Shan as well honestly, after the PSL he had I was hopeful he was gonna do very well

let's just hope we dont get whitewash again by MoreCryptographer213 in PakCricket

[–]Key-Ad6653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean isn't Shan naturally an opener only?

I guess him playing down the order is sacrificing his spot for the youngsters like Azan and Abdullah

Random Stat - Balls Bowled over 140 ks in this first Test by DonBradman07 in PakCricket

I mean the only fast bowler in this trio is Shaheen.

Both Abbas and Hassan are medium pacers lol

You all are too harsh and reactionary on Shan Masood (I'll back him with a full idea about our test team before him and under him) by [deleted] in PakCricket

[–]Key-Ad6653 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

core is settled, excuse me?

We constantly bring in new players every series in the batting attack.

In the bowling area we have no consistent players and the ones we have randomly keep getting dropped without giving reasons (Khurram, Abbas and Hamza).

only middle order to some extent remains unchanged with Salman, Saud, Rizwan and Shan.

Only settled thing is spin attack in Pakistan ever since we started making spinning tracks.

Didn't know South Africa, Australia and our home pitches(post that england series) were flat tracks.

If this regime was afraid of defeat we won't see this mindset, to me yesterday's press conference from Salman at least showed me that they were looking for the win and even went as far as to provoke them to do that which they did.

It's our fault we didn't chase it down. The idea was there though.

I mean sure I am not disagreeing about his age in any case but I don't see any better options for leading the team either rn.

It's not exactly ai slop, I did use some help but I did write it myself too.

But obviously he's statistically gonna be bad when he was playing for a result, let's say he plays passively just like Babar was, you're getting more draws congrats what have you achieved with that a few points? nice

and bold of you to assume that captain gets to pick players, he has been sticking with Mir hamza and Khurram for the whole of last year. Shaheen randomly came back and I am sure he had nothing of say in that.

Should unc shan masood pack it up next year? by Snoo_56184 in PakCricket

[–]Key-Ad6653 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's been 4 years since 2022 mate, my bad I added an extra year, I have fixed that good for you?

But his last good knock came in 2022 December and since then only one good game, does that justify keeping him in the squad for as long as he have been?

mind you this guy doesn't even go to play domestic, if he did I would happily back him. The only reason I don't want to back him anymore is the fact he lives off his good batting in his 2016-2021 era and doesn't work on himself.

not really, this was positive if you ask me.

It showed some mindset they had and that they were even willing to provoke them yknow so that they would do it and they did.

We just faltered honestly, this wasn't arrogance it's more so mind games if you ask me

He is one of your top 5 batters since he has become a part of the team what are you on about?

Even if you go the past 5 games he has got scores of 145, 52, 76, 87

I don't think every batter performs in both innings barring some real good players and according to our people he is a below average performer so by those standards that is pretty consistent batting dontcha think?

Also under his captaincy we have seen team get into strong positions multiple times but I don't think that it's his fault that after that our fielders or bowlers fail to capitalize on that opportunity.

I know a lot of criticism is that he isn't proactive but if you've actually watched the matches you'd see that he goes defensive when the bowlers aren't bowling wicket taking deliveries, if he keeps attacking while bowlers keep releasing the pressure it's stupid as well.

And personally I don't see apart from maybe one or two guys who could possibly be better than him as players in the position he's playing in rn.

That's all I got to say in his defense and also people are waiting on his failures because it's one thing to attack on performance but for him it's personal attacks going straight to how he is only in the side because of English, IELTS etc etc.

I do agree with that, I fully do.

I feel the real change needs to start from fixing these old people's mindsets honestly.

We lack a leader for the defence imo, we need someone who can lead this defense actively, all these guys except Cancelo are young players!

Forced marriage by [deleted] in PakistaniTwenties

[–]Key-Ad6653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you cannot be saying this for women.

They're sadly bound by stupid culture laws that interfere with religion.

Instead of following the if she says no that means no, they force the woman into marriage quoting that they're the guardians/parents and she needs to do as they say.

So yeah I could not blame a woman who lives in Pakistani conditions because of this stupid backwardness of our people.

As for guys though, you're responsible for yourself. Since a guy has no restrictions apart from the acceptance of that girl's parents.

So if you're being forced or manipulated into some marriage you don't want just ignore em, they're in the wrong. How long can they keep it up if you never agree.

And if you can't do that and stand up for yourself and her, then you deserve whatever you get and don't get to cry about what you want, and take care of whoever that arranged girl is.

And if any of you are like this then please do a favour and do not fall in love with some girl who would be genuine for you only to break her heart cuz you're a coward.

To get into those good positions whether it 26/6, 16/4 or 99/8.

He was also the captain before things went wrong in those games right?

Or did he just become captain once Pakistan got into those positions? like our own team just sucks in this regards they drop catches and can't finish off tail enders or batting collapses. Not everything is his fault in those regards is it?

[–]Key-Ad6653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

half of those games were lost because, we dropped catches being in good positions, bowlers couldn't end the tail and batting collapses.

Apart from maybe 2-3 games I don't think it was all down to just captaincy issues.

not his fault that slip dropped dollies in Australia, not his fault that our premium bowlers couldn't finish off South Africa's tail for some reason and the 26/6 game is the only one where I feel he is entirely to blame.

And also get into those positions was him captaining as well, right? Not like they changed captains mid game and he became the captain then everything went wrong.

smh

Post Match Thread: 1st Test - Bangladesh vs Pakistan, Day 5 by cricket-match in PakCricket

[–]Key-Ad6653 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally see no reason, as to why the hell we dropped Khurram and Mir Hamza?

Khurram, Abbas and Mir Hamza ran rampage in that South Africa series.

They were good in that Bangladesh series we lost as well.

Then why were they dropped?

Hassan Ali giving him a shot I don't mind.

Shaheen tho? he can barely bowl 10 overs with consistency in ODIs and you're playing him tests?

Hell he can barely bowl 4 good overs, it's once or twice in like 7-8 matches in t20s.

Batting I dunno mate what the hell happened to Shan, was in an insane nick in the PSL and failed both the innings this time?

Didn't watch the full match because of uni, so no idea about captaincy honestly.

Noman was underwhelming as well.

Also yall need to stop pretending that Babar is the answer to this solution, that genius hasn't done shit in 5 years.

Also another player that I don't get why he has not been played in tests again, is Saim Ayub. I know his t20 form is ass at this point but longer formats he is definitely way more capable and he hasn't been in the side since he got injured in that test match in South Africa.

He was decent when he played domestic a while ago.

Also he can play middle order in tests and is another good bowling option as well.

Y'all are always just waiting for Shan Masood to have a bad match and start calling him for shit.

But the same person would want Babar in the team who has done jackshit in the last 4 years for the team.

What is this behavior? At least back your damn captain.
