He's a mediocre batter who has a career largely due to quota policy.

 

Opener having SR less than 130 is poor af

Strike rate is 130 now. Also, he's been really good for the last 2.5 years. Striking at 142.

That too by an average SA side resting a number of players... and Pak played their first choice team with "Bradman" Babar, "Can't play him" Afridi, Rauf "phaast" Lala, and "bestest wkt keeper batsman in the world" Rizwan

Shocking Rizwan has some fans lol

If "Bradman" Babar can, surely maulana will have lots more given his preaching antics and "holier than thou" attitude.

 

I wish they continue to play for Pakistan for a long long time

Pakistan always finds a way to lose..

We hammered this SA team - actually a better version with Rabada and other first teamers - 4-1 and that too without Bumrah and some other folks who were already in Aus. And here Pak and so called "Bowling paawarhouse" is getting dismantled left, right and center 

Next WT20 and AC will be massacres.

Depends on our selection. They may decide to go with likes of Avesh Khan and bring back Dube, Gill and Ruturaj who're useless in T20s. We had a pretty good side in SA thanks to some of the tuk tuk players (aka multi-format batters) away in Aus. Who knows what our genius selectors will do when they have all the players available.

 

I wouldn't put it past them to have a top order of Gill, Ruturaj with likes of Abhishek sent back, and Rinku replaced with Dube. Remember, we're talking Indian selectors who don't go by performances but by brand. If they select the team on performance, we should be untouchable.

Rizwan's post match comments can be summed up as "Insha allah, abhi to hamein aur zaleel hona hai" 

Maulana - result not in our hand . Only water and tissue paper in our hand to clean the mess we do.

Make no mistake, Rahul would walk into their All-Time team as a wkt-keeper bat. And in the current team, he would be compared to Bradman and Viv combined.

And he would be Da Woods SIL than Annas

Jaiswal in place of Abhishek. Bumrah in place of the other pacer.

 

That should be the lineup.

Lol what a start of the weekend ….. Wow we won with trundler Avesh and bumch of spinners against SA A team ……. Where as Bowling Power House  @Aiden @First class @cric_fan

Forget about power, there is no house in Pakistan team , everyone particularly Rizwan and Babar playing just to score some individual runs , not to win matches. 

[CoverDrive]

Saim Ayub has graduated from “Saim vs Jaiswal who is better”  to “Saim vs Kohli who is better” thread now 

[jf1gp_1]

Rizwan and Babar are great batsmen. They need to stick with them with Akib as coach. This combo will ensure Pakistan plays qualifies for ODI wc and potentially miss out like WI.

Yup with no place for Gill, Ruturaj or anyone else. We need attacking batsmen, not some "all format stars"

I will always keep Abhishek ,his temperament must be milked in t20s

Can bowl too

Let Jaiswal concentrate more on tests for now,not as if we desperately need him there in t20s
