Well played Sri Lanka
Big L to Fakhar, pagal da bacha payn paysh karda ae hur dafa. Kushdil te asif te bas conductor ifthikhar nu Chohta L
What happened to Mr. Asif Ali? I hit 150 sixes daily. Trust me bro.
AgreedPakistan don't have hard hitters
But that doesn't mean we should bring in tulla players like Iftikhar, Asif Ali and Khushdil
Babar needs to select people on merit instead of selecting them on his personal like or dislike
He also needs to be more focused on his batting. He looks out of focus when he is batting nowadays
Agreed
That is why I am asking to drop Asif Ali, Khushdil and Iftikhar.
If it is too late as the WC squad deadline is 15th of September tben at least drop Asif and idealy khushdil or Iftikhar but Asif is must
Nawaz is a bowler who can bat sometime.I agree with that
all 3 of these clowns can't be dropped. But at least iftikhar has no place in this team. Same for khushdil
Fakhar needs to be kicked out too. He is an embarrassment now
@Hyde
Also since you have good knowledge of cricket
Can you please explain why Nawaz bowled only one over today? And also why he wasn't sent right after fakhar was out just like India match?
Do you see logic in above two decisions by babar?
uska right pe escort dene wala Rohit Sharma to nhi ?
For WC, I would bring Babar back to No 3... And Shan Masood open with Fakhar or Rizwan. I would bring Fakhar/Rizwan back in the middle order to stable the middle order. Something like thisBabar should bat at 3 and let Fakhar and Rizwan to be the opening pair bring Haider Ali at 4 and Shan Masood at 5 rest of the squad is pretty much bang on.
Iftikhar and Khushdil arent good players they are only there for their power-hitting flukes whilst Haider Ali and Shan Masood are classy players and Asif at 6 makes perfect sense for a power hitter followed by Shadab etc
Babur azam clearly cannot play against a new ball he is very weak when it comes to line and length so naturally batting 1 position later is best for him, Fakhar and Rizwan opening pair
Nawaz is a bowler who can bat sometime.
Iftikhar is a batsmen who can bowl sometime but in the last few weeks there was a growing criticism on Babar that he would never bowl Iftikhar and only rely on full time spinners.
Today he decided to test Iftikhar and he ended up a taking a wicket with just 8 runs leaked. Babar probably thought he would be criticised again if he did not give another over to Iftikhar. So he gave him another over in hope of wicket but he was very economical in it giving just 5 runs in it. He was 13 for 1 after 2 overs so Babar decided to give him another over.
He was economical until that moment and giving any over to Iftikhar meant the full time bowlers would not complete their quota. Shadab was already bowling from the other end so only 1 over was left for Nawaz. In my opinion he should have taken one over off from Hasnain and give it to Nawaz
For Nawaz's batting... India was caught by Surprise when Nawaz came on to bat but in my opinion Shadab is a much better all-rounder and should have been sent after Iftikhar got out. Khushdil and Asif are not in form (they have never played good international innings besides hitting 3-4 sixes) which added extra pressure on Shadab and the rest of the team.
We should have sent Shadab at number 4 (I know he was injured multipe times during the match but still, i would trust him more than Khushdil, Asif and Nawaz).
Nawaz I heard came as an opener but Moin Khan encouraged him to focus on bowling instead, he can hit hard but he is not a reliable batsmen.
For WC, I would bring Babar back to No 3... And Shan Masood open with Fakhar or Rizwan. I would bring Fakhar/Rizwan back in the middle order to stable the middle order. Something like this
1) Masood
2) Fakhar
3) Babar
4) New Batsmen
5) Shadab
6) Fakhar
7) Rizwan
8) Nawaz
9) Waseem Jnr
10) Shaheen
11) Naseem
Oh bhai you can't just promote players down the order based on 1 or 2 inningsFor WC, I would bring Babar back to No 3... And Shan Masood open with Fakhar or Rizwan. I would bring Fakhar/Rizwan back in the middle order to stable the middle order. Something like this
1) Masood
