He's going to be the first Pakistani to score a double hundred IA. I can feel it, and it could happen anytime soon. The only player who bats high enough in the order and who plays the modern game against each and every opposition. He will score a double ton if not a 180+ score on a flat deck.

I agree with you. Its only a matter of time. Might happen in this series itself.

I feel he lack temperament to play long innings. I may be proven wrong if he do so. For time being I stand on this, for that to happen he need to play sensible cricket with attack and defence.
 
I am not convinced with his ability of playing marathon innings. He will score plenty of 100s but scoring a double requires a lot of concentration.
 
His style of play at the moment means he is prone to start slogging wildly once he reaches a milestone. Hopefully once he starts playing test matches he will wisen up and improve his temperament. But IA he is looking the most likely PAK player at the moment.
 
His HS in List As interestingly is 180, for Pak A vs/in Zimbabwe A

Zimbabwe ‘A’ skipper Malcolm Waller was left to rue his decision to insert the tourists into bat at the Harare Sports Club as the left-handed Fakhar plundered the bowling to smash 21 boundaries and four sixes as Pakistan ‘A’ amassed 339-2 in their 50 overs.

The 26-year-old Mardan-born opener was in dominant mood while surpassing his previous highest List A score of 165. Fellow opener Jaahid Ali scored 29 from 64 balls in his partnership of 92 with Fakhar.

I hear he is going to get exposed soon and will score more runs of his helmet, and is a mediocre batsman.

In my view though, he's class, but like all of our batsman, his concentration levels aren't high enough yet. However, Mickey's focus on fitness and concentration means he will get their soon. Maybe not this series, but I would guess by next year, against some minnow team, he might get to that double.

ODI is hardly a marathon...

he already batted 30 over today, could comfortably have gone another 10-12.. which is how much he would've need to get to 200

I think he will hit 200 against India in WC, he already showed his potential in Eng against Ind last year

Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar are not wicket taking bowlers and Fakhar will neutralise the threat of Kuldeep so 200 is definitely on the cards.
 
No matter how good a player is , if he makes 200+ in an ODI, the ground has to be small, pitch a paradise and the opposition not the best.

I think it's more important for him to score hundreds in big matches against good opponents. Scoring a double v Zim will have little merit.
 
Double ton is for non hit and miss players.

By that criteria, fakhar will miss it.

150+ likely if all stars align in the perfect position but that's his limit unless he learns to play the Indian classical style.
 
Will be hard, I don't know if there is a current top order Pakistan batsman that can do that maybe Malik but he's not good against quality teams or quality pacers.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Fakhar isn't hit or miss. In 15 matches he has scored 727 runs with an average of 55.92. He has 2 100s and 5 50s. "stars align" lol
 
It’s only a matter of time. Shobby would have already achieved the feat if he batted in top order. Umar Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad also has the talent to do it if they were given enough opportunity.

Nazir can close a decade ago.

Anwar was almost there two decades ago.

Pakistan would have had 5-6 double centurions in ODI Cricket by now.

Bhaijaan you have gone too far :moyo
 
The name sounds familiar..maybe that corner of my brain where I keep memories I want to forget. Don't even know how he looks like.

Bhai, Ahmed Shehzad was not given enough opportunity? New to me.

FYI, he always opens for Pak whenever he is in the team. Should he be given opportunity to start batting a day before the match?
 
I think he can but i feel pak fans will be more happy if he can score match winning hundreds more consistently than scoring 200.
 
He sure could be the first one to do so if he actually can be consistent at the top as he does most times than most of the others gets starts but does not capitalise.
 
He is the batsman most suited to scoring a quick fire century or double hundred iwhen he fires up Pakistan win simple as that. Hopefully he can build up a run of form that takes him into the ODI World Cup.

What I want to know is, what was that Jaahid Ali doing at the other end?

Jaahid Ali is known for being pretty slow. I remember following the performances of the A team in the during torrid phase our national team was going through back in 2016, and this pair of Fakhar and Jaahid was consistently very stable. Fakhar being the aggressor with Jaahid playing "test" knocks. Wonder if he's improved his strike rate since then.

Jaahid Ali played really well against the English A team in the 2016 tour if I remember correctly.
 
If Pakistan bat first in the next two games then I would put my money on him doing it, this Zimbabwe side is shambolic!
 
Aaye haaye Rana ji taking fifers on and off the field.
 
My friend you have done an amazing job making this thread at a time like this :)))
 
[MENTION=2016]Rana[/MENTION] you beauty!
 
He just keeps getting better. What a player.
 
Surely I deserve a POTW?!?!

You can’t just predict a specific player will be the first to score a 200 and the guy goes on to actually do it a few days later!
 
When I first saw this thread I was like no way, Fakhar is a good player and a great player by Pakistani standards but 200 just seems like a dream. I thought it was one of those typical PP delusional threads.

Turns out I was being too pessimistic rather than OP being delusional. Congrsts everybody.
 
The initial thread title was,

“Fakhar Zaman will be the first Pakistani to score a 200 in ODI”

I was convinced and had no doubt he would do I don’t really need the feel for the question mark.

Watch he will do it again! He will score 180+ once again!
 
Yes it is a against a weak bowling attack.

But a double hundred is a double hundred.

Got to admire his fitness too.

Still going.
 
This thread is nearly as big a fluke as Bilal7’s thread on how Pakistan would surprise the world in the Champions Trophy.

However, the timing of this thread was fantastic, and the OP deserves full credit for it. Congratulations are definitely in order.

Nonetheless, I am very sad today. Saeed Anwar is one of my all-time favorites, and to see his record broken against a third class team makes very sad.

I am not taking anything away from Fakhar, he has been a shining light for Pakistan, but this is an artificial record - a fake record that is nowhere near as worthy as Saeed Anwar’s 194 against India.
 
Well done Fakhar for pakistans 1st ever double ton, even though it was against mediocre opposition.
 
Well done Fakhar Zaman. Hope he becomes one of the best batsman for Pakistan.

Now go get two more double hundreds and wait for people on PP to call you a FTB.

Which means absolutely nothing. However, I hope that Fakhar can be a player who can fire Pakistan to series wins against the top teams.

Thanks for the praise but Fluke? I think not mate. Mods are witness to this, they changed the thread title to a question mark rather than the complete statement I submitted. I was never in doubt and my reasoning was justified. I clearly said that it’s his modern game ability and batting right at the top that will enable him to do so. A fluke would be to predict Asif Ali would break DeVilliers record of the fastest hundred, as it seems he will need lots of factors going his way. But no, not for Fakhar and this record.

Mark my words, he will score a 180+ score against a top tier side also in this modern age
