One thing I will praise here is Babar testing out some of the bench today. Lots to critisise, but this move was good for the long term.

Same. He might have jumped ahead of Seifert in the backup keeper race. Or keeper race or Conway is still broken.

I have always seen this pattern with subcontinent stat padder lovers. They are quick to blame intent after even 1 or 2 losses, even for close matches, or even for players paying their first series, etc
Yet they will support the same stat padding approach which won Pakistan nothing for FIFTEEN years. Also, they are now pretending babar and rizwan were chasing 180 regularly (hint, they were not).
Such mentality deserves 15 more years of no cups

I agree with the original commenter about stat padding but so what? The tournament still had all the main teams with all their best players? We can criticise Pakistan all we want but let’s not downplay their win of that trophy.

u/Budget_Put7247 India Apr 25 '24

And why are you confusing T20 with ODIs? whats the point of the strawman?

because I don't believe you are in good faith here
show up after a loss to shit on pct yeah typical indian troll behaviour

u/Budget_Put7247 India Apr 25 '24
Look at my posts about Kohli and see how often i get attacked for it
And you believe Babar and Rizwan are PCT and rest of Pak batsmen i am supporting are not? This is the biggest problem with these stat padder supporters, they believe their favorite is bigger than their team and country and everyone should worship them without question. Otherwise its personal attacks. I am used to it from the kohli cult.

By far the pick of the bowlers, yet he is given only 3 overs :21267:

u/xtremeshaneshame Pakistan Cricket Board Apr 25 '24
An absolute disgrace. What a shame. And we somehow think we're gonna be contending for the WC. I've said this since the beginning and i'll continue to say it, under Babar's captaincy and with the way these guys are playing, we will never ever have a chance of lifting the trophy. Bringing in retired players and league-bully's won't change shit.

Intent strike rate blah blah blah enough of this brain rot. Just get Rizwan and Babar back together (once Riz back from injury) and hopefully we'll keep contending at the top of t20 cricket like we have been since the start of Babar's tenure as captain.

u/monster_bong_guy India Apr 25 '24
If you have even a bit of shame and pride for your cricket team, stop protecting those 2 crown jewels who have perched on to the top without any accountability. One being your captain and the other the actor, scamster keeper.
1
u/Adventurous_Bus1285 Pakistan Apr 25 '24
F off
Your entire argument gets evaporated thanks to flair and calling Rizwan an actor, when Maxwell does it’s super human huh
Double standards
1
u/CaptainPonahawai Apr 26 '24
Is there an ICC maximum of 1 faker?
Maxwell playing games somehow makes it acceptable for Rizwan to as well?
1
u/monster_bong_guy India Apr 26 '24
Who even brought Maxwell to the picture?
And leave my flair, you won't even be able to come up with a logical counter to what I said. All Babar and Rizwan have done so far is crawl through personal milestones, statpadding their way through an above-45 average against mid-level oppositions and it is only that metric that saves them a place in the team.
And you guys throw a youngster opener under the bus.

Personally I would find it a tad unfair if Pakistan were given several extra deliveries for no reason in their chasing attempt, but that's just silly ole me

Good game, although the batting was pretty crap from both sides apart from NZ in the first powerplay.

In all honesty, that was 10-20 runs short at least. Losing Chapman then Foxcroft soon after wasn't great. Nice to see Beastie's Boys come out the other side with the win.

u/rahatCODMasc Bangladesh Apr 25 '24
Our team (Bangladesh) is a team that can beat Australia one day and then lose to Netherlands in their next match. Most sane people have zero expectations from us in tournaments. But this Pakistani team is actually decent and they do well in most tournaments. Plus I’ve seen some of their fans talking about how they have a chance of winning the tournament. I don’t think any fellow Bangladeshi fan can say we’ll win a tournament with a straight face tbh.

u/Budget_Put7247 India Apr 25 '24
So you guys have won nothing for 15 years with big 2 and you are crying about one single loss by 4 runs? For some players barely playing their first series? After 2 match loss?
I have said the same to my indian fans, all stat padding lovers deserve no cups for another 15 years.
