Pakistan tour of Australia and New Zealand 2023/24

It is an interesting anomaly

Probably Ifti knows it’s a weakness so he takes less risks against leggies.
As for Azam, just small sample size

 

[Master Khan]

Yes, he should have done better. But it's too early to write him off, and he needs to bat before Ifti

Shaheen Afridi scored more runs then him in this one match then him in 7 matches lol, I think he pretty much bats at number 6 anyway.

 

[Khan Sahab54]

Some people really wanted Babar to be dropped from T20

 

[scoodledoodle]

STOP STOP STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING ALLROUNDER AFRIDI @scoodledoodle ARE YOU WATCHING THIS

TF is that supposed to mean? since when did I call Shaheen a allrounder

 

[CerealKiller]

Shaheen Afridi scored more runs then him in this one match then him in 7 matches lol, I think he pretty much bats at number 6 anyway.

And? Stokes and Buttler averaged around 10 after 10 matches. You gotta invest in players with obvious talent.
He bats at 5 for Islamabad.

Wisden Article - An article I agree with but will get a lot of hate from us Pakistanis.

Here is an opinion I will get a lot of hate for.

I don't think Babar Azam is good enough for our T20 side and should be dropped.

I know he has exceptional numbers, but honestly, he is not the right kind of player that we need. Currently, in our XI are 4 openers - number 4 is a specialist position, you can't just fit in another opener.

Babar Azam is perfect if you're chasing up to 180 max - he is a slow starter which in turn adds a lot of pressure to the other batsman around him. And they know that and have to hit out and get out. He just scores too slowly and aims to catch up at the end, by which time the required equation is too hard to accomplish.

Either you play Rizwan or Babar (defo Rizwan in my opinion) or drop Babar completely.

Yes, only one of Babar or Rizwan should play

Babar is the only one winning you matches when he wants to. Think about it

Finn Allen is the star we're making this series. Typical. He averaged 22 with most performances against low ranked sides before this series.

 

[CerealKiller]

Absolute dogshit performance by the bowlers

 

[wasteyouryouth]

Finn Allen has hit the same number of sixes today as Joe Root and Temba Bavuma in their entire T20i careers.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

On the arrival of Azam Khan they really played Big Show's wwe theme.

Give Allen some credit too. Average isn't everything. Allen's value to the NZ team is his SR, which he has shown on the biggest stage against good teams. He is a talent

Allen was quite hyped even before this series.
