"I'm a more mature batsman these days" : Shahzaib Hasan

[proud_pakistani]

Totally agree with the last part. If you look at the 4th odi, even though we were chasing a huge total we were in with a chance till the 25th over only because of the blistering innings played by sharjeel. Imagine if the top three were sharjeel, shahzaib, and babar in that game. Potentially could have gone at 8 an over keeping us in the game longer

Definitely we need to understand we no longer have hitters like Razzaq or Afridi down the order to propel our score so we need to compensate that by adding some hitters at the top. Also, I do think in today's cricket it's easier to hit when the ball is newer.

Actually at No. 6 the problem is whoever we've tried has failed against pace. I don't see other options. Latif could be tried at 6 perhaps. I'm sure he'll beast spin, not sure how he'll deal with pace.

It's a risky and not so good option. We lose his use in the top order if we shuffle too much.

Reason is this:

For a team that refuses to bat at 5 to 6 an over in most of its odis, the logical answer is not to look for a late hitter it is to look for a top order batsman to ensure you go hard up front. All of these cute ideas of messing around with the position of a new batsman to a high risk postion will destroy the player.

I still think pcb wasted Hammad Azam. He could've been handy with the bat down thr order. But they wanted stability and mature allrounders who are not always looking to hit.

) hopefully shahzaib does well in the psl, and opens alongside sharjeel in the odis vs west indies....

Not really into putting someone down but... We played against Shazaib in a T20 game a few weeks ago and I was not impressed by his character. He scored 80 odd but his team lost, as a result he did not even shake our hands and displayed real attitude. He was playing in a Essex Foundation League T20 competition.

Purely speaking in cricketing terms, he was a lot better batsman that most of the duds we tried out in international cricket from 2009 to present.

I can't believe he was dropped unfairly after performing very decently in his last ODI match for Pakistan.
