Basit Subhani wouldn't have been Basit Subhani without your kindness 💐
Thank you for all the warmth, care and love for decades ❤️

@ErikaMorris79 Yes, they bowled well but then, Pakistan is a much weaker test side relatively.
We will have to see, how they fare in South Africa.

[Basit Subhani @BasitSubhani]

@ErikaMorris79 33 wickets at 23 in 2025
9 wickets at 27.55 in 2026

He comes as a 4th pacer usually. His bowling numbers are right up there.

With the bat:

496 runs at 31 - one century
58 runs at 10

He hasn’t been his old self with the bat but as a bowler, he was England’s best bowler often!

[Basit Subhani @BasitSubhani]

@benstokes38 That’s no good. Was hoping for an Ashes comeback!

[Basit Subhani @BasitSubhani]

@ErikaMorris79 Stokes got 4 centuries and 10 half centuries against Australia!
Averaged 37 and scored 7 centuries under Root. He can turn the game around on his own any given day both with the bat and the ball.
He will only make the team stronger

[Basit Subhani @BasitSubhani]

Faheem Ashraf is turning 33!
He averages just 15 with bat and horrific 45 in 47 ODIs for Pakistan. Rana has shown glimpses of brilliance here and there.
But, he still has time to shine and if he can get that average in mid 20s striking at Strike Rate of 120’s and bowling average in mid 30’s for the rest of his career.
He can become what Pakistan desperately needs. And, if you can have Faheem and Arafat playing in same team - you can get a great balance!

Remembering the legendary Shammi Kapoor - the Elvis Presley of the East on his birth anniversary.

The flamboyant star of Indian cinema, known for his unmatched energy, iconic dance moves and magnetic screen presence, had deep roots in the historic cities of Peshawar and Lyallpur (now Faisalabad).

Picture 1: A rare glimpse into the Kapoor family's history in Peshawar, circa 1940. Raj Kapoor is seated on the left, with young Shammi Kapoor beside him. Standing second from the right is Surinder Kapoor, father of Anil Kapoor.

In another picture, the iconic Kapoor Haveli in Peshawar, built between 1918 and 1922 by Raj Kapoor's grandfather, Dewan Basheswarnath Kapoor. Raj Kapoor was born in this ancestral haveli, while Shammi Kapoor also visited and spent time at the family's ancestral home during his childhood.

From Peshawar's historic streets to Bombay, the Kapoor family remains an enduring part of the region's shared legacy.

This went viral on Threads. Thankfully, there is still some humanity left

@BasitSubhani Great performance when his team needed it and that too both with bat and ball.

@BasitSubhani Maaz Sadaqat can start working as a chef then? He is the real deal

[Basit Subhani @BasitSubhani]

@tds122 Basic stuff. Tongue plays any day. Dawson would have been handy if not life Arafat. Surely, would have troubled the batsmen. Quite a sensible bat too.

The basic was to take the chase deep down. Even 10 an over is achievable in last 5-6 overs!

[Basit Subhani @BasitSubhani]

I truly appreciate Salman Ali Agha for being such a team man!

Wrote before as well, you don’t have to be the captain of the team to be the leader. The way, he is happy for Arafat’s success is delightful ♥️

Star Allrounder.

[Mir Za⁵⁶ @Mirza143146]

@BasitSubhani Proper all-rounder 💯

[Basit Subhani @BasitSubhani]

A Star is born in the cricket world ⭐️

Always had the potential but, tonight is the night he has done against one of the best teams in the world both with the bat and the ball.

59 runs made at SR of 102 coming in at a difficult position, and then 6 wickets for 40 running through the strong English batting line up. Phenomenal performance!

Shabash boy. Keep it up 👏

[Basit Subhani @BasitSubhani]

Arafat proving his class both with the bat earlier, and now with the ball tonight!

[Basit Subhani @BasitSubhani]

Big wicket for Naseem - Root gone and the game is in balance now
