Talat is a batting allrounder, Faheem is a bowling allrounder.
Yeah, I agree, his batting isn’t much worse than Faheem and unlike Faheem he can take wickets.
better batsmen is talat
Pak needs more cushion in batting to counter spinners.at any rate faheem has not bowled in first match.
yes i would go with talat as it lengthens the middle order
Is it required?
Squad selection was so poor we have only all-rounders and bowlers who are not in XI. Anybody who could have replaced the struggling batsmen is already on the XI and struggling themselves.
I thought the same and in my pregame squad, had Haris over Abrar while Fakhar opening.
I have no issue with MOST of the squad. Any team can struggle on these wickets. Our standard of cricket overall has fallen without a doubt - just like any other profession in Pakistan.
Not a bad option - Wasim is the best bowler we have for reverse swing if conditions allow, but I have seen him losing his senses in the last few overs as any other Pakistani bowler currently in the squad. I think he is a fair selection - don't know how much difference would that make.
I believe even with the squad we have, with the right decision making Pak can beat ind but the ridiculous decisions like batting first will need to be avoided.
Agree - not ONE experienced middle order bat in the squad - that just shows the low standard of cricket.
lack of sportsmanship. The drama is over Pycroft being sold, not over handshake though. The referee shall have been neutral instead of being all ears to pathetic advice, going against spirit of sportsmanship
Anorher machine gun no ammo moment
Pak has been exposed on the mental front by Ind multiple times. (We have a huge mental block against Aus too but that’s the topic of some other thread). Not just batters we have also seen our bowlers absolutely lose the plot against India.
India might try to keep their wickets for 12 or 13 overs and go afte rbowling after that.
Batting first : Open with Abhishek and Sanju.. Shubman Gill can come one down and play a Virat Kohli type role
JItesh is more valuable in this set up than Gill. These slow turgid lifeless wickets don't suit him. Jitesh is a 360 degree player
No Bollywood masala will stand in front of the theatrical dramas your team has been doing over years including the recent handshake boycott drama..if you follow sports you would know emotions always played a major role in all the sports including cricket..emotional triggers are always not detrimental and in many instances it pushed the team to perform beyond its weight and win..it's how we channelize it is important..
Obviously Pakistan
India but not sanghis
Who will come in for him
But both are useless and TTF....
Hussain Talat
Even Ekta Kapoors soap opera's don't have as much drama and suspense as this Pakistan cricket team is providing in this Asia cup. Single handedly made this boring tournament interesting with their daily nakhre's.
Hoping for a Pakistani win. It can really make Super Four wide open and keep Indians humble.
He salman agha type player i would stick with hassan nawaz i hope top order fires and nawaz can play his normal game
