I will only stop supporting Pakistan team and players the day we become consistent, the fact that we can beat England and get thrashed by West Indies, we beat New Zealand and we are still not confident enough to beat Afghanistan. I mean theres no Drug like this, Best nasha.
I've been watching cricket in Karachi for good 20+ yrs. Have seen everyone from Sachin to Steyn, Akhtar to Afridi but i've never seen Karachiites roar for anyone like we do for Babar Azam.
PSL have played a Huge role in this, Babar Karachi ka hee lagta hai
Just look at Hassan Ali, Your Test cricketer of the year 2021. Sitting out for youngsters carrying drinks for them and sprinting to embrace that same youngster who took his place in the XI with the energy as if Hassan himself hit those sixes. Thats a team right there.
I feel proud to tweet that my 13 year old sister have been offered a full educational scholarship by Nasra Public School totally based on her merit as a cricketer. Tomorrow we are going to tour the school and sports facilities before the official paperworks.
All those criticizing these guys from the back of a camera, hardly managed to beat India in a Asia Cup and never defeated them in a World Cup. These guys achieved both inside a year. Chased down our record total vs India in a T20I too.
They will show you Asif Ali average 14, they will show you Asif Ali getting out for Duck, but they will not tell you that Asif Ali is the only Pakistani that can come in and hit a 1st ball Six. They want Asif Ali's sixes but they cant digest Asif's failure while hitting sixes.
Babar Azam has many flaws as captain, but he has literally carried us with bat since 2018, you can disagree with his opinions, disagree with his stubbornness of opening but if you cannot back his batting after 1 tournament failure then you don't deserve good things anyway.
I hope Saqlain Mushtaq gets the job full time, its clear Babar Rizwan Shadab are comfortable with him and team is also geling well. Calm influence of Saqi bhai coming to the fore.
Babar Azam is the only Pakistan captain that defeated Australia in an ODI series in the last 20 years. Journalists here are questioning his captaincy for Test matches before the ODI series.
Everyone enjoys an underdog victory vs a big cricketing Nation, but none of your cricket board ever give a time of day to these cricket Nations. PCB are the only cricket board to have given Afghanistan and Netherland both a chance to play Bilateral series & help their growth.
Just saw replay of Run out, Shan took 1 step before throwing the ball, its a very small thing to say and watch, but in pressure situation like this only the best have the presence of mind to get into better position to throw, holding your emotions is the hardest part.
Lots been said about these two absolute gem of sportsmen Pakistan have produced. There will always be bad days but always remember your heroes need you the most in that time.
My Heroes!!
You may be cool but you are not cooler than Karachi Public School's Principle. Because they have brought their whole school to back Pakistan here. Imran Khan enclosure is full and kids are still coming in, Zaheer Abbas Enclosure filling rapidly too.
My little sister have been selected in the Probables for 1st ever Girls U19 World Cup that will be happening in 2021. She is 14 and she will be leaving for Lahore NCA tomorrow for the camp and a girls tournament organised by PCB.
One step closer to the dream. 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Pakistan Cricket Board couldnt find a coach to replace Saqlain Mushtaq, Srilanka Cricket Board found Chris Silverwood in the state of emergency in their country.
This is my little sister Haniya Ahmer, She is 13 and today she joined Pakistan Women U17 camp at NCA Karachi for next 2 weeks. My best wishes to her and 24 other girls in that camp.
All these current/former players sitting on TV shitting on team, makes me respect Sarfaraz Ahmed more, a successful Captain, who kept team needs ahead of his, then got sacked unjustifiably. But he chose to play FC for less money then he could make in 2 weeks of WC Transmission.
Bengali Nationalists killed my Grandfather & took all his property by force in then East Pakistan, my father with no money or home sent his mother and young siblings to Pak & kept fighting legal battle till early 80s but no use.
But today's Bengalis think it was all one way
The Pakistani military targeted Bengali intellectuals: students, writers, poets, teachers. They crushed ordinary people and tortured folk like my granddad. To this day my mother is traumatised by this. But today's Pakistanis know nothing about the war, about Operation Searchlight
Very good to see Sarfaraz Ahmed carrying drinks, its a massive cultural change in Pakistan cricket & its a humble move by Sarfaraz himself. In past Pakistan captains with less than half his achievements dont come out of dressing rooms when dropped.
Naseem Shah's last 2 overs will be my favorite WT20 moment for Pakistan. I don't know what Haris Rauf told him, but by God that was some fast bowling show he put up. Stokes in those 2 overs had luck to match that deflected overthrow.
Babar just come infront of a mic & give absolutely no value to anyone or anything thats going against him. He is set in his way & he says sending Nawaz up was his decision. You can say 99 things against Babar but 1 thing you cant take away from him is his firm belief in this team
The 34 Fakhar Zaman scored today will not be remembered. Fakhar was 11 off 20 balls at 10 overs, he absorbed all the pressure, Pak needed 9 rpo, when Fakhar got out in 14th over the equation was 48 off 38. But Fakhar's 7-15 over phase SR stat will be less than 100. Real Impact
Hafeez is more talented than Shoaib Malik, but Shoaib Malik is more useful for Pakistan than Hafeez. Hafeez is reckless, Malik's brain works better, even if he fails thats bcz his talent is limited. If Malik had the talent Hafeez had, Malik would have been far better player.
Pakistan Cricket team is right where it should be before a Big Event.
- Nothing is working for us
- Media circulating rumours
- Fan Outrage at everything
- SA, Aus, Eng, Ind, SL all looking way better
- Seems to be in an uphill position to comeback from
Thats the team i identify
Whats the panic? We lost Babar and Rizwan for 15 runs, still scored 160, we were dominating in bowling too until Virat Kohli played an unprecedented innings even for his standards. I see no need for panic. If anything now we know we need a 4th pacer & can do a Haider-Waseem swap.
All the good teams in WT20 2022 are playing the T20 cricket Pakistan's way. Stable 1st 10 overs with wkts in hand and going mad in the last 10 overs. While Pakistan failing to do the same is ironic.
Pakistan is 44 for 4 through no fault of Muhammad Haris but in next game team management will ask Haris to play cautiously because collapse Hoga uske out honay ke badh. 😂
This is the view you get from the hospitality box at Karachi, the biggest stadium in Pakistan. Sethi sahab ne welder se roof lagwa dein per kisi engineer ko hire karlete tou itna paisa zaya nahi hota
2 years ago, my job ended due to the Covid crisis and worried about what the future holds for me, today I am posting a picture with the best group of Human beings I have met.
Be Thankful for everything and Allah will get you through anything
I may get alot of disagreement for this but the way Rehan ul Haq & Hassan Cheema run
@IsbUnited
franchise & they way players perform for them, this need serious attention. Maybe its time blood in young non cricketer brains into our old age system. 6 seasons are a good sample.
We all should talk up
@ZAbbasOfficial
alot, we dont do it often. I have seen the post/pre match show after a long time & its excellent to see Zainab basically owns the camera. Everyones always quic to point out a mistake from women in sports. We should celebrate women in Cricket.
It is a request from everyone who is asking about player status, availability & different things, there is a reason I didn't post anything regarding my affiliation with Zalmi here because I cannot talk about anything here.
In the meanwhile here's Pak's 2 best T20 openers & me.
I dont think anyone will bowl a better ball in this
#WT20
than Shaheen vs KL Rahul. Watch replays of that and you will struggle to find a better delivery bowled this year.
Shoaib Akhtar 100% right, almost all of them have Pakistani ID card, all of them learned all their cricket in Pakistan.
Afghanis are Haramkhors no two ways about it.
People here will tell you Shadab is not it. Dude is bowling to VK Rohit SKY 0/19 in 4 overs, took 4 for vs Aussies in WC SF. Was the MVP in last PSL too. What do they see that i cant see?
In all the doomed and gloomed inside my head regarding Pakistan cricket heres my 13 year old sister play U17 Girls Ramzan Tournament and bowling like a Champion.
Just the fact that Pakistan thrashed this England team at Lords early summer without our best test bowler and a young batting line up is the proof enough that ICC Rankings are baseless.
TV Cams dont show it because of commercials and other stuff but Rumman Raees is an excellent mentor for Dahani. Continously talking to him, calming him down after every wicket and over. Top Stuff
Jitna khush Rizwan ne kiya hai iss tour pe aur kisi ne nahi kiya. I think if Pakistan is looking for someone other than Babar for Test captain, Rizwan is the man.
Inzamam said, Asif Ali is schedule to be back in time for Pakistan's warm up games.
I hope this World Cup and Cricket in general give Asif strength to overcome the tremendous loss. He is a brave hearted man.
No amount of excuse can justify 110 for 7 in 20 overs from a Asian team, this is just bad batting irrespective of the batting order and the playing XI of India.
I have seen Shoaib Akhtar take 6 for here
I have seen Shoaib & Asif dismantle Indian batting here
I have seen YK scoring a magnificent 100 vs peak Steyn and Co
But only MS Dhoni's reception in 2006 comes near to Babar Azam at NSK both PSL and today.
GENUINE SUPERSTAR OF PAKISTAN
Karachi Kings wanted to retain Usman Shinwari in Gold category, all teams agreed but Lahore Qalandars denied and said we'll take Shinwari and they took him in Diamond which led to them missing out on Tom Banton which led to them having Dane Vilas as WK. What a Disaster.
My sister have been named in the Pakistan Emerging Women camp, So she will be entering the Bio Secure bubble from Saturday, If any of you have any idea about the absolute essential items she should take in the bubble please share. All cricket equipment will be provided by PCB.
What i want from Babar and Rizwan in T20s in 2022 is, when they know match is in the bag and they can also get a hundred, they shouldnt let that chance go. Be selfish at that point.
Season after season Perth produces a pitch with big cracks right on the good length but i have hardly seen them get a demerit point for unsporting or dangerous pitch, but if Rawalpindi produces a road or Feroz Shah Kotla produces one it gets a penalty.
I'd like Naseem Shah to join Karachi Kings next season, need him playing under Wasim Akram. Look at that pace 147kph, 145kph. He needs a proper mentorship.
Shoaib Akhtar is crazy, we all know that but Dr Nauman should respect a test cricketer, first he doesnt let anyone talk and then if someone cross him, he has this kneejerk reaction. You cant do that as a host and not infront of all the greats of the game on live tv.
Another massive victory for
@IsbUnited
@Rehan_ulhaq
and
@thePSLt20
bringing Paul Stirling back for the final. Its a massive win for Pakistan and this league players going and then caring enough to comeback to help their franchise.
Sarfaraz might not have hit a 6 in ODI cricket for sometime but there is no better no.5 batsman than him in Pakistan. His strike rotation is unmatchable. Coming in at 6 for 3 and then scoring a 50 at above 100 SR is top quality work but job only half done here.
Mere boss ne mujhe bola, kal se office ki timings 9am to 6pm hongi, maine unko bola mein 11am se pehle nahi aa sakta. Mere boss ne kaha tou kal se anay ki zarorat nahi hai.
Mere liye koi Journalist awaz uthayega? mera naam Hafeez nahi hai btw
No issues with hiring of Hayden and Philander, theres a list of coaches who had no experience and turned out good. Its just about the mind set, if Hayden can give 25% of his mindset to the current Pakistan team. It will be a win.
🗣️ "The team management and captain have a big role in my performances. I was fast-tracked despite not playing a lot of FC cricket but I still got a chance, so I'm thankful. I always had faith in my hard work too." – Abdullah Shafique
#PAKvENG
Haris Rauf told me in Pindi, hes been ordered 4 weeks rest, Haris Rauf states before the match he is 70% fit & still playing. But what the fuck are PCB's medical team doing? Bcz Haris seems uncomfortable while bowling.
As part of Pakistan's entertainment industry for more than a decade, I can assure you if other women in Pakistan Entertainment industry starts to come out with their stories, there will be < 10% men left to work with.

Bad news - Shaheen Shah Afridi's right knee is in a brace and could miss several months of action, including the home Test series against England and New Zealand
Haider Ali is overly confident and Danish Aziz is unfer confident.
Haider follow his instinct a bit too much, Danish is curbing his instincts in fear of failure.
We as a fan are screwed.
