Fawad Alam's ODI Average Approaching 50 - Countdown Thread

[Mamoon]

I like meself controversial.

 

[Mainul]

But i can recall some of your comments about Fawad before Asia cup, when many PP posters were demanding of Fawad's inclusion in the team and was praising him.Actually Fawad is beginning to earn the respect of his haters by his performance on the pitch what really matters.And he will continue in the future inshallah.Thats the way to be in the heart of someone for long,not merely by the stardom and celebrity image and so called talent that never blossoms.

 

[Mamoon]

A hater will find ways to put down the player he hates no matter what. I don't love or hate any player, I am only concerned for the welfare of the team and Fawad has proven to be an able anchor in the middle order and an upgrade on Misbah.

 

[Mainul]

Sounds good.I am sure and hopeful you will further upgrade Fawad in the future if you are actually a non-hater.Fawad is the Michael Hussy of Pakistan in ODIs.He is the Sangakkara of Pakistan in tests.Something like that...But yes, a long way to go actually.He is not even in the test squad yet

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

The hate will return and knives will be out the drawer as soon as the first failure happens with the bat ..... with calls to replace him with Amin.

 

[Mamoon]

Amin and Fawad are not competing for the same spot.

 

[Square Drive]

Let's see if Fawad can raise that average today!

 

[Square Drive]

Well, on the contrary, our man Fadi's average has gone down to 45.14. Quite surprising, really.

 

[Aman]

The drives are the banes of Pakistan cricket

 

[Square Drive]

Go away Aman.

Simply not good enough he should be discarded for Haris sohail.

It would have gone down further had he not bat selfishly in the 2nd ODI.

+1..But it is very unlikely to happen.

 

[JibranAnsari]

He will come back with a bang.. already shown in the sl series and asia what he is capable of. Two bad matches dont mean much.

 

[Pete Rose]

A comeback in 2016 on the cards

 

[Mamoon]

The funny thing is, he will still be our most reliable and consistent batsnan against SL and Bangladesh and will give false hopes over how Pakistan have found a true modern day anchor. That is till he comes up against good captains, good fielders and thinking bowlers.

The disintegration that we saw against Aus wasn't a one off and neither will he back with the a bang against the aforementioned teams. His fan club can believe otherwise for sure, but there is a reason why he was kept out for 4 years and for the very same reason, he will back in domestic cricket where he truly belongs and Pakpassion will surely stop wailing this time around.

 

[Sher Khan]

Fawad Alam should return to the ODI middle order. He is far better than his competition.

 

[Shoaibbtt]

Fawad Alam should return to the ODI middle order. He is far better than his competition.

I think if you wanna prolong his career then keep him in tests, I reckon too much will put a strain on his body and might lead to injuries.

Test in my view is the real man’s game

 

[Mainul]

I support inclusion of Fawad in ODIs. He has better track record in ODIs and list A than his compatriots. He can be an anchor in middle order. He is fit enough. And it's difficult as a test player in Pakistan team to concentrate just on one format when your team play 5-6 tests per year. So playing ODIs shall keep himself in the game yearlong
