Sometimes you need to drop players for being selfish.

What are you trying to say- that he should not have gone for the shot? How is that selfish? He could have batted and just finished on 85 off 100 balls- actually would that not have been more selfish? It looks much better than just 52. Irony is if he had done that you would have called him more selfish than you are now but that would have got us to 275?

Is this the first time he has done this? Seriously man stop being a fan and watch the game for a change. Do you think it's right to sell your team mates down the river in the final ten overs after you have gotten your fifty. This a pattern of behavior and not the first time.
 
Now you can see why Umar Akmal is required :)

I think it's best for Umar Akmal to linger in the domestics for a season. Can't give him a free pass, need to set the right example. I say select him after he plays a season or two of domestic cricket, he's young anyway.

Right now, we need to drop Fawad, Nasim, Ajmal, Gul, and maybe Hafeez. Select Zafar, Hammad, Babar Azam, Maqsood, Ehsan. Form a lower order pool of Maqsood, Sarfraz, Zafar, Hammad? Will fix a lot of issues, such as the lower order collapse.
 
we are 80 runs short.. Hafess has to go.. Was a big fawad supporter but has changed my mind. He can not play at this level and has no big short.. Umar Akmal , Barbar azam . ... We really need mohammad amir back, Junaid is average ..
 
I can not hit sixes- where would you rather I bat if I was selected- Overs 10-35 or overs 40-50?!
The accumulation phase of the innings rarely sees sixes.
Today our top 3 batted well-so in a perfect world where Fawad is number 4,(Azhar Sami Haris top 3) he would have come in at over number 20 or if we only lose our second wicket at over 34, the number 5,6,7 should be promoted ahead of him.

Noone our batting is stuck in the 90s..because of comments like this. With today's agressive cricket where the number 3 and number 4 batsmen are batting at late 80s or 90+ SR you want Fawad to go in?The guy can't hit boundaries if his life depended on it. He had a pretty good oppurtunity last game when he came in over 16. He failed and will continue to fail.
 
We need Akmal & Shehzad back

Why would we need Shehzad? Top order is better without him.

Umar Akmal's case is different. He needs to play a season or two of domestic cricket before he's re selected so the PCB set the right example and attitude. Akmal can't be given a free ticket based on talent.
