Usman Tariq off the mark in the Vitality T20 Blast with a good spell Overs–3 Dots–5 Runs–17 Wickets–2 Wherever he goes, he manages to make an impact with his unique action—this time the commentator on broadcast coined a new term for it “the statue ball”

If you’re going to prepare such slow surfaces to achieve smaller goals, why not be more brave with team selection? Australia were 72-4 before Shadab was introduced Had Muqeem played, Aussie batters would’ve struggled more in the spin tangle they were in

Losing on a deliberately prepared slow, spin-friendly surface to an understrength Australian side, with their lone frontline pacer taking 4 wickets🤐 Tells you all you need to know about whether this “slow pitches” formula is the right approach or not.

3 for 32 today for Mohammad Abbas as he records his best figures of this season. The county stalwart had managed just 8 wickets in 6 innings before this game. Not the sort of return Pakistan will be hoping for from the leader of their attack ahead of the England tour.🙃

Anywhere else in the world, that length sits up nicely to be dispatched through the midwicket region. On these pitches, its barely getting above ankle height before hitting the stumps. Very disappointing from the think tank to advocate such surfaces.😑

Abrar-Arafat-Agha combined Overs - 25 Maiden - 1 Runs - 97 Wickets - 8 Economy - 3.8 ———— Shadab Khan Overs- 8 Maiden- 0 Runs- 54 Wickets- 0 Economy- 6.7 On a pitch where rest of the spinners troubled the batters, Shadab Khan looked the weakest link🙃

Shoaib Akhtar “After our 2003 WC loss to Australia, I was alone in the gym with all Australian team. Each one of them did 1000-1200 high-intensity reps. I also did around 800 reps and we then headed to the pool. Ponting asked me ‘Where’s your team?’ I said, ‘They’re resting’ 🤣

Abdur Rouf on fancy terminology in Pakistan cricket “I once faced Shoaib Akhtar-M Zahid and could barely see the ball. Back in the dressing room, the coach lectured me about ‘center of gravity.’ I replied, I can’t even sight the ball, and you’re talking about center of gravity😂

Asad Shafiq “Sarfaraz once went to the livestock market and bought a goat for a very cheap price. He was happy, thinking he got a great deal. But when he got home and started playing with it, one of its horns came off in his hand—it was just glued on”🤣

- Shaheen hands the ball to Rauf and passes his cap to Faisal Afridi. - Faisal suspects something and keeps a keen eye as Fakhar enters the scene. - Haris-Fakhar-Shaheen exchange a few words before ball is handed to Fakhar. - The ball condition looks altered. 🎥-PCT Replays 2.0

Nadeem Omar reveals Shane Watson benched Rutherford in 2024 Eliminator for disciplinary reasons despite his request to play him “That turned me off. Watson rightly wanted strict Australian-style culture but I decided not to bring him back as coach because it could not work here”

Rashid Latif urges Mohsin Naqvi to hold grand seminar with stakeholders and ex-cricketers to reform Pakistan cricket through collective input He also hinted at one notable name missing: “He’s not here…the one who should be invited is not here” A clear reference to Imran Khan.

Salman Butt says Journalists didn’t counter Shaheen with relevant questions “Siraj played 5 Tests in England, Cummins won titles, Starc won an Ashes—none of them lost pace. You haven’t even played 20 FC games; if rest matters, why play leagues and not rest against weaker sides"

Predicted this a month ago when I posted about Farhan as a must-pick in the PSL auction👇🏼 He showed again today why he’ll be regarded as the best spin-hitter in the country, to go with his elite fielding. I’ll say it again: the scouting culture in the PSL is non-existent.👇🏼

M Wasim “What Hafeez said was absolutely right. If Babar scores in the PSL, we imagine the Pakistan team around it. But these same players have failed in the last 5 ICC events” “I’d rather pick a youngster with 200 runs in PSL than someone who scores 400 but is a proven failure”

Rashid Latif “When batters were set, even with Babar in the middle, it didn’t look like world-class batting. They were just playing routine shots—something you’d expect in club game. If this is how we are going to play against this bowling attack, then better not to play at all”

Khurram Manzoor said “My mother wanted me to get married, but honestly, Younus Khan had advised me not to marry before 32” “During the famous Galle Test, he pointed out 2–3 players and said, ‘Look at their situation, these guys can’t even bend their backs” 🎥[Fawad Alam YouTube

Nothing against Rauf, but posts like these paint a misleading picture of what actually happened in the game. In reality, he conceded 49 runs in 5 overs during his opening spell, with Aashar Mehmood taking him apart in a blistering 73 off 49 balls🔥 This is how it unfolded👇🏼

Rumman Raees on Babar Azam: “There’s no doubt about Babar’s class, but I feel his longer-format game is being affected by his poor returns in T20s” “My brotherly advice to him would be to retire from T20s respectfully and focus on the other two formats” 🎥-[Fawad Alam Youtube]

Shoaib Akhtar “I’m telling you, the Australians training is such that if you see them without shirts on, you’ll think they’re bodybuilders. They all look like Bruce Lees. No player in the world can train like that. That’s why Mitchell Starc is still bowling this fast at his age”

M Wasim on 1st ODI pitch “This shows the mindset. You just want to win this series, not prepare for the storm ahead. The planning is to extend life of decision makers. If we’re preparing such pitches against this Aussie side, we’re not preparing for WC but just saving our jobs”

Rashid Latif “Many domestic performers are ready for Test cricket, not just PSL money. But same old players are picked straight from T20s into Tests and ODIs A whole generation of middle-order batters has been ruined. We’ll keep criticizing, and informers will keep reporting”🤷🏼‍♂️

Shoaib Akhtar takes a subtle dig at Babar Azam😳 “There was nothing in the wicket. The pitch wasn’t as difficult as it looked. He just sat out for no reason—you should have played the match The positive was Azan, who now has as many FC hundreds as Babar”

Pakistan had limited options beyond Shan, especially with Saud's form dipping over the past two years But turning back to Babar, despite his own struggles, is an interesting call. The bigger issue—lack of pace in bowling attack, still remains unresolved.

Salman Butt “Despite playing at this level for so long, Babar Azam has never developed the sweep shot or use of his feet against spin. He doesn’t open up his stance and just pokes at the ball. So spinners know he won’t attack them, and on rank turners, they keep bowling at him”

Yahya Hussaini claims “A player whose child was born told a foreign coach, ‘Today I’m happy, I’ll perform well. But due to language barrier, a management member acting as interpreter told the coach he didn’t want to play. He was dropped and replaced by their preferred player”😇
