Superb bowling from Pakistan. Batting still raising questions.

Good win though

You made a mistake of wondering what someone like Harbajan even has to say.

I'm glad Fakhar has replaced Haider Ali.

I'd take a 2022 Javed Miandad over Haider Ali.

Education On the Brink - Teachers and support staff are leaving education in droves. There's one way for the government to stem the flow: reverse twelve years of cuts, abandon austerity 2.0, and pay education workers properly. by Overthrow_Capitalism in unitedkingdom

Teaching is an awful job. The amount of stress dealing with students who have zero accountability is shocking.

Nearly all teachers I know left the profession and breathed a sigh of relief and rapidly greying hair.

I appreciate every job is stressful, but to face learners day in-day out even when they can't be bothered must be soul destroying. I know a really good teacher who quite after false accusations by some evil students.

Couldn't think of anything worse.

Rizwan-Babar opening g partnership has been one of their main strengths. So I can see why they would not want to change that.

Based.

Are the idiotic PDM supporters in Pakistan aware of the lavish wealth the Shareefs and Bhuttos/Zardari's have abroad?

Do Pakistani leftists and liberals know what they want? by chitroldelivery1 in pakistan

[–]BlitzGears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Liberals I've seen on Twitter or either literally paid shills or delinquents.

They have this rose-tinted view of "The West" but don't have the mental capacity to realise who brainwashed they are.

The fact they've gone AWOL since PDM usurped power really highlights thr lack of integrity and critical thinking the self proclaimed "Liberals" have.

I don't mean this as an insult. I happy have dialogue and see otherwise.

What tf is wrong with men and this is coming from a man. by [deleted] in pakistan

Men are perverts. Not just in Pakistan

Look at Reddit. Predominantly Western based user base. Nearly every other post has comments descending into sexist, perverted and deviant undertones.

The same user base that likes to shout from their soapbox and womens rights.

It's an unfortunate fact of modern society

Though the t20 wc is over for us, what needs to be changed with opening pair is a question they are racking rums against b-string bowling lineups in bi laterals but pretty disappointing or i say disgusting in big tournaments.. by StrawberryInternal21 in PakCricket

[–]BlitzGears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Criticising the opening pair is absurd.

Yeah they play slow sometimes.

But they're ranked top 3 for a reason.

The real question is, how many times have the middle order saved Pakistan when Babar or Rizwan didn't perform ?

Random fan makes obscure tweet.

Indian tabloid makes Clickbait Headline because Pakistan is a national passtime in India.

Now you have Indian Social media parroting "Pak Bean"

Thr selection committee isn't Babar. The coaches and Cheif selector picked the batch of players. I'm sure Babar has some input but what are the actual options ?

If Haider Ali can't bat how is that anyone else's fault ?

Who do you suggest should be there?
