he never said that!!!His statement I am a slave to my 15 players Is 100% true.
Yeah yeah, He said servant big whoophe never said that!!!
Rizwan is the luckiest cricketer on this planet.Captain watching DLS required score getting out of reach
Captain doesn’t believe in how the world plays
Captain wishes to be clueless and get lucky in the process

Ya i think conditions will suit spin bowlers pak should go all spin hereThe series is probably going to be a low-scoring one.
All 6 games are in the same venue (Bulawayo).

Ya true actually thats the way it should be in zimbabve conditions here always help spin bowlers.Not sure about all-spin but definitely not more than 2 pacers.
I expect pitches to be sluggish. So, slow bowlers should do well.
This is the type of pitch where even part-time spinners like Saim Ayub may do well.
How misbah is still most successful test captain and rizwan still best keeper.Rizwan is the luckiest cricketer on this planet.
A) Born in Pakistan which is the only country where nepotism wins.
B) Connected to Misbah who fast tracked him with zero performances, misbah was also fast tracked by Waqar.
Had Misbah and Rizwan been good enough, Misbah would have played in the early 2000's and Rizwan would have been mainstay since 2015.
Misbah ensured that the narrative of Babar and rizwan being Pakistan's main batters would be the narrative that would stick.
C) Misbah further made it easy by ensuring rubbish selections would whitewash Pakistan in t20 by sri lanka and when questioned on this, he made sure to not let sarfi speak and got aggressive with the people who interviewed him.
And after becoming a millionaire via rubbish connections and still being a rubbish player, he still hasn't given back to the fans what he owes them.

I have to get the violins out every time they play this emotional “easy target” trick with meAnd you still have posters here trying to defend Rizwan with posts such as "Rizwan is always an easy target".
Well yes he just scored 19 off 43 balls. It's inexcusable.
Rizwan played an innings that Misbah would be proud of.
With all due respect, how does this contradict what I claimed?How misbah is still most successful test captain and rizwan still best keeper.
Why no one beat them. Sarfraz Captained test team and played as keeper yet doesnt have great returns.
Dont be so down for hatred and accept that the new players coming through arent good enough as of now.
Tbf 200 is a low total. Australia was genuinely rubbish in that tour.No shock here, what a shambolic selection of batsmen for this series. The only reason this wasn't exposed in Aussie series was because of low totals team was chasing.

Zimbabwe on the other hand are proving that by accurately bowling simple lines with pace and spin they can easily bundle pakistan out.
The batters do not know how to play spin and they do not attack pace. Theirs no effort to come down the crease and attack or play unorthodox strokes like England does or try to loft etc.
In other words the bowlers have no need to change their line and length for fear of being hit.
Zimbabwe already knows that as long as they don't bowl on the body particularly to saim, Rizwan and Abdullah then it's easy picking.
Losing to Zimbabwe in at least one match has become a regular for Pakistan
this time they will break this myth and will lose all the games of the series.Losing to Zimbabwe in at least one match has become a regular for Pakistan

Again and again u have failed to name better career wise keeper than rizwan and u bring the argument of sarfraz in his peak was better. Lol waqar in his peak was better than any bowler.With all due respect, how does this contradict what I claimed?
Do you even know the story of Misbah and Rizwan and how they got shoved into the team?
Waqar younis did them a big favour.
Now about the test captain thing. Misbah was atrocious overseas. UAE is different and while people associate luck with sarfi I'm surprised they don't do the same with Misbah.
Misbah was a test player was just okay, he had good innings here and their but mostly he was just alright. The main advantage that misbah had was that Azhar Ali, Younis Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Umar Gul and many others were already an established part of the set up and so was asad shafiq.
Misbah's decison to put shafiq at 6 ended up working and he lucked out cause shafiq wasn't that good but no 6 was made into his own.
During misbah's era the opening was always a mess and for a while he also stubbornly insisted with adnan akmal over sarfi who wasn't that good.
It was that monster combo of azhar + Younis that won most games plus the spinners.
Shan masood proved against England that he could win games just by spamming said kham and nouman Ali on end. Misbah was no different.
He was lucky he had quality spinners and lucky that yasir Shah was able to replace saeed ajmal in tests.
Misbah inherited a team and he just shuffled orders. In odi he was atrocious and same in t20. You could give Shan masood the team misbah had and he'd go on a winning streak lol.
Now as for Rizwan. Rizwan is not the best wk bat pakistan has ever had. He's one of the worst lol.
You think he played with the right approach and did his job just because he wasn't dismissed?Yes, let’s pick on the guy who is not out and potentially could have won the game if it had been a full match.
Sarfi didn't have the same team in tests lol. Azhar Ali and many of the others were has beens and shehzad's replacements like imam and abid weren't great either.Again and again u have failed to name better career wise keeper than rizwan and u bring the argument of sarfraz in his peak was better. Lol waqar in his peak was better than any bowler.
Secondly if it was that easy to win then why the goat sarfi failed
Secondly misbah as test player will make it yo playing xi rn seeing how bad they are against spin. He and younis used to eat these spinners
Lastly adnan akmal was safest hands in pakistan when he made it to the team. He is one of the safest keepers we ever produced but sarfraz outscored him in batting when he came in the team
History is going to be made this time... lolZimbabwe have never won an ODI series against Pakistan before.
Babar would have been a sitting duck here. This is a spin galore pitch where the likes of saim and Agha are bowling well even though their trundlers.This loss has boosted the image of Babar in social media lol
If you dont think misbah was way ahead of this team when it comes to playing spinners then i can't say muchSarfi didn't have the same team in tests lol. Azhar Ali and many of the others were has beens and shehzad's replacements like imam and abid weren't great either.
Younis Khan use to eat spinners. Not misbah lol.
Suggest alternatives who werent picked apart from saudBabar would have been a sitting duck here. This is a spin galore pitch where the likes of saim and Agha are bowling well even though their trundlers.
Babar is just as bad as the rest when it comes to playing spin.
Saud shakeel should have been here instead. He's the best player of spin in the country.
However yes Babar would have handled the first 10 overs better them Abdullah, Saim, Kamran and Rizwan. Babar is a much better player of spin then these 4. The score wouldn't have been so low and pressure would have been put on Zimbabwe.
But he'd get out on the 12th or 13th
I won't be surprised if that happens...this time they will break this myth and will lose all the games of the series.
Was IPL Auctions distracted the Pakistan players @Savak @Nikhil_cric @Rajdeep
Maybe that's why they were lost against Zimbabwe?
They might lose all their games. These are spin galore pitches and pak vatters can't play spin.Pakistan losing one game to Zimbabwe in a series is standard procedure.
Pakistan batters ruin Faisal's three-wicket debut
New-look Pakistan batting ruined Faisal Akram’s impressive debut as Zimbabwe won the first ODI by 80 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method here on Sunday.
Faisal returned figures of 8-0-24-3 and combined with Salman Ali Agha (three for 42) to dismiss Zimbabwe for 205 in 40.2 overs. However, a horror batting display by Pakistan batters left the tourists reeling at 60 for six in 21 overs before rain down and ended any further play.
Only three Pakistan batters reached double-figures with captain Mohammad Rizwan scoring 19 not out, followed by Kamran Ghulam 17 and Saim Ayub 11. Muhammad Irfan Khan scored seven, Salman Ali Agha four, Abdullah Shafique one and Haseebullah no score were the disappointments of the day
Sikandar Raza claimed two for seven, Blessing Muzarabani picked up two for nine and Sean Williams snapped up two for 12.
Earlier, Zimbabwe batted positively on a slow deck despite being regularly losing wickets to be dismissed for 205 in 40.2 overs. No.9 batter Richard Ngarava with 48 off 52 balls with five fours and a six was the top-scorer, followed by Sikandar Raza (39), Tadiwanashe Marumani (29), Sean Williams (23) and Brian Bennett (20) being the other run-scorers.
Zimbabwe were 125 for seven after the halfway stage before Ngarava and Raza put on 62 runs for the eighth wicket off 69 balls. The other partnership of note was for the first wicket when Marumani and Joylord Gumbie (15) put on 40 runs in 35 balls.
21-year-old Faisal Akram, a product of the PCB’s Pathways Programme and a former Pakistan U16 and U19 left-arm wrist spinner, accounted for Raza, Mavuta and Muzarabani to make a memorable debut.
While Salman Ali Agha also made an impact with his off-spinners, taking three wickets for 42 runs, the pace trio of Aamir Jamal, Mohammad Hasnain and Haris Rauf had a tough day on a slow surface, collectively conceding 121 runs for three wickets in 21.2 overs (economy-rate of 5.7).
The second ODI will be played on Tuesday at the same venue.
Scores in brief:
Zimbabwe beat Pakistan by 80 runs in DLS method
Zimbabwe 205, all-out 40.2 overs (Richard Ngarava 48, Sikandar Raza 39, Tadiwanashe Marumani 29, Sean Williams 23, Brian Bennett 20; Faisal Akram 3-24, Salman Ali Agha 3-42)
Pakistan 60-6, 21 overs (Sikandar Raza 2-7, Blessing Muzarabani 2-9, Sean Williams 2-12)
You guys are completely off the tangential.
If the leader of the pack is a sheep, then it doesnt matter if there are 10 other lions.
The flock is doomed.
They might lose all their games. These are spin galore pitches and pak vatters can't play spin.
To top it off captain clueless will go with an unchanged team
