This is class from Pakistan. Namibia have shown why they—like many other emerging nations—should be given more opportunities on the world stage & it’s cool to see Pakistan acknowledge their efforts in the tournament. #T20WorldCup#PAK#NAM
Pak's chances of qualifying (let alone winning the comp) stood at 3% when they were 43 for 4 v SA, requiring to win that game, Ned beat SA & Pak beat Ban. Less than a week later they're in the final & have won four in a row. I believe I should say 'Qudrat ka Nizzam'. #T20WorldCup
Asif's been the PSL's best six-hitter since its inception. He had struggled to translate that to T20Is largely due to inconsistent selection & fluctuating roles. The moral of his success v NZ & AFG is to back talent, give it a clear role & sit back & let it shine. #T20WorldCup
India’s series win is one of the great sporting triumphs. In bio-secure bubbles since October, 36 all out in Adelaide, dozens of players missing: win in Melbourne & salvage in Sydney before ending Australia’s 33 year unbeaten run in Brisbane. The stuff of legend. #AUSvIND
Like Sachin’s upper cut off Shoaib & Stokes’ switch hit off Lyon that Kohli six off Rauf will be remembered as one of the great shots ever played. It clearly had a majesty that transcends numbers but using the @CricViz database it is possible to calculate how rare such a shot is.
What a brilliant comparison this is. Kohli out of his crease & with firm hands; Kane in his crease & with soft hands but both are making contact with the ball under their eyes. Same but different. #INDvNZ#WTC21pic.x.com/mYXXS67lhx
Kudos to @TheRealPCB for streaming all of the National T20 Cup on YouTube and for giving it a full & proper production. With just six teams & full availability of Pakistan’s internationals it’s probably the highest standard non-major league T20 comp in the world. #NationalT20Cup
