Glad to see Zia Ul Haq and Hammad Azam performing. Both have tremendous potential just need to work hard.

Really impressed with Israrullah as well over the last two years he has been pretty impressive with positive intent.
 
Would love to see Zia Ul Haq play against Zimbabwe where we can rest Amir. Hammad has been a super all rounder in this Pakistan Cup, pretty good with the ball and good lower order hitting with the bat.

talat needs to perform well.. i desperately want this guy to perform otherwise hafeez will be back in the team..
 
4 wickets for Nawaz so far, another bad day for Talat in this cup. Fed 273-6 after 42.
 
Maqsood is the sorry looser of the cursed Misbah era - this guy should have played 200 LO games by now. He has temperamental issues and shot selection weakness, which could have led to an stats like 29/110, instead of 45/90; but his hitting ability is unreal, among very few PAK batsmen who can loft effortlessly and he can hit boundaries outside Power play, which makes him actually a more all-round destructive player than Sharjeel. Playing under a pro coach for few years definitely would have solved most of his temperamental issues and technical glitches in his game.

Cant understand what was Misbah's fault; Maqsood got too many chances; more than he deserved but didn't improve at all and hasn't improved since and continues to slog mindlessly; he has done nothing in PSL apart from one innings. You can't give consistent run to a guy who has played lot of intl cricket; is 30+ already and very very inconsistent.

He got his chances unlike others, who were dropped after playing a game or two.

He was dropped down the order to No. 7, from No. 3 despite hitting couple of 50s from No. 3 against SAF at start - to accommodate Asad Shafiq for 50+ games ....... then, Azhar Ali was played at 3 and Maqsood got dropped - you need more clue?

Not only Maqsood, every attacking batsman was filtered out one by one - first forced down the order to win larke lenge style (it did happen once for Maqsood in SRL), then out of squad. Maqsood, Umar, Jamshed - 3 names instantly comes to mind - add to that, Amin was hardly given chance, Fakhar had to wait for 5 years with a List A stats like 50/90 and Sharjeel hardly played back to back game ......... Only young batsman who had a longer stay was Ahmed, who did figure out what is appreciated in moods operand - they all made Misbah look like Javed for sure.

Again, I say in that period Asad Shafique played over 50 ODI, MoHa cemented his spot in top 3 from a career stats of 19/58 before 2010, and YK batting at 3 ............................. and Azhar Ali was brought back as Captain & opener.

Think again bro.

I think he batted at 6 continously even in WC15 and did absolutely nothing; the abilities he has got surely 6 was not a bad position. He should have performed even if he batted at 7 or 8; look at his dismissals; pathetic way to get out every time, throws away his wicket each and every time and that's not acceptable imo.

They are going all guns blazing because they need to chase down the total in 29.2 overs to qualify.

Top bowling by M Asghar, 10-1-24-1, in such a high scoring game
 
Salman Butt 101 - good innings and has set them up for a win.

Seeing lots of high scoring games. Is it that we have come to our senses and making good batting tracks or bowling quality has gone down:sanga

Think it's a bit of both. Surprised to see the huge scores being posted almost every match - hopefully we can unearth some hard hitting batsmen for our LOI teams.
 
Is sadaf performing well in this tournament. I mean beyond just the stats. What to make of his performances?

We will recover from Misbah's disastrous era in next 2-3 years.

Federal Areas are the winners of the Pakistan One-Day Cup (2018) after defeating Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by 5 wickets with 54 balls remaining; Superb performances by Agha Salman (60), Saad Nasim (51) & K Akmal (49);Scores KP 252 (43.4/50 ov),Federal Areas 254/5 (41/50 ov) #PakistanCup
 
I gather Hussian Talat hasn't done much in this tournament since his name hardly propped up in this thread. Asif Ali was spectacular, I think those three sixes off Hasan flipped a switch in him. He is an asset for any side at 5 or 6, we need to wager with him in the ODI side. If he comes off then may God help our opponents, no harm in trying.

Agha Salman also hardly showed up, two fifties in the PSL seem to be exception rather than the rule.



[MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION] am I correct in my assessment that Talat and Salman have failed in the PC?

Talat did absolutely nothing with the bat. Bowled a couple of decent spells with the ball.

Agha has a fifty today but not much besides that.

Asif Ali has been a revelation, though.

Perhaps the little bit of fame got to Talat's head. He did seem the kind of guy who has that arrogance gene.



I hope this ill-performance is a reality check for him and he puts his head down and works hard.


Salman is perhaps too mediocre to succeed consistently.
