Far too often Pakistan dish out its fan the most unworthy of the Selection that one can digest. Being a Senior is seen as a trait-e-irresistible. Deserving youngsters warming benches or struggling to get opportunities where as
mediocre "Seniors" can book themselves the fattest couch and teach the world lessons of being a good "Passenger" in flight mode.
These are the norms of Pakistan cricket and like the country itself its cricket is far far from being perfect. There are times when millions pray for justice for some revenge against blatant favoritism but that thirst is hardly quenched.
On a, not so bright Sunday Morning Haris chose the Mecca or cricket to have his vengeance. his batting drew gasp and awe's of admiration's from all over the world and everyone was asking only one question in unison
"How the Heck in the world was he dropped?"
This question was Riverbating with growing chant's of "Haris Haris" in the Lords stand the atmosphere had suddenly become electric the buzz is unbeatable, the smile wider and heart beat gone absolutely crazy
If Pakistan sinking inning and Cricket needed a savior than here He was the lazy elegance may not tell you how badly it has hurt those in powers
Every sweetly time effortless drive was a resounding tight slap. Every time he deposited the ball into the stand he took all sundries along with it and he has made sure with this inning that "They" will have nowhere to hide
Imagine a Team which might go out of the Cup simply because of criminal selection. The fans wait for 4 excruciating years for their best team to put up the best foot forward. Haris with his performance over the past one year would be able to walk into mighty Indian team middle order today and Pakistan had Audacity to drop him for a Senior Malik who averages less than a tailenders in England.
Malik symobolize what is wrong with Pakistan Cricket. Mediocrity over Merit, Backdoor entries, politics murdering emerging talent demoralize young performers keep chasing average players with Zero success.
For the most critical part of the World Cup Pakistan Cricket wore on its chest that Medal of mediocrity by persisting with Malik failure after failure and kept a deserving Sohail on side lines. Pakistan might go out of the tournament dreams and hopes of million might get shattered but Boy Do some seniors have an "Aura" about them "Pakistan cricket be damned"
I also watched another "Senior" who must bat lower down the order like No.5 or 6 where he can offer his best for the team but The Gifted Senior considers it below his dignity to bat at those no.5 where once Greats Like Miadad or Inzy has batted.
"No Problem Senior" Pakistan cricket will bend backwards to accommodate your fancy. So, what if that put Team thin batting line into a pickle and robs us from the late order blitz which Senior can provide us.
So, The Senior walks in with Pakistan 2 down at 98 in 20 overs. I could see Saffers bowling at his pad thinking he might scoop one to deep Mid wicket with a gift wrap and a note "From the Senior with love" he almost holed out again to a full toss in identical manner as he did against Aussies but got lucky. He got lucky again Playing a ungainly Sweep against Tahir just after hitting him for a Six.
The senior than got tied down by part time Spinner and suddenly the fantastic Platform which openers have provided appeared to be wasted
by the time he got out to a part time "offie" playing sweep. The inning has got sucked into oblivion.
With 3 down at 143 in 30 overs and Pakistan into its shaky middle order
any hopes of getting a winning total were on line in this do or die encounter and than Haris Walked in Played a absolute Gem.
Haris reinforce Pakistan batting and its brittle middle order. It will now allow Pakistan batsmen to play with more freedom. Senior must bat at No.5 giving his Place to Haris. Senior himself will benefit from this move
Bowling looks settled as "Leakybucket" Hasan gives way to Shaheen
Isn't is simple that when you get your combination right things start to fall in place. It was all about what Pakistan should have been doing all along rather than jumping the Gun after one odd defeat against West Indies.
They Played their best combination took a decision to bat which must be made mandatory in school Curriculum now. Pakistan next meet a very dangerous New Zealand which going about its business with machine like precision They do have chinks in batting but also happen to possess the best attack in the tournament. Hold on "Did I say Best Bowling attack ?"
Maybe Pakistan bowlers will have a thing or two to say.
However, Those discussions can wait because the Man of the moment is Haris Many saw reflection of Great Inzy in him as how much time he has play his strokes against pacers never hurried. The inning has class written all over it from the moment he walked in looked in complete control timing the ball with a precision of an artist
We all forgot that their is a Classy Babar at the other end such was his stamp of authority. He played the game Which has gone missing from Pakistan cricket for a while a Perfect One day inning sane any risk wild slogs and still going at the rate of knots Oh ! This inning was so god damn pleasing to my sore eyes
It was Wasim with Mark Nicholas who tossed the obvious Question witnessing Haris Astonishing inning that really "Where was he?"
From Sarfaraz to wasim or ask any greats no answer is forthcoming. I propose he ask a different question next time he does commentary
with Pakistan Great "So where have those Seniors , Mediocrity and criminal selections Gone?" The Great Wasim who knows a thing or two about Lords must point his finger in the direction of the Stand where Haris smacked and deposited one which short and wide and asking for it
Thanks god he doesn't Tweet..
