Don't look at where the ball went like PAK selectors - look where his follow through ended - any half decent new ball bowler,on slightly helpful condition - moving couple of inch will get him at gully or point.

he is hack but worth a try and CT will have flat wickets so he can succeed
 
70/0 in 10 overs

very good start again by these two. Consistently played well in all 3 games.

Won't - even on roads in June, white Kookaburra will move in air for first hour in UK. Besides, tag me when he hits anything on back foot. International coaches are not Basit Ali standard - I can tell you against IND & SAF, he won't get a single ball to hit at half volley.

Fakhar has been the best opener in this tournament by a countrymile.

Just a couple of weeks ago you were raving about a dud like Asif Zakir after looking at a highlights package. We all saw what he turned out to be. Even Imran Farhat would look like the second coming of Gilchrist if you go by highlights package.

Absolutely different type batsman - SK is back foot player, who could shift his body weight. Arthur worked on his balance more than any thing else. And, his hitting power is unmatched in PAK.

Well Sharjeel isn't there. No point crying over spilled milk.

Who to select in Sharjeel's absence. Azhar? Shehzad? Kami? Hafeez? give me a break..

And he has scored runs in domestic.

Fakhar Zaman plays shots like khabu Khurram Manzoor.
 
Farhan has serious issues in finding the gap. Another Shehzad. Not good enough.. next.
 
Going by your logic Shezzy and Akmal were top scorers recently in domestic. So have them as first name on sheet? [MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION]

In the same domestic system Fakhar has wiped the floor with Asif Zakir. If Zakir was so good he would have scored more than Fakhar. Sorry I'd much rather trust numbers and averages to make my judgement rather than what some keyboard experts think

No because they have been tried at international level and failed.
 
Fakhar may be limited as a batsman but his approach towards batting is really good , a really busy player.
 
Good shot by Farhan. Phainti for chacha in that over.

Fakhar hasn't certainly set the world on fire in his international appearance.

You made that judgement on 2 batting performances in T20s in which he batted at 5 and 6 when he is primarily an opener??


Well done mate :14:


I think you have a future at PCB

he has right approach yto modern day cricket and can improve if pak persist with him

brendon mucculum said before PSL starts when asked about which qalandar young player are you excited

about his reply was fakhar zaman "he looks a real deal""

surely he has some talent and ability

Fakhar has proved that he deserve to open in CT, but that would be a sensible decision so I don't expect it to happen.

Hahah that is true


Fully expect our top four to be Azhar, Shehzad, Babar and Hafeez.


Thank you Inzi and Mickey

:salute

BMac was paid well to say good words, only. In PSL & here as well - just see the change in SR for FZ once fielders are a bit spread out & his primary shot - leg hoaik is blocked. In International, that 4 against Ifti is at most 1% shot - that's once in 100 times it'll miss a fielder.

Azhar, Shehzad, Babar, Hafeez, Malik, Sarfraz, Umar

they will hardly get to 250 on a 300+ pitch

Don't bother explaining.

Fakhar Fan boys will see the reality soon anyways.

well we will see when he gets selected for ct and played as a opener

Sharjeel got the same reactions before that PSL 100.

People have such short memories. They forget how Sharjeel also used to look like the king of hacks when he first came on the scene.
 
Just to rub it into MMHS Fakhar hits an inside out shot over extra cover.
 
For those who call Fakhar a hack, I understand considering his limited shot selection.

However, he has the average and the strike rate and the form on his side. He will be better than the Akmals and Shehzad, especially as an opener.

The question really is do you want Akmals, Shehzad, and Azhar like openers for CT, or would you like to see someone who bats at a decent strike rate, and has a good average. In my opinion, there is no better alternative than Fakhar to open in CT at this point.
 
I admit Fakhar looks ugly and hackish, but cricket isn't about how classy you look while playing. It is about how many runs you score in how many balls faced. You could be standing with your backside facing the bowler but if you manage to score at an average of 50 with sr of 90 and wipe the floor with your competition then you deserve selection. Keyboard experts won't get this.

Couldn't have said it better! This and the fact that we have no better alternative than Fakhar

That was indeed over extra cover - but you don't know the difference of inside out drive & slice with open face. Easiest way to see the difference is, for in side out follow through ends pointing long off, in slice, it ends pointing fine leg ..............

people are reluctant to give new players a chance, and they keep complaining about others at the same time :facepalm: give him a run of games fgs
 
Another "inside out" "drive" for a single to long off .......

Mate don't try to act like an expert. You said he has only one shot and ranted about some made up percentage. I'm sorry but whatever you say I take with a bucket of salt because you are proven wrong more often than not.

I hope Maqsood get out quickly so Yamin can get his 3rd consecutive 50 too

in the last 2 games, when Farhan and Fakhar scored 50s he did it too with am excellent SR as well
 
it baffles my mind seeing Sohaib maqsood getting worse day by day .the shots he played in while getting out

some matches of psl and domestic were terrible .i hope he finds some form today

You don't need to take me as an expert - I even don't dream to reach that height. Don't troll, that'll be enough, other wise more often than not, it ends like, you know .....

anyone who says Fakhar doesn't have off side game hasn't seen enough of him, he has hit boundaries on Cut shots, Square drives, Cover drives just recently, watch the highlights of last 2 games.
Kneejerk reactions are just too strong here.
 
Good "leg-side hack" by Maqsood through the covers :))



#PP experts
 
Nice straight push to long-on by "leg-side-hack" Fakhar
 
Nice, assured foot movement and playing with straight bat by Maqsood.
