Asif Ali v Mohammad Rizwan v Umar Akmal : Which 'wasteman' should PCB pick for 1 spot?

[shamaan]

Once a wasteman, always a wasteman.

Move on guys, he isnt an ODI player

I would stil give him 1 more series atleast but in the 2023 he isnt in my playing xI

 

[shamaan]

No one is calling to remove him from the test team, but for LO he is beyond pathetic. There is no excuse for this embarassing performance from him in this series. He is playing at home against a weak opposition, and looks like he is batting on a Day 5 test wicket.

I will give him 1 more series in odis in the 202e he isnt in my squad or playing xI

The whole forum/country is in meltdown because this wasteman who was batting at number 5, a serious batting position for a responsible player could not produce a single performance that would enable Pakistan to walk through to a simple 3-0 Whitewash.

Out of the senior/seasoned players:

Babar Delivered
Harris Delivered
Wahab Delivered

This guy failed in all 3 ODIs, out of which the 3rd one cost us deeply. It’s reached the point that the forever pessimists are running riot and causing a severe atmosphere of hate.

Yes he did fail but he needs to be given 1 or 2 more series and then move on but like I said hes not in my 2023 squad I prefer to have rohail zeeshan Ashraf or mo haris long term

what a wasteman!

Umar Akmal is our Mesut Ozil.

A player that has creativity and flair, sadly the board has messed up when players who do the crime get played and players who don’t do the crime get pushed away.

 

[watson367]

Miss you Umar Akmal. Atleast you could hit a couple of stylish boundaries.

 

[GudduBadmash]

what a wasteman!

Lol

What about

Haider Ali 3
Mohamad Hafeez 0
Abdullah Shafique 0

Rizwans 17 almost looks very respectable against that very good bowling spell by Duffy considering only Faheem and Shadab did anything of note.

Always the same from the Rizwan fans. The bare minimum. That’s all he needs to do just to justify 5-10 years of mediocre, inept performances

lol you saying the same about the other three I mentioned is my point. If yes then fair enough, if no then stop being a hypocrite. Your Rizwan agenda is clearly known here so that's my point. Still did much better than the so called specialists

Rizwan 50s 0
Haider 50s 2

Haider strike rate 148
Rizwan strike rate 98

World class rizwan

Rizwan fans will be happy with 50 ball 50 in t20s

 

[Rana]

Not just Rizwan fans, the PCB management also. They are so desperate for him to do something that would make him a mainstay!

 

[Cric1234]

A good question would be how many sixes has Rizwan hit in T20Is?

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

As a player Umar Akmal is the best of those mentioned but we all know that’s not happening

In the current scenario I honestly reckon you may as well give Azam Khan a go provided he keeps loosing weight.

He can hit the ball, which makes him unique amongst our keepers
