Farhaan Behardien should have played against India

[TahirFan]

Behardien must play today

The guy batted brilliantly in our domestic competition

Behardien should take the place of AB if he is not fit to play or he must take the place of JP Dumminy

 

[ToeCrusher2]

Behardien is the worst cricketer to ever don the international jersey of a top level team

 

[King Kong]

SA had to drop Duminy for the 2nd ODI against England due to his repeated poor performances. Behardien replaced him and looked clueless right from the start. Guess what it took just a match for JP to regain his place. That shows how trash a player he is. Has to be the worst player ever to have played for SA.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Scoring a quickfire t/20 50 is more of joke these days. It is beyond me how he's played more than 10 ODI's with his extremely limited talent. Probably only because of the quota system. He wouldn't even make the Zimbabwe side on merit.

Behardien may not be the best international ODI player but he is definitely a better ODI player than Ahmad Shezad, Hafeez, Fakhar, Haris Sohail, Imad Wasim, Umar Akmal

Behardien would walk into the Pakistani team if he was Pakistani

I have this feeling that he will play today and play well

He is not better than Haris Sohail.

 

[Protea Fan]

AB should/will play today and i hope its time to unleash the beast inside him anyway behardien is a poor cricket by SA standards and i simply don't wanna see him anymore

Also SA need to add either Pretorius or Phehlukwayo for Parnell who has had an abysmal tournament going on

Is Behardien a Muslim of Indian descent like Amla?

I have always wondered about his origin.

 

[Iddy]

Look whilst I accept Hafeez and Shezad are not great, Beharadien to me is pretty poor. To me not good enough and I don't know how he gets into the SA team. Better than Harris and Umar Akmal I very much doubt!

So you are defending him on the basis of him being better than Pakistani batsmen?

 

[KyoOne]

Wont ever play for SA. Thats my guess, was terrible in England series

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Should never play for SA IMHO....From whatever I saw of him, he seems extremely limited and this is coming from a bloke who's used to Pakistani Batsmen

 

[TahirFan]

Is Behardien a Muslim of Indian descent like Amla?

I have always wondered about his origin.

Beharedien is a Muslim of Malasian origin

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Beharedien is a Muslim of Malasian origin

You mean Malaysian ?? or is that some other race ??

 

[KyoOne]

Beharedien is a Muslim of Malasian origin

His sir-name sounds persian

 

[TahirFan]

You mean Malaysian ?? or is that some other race ??

Yes Malaysian... sorry about the spelling

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Yes Malaysian... sorry about the spelling

Hmmm.....well I've been working in Malaysia for the past 3 years. In most cases the Muslim names here particularly have a 'bin' separating the first and the surname / family name, just like the Arab. This seems quite a strange instance where I am seeing a Malaysian decent Muslim having just two names i.e. a first and a family....

 

[Sami92]

Beherdien struggled in the ODI against England. I guess SOU will try Temba Bavuma in ODIs to replace him sooner or later.

 

[TahirFan]

All the Protea players are seen as superstars back home in south Africa with the exception of Behardien.

There is a great expectation at home for these players to perform and win the trophy

Behardien does not have this expectation, the guy is as calm as a cucumber and plays with a free spirit regardless of the event. It's very unlikely that Behardien will choke

His batting style is very unconventional and it's difficult to set a field for him

The Proteas missed a chance

 

[Hasan123]

This rubbish cricketer wouldn't have made a difference

 

[JaDed]

That's a fail logic,just because nothing is expected of him he would had done well.
