Haris Sohail vs Babar Azam - who would you pick?

[Speedster777]

Both should be in the team. However, the TTF seniors hafeez and malik should retire and make way for youngsters. Both will flop in England as usual.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Both should be in the playing eleven.

That will be possible if Hafeez opens or Hafeez is benched in favour of Imad Wasim.


Legspinners are an attacking option so Shadab should play most games while only one out of Hafeez or Imad should be in playing eleven so that Haris plays at number 4.


I think Mickey will favour Left Right combination in middle order.

Hafeez will open with one of azhar/shehzad IA

 

[Rayyman]

Hafeez will open with one of azhar/shehzad IA

Yes hopefully. This will allow Haris to play at #4 against SA or #5 against IND/SL.

Malik should move down to #5 against SA because he is poor against pace; But he can play at #4 vs IND/SL.

There is no hope for Azhar he is slow and will only get 80 strike rate max.

I will play Shehzad over him because he can hit shots sometimes and is the best fielder in the team.

Sarfraz will have to work on his power hitting. No choice. If he isn't strong enough, then should work on scoop shot, helicopter and late cut for death overs.

Hopefully this will be Top 6:
Shehzad
Hafeez
Babar
Malik/Haris
Haris/Malik
Sarfraz*+

Babar is miles ahead. Haris still has a lot to prove and we all finally get to see if PP's golden boy is any good or not

I believe Harris is the better batsman from what we've been given. He has scored runs abroad and in testing conditions, showing the intent to play positively while wickets fell around him, this was in the Misbah era before his unfortunate injury.

Babar is still an excellent batsman but we have not seen everything yet, scoring 4 centuries against West Indies is commendable, especially so early on, but one has to take into consideration the conditions and bowlers.

The champions trophy will put these players together for the first time and I'm excited.

 

[Ultimate]

When it comes to the longer format, Haris hands down. Otherwise, in the limited overs cricket, Babar is better.

I hope Haris plays at 4 and makes that position his own, and Hafeez opens. That will expose Hafeez's deficiencies that he has been so skillfully hiding over the years by bashing minnows and batting one down.
