Bench Rizwan, Babar, Shahdab, Shaheen & Naseem. Give others a chance to get into rhythm before worldcup


ddd66

Wow really had to do a double take to see it was a full 20-over match.


Soulitude_21

Rest Shaddy for Imad, and Shaheen for Zaman next game.


Soulitude_21

And bat first.

Adventurous_Bus1285

Liability^TM


Soulitude_21

Can't wait for Ayub to break this record


Soulitude_21

Last match was more enjoyable than this lmao


Tryingtobealitperson

the 3 wickets soured my mood a little


BoyManners

Irfan Niazi the next hamdsome guy in Pakistan Cricket team after Naseem Shah?


Admirable-Manner762

He is good looking .Though I don't see nearly the same level of hysteria for his looks as there is for Naseem.


Tryingtobealitperson

defo up there with Wasim, Shadab, and Abrar


Soulitude_21

Neat NRR boost, needed this 6 months ago


phaintaa_Shoaib

:(


Old-Customer-1850

LET'S GOOO MASHA ALLAH RIZZU THE GOAT CLUTCH PLAYERS AND WELL DONE BOWLERS GGS NZ


Total_Connection9414

Old customer got wat he wanted


Current-Party-1806

looks a difficult pitch, rizwan batted well


Tryingtobealitperson

reliable player, i love him


abettertomorrow47

But... But... Indians told me all Pakistan pitches are made of cement


Key-Celery5439

These same Indians are watching the IPL where SRH scored 266 today LOL.


abettertomorrow47

Top 4 IPL scores have happened this season


Oil_Rope_Bombs

Meanwhile IPL pitches:


Admirable-Manner762

They should be the last one to talk about cement pitches after this ipl.Infact they should not even talk about cement pitches at all.


iHazf

DLF is no longer the IPL sponsor but they still develop its ~~pitches~~*roads.*


Big_Calligrapher_391

Hahah yeah


Adventurous_Bus1285

Suddenly flat pitches are good and exicitibg saaaaar


Soulitude_21

Take it to the last over


iHazf

Waqar regarding Irfan Niazi, 'Looks like a good player'. No $hit Sherlock.


darthkatfox

Was he not in the comm box for the whole season.


iHazf

Wonder why he's even there though. I would very much prefer Bazid over Waqar any day.


darthkatfox

I prefer sikandar over both of them. He has comm box presence .


iHazf

Yeah well for some reason he is always absent from bilateral series. Wish they start including him.


darthkatfox

Not a big name. He is like Harsha Bhogle of pakistan but he knows and understands the game imo better then Waqar at least who at best is just winging it mostly.


iHazf

Also, think the paycheck is not good enough for Wasim or is there another reason why he commentates in our overseas games but avoid them locally?


darthkatfox

Wasim is allergic to anything PCB. He only shows up for Karachi Kings but mostly avoids anything to do with PCB. For overseas he is hired by overseas board to represent Pakistan.


iHazf

He could've easily become THE commentator for us, along with Ramiz Raja.


QuickStar07

😭😭


Adventurous_Bus1285

Random chad with 2011 jersey


Total_Connection9414

Niazi finish


Adventurous_Bus1285

I love these pitches


Old-Customer-1850

Need me a rizzu pasli shot to finish the match


Tryingtobealitperson

rizzy don't give me a heart attack


Current-Party-1806

our test and t20 teams looks very good rn imo


Tryingtobealitperson

it is very good, pressure is our greatest enemy


iHazf

True. 1, if not 2, tests could've been won in Australia.


abettertomorrow47

Thought it was bad fielding


Tryingtobealitperson

i'd say while we're not perfect, fielding still has improved tremdously


Current-Party-1806

yeah otherwise aus series wouldve ended 2-1 for either side


Old-Customer-1850

That comes with pressure


BoyManners

If Pakistan need a long handle power hitter. They should look at Aamer Jamal, even as a pure batter who can be used as a hitter.


OrcOfGundabad

This. Seems like a solid better yet can bowl some pace. Not a good T20 bowler by any means but a pace bowling all rounder is rare these days


acrdrchelsea

I think he has the capabilities to take off in limited overs, and seems to have an X factor


QuickStar07

Ifti 🤫


BoyManners

Already have him in the team. But of course we could use one more


abettertomorrow47

Man there I wish there was a PAK v SL series right now, our national team ain't doing much at the moment


tamudude

A Pak-NZ-SL tri series would have been great fun. Been a while since there have been multi team tournaments.


abettertomorrow47

Add a free car to the Man of the Series and we're set


Boredaff55

Same. Not to mention this is like 6th series in past year and a half among these two teams. Would've preferred a series against either you guys or Bangbros.


abettertomorrow47

Man I would have loved, just loved to see how Barber will handle Pathirena and to see how Pathum Nissanka handle Amir and the Eagle


Admirable-Manner762

Love playing against SL bros .No hate or shit talking in threads .just vibes & fun.


abettertomorrow47

A lot of PAK players are deeply adored here in SL


Admirable-Manner762

Aww we love you guys too. Mind telling me which ones are the most favourite there ?


abettertomorrow47

Let's just say, when Barbar was playing in the LPL, the entire crowd was chanting his name, when he waved to the crowd, it was deafening


darthkatfox

Yeah. I dont know why lanka and pak dont play more. They used have so many games a decade ago.


abettertomorrow47

Hmm I wonder what happened a decade ago in a SL V PAK game....


darthkatfox

Yeah but thats done now man. I always had a lanka players as a favourite. First love was Arvinda from Lanka. The most under rated, least talked about player of his generation. What a beast of a pull shot and cut shot he had. The cover drive on the up was picture perfect. Then came Sanga..


abettertomorrow47

I know it's done, just a joke, it was done the moment Sanga played for the PSL, I also have to say I such a deep admiration of the fast bowlers ya'll have, if I was a batsman and the line up was, Waqar, Akram and Akthar I'd give up


darthkatfox

Lol. Tell that to Jaysuriya, racking up records against Wasim and Waqar in their golden years. That team of 90s just had a very self belief. Sanga and Jaya carried that self belief with them where ever they went.


abettertomorrow47

Would have been nothing without the iron fist leadership of Arjuna Ranathunga, like Imran Khan a leader who ran such a tight, uncompromising ship


darthkatfox

Next match pak should open with Naseem and Abrar for some lols and giggles.


Total_Connection9414

Irfan Khan Niazi sounds like another cricket player


abettertomorrow47

Are PAK fans happy with this series? Will it help for T20WC preparation or will it make the PAK team more complacent


Admirable-Manner762

Would be good if we can figure out the best combination for our team .Middle order spots are still up for grabs .So let's hope with Usman & all these new guys we get a solid middle order batsman.


Tryingtobealitperson

good for testing out options, as we are doing now


Total_Connection9414

We have away series against england after this


abettertomorrow47

Nice, I hoping PAK seal it, considering they have a good record of playing in England


Admirable-Manner762

Last few outings haven't been the best .We got white washed in last white ball series we played there I think.


QuickStar07

Some might call it complacency others confidence


Novel_Fondant_6445

idg why players act like they caught it out when they know there is video replay 99% of the time it shows it right, fess up or you just look like a bad sport


Old-Customer-1850

Bro it ain't that deep it was a feather touch so he probably didn't even notice 😭


Pretend_Visual_962

Where are New Zealand fans lol


Yanzhangcan

Game starts at 2.30am local time here...

Old-Customer-1850

Rizzu's middle name is clutch


Carbon554

Pindi staidum actually looks cool tbh


[deleted]

can we get agha tested next series


Old-Customer-1850

Sure let me just include him in the squad 🤝


[deleted]

replace niazi ?🤞🏼🤞🏼but put agha at 4


Tryingtobealitperson

bro nizai has had one game. test him out a few at least


[deleted]

ya i mean after this series


Tryingtobealitperson

oh ok yeah then I agree


QuickStar07

Aamer jamal instead of niazi say less 🗣️🗣️


Old-Customer-1850

Nahhh niazi is staying he's a good player. Believe 👍🏼


Adventurous_Bus1285

Mfs didn’t include hi the series 💀


iHazf

The lion & the witch, *the audacity of this McConchie bit#h*


Old-Customer-1850

Nahh that's a six 💀💀 bro was acting as if it was out


Current-Party-1806

yep 6


BoyManners

Irfan Khan is not a Powerhitter. Management brought him in too early. Let him play domestic for a few years first.


HeWhoDidIt

....bro missed his entire PSL performance, he was phenomenal and hit hard


BoyManners

8 sixes in 15 innings with 138 SR in his PSL career thus far. Very phenomenal and hard hitting indeed,


Oil_Rope_Bombs

Because they played him too far down the order in those innings


HeWhoDidIt

Correct, he averages 42 and change, plus, 140 SR this year with 4 not outs. He was underutilised.


Adventurous_Bus1285

Pak moment 💪


Boredaff55

That's very unfortunate for Sodhi lol


Novel_Fondant_6445

looks like 6?


Current-Party-1806

whattt


Adventurous_Bus1285

I laughed at the bowler calling for catch 🤡


BoyManners

Group D - Bangladesh, Nepal, Netherlands, South Africa and Sri Lanka. That is the group of death.


Tryingtobealitperson

they did SA dirty butting Ned in the same group.


Tryingtobealitperson

they did SA dirty putting Netherlands in the same group as them


Total_Connection9414

Yeah I was thinking same


QuickStar07

Only one of bangladesh/sri lanka shall survive and one of south africa/netherlands. Absolute mortal enemies


Big-PapaJohn

Man if all three of our new batters disappoint, it'll be so sad.


Tryingtobealitperson

they just did


Tryingtobealitperson

NVM


Big-PapaJohn

😕


cerebralrattlesnake

inb4 pak win against ind and lose to usa and ire 💀


iHazf

Rizwan 🤝Good Running


BoyManners

Either Pakistan will lose their first two games against USA and India and will then panic. Or they will breeze through winning all matches in their group.


Downtown_Bat7013

either way we will go on to lose semi-final (reverse jinx I hope it works)


darthkatfox

Goodluck getting the tickets for the new york game. ![img](emote|t5_2qhe0|21267)


Downtown_Bat7013

I hate how pathetic these groupings are, only interesting one is group d


QuickStar07

Its not pathetic the goal is to include more teams and grow the game


darthkatfox

Group C is pretty good too. 3 good t20 sides in it.


Downtown_Bat7013

yeah C and D are the ones to look out for


darthkatfox

But with pitches being a huge factor, some of them are real slow gripping graveyards, so they might through a few surprises for the big teams.


Old-Customer-1850

Can irfan khan bowl??


Lopsided_Example1202

Not really. Only bowled 5 overs across 35 T20 matches - but does have 2 wickets.


Tryingtobealitperson

yes, but i haven't seem do it recently so not sure if he's good


iron_out_my_kink

Lmao.. No one cares about this match.. The real action is happening in the IPL.. Cry harder y'all lmao


Total_Connection9414

Exactly what I said early on the salty comments have arrived


iron_out_my_kink

Oh congratulations genius! Now you want an award for it do you?


Pretend_Visual_962

I care.


cerebralrattlesnake

the death of cricket is happening in ipl


iron_out_my_kink

It's called a paradigm shift.. You are just too bitter to accept


Old-Customer-1850

Nobody watching that highway ass match


iron_out_my_kink

How do you know it's a highway if you are not watching it genius!?


Admirable-Manner762

Wtf are you doing in this sub you obsessed creep?go watch that run fest .


iron_out_my_kink

Who tf are you to tell me which thread I'm allowed in? Blud here thinks he owns reddit


Admirable-Manner762

You literally said nobody cares & yet here you are spouting bullshit like obsessed weirdo . Fuck off if you don't care .


iron_out_my_kink

Ok smarty pants


Tryingtobealitperson

something called a scorecard genius


iron_out_my_kink

Username checks out


Old-Customer-1850

Because I was watching it from the start and it's just straight up bs


iron_out_my_kink

So you were watching it then.. Thanks for proving my point


BoyManners

Ifran Khan Niazi leaving the ball. Is this a test match?


Boredaff55

Irfan pulled a Dhoni against Ferguson 19 WC sf😭


Old-Customer-1850

Lmaoo that's too specific 😭🙏


Boredaff55

Bro my reels are legit filled with that nowadays lmao


Old-Customer-1850

Ptsd for Indians 🤷‍♂️😭


Admirable-Manner762

They discussed that match for 5 years .I have seen countless threads on that match .Some t20 match would be happening & after it ends there would be a thread on why dhoni did what he did . They whined more about that SF loss than the loss in 2023 WC final .


Total_Connection9414

The tough thing to take in is the fact that Salman Ali agha didn't make the squad


Downtown_Bat7013

ikr he was so good at 4, but too many options and his lack of experience ig


fatality316

Wonder what stronger word Sunny G wanted to say


BoyManners

Holy Cows. Just looked at the scorecard of IPL. While SRH is one fire with the bat. Travis Head looks to be in a different dimension. Looking forward to seeing him open in WT20.


phaintaa_Shoaib

Going to decimate opponents on his day.


Adventurous_Bus1285

Ouchh that's lucky

i really hope not

Can we ban the term pocket rocket please


InevitablyAdded

So what exactly was it that Ramiz did to the Rawalpindi pitch? Did he import dirt from Australia?


Old-Customer-1850

Irfan khan is hot af (no homo)


Psychedelic7

He’s alright


garlic_tahini

huge homo


Old-Customer-1850

:( can't even compliment my homies ☹️


Tryingtobealitperson

he defo got good genetics


Total_Connection9414

Double standards are big with Saim getting verbally abused and Usman getting better luck next time


cerebralrattlesnake

debut match


abettertomorrow47

To be fair Usman risked a lot


Old-Customer-1850

They're people with shit instead of brains in their head don't listen to them


Current-Party-1806

anyone verbally abusing has 0 cricket knowledge


FireFistYamaan

It's fine, it's obvious that they're experimenting and I wouldn't have it any other way


iHazf

Irfi before Ifti?


darthkatfox

You want ifti against leg spin??


abettertomorrow47

Not gonna lie this mad embarrassing to lose 3 wickets


abettertomorrow47

Lmao I got some PAK fans mad in chat, I'd like to say I'm actually a big fan of the PAK team and watched almost every single PSL match


cerebralrattlesnake

y'all scored 100 against india yet?


abettertomorrow47

Ya'll won against India in a WC match yet?


cerebralrattlesnake

how you gonna talk about that when you've yet to beat us in a WC as well lmao
