Imad Wasim - Batting and bowling performance watch

Hawkeye said:
That is because his gameplay is very limited, just like Anwar Ali.

People will be calling for his head too after 1-2 years.

Wipes the floor with "explosive" Akmal... at least he tries his best and has actual hitting ability rather than just heave to Akmal corner.

Akmal corner.. hahaha..

Honestly not a big fan of him. He is not better than Shadab as an all rounder.. Shadab is a better bowler and probably equally decent batsman.
 
Not needed, the guy is a joke of a cricketer.

He cant bat nor can he bowl

The purpose of him is to play the finishing role, and if he cant do that then wahts the purpose.

Another run chase lost, if he cant take us home, there is no point. 25 neeeded in last over and we know its a lost cause.

Atleast asif ali can stirke it.

This guy didnt even rotate strike properly

Extremely limited range of shots.

Just another Anwar Ali.

Will always, always makes you lose matches when chasing a decent target, and won't help set good targets either.

He's meant to provide us momentum and hit at number 5/6/7 or even 8.

He cannot do that.

Just another in the long list of accumulators.
 
Least of Pakistan's problem. 100 times better than anyone from the Akmal Khandan.

An accumulator who strikes at a rate of 147 is world class.

I can’t think of anyone who has finished a match for Pakistan when 60 is needed from 30 balls maybe apart from Razzaq In Abu Dhabi.

He’s limited but at least he is consistent and his record speaks for it self

He has a career strike rate of 103 as compared to "explosive" Akmal's 85. If he is an accumulator then what is Akmal?
 
Is comfortably the best allrounder in pakistan and can easily play at no 6 for pakistan. Infact should play at no 6 and not lower.

1. Fakhar zaman
2. Babar azam
3. Haris sohail
4. Sarfraz ahmed
5. Mohammad hafeez
6. Imad wasim
7. Asif ali
8. Shadab khan
9. Hassan ali
10. Shaheen shah afridi
11. Usman khan shinwari/ mohammad amir

This is the best combination I can make after watching this aus series.

I know a lot of you are thinking of playing babar at 3 and haris at 4, but that doesnt make any sense to me.

Reasons for that are:

1) you cant afford having 2 players at no 3 and no 4 who arent able to change gears. Yes both are your best players and both must also play, but then you have also to look at the combination you are making.

2) babar azam and haris sohail are 2 different caracters. Babar azam is a player who is able to bat through the innings, but that isnt his natural game.

Babar likes to play his shots and be that dominating caracter while haris likes to stay a bit on the back foot and build his innings in a proper way without taking too many risks.

I just feel that haris sohail is the perfect caracter to play the no 3 role. Yes babar azam has done a great job at that position in the past, but that doesnt mean that you should stop thinking how you can get the best out of your players.

The fact is that we need a opener who can make use of the powerplay and no one better than babar azam who has proved himself in t20 allready.
 
In England, we should not play two spinners. So out of the final 11, it's Shadab or Imad. Faheem will be in the 11 instead of one of Imad or Shadab.
 
Among tons pf so called "allrounders" , only genuine allrounder in Pakistan team.
 
Imad's consistency is epic. The most difficult job in ODI's is batting between 40-50 as its a high risk game yet he manages to perform almost every time.

IF only we had more batsmen like these let alone allrounders.
 
His batting seems to be more effective than some of our so-called proper batsmen.
 
should bat at number six in the England series as a try out, an average of 45+ with 100+ s/r deserves the vote of confidence. he wont do any worse than others pak have tried.
 
Imads one of the handful in the team that make it on merit
With his ability n attitude Hes a must for the team
 
Ridiculous criticism of Imad.

A good containment bowler, and a very handy low-order hitter. How can he be blamed for not taking the team over the line when the more established bastmen fail?

Imad’s main role is as a bowler who can bat.

Can Imad take a 5/40 against a quality batting line up. Dont think so.

Can Imad score a match winning 50. Dont think so. He will always thrive when his runs really dont count. I wont get fooled by his batting average.

Umer Khan over Imad for me any day of the week.
 
His finishing skills are improving it seems, but his bowling is pretty ineffective in ODIs and will be even more useless on Flat tracks in England.
 
Been really impressive. If we can get another finisher alongside him, we should be good.
 
his batting has come a long way - would love to see him a little higher up the order in England. Maybe #6

his bowling remains a concern though. With Shadab as the primary spinner, and with some combination of Hafeez, Malik and Sohail in the team - I don't know if we need another spinner on English pitches.
 
Where are the clowns who were bashing Imad? As I have said before, he is the only fearless players in the team. He doesn’t get bogged down by pressure and always puts up a fight. A class act!

The best player in the team by a mile.

Shocking how many of the posters here cannot get this. Lack of understanding of the role that he plays or the game itself maybe.

He's an accumulator and will always lose you matches with his batting, where he cannot take bowling attacks apart and struggles to up the ante.

As a middle/late order finisher he's one of the worst.

Cosmetic stats don't prove anything, not sure why people are throwing them around. Not relevant for his role, he lacks the gameplay and ability. A blind swing of the bat will not yield you the runs required from him.
 
No I am not convinced by Imad as a finisher. Can't remember when, if ever in the last 2 years, he won Pakistan a game with his batting.

But then who in Pakistan team is a finisher. So he makes it as a late order hitter who can get Pakistan extra runs in the last 10.

I am more of a fan of his bowling - when he finds the right line.

Imad obviously isn't a strike bowler, he is a containment bowler- and usually does that job well.

His 50 would have been match-winning if the other batsman weren't so brainless. He is the best finisher we have right now so he should be persisted with.
 
Absolute gun player, makes this team on batting alone.

This is the first time in a while we've had a proper all rounder.

We need more accumulators like him who can bat at a strike rate of 150-160.

He's a future captain and should bat higher.
 
The only sane and brave player in the team. Hopefully, he will captain Pakistan after the WC.
 
Criticism is insane. As if people think we've Razzaq, Azhar, Afridi waiting in domestic
 
He's been in superb batting form of late.

He could be the difference between decent scores and very good ones for Pakistan at the World Cup.
 
I wouldn’t get too hyped over this performance as the ground is small and the opposition is far inferior to the teams we will be playing in the World Cup.’I would hope his ‘good form’ continues and he actually fires on the world stage

Why couldn't anyone else get a 100 then?
 
Imad Wasim might turn out to be the solution to Asif Ali and Umar Akmal problem. These two might as well say goodbye if Imad keeps it up.

More likely the difference between a below par score and a par score
 
Good cameo. I think he does his job with bat and ball. Needs to work on playing the short ball
