Best #3 in the world? (Compared to Pakistan's)

[fazleefridi]

We know how far we are in terms of batting in ODIS....and the best player bats at 3....just comapre with the top 5 teams to that of Pakistan

AUS-STEVE SMITH
IND-VIRAT KOHLI
RSA-AB DE VILLIERS
NZ-KANE WILLIAMSON
ENG-JOE ROOT

And Pakistan-One and only
THE all time great
"THE PROFESSOR"
one who scores tons against SRL, ZIM, BAN
and to some extent in Asian conditions against ENG...

HAFEEZ....

I know he is so called senior, so called senior, but I truly want BABAR AZAM at 3..bcoz he can become one of the great for pak

my middle order

3.BABAR AZAM
4.HAFEEZ
5.HARIS

even I dont want hafeez at 4..but he will be wit us like a virus till 2019 bcoz he will clear his bowling and say he adds balance to team

after 2019 I want sarfraz at 4

 

[carrom_ball]

You can also compare best no. 1,2,4,5,6,7 in the world and Pakistan will fall short even there so why single out hafeez, he's the most consistent Pak batsman in recent times

 

[Enigma_]

Haris Sohail and Babar Azam are the future of batting for us, they need to be given time to develop. They can be seriously world class.

 

[fazleefridi]

of course he has done very well in seriea vs ENG in UAE, NZ in NZ, and WC...but as I said against ENG it was in UAE, Against NZ its just like school grounds. ...even miss hits goes for 6...and WC he played against BAN and scored well, against IND he came at 7...but his test is in ENG this summer...There we have 7 ODIS.
2 vs IRELAND, 5 vs ENGLAND. ...Leav of ENGLAND I m sure he won't score a century even against IRE...

yes let him play till 2019 but pls not at 3...
atleas BABAR AZAM will get motivated to be one among the best at 3 in the world

 

[fazleefridi]

at 4 we hav BABAR settled, 5 we are waiting for HARIS to come back and we hav sarfraz but he needs to bat in top 4...hafeez is making the batting order worse..otherwise it will be much settled
3.Babar
4.sarfraZ
5.haris

strong middle order

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

I don't think Hafeez will ever be effective with his modified action. And we can't afford a 39 years old player in the 2019 WC squad. He should retire.

 

[street cricketer]

I thought Khalid Latif was your no.3..

 

[fazleefridi]

if I were in Pakistan, I would hav went and pleaded selectors to select dis 7 for England

Fakhar
Azhar
babar
sarfraz
haris
rizwan
yamin

 

[fazleefridi]

ha ha..latif already a failure...wats t use of investing in him again...

 

[fazleefridi]

I can even say BIG 3 are BIG 3 bcoz they have 3 BIGGEST PLAYERS AT 3

AUS-SMITH
IND-KOHLI
ENG-ROOT

 

[switchshot]

Why comparing with top 3 ? Even Shabbir Rahman of BD is better than Pak #3 batsman.

After champion trophy if he continues to do well.

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

No way. I won't take a 35 years old in any format. We should create a young team.

His recent average in last 3 series
61.33 against England
59 against New Zealand
54 against Sri Lanka

His innings against Bangladesh in World T20. You can't drop players for the sake of it. If continues to do well then he can easily play well till Champion Trophy.

Respect to his averages but no compromise on building a young team for the future.

Shehzad and Malik need to be thrown out first and replaced..Hafeez should stay

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

Shehzad and Malik need to be thrown out first and replaced..Hafeez should stay

Malik and Hafeez, both should retire. Shehzad and Akmal should be sent to domestic cricket for 1 year at least and then get selected on merit.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Ok then. Lets blame Hafeez for everything. Did you watch the damn NZ series

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

lol

When did ABD become No 3?

He bats lower down the order mostly.

 

[rhony]

You need a young guy and give him a lot of time. That's what Eng, Ind and AUS did. Haris or Babar should own this spot

 

[devilsadvocate]

Steve Smith, Kohli and AB are the among the best . Pakistan don't even have 1% players in comparison to them.

 

[Ab Fan]

Pakistan is a good batting unit. It's not necessary that you need a kohli or AB or Smith to win games. Teams can still fare well if they all play as a unit as per their potential and gets exploited well.You guys may not become world champions but can play much better cricket than this.Don't be greedy for ATGs and try to deliver with what you have in store.

 

[#GreenRoars]

I thought Khalid Latif was your no.3..

Yes, you are right he WAS.

 

[street cricketer]

Yes, you are right he WAS.

Who the helll selected him, that too at no.3 Roary?

I admit, saw only him at the world cup, but the guy looked like an A grade hack. And they're sending him at no.3.

I would've liked to see someone like Malik at 3.

 

[Mamoon]

de Villiers bats at 3?

You need to watch more cricket.

 

[fazleefridi]

no hafeez or latif both are no different ...I just want babar

His selection for me was a surprise tbh. Apparently he performed well in PSL (i don't agree though). He is not even a A grade hack Even in PSL i noticed that he only plays for himself, not for the team. Our combination in the Asia Cup was best one
Sharjeel and Hafeez opener
Sarfraz
Umar
Malik
Afridi and rest of the guys.

But thanks to our brilliant selectors, they brought Shehzad and Latif into the squad from noooo where, and destroyed our whole team combination.

Players like Khalid Latif, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khurram Manzoor are/were only in the squad because i think the members of selection committee are/were doing favor to their regions.

Still i believe we have much better batsman than Khalid, Shehzad, Khurram and we have much better bowlers than Irfan, Anwar Ali, and others.

Well babar is at 3...

Hafeez at 4 as I said, he would clear his action and comeback

 

[fazleefridi]

Babar competing wel after a year

Good for him

 

[fazleefridi]

That someone is Shahzaib!

Also, love the "or some other maniac" comment.

 

[fazleefridi]

rbyHafeez claiming it again

Poor parosis, despite finding a babar, seniority leads

 

[Gr8Gaur]

I can even say BIG 3 are BIG 3 bcoz they have 3 BIGGEST PLAYERS AT 3

AUS-SMITH
IND-KOHLI
ENG-ROOT

Excellent comment.

 

[Gr8Gaur]

de Villiers bats at 3?

You need to watch more cricket.

You stole my thought mate.
