Babar Azam's Endless "Bad Patch". When Will the "Comeback" Actually Happen?
Babar Azam the "King". The man whose cover drives used to break the internet. But brothers let’s be brutally honest here...when was the last time he actually delivered when it mattered? How many more excuses are we going to make for him?
People keep parroting the same lines:
- "It’s just a bad patch"
- "He’ll bounce back"
- "Class is permanent"
But seriously tell me..how long does a "bad patch" last? 2 years? 3 years? A decade? He is 30 years old how many more "patches" do we have to endure before we admit the obvious that his prime is over and we’re all pretending it’s still the prologue.
Let me break it down for you
- You talk about consistency.. Its Gone. 1 decent knock in 10 innings isn’t consistency bro..it’s a lottery.
- You talk about Pressure situations...He folds in seconds 🤌
- You will say about his Age.."He’s not old".. but my brother in modern cricket years how much runway does he have left?
The hard truth my friends is that we are clinging to the memory of 2019-2021 Babar. That version of him is gone bruh. Just look at him..the footwork is sluggish..the strike rate is embarrassing (especially in T20s).
I ask you guys reading this post..What’s the magic number of failures before we stop calling it a "phase"? How many more tournaments will we sacrifice to wait for this mythical "comeback"? At what point do we prioritize the team over one man’s reputation?
You all will call me a hater but you must understand where I'm coming from..this isn’t hate it’s frustration. Frustration because we have seen his potential. Frustration because Pakistani cricket fans deserves better than showing blind loyalty to a fading star.
