Hasan Ali and Babar Azam's performance on the New Zealand tour

[Usman Chadda]

The main reason for Pakistan's dispirited performance. Babar's woes are well-documented and have been highlighted aplenty so far. Hasan has escaped the wrath for some weird reason. He has been as awful as Babar, and looks jaded and tired to be honest. On a day where Amir was steaming in at 145 kph average, he has been trundling around 132 kph.

Faheem and at times, Rumman, have looked much better than both Amir and Hasan. Thats a damning cause for concern in itself. Arthur, while blunt, is right when he says too much league cricket is getting to the players.

Thandi batting aur thanda insan. very disapointed after meeting him

Both are not in good form, give them rest. May be both are over burdened by the team and team management.

 

[Savak]

Hassan was due a bad series.

This. He’s only human.

 

[UN talkz]

Hassan pace has gone down... Not sure what the problem is but if he is injured or something like that and he is not telling this to team management or management is ignoring that then this is very very bad

 

[todfod 11]

What happened?

Nothing much... just he doesnt even bother to say hello to people asking for pic or autograph. on the other hassan ali fakhar zaman harris sohail are gem of a person. will talk to u nicely gives autographs to kids will click pictures. even shoaib malik after being hit by a ball on the head was far more friendly evwn Sania was on his side.

 

[Alter_Ego]

He looks to be an arrogant fellow Babar from what I have seen on tv

 

[Inzi_fan_No_1]

Hassan was due a bad series.

True and we need to stop sending our best players globe trotting in domestic T20 leagues.

Not impressed with Hasan Ali recently. I remember him in the 2nd ODI doing his cringe worthy trademark celebration after scoring a 50 when the score was 210/7 and then he got out a ball or two later. I'm all for having a bit of fun but not when your team is in shambles.

he's tired..someone needs to reign in these guys and prevent them going on useless trips to every maaja gamma league in the world

Hasan Ali is not bowling the way he used to post 3rd odi, after Pakistan lost the ODI series. Whe he came to bowl opening spell in the 4th odi [most probably against his mindset] he looked a completely different bowle, same as AMir. Thought he would get better after the rest but again today he was miserable. Arthur needs to find out soon what is the issue. Pakistan has an internal politics problem. He is the fittest guy in the team, we have insecure seniors in the side who are not positive energy for the side. Even Harris and Amin body language was not good.
Babar has been exposed due to his poor technique and failed to bat on a bouncy wicket but Hasan is our main strike bowler. Amir and Hasan should be rested I feel Yamin should get a proper chance.
The only competitive game Pakistan played was where Nawaz, Faheem, Shadab and Yamin played together in. These 4 should be consistently given chances to prove themselves.

Lol even in Hasan's bad series, he still got more wickets than Amir yet we are comparing them..

Amir is criticised for lack of effort. It would be hypocritical to not criticize Hasan for that when it's clear to see.

Don't worry; after this tour, Hasan is going to take part in the greatest T20 league ever - Hong Kong T20 Blitz! And as soon as that finishes, he will take part in PSL!

 

[Misia]

Amir needs to be dropped, Hasan rested

I don’t get this tired excuse for Amir and Hasan? Pakistan had hardly play any cricket in last 6/8 months. Fro them playing cricket is an event, not job it seems like...

There are too many distractions, they don’t train enough to bowl 10 quality overs, even 4 is hard for them...Amir was bowling with his real pace today, too bad he cannot keep up that intensity for Odis not for series, that’s lack of fitness, same goes for Hasan...Pakistan is doing worse with these modern day distractions in world cricket...

You need 5/6 140 clicks bowlers, couple 145 clicks avg pace to sustain quality at international level. Pakistan is not 25% there, no way we can be top tier bowling with these standards
