Ahmed Shehzad vs Ajinkya Rahane : The better future prospect?

Yes, he's bang average. The only that thing that the 2014 Shehzad has over the 2010-11 one is better temperament.

And he will score one in the next match in SSC. Only good for dead wickets.

Only good for dead wickets? :)))

Scored well in Nwzland, SA, WI but according to you only good on dead wickets. Wow. :yk

The only reason he's been as successful as he has is because of his hunger for runs and attention.

Yes yes, we get it. According to you every player in Pakistani team sucks. We got that. Kiwis are the best. <3
 
Shehzad will really do well in the 2015 WC because his back foot game is really strong.

Talking about Test cricket here. Hafeez has hundreds in NZ and WI as well. He doesn't have technique to survive in Tests in difficult conditions.

NZ wickets are some of the flattest in the world and that hundred didn't exactly come against Steyn + Morkel.

Morkel didn't play that match and he only scored 4 runs off 7 balls against Steyn.

About tests, the sample size is very small to pass a judgement.

Nz wickets are flattest? Are you kidding me? The ball swings like a banana there. :facepalm:

He is as much of a Test opener as Hafeez is.

I know your dislike for Shehzad reeks back to his come back. Your bias is for all to see. You rate guys like bell, tanvir and disregard players like junaid, shehzad.
 
I rate Tanvir in T20s only, that's not rating is it?

Junaid is a better bowler than Shehzad is as a batsman, but none of them are special. Shehzad vs Rahane is ridiculous comparison.

Okay, then that means all Kiwis are flat track bullies and they even suck at that because they get whitewashed in Bangladesh and get pummelled in Sri lanka?

I think you and me will know where these two players stand in the upcoming matches.

Er, almost every wicket in the world today is flat when it comes to ODI cricket..
 
New Zealand drew a test series vs SL on their last tour. Only East and West Pakistan last their last test series against SL in SL.

Shehzad way better than half of your batting lineup who couldnt score to save their lives against a minnow team Nwzland. lolzzzzzzz

even jadeja averages similar to him at a much better strike rate ...rest of the batting... you wish
 
Pathetic player, There is just no hope with him as a Test player ..

I dont see him scoring runs even in Subcontinent and he is not good enough to Polish Rahane's shoes as a batsman, This subject of comparing thee two should never ever be discussed again..

This is just an embarrasing comparison, Shahzad is a clueless opener

I expect him to be history as a test player in matter of months
 
Didn't I tell you? :sohail

Rahane has more ability in his finger and that's unfortunately very true.
 
He's garbage. Yes that was poor from Azhar, but did you see his technique? Can't play spin at all and I'd rather have Hafeez open in the subcontinent than him because at least he's not a duck against spin and can score in these conditions.

True that even gives a decent 5th spin bowling option in Asia, We should bring Hafeez back against Australia

Was laughed at yesterday when I said Hafeez should come in for him on those wickets :91:
 
In all fairness Taufeeq and Farhat were better openers compared to Shehzad and poor Jamshed didnt get a chance on flat decks

Jamshed is mentally shot, he could bat at the SSC and still walk out with a king pair.
 
As usual some people are not looking at the bigger picture.

Just because he's young doesn't mean he will get better. Every trash player is young and inexperienced once upon a time.
 
Those people who didn't know which one was better would have known by now that Shehzad is a poor batsman.
 
As a temporary arrangement for Australia series we should bring back hafeez, his spin will be handy against Aussie left handers specially warner and he wont do any worse than Shehzad and Manzoor
 
Only on PP can people overhype players like Shehzad like there is no tomorrow.

Then waht about his batting he nick it again ir you want to say we should play Hafeez as 3rd spinner
 
At no. 1 n 2 you need players who can score runs and as a batsman i have more trust in Shehzad than fake allrounder Hafeez
 
Shehzad is no Tendulkar but calling for Hafeez?? OMG!
 
A mediocre batsman who is good for flat decks and below par bowling in ODIs. That hundred in SA was an anomaly.

Future TTF.
 
Despite a very good hundred in his debut series, have to say Rahane is a ahead as far as Test cricket is concerned for the moment.

ODI's: No discussion possible.
 
Not for now, Rahane will prove to be a better ODI batsman as well in the long run. He's simply a far more talented and better batsman.

Shehzad is a poor batsman, He has no future in tests

Asking for Hafeez only as a temporary arrangement for Aus-NZ series, because he isnt any worse than any other opener available and he gives an extra bowling option

In tests he will fail even on flat decks, Consider this match you wont get a flatter deck, Even HAfeez was scoring runs for fun on last SL tour
 
Yes, he has big problems against spin which is why any half decent spinner will expose him.

Will be clueless against Lyon. Hafeez is a much better player of spin.
 
How did he handle spin? How did he get out? didn't saw his dismissal i was sleeping :)

It's LBW according to Cinfo.
 
:))) :))) .....this is total ownage....shehzad pakistan's best hope in batting, kohli wannabe, can't even bat on flat decks....he is not even good enough to be a FTB

He shuffles too much at start to survive against half decent pacer either

Very firm grip, hard hands, forced trigger movement, not a good front foot stride. Bowl him a good channel on the off-stump with the ball slightly shaping away and he's gone.

Do those even matter?:79: I thought it was all about "he has talent" as PP suggests.
 
That's part of the talent 'package'. He likes to stay at the crease and has a knack of scoring big which is his one redeeming quality.

I will not talk that much if I were you, especially after how thing are now.
 
We should not even mention Shehzad and Kohli in the same line. Only on PP will you see people comparing Kohli to Shehzad .:facepalm:
 
Only if he has a good front foot game or a great hand eye coordination. Still better than any existing opener in pakistan at the moment.
 
Shehzads clueless vs spin. It pains me to say i would rather have Hafeez batting in SC conditions.
 
The ATG rockstar batsmen got out on a duck. :)))

Whereas our 'fail' batsman scored 58. :')
 
[MENTION=137420]Straight_Drive[/MENTION] I parcelled all 'em burnol packs to your place.
 
Both seem to have technical issues, Rahane far less than Pujara and Kohli thankfully.
 
Good knock by Rahane today. Came in at a difficult time. Made a good 40 at a healthy S/R.
 
Both can't be compared now due to batting at different positions. However I've always rated even before he made his mark in international cricket.
 
I think criticism of Shehzad is a bit unwarranted when he has actually scored runs in the format. Tests are a different story though. More than technique, he seems to be in a shell until he has played around 60 balls at least after which he can score runs pretty quickly. If the likes of Sami Aslam,Haris Sohail etc. are indeed world class talents then I agree Shehzad should be dropped from the ODI squad. No point dropping a guy who actually can consistently score significant runs considering the apparent lack of batting talent in Pakistan.
 
Cant understand why Rahane has not performed upto mark in ODIs. He has a good technique and all the gears. A complete package.
 
Rahane made a good 40 today at a high S/R but his own carelessness cost him his wicket.
