Texy Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Who would've thought India is producing good bowlers and Pakistan producing good batsmen Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 FInally Pakistan has produced a worthy batsman across formats. In T20 era Pakistan has produced the first batsman to do well in all formats. Link to comment

I would put him on par with Rayadu and Manish . But as Manish won an odi chasing 330 in aus I would put him between Manish and Rayadu .So if we are making our D team he would still be behined Jadhav and Manish in picking order ,as they both have chased more than 330 score and won MOM . While Rayadu and him be on par as both have 50 avg by stats padding against minnow teams or minnow bowling attack. Link to comment

Ok now that's a bit mean. c'mon bro he is a good player but he is overrated a fair bit considering he hasnt achieved anything vs good teams. He is probably top 5 ish or maybe slightly lower. Need to see him do well vs top teams. wc2023 1 Link to comment
Jay Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Tell you what though. Babar is way better than Kohli now and I would pick him anyway over Kohli right now. Link to comment

cric_fan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 It will be a sad day for cricket when someone averaging 44 in tests i considered as ATG.Calm down. From a avg of 35 to 44...that’s a big improvement & will improve further. No he is not a ATG test batter Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I dont know about tests but in LOIs he is doing fine enough, No 1 ranking shows his consistency but no way he is the best batsman at present and even Pakistanis are aware of that fact. I have started respecting him more since the day our superstars failed against NZ in 2019 wc when Pakistan had chased down similar target against NZ few days before SF. He seems to be unaffected by all the comparisons with Indian counterparts and seems to know his limitations as well as strength, definitely Pakistan's best batsman. Plus he is legit 26,so good 10-12 yrs ahead for him. wc2023 1 Link to comment

When Pakistanis themselves say that they reduce their age by couple of years on an average , I am not sure Babar will be 26. He is likely 28. Ofcourse that's nothing to discredit him as a batsman. He is still a world class batsman and have rightly got the number 1 position. raki05 1 Link to comment
Norman Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 He's a great player. One of the best that padosis have ever produced and would probably end up as their greatest ever. Seems like a quite, humble and a likeable guy too, which is pretty surprising as his fellow countrymen were/are usually guilty of forgetting their auqaat when they get a bit of fame. Too bad he's got an insecure and a desperate fanbase who do more harm to him than good by forcing him in with the decade old run machines like Smith , Kohli, Root and Kane who have achieved a lot more than him. He has got a grand total of 1 Test hundred away from home FGS... wc2023 1 Link to comment

Anyways we are way too judgemental when it comes to age, What makes you think he is 28 and not 26? Link to comment

When age fudging is rampant in Pakistani cricket with many senior cricketers admitting post their retirement, I find it difficult to believe that he is 26. raki05 1 Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Hes a very fine player. Immensely gifted and with a rock solid technique. All depends on whether he can handle the pressures of Pakistan's cricket politics etc. Link to comment
