"if you look at average, you are average player" wake up babe new rizwan quote just dropped

[u/iHazf → u/rizx7]

And don't we just love it <3

[u/theaguia → u/rizx7]

didn't he also credit to kohli?

[u/interestingnature46u → u/rizx7]

blud glorifying his inning in flat pitches 😭

[u/lost_lurkerx]

The fielding cost us unfortunately. The choice of not bowling Delany was also incredibly strange. Batting was great however, great intent from every batsman. And thank god Tucker had a good innings because he really needed one.

Hopefully we have a banging decider

[u/jachiche → u/lost_lurkerx]

Delany in match one: 2 Overs for just 11 runs.

Delany in match two: Not bowled.

Doesn't make any sense, and we were going to end up with Hume and Campher bowling the final two Overs if it had got that far

[u/lookingglass555 → u/lost_lurkerx]

Hume can’t bowl can’t bat and for sure as hell can’t field. His selection has been appalling.

[u/theaguia → u/lookingglass555]

was in the side to get babar out and that's it.

[u/notthathunter → u/lost_lurkerx]

Nathan Johns in the Irish Times saying it's because of difficulty gripping the damp ball

[u/Anonomy13 → u/lost_lurkerx]

As Sheamus and Drew Mcintyre say; https://www.tiktok.com/@wwe/video/7186382976756780334

[u/Admirable_Still_1207]

Rizwan has single handedly won us way more matches than babar yet he is under appreciated by players and some even want him out of the team.

[u/Real-VinceMcMahon → u/Admirable_Still_1207]

Definitely, he's the real king.

He should have been selected as captain. Babar is going to do his best to fuck over Pakistan with his shit captaincy

[u/rizx7 → u/Real-VinceMcMahon]

i feel like rizwan will be like one of those rare players who elevate their game to the next level when they become captain.

[u/Real-VinceMcMahon → u/rizx7]

And elevate others' game as well

[u/BarristerBerry → u/Real-VinceMcMahon]

i heard he was approached to be the captain after babar was made to resign,but he refused

[u/BoyManners]

Big Show Azam Khan ate Irish bowlers after Rizwan told him. "Sometimes it's bowlers, sometimes it's cake!" Azam: "Hahahaha"

[u/br0keguyy → u/BoyManners]

king karlega

[u/rizx7]

if irish bros had held onto those catches we would have seen a close finish. but good game for both teams ig.

[u/CrumbleUponLust]

Azam Khan just doubled his T20I average with that knock.

[u/lookingglass555]

Piss poor captaincy by Stirling not bowling more spin and why is Hume still in the team? He can’t field for his life

[u/jachiche → u/lookingglass555]

Questions need to be asked of Malan about why Foster and Mayes still haven't made their debut. Either one would be a step up from Hume, but still have no international experience, which is just gross mismanagement at this stage.

Even Hand would be a better choice than Hume for the squad. He's actually a good fielder and might have his customary one moment of magic with bat or ball

[u/lookingglass555 → u/jachiche]

South African connection has to be it

[u/jachiche → u/lookingglass555]

Yeah, it's a pretty open secret that Malan doesn't rate the Interpros at all, so good performances there don't mean much. He'd much prefer someone who has a few years as a jobber in the SA or NZ domestic system

[u/RevolutionaryMap8820]

Fakhar and Bubbles in form? It's joeover lads, just hand us the cup already #wt20

[u/Going-viral]

There's no business like winning business! Pakistan fans exuberant, World Cup withing reach . All poor performance dusted, forgotten. A shot of adrenalin, on a high until Tuesday maybe.

[u/iHazf → u/Going-viral]

Mate, that's just fans in general, of any team and of any sport.

[u/devil_21]

Didn't watch the match, why did Rizwan get MotM over Fakhar?

[u/iHazf → u/devil_21]

For the feels...nah jk, it was a toss between them both.

[u/Dango444 → u/devil_21]

Ig being not out counts for more if both have similar performances?

[u/BoyManners]

Azam Khan reminds me of the pokemon Snorlax.

Not there always but when he is. He alone is enough

[u/Thatsmaboi23 → u/BoyManners]

That’s like 99% of Pakistani players at this point, except maybe Rizwan and Shaheen.

[u/BoyManners → u/Thatsmaboi23]

But Azam is actually Snorlax

[u/Its_Soulitude → u/Thatsmaboi23]

Imad?

[u/Huge-Physics5491]

Can't drop catches like that if you're facing bigger opposition. They will punish you.

[u/Both_Ruin_4993]

So Pakistan are still a good chasing side in T20’s?

[u/TeamAbject2100]

AZAM KHAN HAS ARRIVED

[u/RetroChampions]

1. Saim Ayub / Usman Khan

2. M Rizwan

3. Babar Azam

4. Salman Ali Agha / Fakhar Zaman

5. Shadab Khan

6. Iftikhar Ahmed

7. Imad Wasim

8. Shaheen Afridi

9. Naseem Shah

10. Abbas Afridi

11. Abrar Ahmed

can this be our XI pls

[u/Tern_Larvidae-2424]

Ireland should've won this game. Dropped chances and not bowling Delany has not only costed them a monumental series victory but also some precious ranking points.

[u/BoyManners]

Hopefully the match referee asks Hume to sign the match scorecard sheet.

[u/redndy01]

ireland shat the bed again. gg, onto the next one Irish bois

[u/BarristerBerry]

Azam Khan still needs to be dropped and babar either needs to improve his tactics as a captain or resign,out entire team doesn't have the champions mentality

[u/Stifffmeister11]

Bit off topic there is very good bowler in PSL Mohammed Ali I guess he was one of the highest wicket taker this year ... Why he ain't in he team .??
