[PICTURES/VIDEO] Abdullah Shafique needs to be our flagship batter going forward

[Bhaijaan]

30* (52)

Peak Wajahtullah Wasti vibes bro

 

[iRfaN_LA]

guy is definition of timid and weakness. He sucks the blood out of innings, only for himself. Even if he pulls something special today, he belongs no where near white ball

 

[shah_1]

How is he still playing for Pakistan?

One of the worst ever to represent Pakistan

 

[shah_1]

He is solid but can become better than average of given a long rope and proper guidance

You should be ashamed for supporting such a shambolic talent.

 

[BouncerGuy]

He has been one hell of an over-hyped player... should have been kept dropped...

[Bhaijaan]

Unfortunately one failure here and all the Pakistani fans will call for his head.

Forgetting all the matches where he performed and won it for his team.

 

[Hellion]

Zero talent who actually gives Pakistan a better chance when he scores first ball ducks rather than bat 50 balls

 

[gazza619]

Though I was not happy with Abdullah’s selection for NZ tour, but now that he has been picked again, it makes sense to give him 2 more series.

 

[Rana]

What a joke thread

Flagship

It’s not his ability

It’s his will to play like a coward that is shambolic

Aspiring to be like his seniors

He is a good player. Just very low on mental fortitude. We have to remember he hasn't had the chance to grow organically. Most of his career has been in the Pakistan team or travelling alongside side them years.

He is operating in a bubble of fear and cowardice due to being created in a culture where things are ever present.

Will he be able to overcome it? That remains to be seen. I am hopeful but it won't happen with Rizwan and Aqib at the helm. We need someone who can build up his confidence.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

PCB needs to implement a rule where if a player isn't playing greater than 50% of the matches for their PSL franchise they aren't playing cricket for Pakistan

Guys like Imam and Abdullah aren't deemed good enough to play long term for their franchises but can saunter into our LOI set ups.

They need to be given a kick up the backside to go and develop themselves and their games.

Speaks the fan of son of Punjab, Rana Faheem Ashraf.

Faheem Ashraf has a stronger mental fortitude than the top 33 cricketers of KPK (maybe not Fakhar), so top 32

It’s not his fault that he isn’t from Khyber Pakhtun Choke.

Hardly. Such players are dime a dozen in other countries as well.

He may have some natural ability especially against short balls but it's extremely difficult to overcome as may weaknesses as he does at this stage in his career .

Can't play deliveries in the channel , can't hard play hard lengths , gets strangled by deliveries going down leg , can't attack leg spin or left arm spin.

And this is just from the PSL. He's an extremely limited batter even at that level

Cowardly avoiding the instructions sent by your master. Its not my fault, is it.

Stop spamming every thread

 

[mominsaigol]

He's claiming @RyanRyan10 is your master.

According to Gazza it's

@RyanRyan10 CEO
@Rana And @topspin Senior Management
@mominsaigol Intern

Theirs a hierarchy established. Ryanryan10 is at the top, and I'm at the bottom, you and topspin are senior management.

So then who's Junior management @gazza619 ? 33 KPK players

@Rana is my big brother. I can't be his "boss".

In the past, I used to mock him (like Devadwal does nowadays) for supporting certain players. I believed he was biased and over critical of the players who formed the core in the Pakistan team, but later I understood that he wanted Pakistan to play attacking style of cricket, in line with the rest of the cricketing world. He has watched a lot of domestic leagues, allowing him to grasp the contemporary approach to limited overs cricket.

@Rana is a PP veteran no doubt about it.

I was just referring to how @gazza619 views you, him and me.

In the past, I used to mock him (like Devadwal does nowadays) for supporting certain players.

@Devadwal Started watching cricket from 2020 onwards and has no clue about it.

For someone who flexed about watching it since 2003 he has virtually no clue about the likes of Malcolm Marshall, Glenn Mcgrath, Ponting, Dennis Lillie, Lara, Viv and how good these guys were.

Anyone who claims Bumrah is > Marshall and Mcgrath based of economy when

A) Bumrah plays in crickets worse test batting era with the exception of smith, as the other 2 best batters root is a 2nd tier test batter compared to lara, viv and others and Williamson is bang avg and not worth a discussion, compared to the likes of Mcgrath and Marshall who have 20-21 avg but have faced the likes of sunny, Sachin, Dravid, Lara, Chanderpaul and many other proper test batters has no idea about the past.

Bumrah is no 1 t20 bowler of all time, top 5 odi bowlers of all time and top 10 test bowler of all time and no 1 all format bowler(test,odi and t20) But no 1 is delusional.

This is a guy who can't take a 10 fer in test due to his crap stamina and poor performance with the old ball and can't figure out an avg test NZ side atm.

B) Similarly he cant seem to figure out that Kohli isn't a test atg and @Sachin fan had to educate him about India producing atleast 10 test batters > Kohli. Not a surprise since he probably never watched dravid, Sehwag or heck even Laxman who I view as bang avg bat.

C) nor does he seem to even be aware about the existence of Courtney Walsh, Malcolm Marshall and others.

Rana has called him a covid cricket fan which is correct. He has no knowledge about the game pre 2011.

This sweet chin music is reserved by @sweep_shot

He exposed him in the Chanderpaul thread.

Excellent sweep shot. well done!

Chanderpaul is a solid batsmen and one of the best their is?

The only reason he doesn't get into the odi atg or test wi atg team is cause wi use to be such a gun unit that chanderpaul seems lacking in that aspect. Since he's competing with lara, Gary Sobers, and viv Richards in the middle in test.

Otherwise not only did he win an icc trophy for windies, he's a solid cricketer. The only reason he's called an odi stat padder is because 90% of the time he had Lara, Gayle, Dwayne smith etc so he mostly rotated strike back to them.

Infact the coach literally told him to do so and he said on interviews multiple times that this was the role given to him to be a stabiliser. That historic one wicket win against Sri Lanka and a few other odi games have shown that he can take apart bowling and can be a very aggressive batsmen if push comes to shove?

Dada sahib comparing Rizwan to Chanderpaul .

 

[hassan918]

STAY ON THE TOPIC AND NO PERSONAL TARGET PLEASE

 

[Barragan]

It’s not his ability

It’s his will to play like a coward that is shambolic

He has a better ability than all the younger batsmen coming through, but he is selfish and has zero aggression

 

[Varun]

He's pretty limited, let's be honest.

[jnaveen1980]

He looks good when he connects and hits through the gap. But he rarely does that. There lies the problem. If he plays well within himself he can be a decent test batsman. In other formats he is not going to be your match winner. Openers should be match winners. cannot be used to see off balls.
