Few teams in sports are as unintentionally hilarious as Pakistan, but even then this one takes the cake. Who else could achieve a run out with these many LOLs? A clip from episode 6 of #battafast Watch full episode: Listen:

I have respectfully refused a contract to play in the ongoing season of BBC Match of the Day as I believe I have some unfinished business with my podcast @batta_fast and I want to carry on domestic podcasting in Pakistan. I have always believed in putting Pakistan first, and I wi

From Episode 7 of #BattaFast , Wasim bhai explains the mentality that made him the GOAT. Extremely validating stuff for Lahoris also, right at the end.

Batta Fast will be playing at the World Cup! We will be doing live shows after every Pakistan match, the knockouts, and a few others. The first episode takes in the shambolic opening, the #ENGvsNZ game, and Pakistan's chances at the tournament.

Asha vs Lata, Junoon vs Vital Signs, Lennon vs McCartney... Which of these famous duos represent Wasim and which represent Waqar? Osman and Ahmer go deep into the Ws rockstar images. #battafast

We asked @wasimakramlive about this three wickets in the 1992 final, and what it meant to take those two wickets in two balls. His answer: "job is done" Watch full episode: Listen on Spotify:

We know that @wasimakramlive 's two wickets in the 1992 final changed Pakistan cricket forever, but @karachikhatmal argues it also changed Pakistani politics as well. From the 5th episode of #battafast Full episode:

Gen Xers on the TL have consistently pointed out Rahul's hair from 1990's Aashiqui as the archetype for this hairstyle, even before Wasim.
This hairstyle had an interesting background. 1990 Rahul Roy’s Ashiqui released. Everyone panned him for first 3 months on his hairstyle. After 3 months all boys had his hairstyle and the world changed.

@HaiderHasa the dab, scoop, ramp etc and other shots the go behind the keeper are standard in T20s now and none of them are proper cricketing strokes. as osman pointed out, T20s didn't prevent David Warner from being a test beast.

@usmanahmad505 @karachikhatmal @OsmanSamiuddin i think at first glance it felt like Babar had been fooled by movement but if anything, it might have kept a little low and to me it felt like an unforced error from Babar. but to the commentator's credit, anytime you send the bails flying against a top batter, it's a gem.
