For me, Saim Ayub never reminded me of Saeed Anwar simply because of how Saeed's backlift would start from slip and then the last min whip through off or leg. Both are different but both are wonderful to watch
I love you guys so much. On a long drive from West Virginia to Pittsburgh and I listened to you guys for an hour. Made the wife listen to it as well lol.
Having seen Saeed Anwar become a constant thorn in our side during the 90s, I remember how much terror his batting carried. Therefore, comparing Saim to Saeed just yet is kind of a long throw for me at the moment. However, having seen Saim bat and on more thought, I realised Saim is the closest to Saeed compared to all the other lefties Pakistan have had as openers (Taufeeq Umar, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Butt, Sharjeel, Fakhar, etc). None of them looked as elegant as Saeed or how 'flowy' and 'easy' Saim looks on the crease. Still has a long way to go and I really hope and wish PCB don't fuck this talent up and just let him be.
Isn't Babar's batting aesthetically pleasing? His takedown of Steyn a few years ago was as aesthetically pleasing an innings as any Pakistani batter has played in recent times. Most of the cricketing world admires his batting for how easy it looks on the eye especially his off-side play!
@ That's very true. Lefties do look better, but I thought babar atleast deserved a mention, especially considering how much Osman used to drool over him around the 2019 period. Many people found sanga very methodical but to me he was as sexy a batter as any that has been in the 21st century. So yeah lefties and left-footed footballers (I love Messi too like you lol), every day of the week!
I am very surprised why the influence of Sharjeel khan on Saim is never discussed. I remember he used to play together with Sharjeel khan in domestic cricket couple of years back. The pickup shorts that he plays are very Sharjeel khan style shorts. Opening with Sharjeel khan as a young kid had that kind of impact on him.
Guy please buy one noise cancellation mic each 🙏 lastly which highway are you guys sitting on? So much background noise, it actually kills the fun of your podcast.
You had to mention the no trauma part 😂 Literally, I was so frustrated with this 1st test being a competitive match despite low or no expectations from our team 😢 especially how the batsman thew away their wickets
What has switched on Shaheen in your opinion? Is it Rizwan giving him some confidence but then Rizwan dropped him from the test series, so not really sure what makes Shaheen tick
Give credit where it’s due but I feel like we’re forgetting the PCB dropped Saim from the T20 squads for Australia and Zimbabwe - his inclusion in the latter only came after his 100 in the Zimbabwe ODIs. Just pointing it out as it wasn’t unconditional backing and like all decisions with the current set up it was last minute with no real long term plan.
yeah a friend also pointed this out, but to me the fact he last 5+ innings across formats was insane. Given the huff and puff over his shot-selection, felt he would be banished
On the other hand, what has happened to Naseem? He has gone from being our most threatening bowler to one who is being scored off the most. In Aus and now in SA where the pitches are supportive, he hasn't made any impact on the game
Listening to you guys right after we "just" lost to South Africa... wohi baat thi k bus hath ko aya mu ko na laga! Absolute shit captaincy by Shan, batsmen threw away the wickets more than Saffer bowling taking it.
If you squint your eyes, at a certain angle Usman looks like a victim of Stage 6 or 7 of male pattern baldness with that background and crown (no disrespect).. Love the pods always!

Ahmer- you are so funny. I love you guys.
Btw when will Osman upgrade his camera?
pehli line tak chorr dete hahahah
Ahmer bhai aaj traffic jam hai ghar k bahar?

good point, tho the coach Hanif Malik has been given a lot of credit for Saim and others. Hope to have him on sometime
Absolutely right j Kallis and s pollock was missing.
Ahmer on top form today. The SA vs Aus bit and overrate point docking bits were gold.
Love your analysis! What do y’all think about Irfan Niazi?
great fielder and handy bat

This hit like crack after the test series loss.

Bhai Tum chup nahi hogay?
The WTC qualification part KILLED MEEEE 😭😭

No bro on what basis he should perform in red ball

Hes a run machine. Basically a worse version of Harris Rauf. Muhammad Ali ko try kia jasakta hai agar experiment karna hi hai.

Ahmer bhai, you mentioned mo-yo but babar has to be right up there in terms of just elegance, deserves a mention for sure!
he is definitely
He reminds me of Lara not Saeed Anwar . He has more of a calypso flare . His pull and hook are much better than what Saeed Anwar had .
On the other hand, what has happened to Naseem? He has gone from being our most threatening bowler to one who is being scored off the most. In Aus and now in SA where the pitches are supportive, he hasn't made any impact on the game
Okay ghareebo ke Sikander Bakht.
I don't know why but I wanna see ahmer and zakir khan Collab
another millions subs later
@BattaFast or maybe Ahmer could start a cricket/football standup relatable to life gyaans 🤩

Why not compare him to lara , saeed anwar was good but is not really regarded that high outside of pakistan. I hope he has a career more likelaras
