Ohh no 4-1 coming Pakistan even against this average Australian side

Yes we were leading 2-1 so real setback.

A better option than useless Shafiq

 

[hadi123]

He's a better player than Shafiq but just an awful captain. He's gonna be sacked most likely when we lose

Dont mind having him back in the side in place of Shafiq, who is an absolute dud in ODIs; the second coming of Younis Khan. The only problem now is whether Babar will be moved down the order to accommodate Hafeez at number 3, which shouldn't happen in a million lifetimes. Hope someone in our management sees sense to play Hafeez in the lower order, as he's a sitting duck at the top.

Made me laugh.

As for the topic ie his comeback, won't make much of a difference other than Babar being moved to #4 unfortunately.

 

[Brilliance]

The most important thing is to ensure Babar Azam is kept at 3.

It is never going to happen. Hafeez will play at 3. Buddy culture dominates any logic and loyalty in Pakistan team.

Correct, hoping Arthur can do something but seems likely Hafeez will bat at 3.
