@DeafMango Nahi yaaaar

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

A genuine question around A/B Team discourse when Pakistan plays any opponent:

Is this current team a Pakistan A team or Pakistan B team?

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

We would rather have a Hasan Nawaz, a pure batter playing up the order or have a pure bowler like Sufyan bowling 8-10 overs instead of this version of Shadab.

There is only one Steve Smith and he plays for Australia.

[Shahid Hashmi @hashmi_shahid]

Shadab as a batter only … just like Steve Smith converted to batting after starting as a leg-spinner … any takers ?? #PAKvAUS

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

@armanmahar89789 Hahahah quality of shots. A win is a win buddy.

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

Only ONE of these two players are in the ESPNCricinfo’s greatest 25 cricketers of the century list and it’s NOT the batter.

NOT one of the 25 greatest players of this century according to Cricinfo.

Shahid Afridi 102 Destroys India At Their Home | Pakistan vs India | 5th ODI Kanpur 2005

Best from any Pakistani against India in 🇮🇳

Day/Night Test matches are the obvious solution but the ICC continues to beat around the bush.

[ESPNcricinfo @ESPNcricinfo]

The ICC has approved a trial of switching from a red ball to a pink ball before the start of a Test that is likely to be affected by bad light

Clarity from the PCB management??

No way!

Good on Hesson for clearing up some air.

[Mike Hesson @CoachHesson]

I've been hearing a bit of chatter about the pitches here in Pakistan not being the ideal preparation for the World Cup in South Africa. It’s actually a topic I talked about on the latest #PCB podcast.

Firstly the World Cup is jointly hosted in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Zimbabwe and Namibia have venues where spin is a big factor and we will be playing matches in those countries.

The myth of all pitches in South Africa being quick and bouncy are just not true, there are definitely some which are but they also vary throughout the country.

Those that remember the last ODI series Pakistan played in SA which included Paarl where spin dictated the outcome of the match. Rest assured we have competed significant research and will be using the next 18 months to prepare for a variety of conditions.

We’re happy to announce KSI is joining Backward Point.

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

KSI quits Sidemen collective after 13 years https://t.co/7RLttA5kFy

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

Not on Cricinfo’s top 25 greatest players of the century.

[Martial @coverpoint_]

One of my most favorite cricket watching moments. Razzaq smashing McGrath at SCG.

Clearing his front leg, holding his shape and toying with the field. Very rare that McGrath gets frustrated to such extent.

Iconic five fours in a row.

@azkhawaja @AatifNawaz And that would be a bad argument because of course he does.

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

Arafat Minhas has put half the Pakistan team plus some on the bench on ABSOLUTE NOTICE.

The new guard of PCT is here.

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

Arafat Minhas fittingly hits the winning runs after starring with both bat and ball as Pakistan take a 1-0 lead in the series

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

Solid fifty from Ghazi Ghori on what’s been a tricky surface.

Not sure if Pakistan have found Rizwan’s replacement yet, but this is a good start.

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

Arafat Minhas becomes the first Pakistani to take a 5 wicket haul on ODI debut 🚨

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

This is probably true, actually.

[Aatif Nawaz @AatifNawaz]

Pakistan's Greatest Ever ODI player is probably a tie between Wasim Akram & Shahid Afridi.

[Backward Point Pod @point_backward]

An insanely amazing stat!

[ESPNcricinfo @ESPNcricinfo]

Mind-blowing 🤯
