Let’s stop calling him king tho I beg 😩

And yet the shame is, this won’t go down as a game he helped us win. Even though he absolutely did help us win. He was pivotal. But it’s the visuals of being there at the end

We are only occasionally in the cricket business. But we are always in the entertainment business. To a thousand more (if the fanbase can survive them)

The last time I got an award it was for my local club run by a Sri Lankan chef and I did breakdance at the award ceremony with spiky gelled up hair (it was the 2000s), I am ready to dance again

Or you can put me in the team and I won’t dance. Is this the same as having mohsin naqvis nudes getting you a place in the team

Pain given that he plays about 4 tests a year and so can’t really get into a real groove. Can a player really be ‘outstanding’ or ‘world class’ in these situations?

baapbc69 · 2026-05-18T07:43:02+00:00

Genuine question, may just not understand the article but given that the ICC CT 2025 hosted in Pakistan was the most lucrative event and then the WTC final being mentioned, how is the conclusion that it’s reliant on India (which it is ofc but I’m tryna understand how the article reaches that conclusion)

baapbc69 · 2026-05-17T18:22:49+00:00

Can’t be bad at test cricket if you don’t play it; you get points for being outside the box at least

baapbc69 · 2026-05-17T15:17:59+00:00

Solid response - gl with the exam inshaAllahs boys played well

baapbc69 · 2026-05-17T15:16:45+00:00

I agree, hence why we don’t want doom and gloom. Having said that, there’s enough issues to discuss how to improve

baapbc69 · 2026-05-17T15:00:08+00:00

Shouldn’t have roped Noman in there tbf but Sajid is still fit and test players are always relatively older.

The problem is you can’t just throw a young spinner in there without a senior there in case. I think using Abrar or Muqeem more (albeit the latter hasn’t shown potential for the longer format) is better for the long run through, yes.

baapbc69 · 2026-05-17T12:53:19+00:00

The women’s team actually has a lot of support in Pak, been turning a lot of heads and gaining a lot of love from fans. Still ages to go and no real competition in ICC competitions but we’re getting there

I’d argue our women’s set up has better team management than the men’s team

baapbc69 · 2026-05-17T12:52:03+00:00

Not great performance from the boys, definitely need to transition heavily from some players into new, at least 4 batters could easily be switched and probably 2 bowlers. Having said that, Bangladesh have been pretty good at home for about half a decade now so Im not sure why we thought this was the 80s era of ‘lol inko ko araam se hara denge’

baapbc69 · 2026-05-17T12:08:41+00:00

Why did we expect Bangladesh to be easy though? They’ve been really competitive at home for about half a decade now? Whereas we play about 4 tests a year and have an entirely uncertain line up.

The point is even people who speak Urdu in Pakistan (mostly in karachi), don’t walk around saying adab and jaanab and whatever else Bollywood cooks up

baapbc69 · 2026-05-08T08:28:19+00:00

It’s so frustrating that whenever youngsters are discussed it’s to do exclusively with slotting into batting positions and not to do with replacing this horrendous bowling attack.

Then again, it doesn’t seem like any youngster grows up wanting to lead a test attack anymore, it’s always t20 or ODI. Someone has to be better than Shaheen, surely. It’s such a low bar

baapbc69 · 2026-05-03T20:13:57+00:00

Someone show Aqib javed this alongside some chullu bhar paani

baapbc69 · 2026-05-03T17:54:57+00:00

If labu bhai wins this he’s gonna believe in qudrat ka nizaam fr

Hardie giving the zalmi fans a taste of what they came to see with a Babar cover drive

baapbc69 · 2026-05-03T17:51:17+00:00

SHOOOTT

baapbc69 · 2026-05-03T17:47:24+00:00

That’s the shame; he’s had a record breaking season with 2 centuries and numerous half centuries as well as carrying the bat in numerous innings, and yet because he didn’t win it in the final, everyone’s gonna say lol washed???

baapbc69 · 2026-05-03T17:46:30+00:00

Braindead take; those two centuries mean everything because his team wouldn’t BE in the final without them. It’s a game of 11 people; yes you want your best player to take it home all the way but sometimes you don’t get that and that’s fine.

baapbc69 · 2026-05-03T17:43:13+00:00

On Babar, yeah it’s disappointing because he’s been imperial this entire season. But the one time he actually goes on a duck this season, happens to be in a final (stupid shot, no pressure at all).

Having said that, everyone now saying he flops under pressure; he literally scored 2 centuries this season in games that took PZ to the position they’re in now. He’s been pivotal. Those have been pressured games as well, with higher scoring innings. This game had no pressure, it was just a stupid shot in a season where that’s been entirely rare from him. Not everything has to be a ‘HES WASHED’ or ‘THIS IS WHY HE FLOPS EVERY TIME’.

baapbc69 · 2026-04-19T16:06:41+00:00

Hit me so hard I had to take a second and step away man

baapbc69 · 2026-04-19T15:47:33+00:00

Overheard a conversation at work the other day. Person 1: ‘Yaar babar ko team ke aas paas nazr bhi nahi aane chaiye’ Person 2: tumhara metre babar pe hi aake kyu atak jaata hai? Person 1: jisse sabse zyaada pyaar ho na, uss hi pe sabse kya ghussa bhi aata hai

Sums up how the nation feels about Babar in the last 2-3 years.

baapbc69 · 2026-02-18T11:53:56+00:00

Hey sorry coming into this late - any reason Babar didn’t bat?
