neither can Hasnain. And Amir can bat too like he showed last year in Aus Tests.I like Aamer but he has a very inconsistent action and can't land 2 balls in the same place

I disagree. If you look at his numbers, Rizwan has a far better record at 4 than he does at 5. At 4 he averages something like 48. At 5 he averages 32-33. It was only after he moved up the order to 4 that his ODI batting saw a marked improvement. At the beginning of last year, he has pretty mediocre numbers in ODI cricket and was averaging around 32. Right now, Rizwan is a far more accomplished batter than Saud which is why I think he should be at 4.Rizwan showed a lot more urgency when he was made to bat at no.5 in 2022 or 2023 i don't remember properly. That's one way of not letting our players get complacence which is why i believe Rizwan NEEDS to bat at 5 so he can show more determination whilst he's on crease and add some power game to his arsenal. Otherwise he won't improve.
Regarding Saud, he is a better player of spin than he is for pace and I like his work ethic that he's always looking to improve and energize his game something our players lack. No. 5 will have to add finishing skills as well something Inzi was a master at. Saud lacks the muscle to manufacture boundaries in the last 15 overs (hasn't showed his ability yet but I am hopeful he will). I believe no. 4 is a more specialized position that needs pure batters with minimal deficiencies. Saud has a higher ceiling IMO and should be given a chance at 4.
Hasnain isn't great and I have said so on many occasions but ODI he is slightly better.neither can Hasnain. And Amir can bat too like he showed last year in Aus Tests.
Respect your opinion bro but there's something that doesn't look right with Rizwan at 4. Not talking about the numbers. But Rizwan is a reactive kind of batter who is more suited to no.5 IMO. Saud has the tools to become a complete batter if he works on his power game. This is something you can see. Ross Taylor, Michael Clarke, Eoin Morgan, Yousaf, Yuvraj etc. They were all proper batters with all round game and were extremely successful at no.4. You need to put the guy with the highest ceiling at no.3 and no.4. Shai Hope has given up his preferred opening position since becoming captain and moved to no.4 and has been adding new dimensions to his game which is commendable. That sort of thing is missing in our culture where captain gets himself his preferred position.I disagree. If you look at his numbers, Rizwan has a far better record at 4 than he does at 5.

Saud may lack the muscle but he is more adept at finding gaps than people give him credit for. He also has a better power-game than Rizwan. I am also a big believer in not fixing something that isn't broken. If Rizwan is performing at 4, I see no need to change his position and risk the potential of two batters being unsettled. Also, considering that Rizwan has been a big proponent of himself batting at 4, I don't think he will change his position either, especially now that he is captain.
I'd play Aamer Jamal. The guy has never quit attitude and it shows in his batting and bowling. Hasnain is a mentally weak bowler who crumbles under pressure all the time.Hasnain isn't great and I have said so on many occasions but ODI he is slightly better
Only thing I'm worried about is the short ball show. If Pakistan lose a couple early wickets and get in that fear zone then they'll get bounced out for cheap.Doubt Pakistani batting can hold out in Perth. Australia is going to come hard utilizing the pace, bounce of the track.
Love his attitude and he has showed he can take wickets but atm his action is far too inconsistent to set fields to. He has the same problem Wasim JNR had with a slingy actionI'd play Aamer Jamal. The guy has never quit attitude and it shows in his batting and bowling. Hasnain is a mentally weak bowler who crumbles under pressure all the time.
I hope Gillespie is working on his shortcomings. Gillespie has a proven track record of breathing new life in pacers. Examples like Plunkett.Love his attitude and he has showed he can take wickets but atm his action is far too inconsistent to set fields to. He has the same problem Wasim JNR had with a slingy action
He can't. Unfortunately the inconsistentcy is part of a slingy action. Jamal is a product of low wickets where keeping the ball low means you are difficult to hit and with skid and reverse you pick up wickets. He has to analyse his action and work to minimise the inconsistency. As I said, I love his aggression and IA improvements come.I hope Gillespie is working on his shortcomings. Gillespie has a proven track record of breathing new life in pacers. Examples like Plunkett.
Likewise bro. We can agree to disagree. Time will tell if Rizwan is well-equipped for this position or not.Respect your opinion bro but there's something that doesn't look right with Rizwan at 4.

Perth is the place where pakistan is at its weakest. Historically atleast. Let's see what happens on SundayAh yes, the same pitch where Babar Azam dazzled with a whopping 4 off 9 balls against Zimbabwe, Rizwan lit up the scoreboard with a mighty 14 off 16, Iftikhar chipped in a breathtaking 5 off 10, and Shaheen Afridi terrorized the opposition by going wicketless. was Truly a masterclass all around!
Lanka winning the series against india was also great .I think this series has been the best ODI series in year 2024.
Then again, we haven't seen too many ODI series this year (due to World T20 and stuff).
Wanna see a change in the team??This is not the regular perth pitch. Drop in pitch used so dont expect it to behave like the regular perth pitches
No change. Should be the same eleven. Even if there is a change, it should be a pacer for a pacer. Getting a spinner in is not an optionWanna see a change in the team??
I guess there will be none. Not needed.
Yep. We can try Aamer Jamal. He has had a good time with the ball in Australia and could be useful with the bat as well. That could be the only changeNo change. Should be the same eleven. Even if there is a change, it should be a pacer for a pacer. Getting a spinner in is not an option
No need to debut a spinner on Perth. You also can't risk it when series win is on the line.Pakistan might be going with the same team here as well. Perth is generally a more pacey one so you cannot be risking playing a spinner for a pacer. All of these 4 guys are going just fine. I think no change is needed for the 3rd game.
Rizwan special pillow always goes with him.Pakistan vs Australia ODI Series:
The national squad has arrived in Perth from Adelaide.
Pakistan will play the third ODI against Australia in Perth tomorrow.
The three-match ODI series is currently tied at one each.
Asad shafiq as a test player >>>>>> Abdullah shafique. It's better to say Abdullah is a poor man's version of asad in test and an outright failure on odi.
One thing Rizwan does have going for him is luckI believe Pakistan will do better if Aqib keeps interfering in selecting playing 11. Don't give too much power to our any kaptaan sahab. They loose it when they are given too much power. Rizwan in selecting playing 11 is similar to Babar and co.
But I love his aggressive mindset, his field placement is something which I have dreamed from years.
I hope it's his field placement and not Gillespie or aqib Javed's.
Happy posting on PP. Your type of mindset is needed on the forumn.Asad shafiq is not even test material. He also player due to backing of defensive ka raja Misbah.
Well if he is so lucky. He should use his luck by batting at no.6.One thing Rizwan does have going for him is luck
He tried, he failed. Even his supporters know this.Well if he is so lucky. He should use his luck by batting at no.6.
Because no.4 is not so lucky for him.
Thank youHappy posting on PP. Your type of mindset is needed on the forumn.
The day pakistan will start losing the matches/ series then Aqib will be first person to fired from his job.I believe Pakistan will do better if Aqib keeps interfering in selecting playing 11. Don't give too much power to our any kaptaan sahab. They loose it when they are given too much power. Rizwan in selecting playing 11 is similar to Babar and co.

Excellent summary,@RedwoodOriginal @Kianig89 @khyberlion
Now that I'm finally free I will give my opinions respectfully.
First about Abdullah.
You lot keep forgetting how rubbish he is, cause you all keep forgetting his innings.
Ahmed shehzad was exactly the same, He'd fail 50+ innings but would hit a century here and their and you lot would do a bhrangra.
The truth is he is a crap opener with a few flashy spells. So I 100% stand by what I claimed. Prior to this innings, saim and Abdullah had proven themselves to be the worst opening pair(statistically) that Pakistan has ever had.
Now about Australia
Australia played rubbish today. Their is no denying it. Infact they were also very poor on the field which is something no one could have predicted.
Given pak's track history, no one could have predicted Australia would go down that easily.
And Finally about Rizwan
I stand by my judgement. He is a rubbish captain.
One match won't change anything. I have been following their career trajectories.
As amjid javed stated, one innings and suddenly saim is the 2nd coming of saeed Anwar, Abdullah is the goat overseas axeman opener, rizzu is the 2nd coming of waugh etc etc.
Rizwan is a medicore bat. Abdullah is a rubbish bat, Saim has showcased flashes of brilliance.
You can play judge jury executioner all you want, keep flaunting this 164 run chase for the rest of your life.
Rizzu captaincy drama will end in tears, so will with Abdullah shafique drama.
He is trash at 4 let's be very honest. He should eliminate his sweep shot, it gives me nausea whenever he goes for a sweep shot.He tried, he failed. Even his supporters know this.
@RedwoodOriginal pointed out how the goat batter is absolutely trash at no 5 hence cried for his favourite no.
You are right.The day pakistan will start losing the matches/ series then Aqib will be first person to fired from his job.
Power never should be given to single person and we have already seen what was happened to Babar.
That’s his stubbornness to prove he is better than Inzimam and Miandad.Well if he is so lucky. He should use his luck by batting at no.6.
Because no.4 is not so lucky for him.
At 6 he can go for big shots straight away.He is trash at 4 let's be very honest. He should eliminate his sweep shot, it gives me nausea whenever he goes for a sweep shot.
He might break his bones someday.
At 6 he can go for big shots straight away.
I hope Aqib Javed make him understand.
Hahaha I know Momin but I said it because people on PP believe that he is a second coming of Ab devilliers. He can hit big sixes but he doens't do it because he wants to face as many balls as possible.At 6 he can go for big shots straight away.
Rizwan and Big shots are rarer then a solar eclipse. When he use to bat at no 6/7 during his early days he avg 11 and a sr of less then a 100.
Infact one of his interviews from 2016, he was still complaining about his number and demanding that he should bat higher up the order, it's just he had zero rep at that time so no one listened to him.
Some have figured out it’s ok to not get rid of him, it’s a safe ploy to be chasing 160-170 by the end of it.A few bowlers like Bumrah, Pandya, Cummins, Farooqi have figured out the fact that rizzu isn't your traditional t20 opener so just bowling line and length around the 3rd offstump line will get rid of him, but a few teams haven't atm specially sri lanka
If I posted a 200 total in t20 and a 300+ total in odi.Some have figured out it’s ok to not get rid of him, it’s a safe ploy to be chasing 160-170 by the end of it.
When teams post close to 200, you can bet your bottom dollar Rizwan will not be the one at the end to ensure the score is chased down. It will have to be a Herculean effort by someone down the order to salvage
Well yes you have so many good points.@Mrjungshook
Well yes and no. See rizzu in t20 wants to face as many balls as humanely possible and in t20 bowlers bowl fuller to try to bait batsmen to get out cause they want them to loft.
A few bowlers like Bumrah, Pandya, Cummins, Farooqi have figured out the fact that rizzu isn't your traditional t20 opener so just bowling line and length around the 3rd offstump line will get rid of him, but a few teams haven't atm specially sri lanka.
In odi, the reason he bats at 4 is because it's the perfect position. He has a very very poor technique to play new ball bowling, so rizzu ideally wants to come after 10 overs have been bowled and the ball has settled down.
No 5-7 is too low as as this coward is incapable of playing big shots or playing for the team. Opening or no 3 is too risky as pdi bowlers just bowl inswingers short of the length by default in odi.
His technique is garbage when it comes to playing seam movement. It's why netravalkar exposed this fraud in t20 wc 2024 and so did bumrah.
In tests he's fine for no 6, he's okay on pindi roads. Spin tracks or any overseas track he's useless.
Even Misbah knew never to bat with Rizwan. He can’t let him steal his thunder.If I posted a 200 total in t20 and a 300+ total in odi.
I'm sure as heck not getting rizzu out. In the same way I would make sure to not dismiss misbah.
Afridi at no 7 could still do something. Can't risk his once in a blue moon. Misbah and rizzu? Naw khletei raho bhai.
My only regret is that we never saw Misbah and rizzu bat together. If we had, I guarantee you we'd have pur no 1 pick for the worst duo![]()
I acknowledge He is the best wicket keeper.My brother it is time to accept the reality that Rizwan is the best wk batsman in Pakistan by a country mile.
by a country mile.My brother it is time to accept the reality that Rizwan is the best wk batsman in Pakistan by a country mile.
He’s talking to me as if he is an epiphany in my dreamsby a country mile.
Must be a small country, Is it Vatican city?
Who is it then?I acknowledge He is the best wicket keeper.
I do not acknowledge he is the best wicket keeper batsman.
Nowt better to do...toxic.Why people are so butt hurt about Rizwan?? Like seriously get a life brother.
Even if u loose by ten wickets he is staying captain. So get behind the team or keep whining like crybabies. The fact is you can't name a better wkt bat in pakistan and then back ur claim with performances
Overrate will be an issue and if the pitch will be really good for pacers than four will be more than enough just like the first two gamesJamal can come in for Niazi , that way it will be 5 proper bowlers this is a chance to create history, wicket will be good for pacers hopefully win the toss and blow out opposition
