Twitter calls out Gulbadin Naib's captiancy after New Zealand loss
It was a tough day on the field the for Gulbadin Naib, as he couldn't contribute much with the bat or the ball and even wasted both his team's reviews - while batting and bowling. The Twitterati were quick to slam Naib and his captaincy decision which has cost Afghanistan the match.
Brief scores: Afghanistan 172 in 41.1 overs (Hashmatullah Shahidi 59; Jimmy Neesham 5-31, Lockie Ferguson 4-37) lost to New Zealand 173 in 32.1 overs (Kane Williamson 79, Ross Taylor 48; Aftab Alam 3-45, Rahmat Shah 0-21) by seven wickets.
Learn from MS Dhoni!
Odd captaincy by @GbNaib. The pressure is getting to him. Calmer nerves prevail. Simmer down. #AFGvNZ #CWC19 #AfghanAtalan

Now that is harsh!Â
Gulbadin Naib is the worst captain in cricket history #AFGvNZ #ENGvBAN #MeraBhaiBest #ReleasePrashantKanojia #SunilGavaskar #Shakib

Woah! Calm down man!Â
Confusing why @ACBofficials made #GulbadinNaib captain of the national. He might be a good tailor, but no way near to captain the national team. He needs to concentrate on his sewing clothes business, Eid is in two months. #CricketWorldCup2019 #afghanvsnzealand

This was bizarre!Â
Why on earth Gulbadin Naib is Captaining Afghanistan?#NZvAFG #Cwc2019 either Nabi or Asghar should do the same with immediate effect @ACBofficials @MohammadNabi007 @rashidkhan_19 170 odd on the board looking for wickets and no slips..

don’t know for what he is saving Rashid!
Maybe this is the problem that Afghanistan need to solve!Â
It’s going be a serious struggle for Afghanistan - Rahmat is an acceptable part-timer, but as a 5th bowler bowling 10 overs he doesn’t inspire confidence. #GulbadinNaib is frontloading the innings with his main 4 & hoping for the best.#AFGvNZ🏏🇦🇫🇳🇿@guerillacricket @GuerillaSA

Agreed!Â
#GulbadinNaib is one selfish reviewer! #NZvAFG #CWC19

Fans are really pissed!Â
Worst thing happened to Afghanistan Cricket is their current captain Gulbadin Naib. Very self centered player. #AFGvNZ

This World Cup doesn't look good for them!Â
Afghanistan perhaps has lost th plot & might end up finishing last in #cwc19. Pretty ordinary gameplay & Gulbadin Naib looks quite mediocre in captaincy. Harsh but doesn't suits as a captain.🇦🇫 3/3 wins for NewZealand against SL BAN AFG & they'll now be facing tough contenders.🇳🇿
