10. Irfan
11. Nawaz

Would love to see Rizwan get a chance, think he is decent (your opinion?), also would want Hafeez to finish the innings, but Imad has been brilliant...

What do you guys think? Which 11 players would you pick to start?
 
Choudhry sahib!
Assalamoalaikum. Welcome to PP family.

For 1st two Odi's

1. Azhar
2. Sharjeel
3. Babar
4. Malik
5. Umar
6. Hafeez
7. Sarfraz/Imad
8. Imad/Sarfraz
9. Amir/Wahab (Depends on Amir's Injury)
10. Hasan
11. Irfan


Sarfraz could be floated up the order in case Australia make the mistake (unlikely) of playing more than 1 spinner.
 
1. Sharjeel Khan
2. Azhar Ali (C)
3. Umar Akmal
4. Shoaib Malik
5. Mohammed Hafeez
6. Sarfaraz Ahmed (WK)
7. Imad Wasim
8. Hasan Ali
9. Wahab Riaz
10. Rahat Ali
11. Mohammed Irfan

- 6 bowling options, 7 if you include Azhar Ali and you've got 4 different pacers in the team. Batting has good enough depth with Imad down at 7. Would rest Babar (looked extremely flustered in Sydney and seemed disappointed in himself after 4th innings performance, sometimes its good to have a rest and think about your game). Also have Rahat because he bowled pretty well in the World Cup. I think you need wickets in this format, especially against Australia because you won't contain em.
 
WalaikumAs'salam
Thanks for welcome!

Agree with Sarfaraz moving up
that is one problem i saw with the team i suggested, Imad & Sarfaraz are down the order, but we are capable of giving them enough time 😅 collapse!

6 bowlers for sure! (Not counting Azhar)
I felt we were sort of a bowler in tests, needed to play another bowler or all-rounder there too.. but that's done now.
Babar's selection in the 11 is a debate, have a feeling if not Babar they will include Asad..
 
Azhar
Sharjeel
Babar
Malik
Sarfaraz

If Amir is out, include Hafeez with his batting number being 7.

Yes, irrespective of his test match performance Babar after scoring three ODI tons recently has to be our main batsman in ODIs.

Akmal has to bat in the top 4. Sarfraz isn't good enough to bat in the top 4. And not a good enough hitter to bat below 5. Has to bat at 5.
 
What's the craze with Akmal? He didn't play last time and we still did well. My XI:

Azhar
Babar
Malik
Sarfraz
Hafeez(would've tried Rizwan but Hafeez gives us bowling depth)

Can't lay bat on ball against a pacer.

He's absolutely right. Abbas is a mediocre bowler and Hamza is a test bowler who will only do well in favourable conditions. You should watch them bowl in stead of just looking at stats. Aussie batsmen will take the likes of Abbas for 200 in his 10 overs
 
Just a few things

do not move Babar! just to accommodate Azhar/Hafeez
imad or nawaz are both going to get killed, play imad, as he's the better batsman

He performed really well in England witha hundred and a 90 along with a 50 . He is good enough to bat at 4 and under 5 he can hit spinners better than anyone else.

this is Pakistan cricket. the promising YOUNGSTER will always be moved to accommodate the out of form and overrated VETERAN
 
People forgetting the brainlessness and ugly slogging of Umar Akmal :facepalm: . He should only play in T20s. I will play even Nawaz ahead of him. Atleast he plays some proper shots , is lefty and can bowl too.

This should be the team for the first ODI.

1 Sharjeel.
2 Azhar.
3 Babar.
4 Malik.
5 Sarfaraz.
6 Rizwan.
7 Hafeez.
8 Imad.
9 Amir.
10 Hassan.
11 Wahab.

My ideal team would've been.

1Sharjeel.
2 Fakhar.
3 Babar.
4 Rizwan.
5 Sarfaraz.
6 Malik.
7 Imad.
8 Yamin.
9 Hassan.
10 Amir.
11 Wahab.

5. Sarfraz Ahmed (WK)
6. Mohammad Hafeez
7. Umar Akmal
8. Imad Wasim
9. Mohammad Amir
10. Wahab Riaz
11. Hasan Ali

I think this should be the team from the options provided. If Hafeez is going to be included as a sixth bowling option, it has to be at #6. Not a spot higher.

I don't like the idea of using Irfan. I'd rather keep Hasan Ali as a right-arm fast bowling option.

Will this XI win? I doubt it, but it's the best of a sorry bunch IMO.
 
After the devastating Test series we had, would still want Babar to play to prove himself yet again.

To make a mark in the ODI series, we need to step up our game. Team Pakistan needs to think positive and act positive, the approach to game should be modern.

The defensive mind set has cost us a lot till date, it's good to hold your crease but it ain't any good if runs aren't flowing smooth.

Players to Watch Out for:

Azhar Ali : Very high on confidence would be looking forward to exploit the conditions further, hoping for some good starts in pairing to Sharjeel.

Hasan Ali: High Arm action zips the ball through at pace, he need to trouble the Aussies to cement his place.

Mohammad Hafeez: A comeback should be as sweet as it could be!

I think it is time the so called fan boys of individuals step it up and stop saying that a tough Aussie tour is not supposed to be judgmental on all the young players in the squad. This is Cricket, a players need to perform for his team anywhere around the globe.

Looking forward to Sharjeel quick runs at the top and Sarfaraz finsihing it off well.

Amir Amir Amir, the hype was huge but unfortunately hasn't lived up to it. This tour nothing has been good from him other than the pictures with his family.He need to hit back hard!

No place for Asad Shafiq here :moyo

My 11:

1. Sharjeel Khan
2. Azhar Ali (C)
3. Babar Azam
4. Mohammad Hafeez
5. Shoaib Malik
6. Umar Akmal
7. Sarfraz Ahmed (WK)
8. Imad Wasim
9. Mohammad Amir
10. Wahab Riaz
11. Hasan Ali
 
Sincere condolences to Irfan on the sad loss of his mother. He will be returning to Pakistan, a replacement will be sent to Australia for the ODI's.


Junaid Khan?
Umer Gul? (I hope not)
Yamin?

Any more..?
Or

Kamran Akmal/Ahmed Shehzad?
 
Hafeez is there , no replacement needed.


Sharjeel
Azhar
Babar
Hafeez
Malik
Sarfraz
Imad
nawaz
Amir

Three fast bowlers , three spinners and azhar. I would be happier if we had amir yamin /faheem ashraf or hammad azam in place of nawaz.

Junaid Khan has been called for replacement of Irfan, him instead of Hasan Ali?
 
Junaid Khan included in Pakistan team as replacement of Mohammad Irfan.

Will he get a place in the starting 11? YES for me, would have him instead of Hasan Ali or Rahat..
 
Junaid is a good addition to bowling squad. It will interesting to see how he and Amir bowl in pair. Might settle the debate between Junaid vs Amir.
 
With Junaid in, we are all set to witness a rivalry that will go on for years. This is good for Pakistan. :waqar :wasim
 
On one side really happy for junaid

On the other side

Really wanted to see irfan bowl. He was in good form in the QEA and odi cup.

Hasan Ali was arguably the best Pakistani fast bowler in the last couple of LOI series'

When you consider his inexperience, youth and untapped potential, he's the first pacer selected for me. Add Amir and Wahab, and Junaid starts the series on the bench most likely

unless Amir in unfit...

lmao did you really check Irfan's fielding efforts? The guy was literally stopping every ball with his feet. Good luck doing that at international level. I'm not convinced with his fitness level. Inzi obviously only watched the final.

he is finished like Gul. His peak was the performance against India and SA.
 
Get Warner and Smith out cheaply and win the match. These 2 are beats in Aus conditions.

He can't field or bat. Basically not fit for international sport. Is not an athlete. His selection goes against the fitness culture we are trying to instill.

malik is as good a bowler as hafeez and a much more gritty batsmen, even when he isnt in the best of form. Junaid and Amir are key here. Aussies is very much top heavy team and if they bowl well in tandem, expect a lose shot from warner, etc. It will be interesting to see if we have learned anything from our Test slaughtering or if we bowl the same full pitched off stump line to warner. Smith is the real danger man; the man posesses no real weakness and has a solid temperament for all formats.
 
That's my team.

If team management select this team & as per this batting order. This team cN beat any side in the world. It has free flowing aggressive player like Sharjeel & Umar. Azhar can provide the much needed stability at the top. Hafeez can hot big one in the end. While malik & safu can milk the spinners. Team has 4 front line bowler plus 1 genuine all-rounder . Plus batting all-rounder Malik who can bowl .
 
So Irfan is out and Junaid wont be there in time for the practice game so he is unlikely to play the first ODI.

Has hafeez already joined the team in time for the practice game?

Umar at 4 is doubtful , in fact say it as team Pakistans miss fortune that we don't have dedicated batting numbers for the batsmen.

From 2 Down onwards who will walk in next will be dependant on the situation
 
Team Should be :

Azhar
Sharjeel
Babar
Malik
Sarfaraz
Hafeez
Akmal
Imad
Amir
Hasan
Wahab

6 Bowling Options
Batting till 11 (if we consider Wahab & Hasan as slogger :P :yk)
 
Asad Shafiq opened today in the practice game, which is just stupid(sorry to say)

Babar Azam again hit a 98 which is good news, Sharjeel & Akmal did well for their 50's, good 49 by Malik👌
Hasan & Imad did well with the bowl..
Confidence boosted? 196 runs win.
 
All the above 11's are irrelevant as Sarfaraz is departing back to Pakistan.

A recall for Kamran ?

Kamran in for Sarfraz and Junaid in for Irfan for 1st two or 3 Odi's


I am not sure where Kamran should Bat. Ideally it should be number 3 but Babar has 3 centuries at number 3. If Kamran opens than where does Azhar go ?

If Azhar slots in at 3 than Umar is useless at number 6. He has failed as finisher in 97 % of games irrespective of Average and Strike Rate.

Sharjeel should not be benched. He stroked 62 of 39 vs CA eleven and he is the only batsman capable of scoring at a quick rate.

Don't play Umar at 6 rather bench him.

Kamran is in rich form. He will be wasted down the order. He has very poor record at number 7. He needs to bat during 1st or 2nd batting power play. Kamran should not be benched. He should be given atleast 3 Odi's.

You want Adam Zampa to eat him alive ?

or you want him to be eaten alive by Maxwell ?

or you want him to bow infront of Chin music of Cummins, Stanlake or Starc ?


Australian Team Analyst has not gone in hibernation.


Last 1 year. 10 Odi's average of 15.


Atleast TTF has heap of runs at his back. Last 2 Fc sessons average of 65 plus with 7 plus Fc tons. Last 4 List A seasons average of 45 plus with 6 plus List A tons. So better take advantage of TTF's current form than to give a chance to someone who has been failing continuously in last 1 year.

Also 34 years old is given a final go to perform and stay or be lost for ever (internationally) never to return again. He isn't picked to be benched. Incase he is benched or not given atleast 3 matches than either Mickey will go or Inzamam will go because there is considerable friction.

How many times will that 34 Years Old be lost once and for all? It's a cycle with him, Always comes back.
Yes I know they are not in hibernation but then again what is the point for selecting Rizwan when he isn't even the first choice backup wicket keeper? And to be honest, Kamran give me three chances only has failed forever.
 
Anyways Sarfraz not being there is a big blow, Even more than Irfan.
 
According to some news, Sarfaraz is returning back to Pakistan...
Who would you replace him with?
I would've loved it if Rizwan got some real chance to play, been on the bench for too long,
BUT Kamran Akmal has been in great form in 'our domestic'
As much as it kills me to say it, he deserves a call up.
What do you guys think?
 
Lets see how how Kami and Hafeez handle the pressure in the lower order during a chase or are they going for the cowards way out and play in the top order and get their pretty 33? :91:
 
Looks like the squad in warm-up will be similar to playing XI.
Khan
Azhar*
Azam
Malik
Akmal
Rizwan+
Wasim
Riaz
Hasan
Rahat
Khan

Looks like Hafeez won't play as he wasn't in warm-up and Akmal scored a 50. Rest Amir for 1st game. Just like they rested Hazlewood.

They played a very easy team for us in warmup, all young unknown players, we on the other hand always play our 2nd team in warmups. Hope our players don't get the overconfidence (after those test match performances they shouldn't)

Yeah hopefully Nawaz won't be playing. Hafeez should've played warm-up instead of Azhar or Sharjeel.
 
Azhar
Sharjeel
Babar
Malik
U. Akmal
Another batsmen - Hafeez?
Another batsman or w-keeper - Rizwan?
Imad
Hasan
Aamir
Wahab

Top 4 and bottom 4 should be a lock IMO. Whomever we choose to w-keep will determine our line-up. Can Akmal keep all game? Should Rizwan play and take over w-keeping if Akmal stinks it up? Sort of like w-keeping insurance. In any case, I believe we should have 7 recognizable batters before our number 8.

As for our bowling, I believe our 5th bowler should be shared between Azhar and Malik (I have a feeling I missed something with Malik being suspended from bowling? - hope I'm wrong).

There will be one guaranteed change and that is Amir in for either Rahat or Junaid.
 
Funny how everyone always proposes xyz changes and posts up their XIs. You guys should know by now that the Pak think tank has an unorthodox way of thinking in the sense that they a) Do not learn from past mistakes b) Hate to experiment.

Most fans on here know that Rizwan is useless at anything after #5 and that Azhar does not merit a place in this team, let alone be the captain of it. Etc etc etc

PP 'experts' > Pak management
 
I am not surprised Inzamam decision to send Hafeez and Kamran if he does get selected. Like i said there will never be someone like Imran Khan will come and select players with talent, hunger, and passion.

Inzamam decisions of selection is simple, he copy paste the team selected in the last series and gives it to media to release it.

Some decisions of even management is shocking.

Selection of Imad and Nawaz botb are similar type of cricketer. Yet no thought that lets select a good leg spinner or off spinner for a change. We suffered in Test series because of no good off spinner in the team.

No Allrounder in the team. Amer yamin, amad butt no chances given to them. Failure like Hafeez selected despite not having played for last 3 months or so.

No young fast bowler selected, same junaid, irfan, rahat why he is in the squad...😒

We are not looking ahead, which is why we are struggling to find good players, no rotation policy being applied. Aussies lost 1 series they changed the whole team.

But 1 thing i am happy is Umar and Babar in the team, both can give pakistan a chance to put decent total, if they bat sensibly.

My Team.

Sharjeel
RizWan
Azhar
Babar
Umar
Hafeez
Malik
Imad
Amir
Junaid
Asghar
