I'm down. But someone once said " I want my team to play like a cornered tiger... when it's said it's most dangerous"
That may be, is more apparent today.
Shaheen not been the same since injury
Haris had a poor PSL
Naseem poor V Afghan
Hassan out of form
Hasnain struggling since new action
Ihsanullah can't bowl 10 overs
Aab time agaya hai ke PCB Amir ko phone kare aur kahe "Dekh bhai, teri abhi bhi zaroorat nahi hai"
The man left his wife and two daughters in Birmingham to work for the PCB. He rejected a job that was paying him 3 folds what the PCB was offering him. Still he always got the foreigner tag.
Thank you Wasim for the 3 years. Enjoy your time with your loved ones.
In Pakistan cricket there is a unwritten rule -
If Jatt, Arfa, Hussaini and co are taking one side - make sure you take the other one immediately. You will always be on the right side.
PCB will actually be disrespectful incase Salman Butt is removed from Selection Committee without being given opportunity to perform his professional responsibilities. PCB will tarnish it's professionalism by removing Salman Butt with in 24 hours of appointment.
Shadab last night was a leader. Champion fielding and he was running 30 meters to tap other players on doing well.
We miss something's on TV. What I saw yesterday was a absolute team man.
My favourite moment of the world cup is the second ball of the tournament. Just before Shaheen got Rohit leg before - the camera went to Rizwan and he was laughing away talking to the slip.
A relaxed Pakistan team is a dangerous Pakistan team.
Not having the Wasim jnr slander. He made a brave choice and backed himself. He failed.
If it came off, the same fans would be saying get him on the plane to Australia.
Fine, fine margins.
When she was born we were told she would be lucky to survive a day. Then a month, then a year.
Today, I wish her a happy 40th birthday to my whole world.
Who would have thought that Babar Hayat will end this tournament with a better average than Babar Azam? A totally forgettable tournament for the big man.

😒 India tour to SouthAfrica will be broadcasted on national television of Pakistan! Is this in notice of Federal Minister Fawad Chaudhary? What is the purpose to broadcast Indian Cricket on PTV. Indeed sports should be kept away from politics but not in the case of India!
#SAvIND
Whatever we think of Lahore Qalandar's but they are set to become the first PSL team to produce a national player by scouting at ground level. Well done
@lahoreqalandars
Salman Butt
"It is very simple - asking questions is a journalist’s right, and you cannot deny him that. He should have heard the entire question and said 'no comments'. He had the right to do that. If he would have said ‘no comments’, it would have meant that"
Not sure I would want to go to Leeds again for cricket. Fights in the stands (again), racial slurs and alcohol in the family stand. Not my sort of cup of tea.
Batsman plays slow - Selfish
Batsman plays quick - easy bowling.
Batsman gets out quickly - he can't do it against small teams.
Batsman scores big - statpadding.
Can we ever be happy?
Heartbroken. Sat here like a dead human for the last 5 minutes.
BUT, a poor 20 minutes doesn't change that this team gave us the best 3 weeks in years.
Don't stoop low and abuse any player.
Just imagine the reaction if this was the Pakistan team? Time to realise that being covid positive isn't a crime. And it's not necessary that rules have been broken for it to happen.
So Faisal Iqbal took leave from Balochistan coaching duties citing mental fatigue and has turned up for some random T10 competition as coach.
Sack him.
Don't normally share private conversations but I remember Shan speaking to me about Mishoo. She was his strength, his inspiration & he wanted nothing more then making her proud. Please, please, please, respect this post.
Seen Imran’s speech 3 times over. First time I was emotional. Second proud. Third time I made a dua that may Allah keep him safe from all his enemies. Pakistan has a Quiad again.
I'm sorry, but department cricket can never have this buzz and excitement around it. You can't get emotionally attached to PIA, Sui Gas or national Bank.
I see that a World competition is around the corner and Malik has all his friends on speed dial once again. If there ever was a politician in Pakistani cricket, it's him.
إِنَّا لِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
My sister in law has lost her baby 24 hours after birth. All I ask for is a small prayer for the departed soul and for his parents to cope with this loss.
May the child be a mean for his parents to enter jannah.
Jzk.
Overall you carried a set of players for a year with the World Cup in Australia in mind. The last thing you do is make changes based on performances in UAE.
Well done
@MuhammadWasim77
for standing by the players.
If PSL had a covid outbreak like what BBL just has - leave what others may have said - our own people would've made us sound like criminals.
Media and fans alike.
Literally feel sick. Time for a change. A complete rebuild. This has to be our England 2015 moment.
Build on Babar, Rizwan, Saud, AbD, Shaheen and Naseem.
Arafat Minhas, Sufiyan Muqeem as your next spinners. Saim as your opener.
We can't stand still till 2027
Nawaz has shown V SA and today that his improved on this power game. The one thing that was against him in the past.
It's never too late to make yourself a better player.
Mian Muhammad Baksh said "Dushman mare tay khushi na kariye, sajna wi marjana"
This is quite apt after how Indians reacted to PSL postponement. Don't do the same.
Second XI? Have you not understood Pakistan cricket yet? We could beat England's best side if we turn up and lose to their under-15's if we don't.
This is what Pakistan cricket is about - and I wouldn't change it for love or money.
We need 10 years of this man. We will be a different cricketing nation. His vision, working ways are the exact opposite of how we was run for the last 60 years.
Younis Khan’s work ethics, commitment to match preparation, game awareness and tactics in the English conditions will be invaluable. He is a role model to a number of current players and is hugely respected: PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan.
More:
Had so many messages/tweets saying you wasted money/time on this team. I never started to support them on a condition that they'll always win. I'll continue like today. I cheered every 4 and all 3 wickets. I'll continue.
Darren Sammy is (rightly) praised for his work to bring International cricket back to Pakistan. Forever grateful to him.
Someone who has gone unnoticed is Ravi Bopara. Has played PSL, come to Pakistan with KK, now with MCC.
Thanks
@ravibopara
- appreciate it.
Do you know why Pakistan don't rotate and test the bench often?
Cause the fans and media have an meltdown if we lose meaningless bilateral games.
We can't have it both ways.
Can anyone explain how Pakistan isn't safe for Indian cricketers but is safe for their Kabbadi & Hockey sides? Does the Indian government not value non cricket lives?
Serious question, not trolling.
JUST IN: Pakistan’s Mohammad Hasnain will undergo tests on his bowling action after it was reported by umpires while playing for Sydney Thunder at
#BBL11
While we can debate whether this was professional behaviour for Zainab, it was most definitely UNPROFESSIONAL of Rizwan to put her in the position where she had to fade in to the background of her own interview just to accommodate his issues.
Don't care what anyone says, but I love this man. Represents Pakistan in the right way. Dignified, passionate and has given Pakistan 2 ICC trophies (one at age level). Insulting him is insulting Pakistan.
