While we’re in this very happening season of Indo-Pak engagements, plugging an old song of mine “Ab hum Kia karain ge Sadion tung jung larrain ge, Phir Kia? Kub tuk yay khel karain ge, Kin naslon tuk jhelain ge, Phir Kia? Here’s to better times.. open.spotify.com/track/5hKMc4nC…

It feels increasingly unreal that I grew up watching test match spells by bowlers like Wasim, Waqar, Shaibee, Mushtaq, Saqlain….kia Pata tha aaj jaisay din aur aisay bowler bhee daikhnay parrain ge. Thank you PCB for running Pakistan cricket into the ground. A job well done

Babar azam these days reminds me a lot of how mohommad Yousuf was before his crazy run. Just a complete tease, always looking good, serving the appetizer but leaving right before the main course comes out #KLPD

So Babar, looks like he’s getting a little leg side of the ball. I kinda remember him batting like this in his first tour of England

When Pakistan cricket’s greatest writer mixes a scathing critique with a sad, almost hopeless longing for better times…

That dismissal is Shan’s career in a nutshell.

@PakCricFanatik @RezaAli1980 I’ll give him some credit for the knock vs NZ. But then again you can also find the odd flutters like that in Shan’s career. At the end of the day, both are privileged shit players who have got to play a lot more than their mediocre talents deserved

@PakCricFanatik @RezaAli1980 Ramiz averaged 31 in tests. Got to play 57 tests despite having such a SHIT average. Got to be a captain of Pakistan because of privilege. Got to play 198 odis with an ave of 31 and SR of 63. Because of him Saeed Anwar had to sit on the bench for a lot longer than he should have

Shan masood is this generation’s Ramiz raja. Please discuss

Ate and left no crumbs 🔥🔥🔥

Not sure in which universe a test batter with an average of 30 and a mostly losing captaincy record gets to keep his job for so long. But I guess being able to say the right things in press conferences is more important than actually executing on them.

The decline in white ball has been so regularly visible,I’ve become numb to it. But tests happen so rarely, these defeats still sting. I believe we can be a little better in tests. We saw 2 debutants get more than 100 runs each. We just need to get rid of tried failiures

Three losses against Bangladesh but somehow Mohsin Naqvi and Shan Masood will continue in their roles. Fucking disgraceful.

Imam aur shan masood hammaray gunnahon kee saza hain. The eternal champions of mediocrity

There are certain things that are eternally maddening about Pakistan cricket that are not about talent. Like Rizwan will clearly see the ball dropping short but he will not adjust where he is standing. Shan will watch the ball fly past first slip but never put in a 2nd.

This is such an unwatchable bowling attack.

How does one not select Shadab, Babar, Usman and Shaheen for the Pakistan team when their stats are still so far above the other local players ?

Hyderabad have taken over from the Pakistan team in providing the Haal of Pakistan cricket.

@MazherArshad We need to move on from him in the national t20 setup.Hes successful in PSL because he’s used to playing most of the local bowlers and there’s not a lot of quality here. International cricket mein yay one over of wrist spin kee maar hai Better to have him focus on longer formats

I have long held this view that Babar Azam's ideal position in T20s is opening with an aggressive striker at the other end. That's why he is so successful in PSL and is able to play those long innings. Since 2025, he has opened 28 times in T20s but not once for Pakistan.

Was a terrible call & injustice to both Pakistan fans & Sufyan Muqeem to not have him in the T20 WC squad for SriLanka.All those responsible/ defending the call with weak ass arguments should hang their head in shame.Good on Muqeem to show them the mirror with ths stellar PSL

Sarfraz could be a good coach but the way we have fast tracked him into the national team’s coaching is precisely what we did with Misbah. And it almost never works . The right way to do this is to have sarfraz coach at grassroots level for a few years and get his feet wet
