He tries hard to become a superstar in the WC. The stage, music, fans, passion and pressure is hard to resist.
 
Should have never been in the world cup in the first place with stats like those
 
If we started looking at stats we'd never be able to put 11 men on the field.
 
He is struggling to adjust himself in different conditions.
 
Take a look at Inzi's stats in WC. He played a key role in '92 but the rest of his WC record is very poor indeed. Still didnt stop him from being a great batsman though. Not that Shahzad is great!

Still doesnt make up for a batting average of about 11 in 3 and a half world cups and counting.

Mohsin khan included him because of his ONLY knock against NZ. This is a poor and senseless slection.
Imran nazir and taufeeq umar were really more deserving than this childish A shehzad.
Thr r some more players wch r not deserving for such a huge event like WC.
Mohsin khan should be sacked.
 
He doesn't look like he mean it :raja

Give me a break..... Taufiq Umar? What has he done to claim his spot in the WC squad>
 
What's even worse about that 2nd U-19 tournament is how poorly he did facing U-19 bowlers AFTER he himself had international experience.
 
In addition to the stats posted in the opening post, he also scored a duck in his only appearance in the T20 World Cup in England in 2009.

But thanks. OP is updated.

yes, in addition he failed in the 2 warmup matches also in the t20 2009 WC. I think they were against South Africa in Nottingham and India at the Oval.

He scored more than double the next person in the warm-up game against SA from the PAK line up with 31 (26).

Against India, he was going strong with 25 (19) before getting out.

Same problem though, once the real games started and the pressure was on, he failed.
 
I have a feeling our man is going to be a key player for Pakistan in this tournament and will turn his record around.

I had the same thinking going into the 2011 World Cup after his century vs New Zealand but he seems to be scoring more consistently this time.

I agree with this. He's a different player now. Much more calm cool and collected. Needs to focus though and hone in on that talent.

Well I think he will be a match loser for us in this tournament because of his tentative approach.
 
His attitude towards the game (not batting) has changed since the 2011WC and I think he will be a succes this tourney.
 
The boy is talented but he will need to start to deal with tournament pressure alot better and we need him to perform in this tourney

Well, what about if he was given the anchor role (yes I know it's t20) but he could hold one end up and just feed the strike to his partner, going at around 100s/r?. I think it could work with Kami etc given the license to attack.

Our hitters aren't reliable either. A strong batting unit can carry Shehzad but not us.

I've pinned my hopes to Hafeez :dav
 
Not a T20 player !

His slow tentative approach may work in ODI's but not here !
 
He is in great form and has been scoring consistently.Plus he know these Bangla pitches by heart.
I have a feeling he is going to be one the bats of the tourney.
Anyone else??
 
Two disappointing innings so far from him in the 2014 World Twenty20.

Pakistan desperately needs him to step up if they have any desires to advance in this tournament.
 
Mediocre batsman whose bubble is going to burst soon like Junaid's.

We get too hyper when mediocre players put in 2/3 good performances.
 
safe to say he is a work in progress.
nowhere near the real deal.
 
Time for a good old bump. :yk
Again Bangladesh regardless but a great innings nevertheless. :ahmed

Shehzad has done well in this series and that is because he has started to play within his limitations.

The Kohli wannabe attitude doesn't work because he is remotely not good enough. He is a flawed batsman with a lot of problems, but he has started to work on what he has rather than what not which is why he is scoring consistently.

Hopefully it will continue.

Shahzad has been improving and he is becoming better. He is one for the future.

Ahmed Shehzad finishes the tournament with scores of:

12 (warm up)
22
5
111*
0

148 runs at an average of 46 and a strike-rate of 162.35.

It was a brilliant century and he got a heck of a ball today for his golden duck but it would be awesome if Shehzad stepped up and said enough of these TTFs, I'm going to lead Pakistan's batting attack going forward. For that, he'll need to be more consistent and do what he did vs Bangladesh, let others play around him.

One thing is for sure, he tries his best to win even in the field.Hopefully he will carry on like this in days to come as you have said.He has the hunger.

Also he seemed genuinely hurt after today's debacle from what I have heard/read.
 
Average batsman and if he's the future, we are doomed.

He has way too many flaws to become a top quality batsman.

Remove that century that came against a minnow team then he is very average.
 
Ahmed looks like another minnow bully to me :hafeez

Scores the odd hundred against a good attack but follows it up with 4-5 duds and another hundred.

Mamoon has a point, Amin is technically superior to Shehzad. If Amin had Shehzads mindset and hunger Pakistan would have themselves a world class batsmen.

Your attitude is what's wrong with a lot of fans. From zero to hero to zero in 5 games.

True. I always hoped Umar Amin would turn up for us but he just seems completely out of depth in international cricket. I think if he can start lighting up the domestic circuit he will be a better player in international cricket.

He is a minnow basher.Simply,not good enough.

He is limited and has many flaws but how can you call him a minnow basher? A decent record against SA, SriLanka and a century in WI and NewZealand.

Apart from the bangla game he was once again a massive dissapointment, only thing going for him is hes still young and can improve as a player.
 
I personally think this isn't the right format for Shehzad. He should only play tests and ODIs
 
Shehzad is a flawed player but tbh hes one of the best weve got i think he will do well next year as the pitches will suit his batting he is good against pace however he is like a tailender against quality spin also his strike rotation isnt good enough but he does value his wicket when he gets in he has the temperament to get a big score which a lot of our batters lack we have to persist with him

It seems to be common amongst Ppers that if a batsman looks good, ie orthodox he is better than the one who actually scores because in the long run his technique will help him overcome those issues. How is a batsman who doesn't score better than one who does. Amin has been outscored by every single one of our young batsmen so how people see potential in him is mind boggling.

This just shows how much is expected from the youngster now. People want him to perform in every game. We shouldn't forget he is only 22 and is still learning and will In Sha Allah improve further. Yesterday's duck was to a very good ball, that ball would have got many of the best in the game.
 
too much pressure on the kid right now. i expect him to go nuts and destroy a couple of sides if pak make it out of the group.
 
I expect him to come good sooner rather than later, but for now he's a bottler.
 
Needs to back his natural attacking game, stop trying to bat like Chanderpaul and anchor 50 overs.

Best way to protect the middle order from the new ball is to bash it up a bit before they come in!

Tell me an opener who doesnt have pressure?

Jamshed, Younis etc etc all are saying the same thing.

A good players finds his form against minnows if nothing else is working for him. Just look at Rohit.

Where have you seen this attacking game that is natural for him?
 
It's not his fault. He's seen that failing in World Cups is how you become a modern Pakistani legend

:afridi :moyo
 
This guy simply can't handle the pressure.

When the lights go on and pressure rises, he goes hiding.
 
Started the WT20 by beating up on Bangladesh and follows up with two epic choke jobs. Same old story I'm afraid.
 
Shehzad needs a 3-year internship with the Indian team. You feel he's the sort of player we can make a success out of and for sure he'll be better than that hack Dhawan!
