@JolyonMaugham does it really matter.. the last cabinet was the most diverse ever… what did that result in?? rather see best person for each role rather than box ticking…

@Amermalik12 excellent well balance critique… proves you can give your opinion without being disrespectful… the guy has talent but shortcomings are too apparent on the international arena… and looking at fast bowler every big team has I dnt see how he can perform against any top t20 side

Have been mailed, WhatsApped, and even had smoke signals enquiring about Azam's inclusion; for one I don’t pick the side. Period. Two, I'm not the type to lay into a kid when he's down. I've seen enough hatred directed at players on these platforms, which is completely unacceptable; nevertheless, based on his performances, there are concerns about his role as a middle order bat and his lack of consistency - both with the bat and keeping. Out cheaply, again, missing crucial catches. Unfortunately, this will lead many to question his fitness levels, as it seems to be the easiest target. As an observer, I can honestly say that I have witnessed no overt improvement in that area. In international cricket you can’t hide your faults, you will be found out very quickly, and I’m afraid to say he has been. Finally, I believe his selection for the World Cup was based on his performance in the CPL. In franchise cricket, you won't face 11 international players in each game; some are barely talented enough for this level - it can instil you with a false sense of security, and in this case, may done just that.

@krick3r also key difference was bowling of all the spinners on show.. shdab was comfortably the worst and I think essentially cost us the game - 160 target would b comfortably chased by this team..

You win some, you lose some. Pakistan couldn’t overpower the bowling prowess of England but their batting approach in this loss was still better than before. Uncharacteristically, there were no extended periods of (re)building and none of the batters put unnecessarily high value on their wicket and most of them went out playing shots rather than trying to take the game deep and losing it in the end anyways. Its a mindset shift for Pakistan batting, it may not produce immediate results but its worth the effort and commitment in the long run.

United not given a chance today, Liverpool end up winning carabao cup with kids v Chelsea. And it’s the 25th May if you need another reminder 😜

@Amermalik12 what message this sends to likes of abbas afridi, ihsanullah, mohd ali, zaman khan and all other young domestic bowlers. Someone can turn their back on team 3 yrs ago chasing league money but PCB still come begging

It was on the cards following Imad's return; if selected, it would be a complete disdain for the built-up team unity, probably causing even more turmoil than his first comeback in 2016. What's next? Jatt as Team Media Manager??

@utggondal @danishK109 mehran also decent batting can b gd no.8 add zaman and rizwan shaping up decent squad.

@danishK109 Saim Babar Shadab Agha Azam Ifti Jamal Shaheen Naseem Mehran Abrar This combination will be hard to beat in Carribean conditions

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made) I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

@elonmusk 4% of world population is like 300million ppl.. average US net migration 1-2 million p.a so will take over 150 years to get extra 300mill moving here

The US construction industry can increase available housing by 1% to 2% per year. But the US population is only 330M out of 8B. So if just ~4% of Earth moves here, housing would need to double, which is impossible, causing a massive homeless problem and house prices to be astronomically unaffordable.

This needs to be reposted a million times Piers Morgan getting caught lying again He is caught again with his pants down 👍🏾💯💥🤣

@lanahm00n @ShoaibMKhan as she is already in UK (i assume on a spouse visa) then Its their COMBINED income for next visa extension will have to be over £38k… until she apply for settlement. crazy how they just doubled financial requirements without any formal explanation around it…

@ShoaibMKhan I really don’t understand how this will work in practice. My friend’s wife is American and has just given birth to their daughter here in the UK. She earns way less than £38k. Are they really allowed to just split up families like that?

So the £38,700 income threshold *will* apply to spouses of British citizens who are already in the UK. They need to satisfy new, higher threshold when applying for extension of their visas. This is unbelievably low and appalling, even for the Tories. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

This swing Shami/bumrah have been getting all tournament is another level

@shysteee2018 @tezilyas

I just came across the story of Rachel Corrie. She was an American citizen who went to Palestine and was in Gaza protesting to stop houses being demolished by IDF. She was crushed to death by the IDF bulldozers in 2003. IDF argued they never saw her🙄 Please read up on her.

This is incredibly insightful about how desperate life in Gaza is right now:

@AzharMahmood11 @AzharMahmood11 I would argue babar meeds to attack: reduce pressure on fakhar, we only chasing if fakhar still there until 40 overs..

Babar needs to play as an anchor and the rest of the guys can continue being aggressive. If you lose a wicket here by both being aggressive - then they may just stumble. They need to keep doing what they’re doing . #PAKvsNZ

@GNev2 @GNev2 we have football director.. John Murtough appointed 2021. He was put in charge of the Football side when Woodward left. joined club with David Moyes in 2013 as head of Football Operations. So rewarded for all the success we ve had 🤦‍♂️

In the last 4 days we’ve seen right in front of our eyes where you end up with over a decade of awful decisions. Fortunes wasted, anger turned to apathy, our reputation destroyed at home and in Europe ,infrastructure well below standards and we all can’t wait for a total change in leadership. The Covid inquiry is no surprise 😉

On my way up to the gantry last night I bumped into Dan Ashworth. He transformed the FA’s structure, set Brighton up for this incredible period of success and has now built a strong foundation for the new owners at Newcastle. He’s competent, highly qualified and knows what he’s doing. Will work with his coach , recruitment team and other departments coherently and calmly. In the last two matches Manchester United have played two clubs that have installed proper football departments to support the team on the pitch and off it. The complete opposite of United. We haven’t got a sporting director! I used to travel up to Newcastle and feel sorry for their great fans when the energy and enthusiasm had been sapped from them under Mike Ashley. It was painful to see. Last night we saw the Theatre of Dreams turn into the Theatre of Nothing. Every single United fan bored and flat . On the pitch the players in shock, the performances woeful and a manager struggling in front of our eyes. We’ve seen it before, we know how it ends and we’ve had enough.

@Mendelpol Conflict of interest formally investigate by 5 man commiteee. Izi has stepped down until he clears his name. I had to summarise to clear it up in my own head.. typical Pak Cricket disaster off the pitch at a WC.

@Mendelpol story 2 Reports of Inzi+Rizwan being directors in same uk company which acts as players agents advisors. Earlier story few days earlier named plyrs Rizwan, Babar shadab shaheen and many more all have same agent who has great influence on team squad selection.

I have no idea what's going on with Pakistan cricket, and I don't have the energy to search.. someone sum it up for me in a tweet

@Mendelpol story 1 Chairman Zaka has been distancing himself from PCT perform issued statement assigning blame to Babar and Inzi.Rashid latif reported that Chairman is ignoring Babar attempts to contact him.Zaka did interview with reporter refute this. ARY news shares babar private msgs.

@a_leesha1 Exactly a bunch of careerists.. see David Lammy and another govt minster admit as much… basically say we are going to be in govt soon so cant take sides.. disgraceful
