New Shahid Afridi just dropped

I appeal that @Aislabie is banned for this heretic statement

Wouldn't read too much in the win, won't be surprised if this lot manage to muck it up in the next game. Or in the future when they play actual full time cricketers.

the pakistan team has just given all their fans a lifejacket and then there's people like this who'd rather just drown

For example Hasan Nawaz has literally no standout numbers to my eye. Is there really no one better, even at his age/ playing style? I just feel bad for the guy tbh; there's 0 chance he could immediately make the step up

Maybe the Pakistan international selectors are better at selecting pakistani players than me

I don't think you can drop Rizwan and Babar despite this result

Too late.
The only drop they can experience now is dropping off their couch when they see that scoring quickly in the Powerplay is actually possible

I wouldn't really read too much into today's match tbh as it was what like a 50m boundary? Hassan played an incredible knock no doubt but hopefully we see the positive approach from Pak batters in each match when needed.

Life jacket wont fix anything. I doubt even a scuba diving rescue squad could do much.

Also Cricket 07 had bigger boundaries than this man.

Considering we couldn’t even dream of such an innings by Babar or Rizwan, it’s a good start

Good to see young cricketers coming to fore amd performing.

Its always the youngsters with fresh mind, fresh approach and fearless attitude that takes the center stage and builds the team for the future.

I hope better sanity prevails in the PCB team management coaching and whomsoever is involved in making selection and backing the right players.

Babar Azam is sneaky with his power shots

 

[Pinch hitter]

Good solid win = Bad worst lose...
Prefect balance from Team Pakistan...

No matter who is captain, who is in charge of the board, who is the coach, who is in the XI. Pakistan gonna Pakistan.
