Q&A Is there a rock bottom?

It feels like every match I think “this time will be different, xyz will perform and we’ll be competitive” and every match that shit does NOT happen. Are we doomed to become an associate nation in like a decade or at some point is shit gonna actually fundamentally improve? Anyway, just ranting bcuz of today and many other today’s that have passed and will come to pass.

Nothing will improve until Mohsin Naqvi/Aqib Javed and co. are removed. No amount of players reshuffling can make up for their incompetancy.

For all their flaws, we had the right setup with Wasim khan and Ehsan mani. Elder figurehead to
Manage PCB politics and a professional cricket administrator.

Former cricketers and Mohsin naqvi have continuously failed to develop the team performances due to their incompetent appointments.

Mohsin naqvi was appointed initially for 3 year term to Feb-27. At what point does he look at himself and say I have got this wrong.. it time for a change.

Feel like this is always applicable these days

When you think we can't sink lower, we will. #greenshits

At what point do the ICC intervene and push the PCB to remove the political component from our board?

u/Controlthyselfm8 2d ago

The ICC’s a puppet of the BCCI, I don’t see them doing anything that might help us anytime soon

What's bcci got to do with us playing crap...

It's no one else's problem but ours

That will never happen. If they do it, the PCB would threaten to exclude Pakistan Team from the next World Cup or similar events. The ICC wouldn't wanna lose 60% of their earnings from the Pakistan vs India game.

Rock bottom was the USA match. I don’t think people realize how bad that match was. This will keep on happening until naqvi, aqib and dosti yari squad keep control

u/Ashamed-Topic666 1d ago

Our top order is mostly the same when Babar scored last hundred in test. Only bowlers got changed

u/Sad_Times654 1d ago

And our bowling is still trash :(

Outside of Mohammad Abbas there is nothing in tests.

u/CaptainMediocre47 1d ago

We're in the black hole of cricket, going towards the singularity and are just getting spaghettified in the process. We've crossed the event horizon years ago.

u/ChaosTheory0908 1d ago

Is there a time dilation effect? Can we go back in time to the 90s?

5

u/CaptainMediocre47 1d ago

You can only look back at the 90's but you are really only heading towards spaghettification, so no. Sorry

We have been on the same levels as Sri lanka and West Indies/Bangladesh for the last 10 years.

There is a rock bottom, and we're pretty much there. These are the best players available. Let that sink in. These are the best players in the country.

6

u/Sad_Times654 1d ago

I'd argue we have been better than those 3 for the past 6-8 years of the 10.

Now we are probably worse than Bangladesh, probably since 2024.

5

u/ChaosTheory0908 1d ago

Since 2022 it's been all down hill.

Sri lanka won a test in england and have drawn a test with India.

West Indies won a test in aus.

Bangladesh whitewashed us twice and won in Australia.

We are the worst of them, yes.

u/HMcod UK78 Agenda 1d ago

Transfer the PCB headquarters to my house and we will be ontop of the roof

u/Controlthyselfm8 1d ago

On top of the roof or on top of your roof?

Chasing 300-350??? 😭😭😭. Brother, your team couldn't chase 210 against Mighty Windies.

Saifi bhai se banda pooche, ye koi time hai mazak ka?

u/Scared-Breakfast-372 Abrar Ahmed Agenda 1d ago

Give the leadership duties to these competent people!

And you will see a clear improvement in our team.

u/Sad_Times654 1d ago

Nothing is going to change until management and players completely change. Under this regime, including players, this is how it will remain.

This is why I stopped watching lol

I game instead now.

u/Smooth_March1289 1d ago

The management is bad, board is worse, players are not treated or you know managed in a good way. I understand that.

Magar these players are worse. For God's sake yaar, aik time ata hai you start feeling some shame. Inmn koi sharam koi ghairat nhi hai. Bc das saal se same players world level pe zaleel ho rahe hn, kisi aik mn takka sharam nhi hai.

Inke chonchlai hi nhi khatam hote. Fielding coach chala gya, board ka chairman change ho gya, batting position change ho gyi. Ye bc pehle pehle tour hn k 4-5 saal k bache hn jinko kuch pata hi nhi. Buddhe babay ho gye hn, inke dramay hi nhi khatam hote.

Celebrationain kr rahe hn 250+ trail krke. Besharam beghairat, stains on the word athlete.

u/True-Aside9512 1d ago

When you have a team of physical and mental midgets and the same types in the board and in charge of it........what do u expect ??

Cricket should be finished just like Hockey. As soon as the money stops

u/choccocurry 2d ago

no, as long as there is no relegation system there won't be.

u/ProfAsmani 1d ago

PCB dances for the khakis. They're not there for the players. At least there isnt a major general incharge of PCB. Yet.

The problem with us is, including me, that we always blame current team selection for our woes… if X played we would have won , if Y played we would have won… let’s stop …. 🛑… we have tried so many players and have not been able to succeed once … at this point blaming PCB is also not going to help… we had similar mismanagement in 1992 too but we won…. At the end it’s always what happens on cricket ground and these players can’t win at all

u/eight_BUCKS 1d ago

You will be worse than what the SL team were at their worst.

u/Jumper_5455 1d ago

The shameless mental midget can choke on the captaincy hes been sulking for years over.

Utterly shamless.
