Never forget that Rizwan was dropped to accommodate a player with an inferior skill set than him and to appease a certain mafia.
The highest score by a Pakistan batter in the series 👏
Mohammad Rizwan fell short of a 💯 but he did well by taking on Australia's bowlers 🔥

It's people like him and their thoughts like these which make me love and respect our current lot of cricketers more and more.
Slow & dead pitch.. above all low intent so far fading out chances of result in this historic test match. One team have to play very poorly to give a result in this test match. Result oriented cricket is the future of Test cricket not dead drawn games please 🙏

Unbelievable that Shan is being applauded for "fighting out there".
1. Shan was dismissed for a paltry score of 30. The standards are shockingly low if this is considered a respectable score for a top order batter.
2. Shan was required to see off the remaining 15 odd overs

What a sad existence.
They won't stop campaigning for the lesser player because playing the victimhood card is above Pakistan cricket.
Rizwan drops a catch off Travis Head when he is on 4
But no one will say anything because it’s not Sarfaraz.
Just imagine if Sarfaraz dropped this catch? You would see 100’s of videos posted.
I still believe Rizwan is the best keeper in Pakistan. But we should be fair.

When someone brings players' salaries and endorsements into the argument, the argument dies right there. They are employed by PCB and are being paid for their services by the board. Ridiculous stuff.
Also, the fans can't ridicule players if they have a cry after a loss.
Every player/team has good & bad days but the insanely ridiculous captaincy is just unforgivable. Babar gets almost 50 lakhs/month + match fee+ endorsements. Cricket is his job. You can’t make rubbish decisions at work, come home & cry about being scolded for them

This is getting ridiculous.
Babar got to 83 off 46. Four balls later, Saim was out. THAT'S when Babar lost the momentum. Also, even if for argument's sake, one says Babar slowed down over his next 20 runs, did Powell slow down to score a 100 as well? Or Babar made him do so?

Fakhar was woefully out of form. He had only two scores of 30 and above in the last 10 innings. Then there was the injury. Anyone saying Babar preferred Imam because he is his friend has a really poor knowledge of the game.

Guess it's good that that culture is changing. What Babar is saying is perfectly understandable.
When someone is as good as him, the meme culture takes a backseat. The focus shifts to performances, something that can't be done in the case of those with no performances.
