A modern Pakistan line up-without a single player aged above 30

[fazleefridi]

Teams are playing young and dynamic players, whereas pakistan is still stuck with oldies, accumulators and selfish players.

I have no relations with professional cricket, whatsoever. But even i can select proper players, despite being in India.

Then why can't the so called selectors, who are watching the domestics, select the right and deserving players.

No one can hide the bitter truth that Bangladesh is a better ODI team, than the CURRENT pakistan team.

England was much worse than Pakistan in 2015 wc. They decided to select players who can play modern cricket, and see where they are. Scoring 330+ scores for fun.

Yes, pakistan doesn't have the pool of players, like England. Still, they can select the players who can atleast play and compete according to the modern game.

This should be the playing 11

1.Sahibzada Farhan
2.Sharjeel Khan(If he hasn't fixed)
3.Babar Azam
4.Haris Sohail
5.Sarfraz Ahmed
6.Imad Wasim
7.Aamir Yamin
8.Shadab Khan
9.Fahim Ashraf
10.Muhammad Amir
11.Hasan Ali.

Batting:

- 2 Dynamic openers(Sharjeel and Sahibzada, Left and Right combo)

- Solid Middle order (Babar, Haris and Sarfraz, left and right combo)

- Players who can hit, at 6,7 and 8(Imad, Yamin and Shadab, Left and right combo)

- Deep batting line up (Fahim, Amir and Hassan at 9, 10 and11, Left and Right combo)

Seam attack:

-Amir and Hassan to bowl 10 overs each.
Fahim and Yamin(3 overs with the new ball), to bowl 6 and 4 overs.

Spin Attack:

Imad and Shadab to bowl 10 overs each. Good spin AR's.

Haris and Babar as part timers.

ABOVE ALL, NO PLAYER OVER 30.

 

[Rayyman]

Can this wait until after CT?

 

[Hamza_]

We have that Fat revolutionary as selector unfortunately

 

[fazleefridi]

Can this wait until after CT?

No it can't. Warm ups mei yeh haal hai toh socho asal mei kya hoga. Lol

 

[Rayyman]

No it can't. Warm ups mei yeh haal hai toh socho asal mei kya hoga. Lol

These are just warm-ups. We can win the actual tournament with the current team.

 

[Gaur Sahab]

You need players in their early to mid 30s in pressure situations. Youngsters can easily panic and make a mess of things in crunch situations.

Sarfraz is enough for a senior.

 

[Gaur Sahab]

Sarcasm ?

 

[Savak]

Age is crap, its all about the talent and abilities. A 40 plus Afridi can hit the ball big compared to the youngsters b/w 19-25

 

[fazleefridi]

This is the reason, Azhar, Malik and Hafeez still playing.

Lol. Lose as many matches as u can with youngsters than Oldies.

There is no such criteria like 30+, rather experience is required

 

[Rayyman]

You need players in their early to mid 30s in pressure situations. Youngsters can easily panic and make a mess of things in crunch situations.

No. Only need one. Malik is enough. Throw out garbage like Azhar, Wahab and Hafeez. They are useless regardless of the pressure.

These are just warm-ups. We can win the actual tournament with the current team.

Yes sure. If u have a hitter over 35, do play him. But if u don't have a hitter, play youngsters than oldies.

 

[Rayyman]

Sarcasm ?

No. I have seen this thread before. Inzi has and most likely will not induct youngsters.

 

[Gaur Sahab]

Age is crap, its all about the talent and abilities. A 40 plus Afridi can hit the ball big compared to the youngsters b/w 19-25

Talent is over-rated and there is a thing called consistency which Imad seems to have but Afridi never had.

In this line up you have 3 lefties and 3 righties in top 6.

But Inzi has stacked top 6 with righties.

 

[Gaur Sahab]

Malik is still good enough to play, can't say the same about other two.

 

[Ultimate]

This is the only way out for us. The above 30 players have the old generation genes in them, hence playing old school cricket. Anyone above 30 must be axed after CT.

Sarfraz should be replaced with Rizwan. We should stick with Rizwan, potentially better than Sarfraz, has the ability to hit boundaries with ease compared to Sarfraz. We shouldn't waste Rizwan in domestic cricket.

 

[fazleefridi]

Malik is still good enough to play, can't say the same about other two.

I partially agree with you. But where would you play him.

Sarfraz shouldn't bat below 5.
Babar should bat at 3.

Left is number 4. I would prefer haris over malik.

 

[Gaur Sahab]

LOL! Malik is gone but has outscored the so called youngsters with ease to keep the game interested. Although its going Bangla's way.

 

[Syed1]

Fazul team se umeed hi nahi lagani chahye

 

[Gaur Sahab]

Sarfraz shouldn't bat below 5.

Azhar
Shehzad
Babar
Malik
Sarfaraz

whats the problem ? Haris is like Dinesh Karthick.... not a regular in the side. SR is 82 almost equal to Malik.

I agree with this. Wicket-keeper should be young and fit. Rizwan is that. Plus, Rizwan has finished games for us before. Has potential as a hitter. Bat-speed is good and has ability to play unorthodox big shots. Sarfraz is 30 and unfit. Technique is too poor to bat in Top 4. Can't hit big so only option is at #5 where there are better options with Haris and Malik.

I think Malik can be the one senior allowed, because you need somebody who is calm and experienced. Malik is that. He can bat at #5 til next WC.

Only thing is that Sarfraz is here to stay so I am just spewing rubbish.

 

[sadida97]

Fielding may be a problem with this line up

Isn't Shehzad's strike rate in 70s ? Younis/Misbah would feel vindicated.

 

[fazleefridi]

Azhar
Shehzad
Babar
Malik
Sarfaraz

whats the problem ? Haris is like Dinesh Karthick.... not a regular in the side. SR is 82 almost equal to Malik.

1.Haris can play pace well compared to Malik
2.Left handed
3.Age less than 30, hence is a long term solution.

Above all, if malik comes in, hafeez would come in again. Saying even he deserves to play.

SO be strict against all players above 30.

 

[fazleefridi]

Fielding may be a problem with this line up

Just Malik's fielding would be missed.

Imad, Shadab, Hassan, Amir are good fielders.

 

[Gaur Sahab]

Then who's the other opener with Shehzad if there is no Sharjeel ?

 

[Hamza_]

Then who's the other opener with Shehzad if there is no Sharjeel ?

Shehzad should never play for us. Sahibzada and Umar Amin should open if no Sharjeel.

 

[fazleefridi]

Then who's the other opener with Shehzad if there is no Sharjeel ?

Sorry brother 2nd opener i mentioned as Sahibzada, not Shehzad.

Coming to ur question, either Amin or Tallat or Fakhar.

 

[fazleefridi]

Shehzad should never play for us. Sahibzada and Umar Amin should open if no Sharjeel.

I mentioned Sahibzada, but Gaur Sahab, Gaur se nahi pad rahe.

 

[Hamza_]

I mentioned Sahibzada, but Gaur Sahab, Gaur se nahi pad rahe.

 

[fazleefridi]

Really this line up would be a team to beat.

Fahim smashing to all parts, and still would bat at 9 in this line up.

Inzi uncle please post padhein

We should write an Email or letter to him.

 

[fazleefridi]

We should write an Email or letter to him.

I wish i could.
Coming to the fact. The selectors intentionally select the squads like the CT one.

There is something called bias, nepotism and seniority culture and pay roll. Which the selectors prefer over nation.

Shehzad should never play for Pakistan in LOIs.

True

 

[fazleefridi]

This is what you get with the youngsters. Look at Fahim. Playing fearless and modern cricket.

Azhar hafeez, tauba

Well analysed.

I am not in favour of retaining Malik, as his record against decent to good teams is not good, I guess. I will stick with my plan of axing anyone above 30, as we need to introduce youngsters, and the current youngsters mostly have modern cricket genes in them.

 

[Ultimate]

Isn't Shehzad's strike rate in 70s ? Younis/Misbah would feel vindicated.

If Shahzad continues to play with a poor S/R, then he should be dropped as well.

 

[Square Drive]

Acha bhai theek hai.

Aur kuch?

 

[Ellipsism]

Fahim isn't good enough as a bowler to feature in a three man seam attack.

Rizwan isn't a finisher...

Sarfaraz has a good enough technique. Don't know what your on about.

 

[Speedster777]

The main hurdle in our progress are these oldies azhar and hafeez. They should be benched. Fakhar and Fahim should play.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

You need players in their early to mid 30s in pressure situations. Youngsters can easily panic and make a mess of things in crunch situations.

So a guy in Mid 20s is a Youngster???? .........

On second thoughts Thank You Brother .......

 

[fazleefridi]

Fahim isn't good enough as a bowler to feature in a three man seam attack.

No that. But he should be groomed. As, it's the requirement

Lool at us. DO you think pandya is good enough, but he is the third seamer.

Whereas Yamin can bowl three good overs with the new ball and then Fahim can continue.

Also u play mostly in asia, where these type of bowlers would be successful.

You can't groom someone into something they're not.

One of Bashir, Ehtisham or Irfan should have that third seamers spot.

Fahim can bat at 7/8 and bowl a couple in the middle.

Yea I like Irfan because we don't have any tall bowlers atm. He would add variety.

I disagree, respectfully.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

People still think Rizwan is better than Sarfraz )

 

[WC-Passion]

People still think Rizwan is better than Sarfraz )

I've always seen him make less mistakes behind the stumps but Rizwan is no where near as good overall when considering what he gives to the team.

 

[Rayyman]

People still think Rizwan is better than Sarfraz )

Not yet, but he has more upside. Sarfraz is not getting any younger. Plus, we are 95% not going to win any major tournament under his captaincy anyway. It will be a long road to WC glory, and we need a young team for that journey.

Have you ever heard the guy names Umar Amin, perhaps the most in-form modern day domestic batsman ATM in Pakistan.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

I've always seen him make less mistakes behind the stumps but Rizwan is no where near as good overall when considering what he gives to the team.

In the limited opportunities he's had as a keeper, he's done well. But he's been nothing but a tailender as a batsman.

Can't play spin. Can't play short pitch decent pace bowling.

 

[WC-Passion]

Can't play spin. Can't play short pitch decent pace bowling.

Agreed been disappointing ever since that UAE series v England where Moeen and Rashid destroyed him.

 

[abughio]

Because selectors and coach are being defensive. They are not taking risk of playing rookie like sahibzada.
