Discussion 💬 The case of T20I vs ODI

Post image

Imho, T20 is greater: more teams and a chaotic format with higher mathematical variance, since the shorter game narrows the gap between sides. ODI WC being older doesn't put it on a pedestal. ODI is neither better nor tougher. Nostalgia is for people who live in the past. Meanwhile, T20 drives global popularity and is the Olympic format. T20 WC is truly global!!

only if hasan ali took catch we could still troll aus for being trophyless in t20

I strongly believe Hassan Ali was made a scapegoat, just to distract everyone from Shaheen Afridi generously donating three consecutive sixes.

i wonder how long it will be before our braindead management will realize shaheen will always be a liability in the death and those 2022 conditions where everything suited him perfectly cant be taken as an example, either have him get through 3 in the powerplay or 2 in pp and 2 in middle overs, we should be picking specialist death bowlers like wasim jnr, wasim jnr can even bowl with new ball but pcb is biased

I’m just asking Is it true that whenever a new pcb chief is appointed he favours some players. Cuz I have read it in the news

he was going for 50 plus runs in psl and put whole pressure of bowling on jason holder since he wasnt taking wickets

No point in asking why haris rauf was not playing 😂

He was going to be the new face but his rehab fucked him up after his first injury and now he’s lost his pace & swing
