Mohammad Rizwan may perhaps be the most CLUTCH player Pakistan has produced since Miandad. He & his freakin balls of STEEL are the difference! The guy was genuinely laughing full “chill mahol tey mithay chawl” scene in the first over of the match. That mindset make a big diff.

People need to use a little more common sense and actually take biased blinders off. This was actually one of the best decisions of the WC, and the 3rd umpire read the ultra edge graph beautifully. The wave runs from left to right. The wave shown here is at end of time frame>.
That is an absolute shocker of a decision. How on earth do you not spot the shadow between the bat and the pitch. How do you decide that is not an inside edge? . #T20WorldCup

Immature to say the least…lets wait for PCB’s official statement. Safe to say though player payments have never been a problem of note wth PSL. It’s a core facet of the PSL that we tried to get right from the start having learnt frm deficiencies of other leagues & thr failings.
1/2.I apologise to the Pakistan cricket fans. But unfortunately I’ve had to withdraw from the last 2 matches and leave the @thePSLt20 due to the @TheRealPCB not honouring my contractual agreement/payments. I’ve been here the whole duration and they have continued to lie to me.

Why we always went with the draft system for the PSL from the start. This is the most competitive league in world cricket. Hope its not ruined by some miss conceived notions about auction. We knew what we were doing.
Every franchise has now won a PSL at least once. I think @SillyTiddy may have some thoughts on this.

Pakistan having started as Kings of the T20 format when the initial WCs took place in the late 00’s, saw a significant decline in our performance in the format and WCs from 2012-2016. Practically speaking this is the first T20 WC in the post PSL era. The PSL Gen has ARRIVED!.
Four out of Four! 🙌.Congratulations Pakistan, a dominant performance has confirmed a semi-final spot!!. #WeHaveWeWill | #PAKvNAM | #T20WorldCup

The wave CANNOT be the ball hitting bat because that wave would first register on the left side of the time frame not the extreme right side. Learn to read ultra edge / sound graphs first. Then pass judgements. If you can’t read them, stay silent.

Today / the last two wins triggered by Asif have really actually been Data’s win. Rarely has Data been given a chance at the international level in Pak cricket. Playing players wth the right match ups; at the right positions; at the right time during the game MATTERS!.

Which means it is registering the sound that occured very very very slightly before the freezeframe. That is the sound of the bat hitting ground. The bat hat hit the ground and was on its way up already, hence the gap >.

Will also be the first men’s WC where significant Pakistani origin fans will not be present at venues adding their distinct flavor to the global event, a staple of WCs in the modern era. This due to no visa policy being devised for the second biggest cricketing fanbase. Shame!.

Got to be pretty low on the IQ charts to think you’d be able to control wht @SAfridiOfficial is going to say by calling owners of channels. This is SHAHID AFRIDI we r talking about; the biggest cricket brand we’ve produced since IK. Incompetence & stupidity are a deadly combo.
Media houses kay owners ko phone? 😱. Shahid Afridi hits back at Zaka Ashraf who most probably exerted pressure on him via Aleem Khan owner of SAMAA TV.

Add Naseem and Abrar to the mix, and give Saim Ayub a run at least…makings of a good Test team. On field smart captaincy is essential in cricket, can’t do without it. It was refreshing to see it after a long time in a Pakistan match.
The result didn’t go Pakistan’s way in Melbourne but Shan Masood’s performance as captain and batter is a big positive for the team. The field placings and the bowling changes showed he is a shrewd technician. Most importantly his personal form is going in the right direction -.
