Hussain Talat is not a capable number 3 batsman

[Sher Khan]

He is a mirror image of the Australian batsmen Travis head. Both flash outside the off stump with hard hands. I think Talat can do okay at number four in Odis after the world cup.

 

[Syed1]

Absolute pathetic batsman should never play for Pakistan again. Twice in two matches he killed our chase. Selfishly played for his own fifty. He makes Shehzad look like a team-man.

 

[arehaan]

This man has now cost us 2 games with his pathetic display. Also I can't understand the mindset of this management where he was played in lower order in ODI and then dropped cause he couldn't slog and then you make him bat at 3 where you needed an aggressor to go with Babar. He put too much pressure on Babar and ultimately threw his wicket and the pattern continued through out. If ever there was a match losing innings one should see this knock. Who could forget that ridiculous paddle scoop on a free hit

 

[Madplayer]

Exactly.

When you are chasing 189 you need to do more than 55 off 41 balls.

The dot balls he played killed the momentum and put pressure on his team mates.

I have seen batsmen playing dots where they hit the ball but it goes straight to the fielder. That is one kind of problem.

But yesterday Talat was playing dots because he was missing the ball altogether. Even when he had played so many balls he was never set. What kind of batsman is he?

 

[Pakhs]

Still I cant understand what is he? Allrounder or Specialist batsman? If he is allrounder than he cant bat as high as number 3 and if he is a specialist batsman he is not good enough. Pakistan need atleast 5 specialist batsmen this team had 3 at best which is asking for trouble.

 

[Hamza_]

Looks out of sorts.

 

[world cup captain]

He has potential but there is a lot of work to be done in the nets. He can be a formidable player in the future.

 

[Khan12]

Sarfaraz fans calling him rubbish, the irony.

 

[Pete Rose]

Looks out of sorts.

innings of two halves..first 25 runs at sr of 140, next 25 at SR of about 100

 

[IMMY69]

I like him

Not a very good one. Played a losing innings when the time came to step up, the amount of air shots is something you normally get with bowlers who can bat a bit. He is obviously quite powerful, but really struggled to take charge when Babar was approaching his century, if he'd been able to take some pressure off, Babar would probably have reached three figures.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Looked clueless while hitting.
He was playing jut like he was in ha tennis tournament. Giving everything on every ball with eyes close.

 

[King-Misbah]

He is not as bad as people make him out to be. Hes not pefect but can bat and has potential to improve! Give the boy some time! So unfair to judge players after a few performances. He actually did score runs.

 

[Mirpur express]

No doubt that 50 of 41 was a ridiculous innings but we need to give the guy time specially in odi’s as I feel he is more suited to that format at no3 but in t20 he needs to improve a lot

 

[Khan12]

After World cup our odi lineup should be;

Babar
imam
saud
saif badar
hussain talat
new wikcet keeper
shadab
amad butt
zafar gohar
shaheen
Hasan Ali

 

[wasimjunior]

Hussain is a very good batsman but not for T20s. Lacks power game but can be a super player for us. Needs to bat 4-5 in Odis

 

[Saj]

The frustrating thing is that his innings was building momentum, but then it just faded awy due to attempts at shots that were not required.
