Exposing propaganda against Faheem Ashraf using stats!

[RyanRyan10]

It's unfortunate to see him being made a scapegoat despite not participating in a single match in this Champions Trophy. While it is alleged that his selection was due to political connections, this claim is not accurate. Faheem Ashraf's inclusion was a result of his excellent performances in domestic tournaments and leagues.

Let's check his numbers:

President's Cup

- He scored 264 runs in 4 innings at an average of 66 and SR of 129 and was the 2nd top run getter despite batting at no.6

- He also picked up 6 wickets in 5 innings

BPL T20

- He had highest strike rate in the tournament (231)

- He was the 2nd highest wicket-taker with 20 wickets in 11 matches at an average of 13.90 and economy rate of 7.1

Enough of this BS, we know what is his calibre deserving players are waiting in queu to get a game.

Jehandad Khan, Abass Afridi , Wasim Jr.

Thank you for this thread. Undue pressure on Rana jee.. Did not play a single game yet blamed for the loss.

Faheem must be playing as an invisible 12th man in the first game vs newzealand and the 2nd game vs India

you know the quality of the poster when he blames the players on the bench instead of the the players on the field

last time it was imad and amir but this time since all the favourites like imam rizwan babar naseem rauf shaheen were in the playing xi so lets blame the bench who have not played a single game

Important thread, no point in blaming a player who didn't play single match. In fact he played just a tri series final only and bowled just 2.2 overs and scored 22(21). I would rather blame those 5 players who are playing just based on their reputation without any accountability. Fans should come out of their emotions and start calling spade a spade

Fahims addition meant we couldnt have an extra pacer or spinner that ruined our combination.

 

[Major]

lol BPL is the standard for player selection?

Whats next Nepal league stats?

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a 4D chess to prove this argument with stats.

 

[Asif321]

Arrey bhai maaf karo . How come a player who wasn’t playing past two years and hasn’t done something amazing in past suddenly comes into squad ? How you justify that . If it was t20 format then it’s understandable if he is brought on BPL performances . They were just scared to go with irfan niazi , muqeem or Arafat . Opted for experience and got shamed .

Afro t20 cup makes sense

Totally forgot about these guys. Jahandad has potential they should have stuck with him . Abbas Afridi was massive shock . He is much better bowler than hasnain and rauf or even Afridi . Wasim jnr just got lost somewhere doesn’t have much sufarish . Amir Jamal also faced the heat of nepotism

 

[Asif321]

Thank you for this thread. Undue pressure on Rana jee.. Did not play a single game yet blamed for the loss.

No one blaming for loss . It’s his selection . Same goes with guys like Usman . If he is not good enough to replace Fakhar why is he there? You had to call imam from his bed to come and play . Doesn’t that show how pathetic your selection was ?

 

[Savak]

He is a TTF and not worth investing in anymore.

He was excelling in tests under Misbah so you must support him instead of getting angry on me

What has misbah got to do with me supporting anyone?

Faheem is garbage

Extra pacer? They didn't gave proper chance to Hasnain who only played 1 game in entire tri series and CT. Faheem might have come with some jack but he wasn't selected in playing 11 so no reason to blame him now. The blame lies with only 6 players (Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen, Naseem, Haris & Imam)

That's all if and buts rizwan would have never played anything other than his friend kushdil

One of Pakistans best batsman in CT'25 was someone who starred in the recent BPL and whose team lost the semis after he was dropped

 

[SportsWarrior]

if anyone anywhere base their selections on BPL, they deserve everything they get. BPL is probably the worst league there is, the quality of local players is abysmal, horrible grounds, overall poor quality of cricket. Moreover who selects someone for ICC ODI tournament based on BPL T20 performances?

But the best batter for Pakistan was the one they picked from BPL?

He was not played because there was no place for him in the side. But the Captain and coach were deprived of a specialist spinner or a better fast bowling option like Mohd Wasim, Abbas Afridi or Jahandad khan.

Also we make noise about playing new players and also batters need to show aggression and intent but if they fail just once or twice they are dropped. We need to back new players, look at Kamran Ghulam he got out a few times trying to play with aggression & he was dropped and suddenly it is Tayyab Tahir in the side. How are you going to find new stars if you change them without a proper chance.

Tell me which game we lost because we were deprived of a specialist spinner? Or a fast bowler?

We lost because we were posting 22 runs in 10 overs.

Oh Mr expert who plays test type of innings in odi?

I have also mentioned stats of Presidents Cup, Pakistan's premier domestic obe day tournament, where he was the standout performer.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Correlation does not imply causation. Best batter was also pretty average and can comfortably outplay everyone in BPL.

If someone is an utter failure at international level since 2017, there is no need to check his " current form ". The guy is not made for international cricket. No need to give him another chance for 10th time . There are other cricketers also waiting for their first chance.

 

[moghul]

If other failed, his very average performance and scoring some runs as tailender doesn't make him the "best batter ".

 

[BouncerGuy]

Nobody can defend Faheem's selection. It was totally political and Faheem was not among top 50 players in line to get selected for the champions trophy squad but yeah, he made his way back.

Stats-wise, Usman should have played ahead of Saud but he did not even get a single game.
