rizwan you would be in team if you had a corrupt mafia backing you despite poor performance, a best friend as captain, or a father in law with connections to keep you in the team.
What exactly is the thought process here? the WC is in SA and youβre preparing square turners? Then you pick only two fast bowlers, one of them being Rauf and yourβe fifth bowler is Shadab who cant even bowl 4 overs let alone 10, this Shaheen Agha era needs to end ASAP
I swear to god Iβm not even being biased but when Babar is fully in rhythm, heβs by far the most gorgeous batter to ever touch this sport, literally like everything looks soooo effortless, the balance, the timing, the pose, it genuinely feels like poetry sometimes
Babar Azam at his elegant best! A picture-perfect cover drive races to the fence π

In South Africa, made 23, 73 & 52 in 3-match ODI series

Class player!
These are the top ODI batters since 2005, ranked by impact per match in matches involving only the top 10 ODI Teams (withBan/Afg without Zim)
Unfortunately I can't see here another Pakistani after Babar .
