool story bud.

keep finding the 'weakest link's and highlighting them for us every game. They change every other game these days.

There are many weak links... They are quite exposed... No need to try hard...

Good. keep pointing them out whilst ignoring the positives.

We really need to do something about being five down for nothing every single game.

People are whining about playing so many all-rounders, but they are the only ones contributing consistently. The batsmen, besides Farhan to a certain extent, are literally doing nothing.
 
Salman Agha (has not scored any runs in his last 9 innings since his fifty against Afghanistan in the Tri-series opener) needs to be replaced by Fakhar Zaman as captain. Fakhar is a match-winner in both formats of white ball cricket. He should have always opened in T20Is (I feel that Pak have finally got the combo right with Fakhar-Farhan). People criticise Fakhar's lack of consistency in T20Is (and with some merit. His ODI record is better) but he was never allowed to settle into that opening role. Sometimes he's sent at 3 or 4, other times 5 or 6. It is hard to perform as a batsman when you do not have a settled batting position in the team and don't know your exact role.

SSA will be a good alternative candidate. He has won PSL x 3 but I am not sure if he's captaincy material. Comes across as mentally weak. But that's just my opinion.

FFS

Fakhar, Farhan followed by Saim
 
If Agha’s best position is 3 he should bat there. It would greatly help the team who badly need someone at 3. The window is wide open at 3. It’s not selfishness if it actually benefits the team.

I actually think he could perform there too.
