Fakhar Zaman injury update [Post #39]

[Saj]

Nelson - 9 January, 2018:

"During the first ODI in Wellington Farkar Zarman sustained a contusion to his right thigh while fielding. He was assessed after the match and was diagnosed as having a contusion of the right thigh. He has been receiving treatment and was reassessed early in the morning. However he is not 100% match fit and will not be playing in the second ODI in Nelson", said Pakistan Team Physiotherapist, Vib Singh.

Azhar and Imam opening will send shockwaves in the NZ camp. Since Chucker and Azhar are not droppable, I hope they make them open and slot Haris at 4.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Isnt this just a dead leg?

He probably cant run properly otherwise it's hardly a major injury.

 

[Syed1]

Any chances we had have evaporated now.. Congratulations NZ on a 5-0 result

Positivity.. positivity!

We aren’t a one man team...

Unlike someone else

 

[Syed1]

Positivity.. positivity!

We aren’t a one man team...

It sure seemed like one in the first ODI

 

[shokz1408]

Oh my god yes we have Imam, hopefully he can score heavily. That would mean when Fakhar returns they'll need to play both!

 

[Ellipsism]

Should push Babar up, he’s practically been opening anyways when Shehzad was in the team.

Slot in Harris at three.

 

[babajee]

Don’t worry... we have Azhar Ali. Expecting a big hundred from the champion.

 

[zn426]

We fielded first in that ODI, does that mean Fakhar scored that 82 despite that contusion? If so, that's impressive.

 

[Abdullah719]

Azhar Ali and Imam-ul-Haq is the opening pair I want in Test cricket, not in ODIs

 

[shokz1408]

Haha bro, I'd rather these guys stay on the crease and play slowly initially, than collapse like a pack of cards again.

 

[Rana]

Well imam deserves his chance now...

This is just so uninspiring

 

[Chief Destroyer]

We weren't gonna win anyway because they were gonna play the same team.

 

[DRsohail]

Azhar and Imam opening will send shockwaves in the NZ camp. Since Chucker and Azhar are not droppable, I hope they make them open and slot Haris at 4.

lollzzz.we will surely play all overs now.

 

[KingKhanWC]

We fielded first in that ODI, does that mean Fakhar scored that 82 despite that contusion? If so, that's impressive.

Its the next day when you really feel it. I guess they thought he would recover by now but clearly hasnt.

 

[Markhor]

2-0 New Zealand.

 

[DRsohail]

it shows how big fighter he is..played a good and long innings despite injury.

 

[aloo paratha]

Expect 40-2 after 10 overs..

 

[ImyCheeko]

Azhar and Imam opening will send shockwaves in the NZ camp. Since Chucker and Azhar are not droppable, I hope they make them open and slot Haris at 4.

I had a feeling you would have something negative to say. You only seem positive when India plays. An awful Indian side is the best ever for you

 

[MMHS]

We have to see positive out of it - Fakhar played so well in last innings that by the law of average ...... I hope that's true for Azhar & MoHa as well

It's actually an eye opener for those who can't see the batting strength of PAK team. Some months back one Indian poster responded me (in comparison to AUS/WI of those years) that this Indian batting line up is so strong that a triple centurian isn't assured of his spot in XI (well, it has gone better actually, now XI has expanded to squad) - we can also say that PAK top order is so strong that a player with 80+ average has to wait for an injury ............

Can Sarfraz take a risk and open today?

 

[Poutine]

Any chances we had have evaporated now.. Congratulations NZ on a 5-0 result

Zaman is only ruled out of one match.

 

[Hasan123]

How long he is out for?

 

[Captain]

It is so sickening not to see Harris in playing 11 & It is so pointless talking about Hafeez anymore... i bet the day he's taken out of the team.. he'll start his "Kyun Nikala Mujhai" mantra..

 

[Suleiman]

Can Sarfraz take a risk and open today?

He can't take a risk and skip a plate of juicy beef boti and naan, you think he'll take that risk?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

How long he is out for?

According to reports,just today.

 

[Saj]

Azhar Ali and Imam-ul-Haq is the opening pair I want in Test cricket, not in ODIs

So far it seems Azhar is playing a Test match.

 

[lonex]

It sure seemed like one in the first ODI

Syed bhai always saw you rooting for the team, what happened today ?

 

[Acricfan]

Expect 40-2 after 10 overs..

We have a fortune teller

 

[TheInaudibleParadox]

Hopefully he's not out for too long or any minuscule chance we had in this series is well and truly over.

 

[TeymurBlake]

God great news to hear when just remember that pakistan are playing. Azhar and Imam opening in Test match together ........... oh wait its an ODI *sigh*

 

[QalandarFan]

Expect 40-2 after 10 overs..

Nice prediction!

 

[indipper]

Okay I understand that he got injured. But why playing sluggish Imam instead? Why not Harris?

 

[coy0607]

So far it seems Azhar is playing a Test match.

when is he not? by looking at Azhar's batting you would think he is constantly batting on day 1 of a test match on a minefield

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Big blow.

 

[Madplayer]

Has he been ruled Out of series?

 

[Pete Rose]

It is a great Pakistani tradition to underplay injuries. Won’t be surprised if he is out of the tour

 

[MRSN]

Okay I understand that he got injured. But why playing sluggish Imam instead? Why not Harris?

because Harris is not as dynamic as Imam.

Pakistan Team Physiotherapist Vib Singh Update on Fakhar Zaman

"He is improved a lot. He is joined training this afternoon."

"He is running most of the drills."

"He is still got a day out to see how he improves before we go into the match"

 

[GullyCricketFlop]

Hope he recovers in time for Saturday’s game.We need him badly at the top.

 

[MenInG]

Encouraging statements from PCB guys about Fakhar's fitness but lets see how he feels.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

No need to hurry.

Shouldn't risk permanent damage for a JAMODI.

 

[UN talkz]

He shud call Maqsood and tell him what made him fit within 36 hrs of Inzy's statement. That will help
