Is Sarfaraz Ahmed doing enough to keep his place in Test side?

That’s enough for him to stay in the team and lead it too . If you have good connections and some “legends” and chief selector supporting you for non-cricketing reasons . As long as as Imam keeps playing in the team Sarfraz will also stay, looks like that’s the understanding.

 

[We Bleed Green]

If there was anything called merit in PCB then he will be kicked out from the team

I feel he needs to be removed as captain in either Tests or ODI's. Captaining AND wicket-keeping in all 3 formats must be exhausting both mentally and physically

 

[AAli98]

He hasn’t scored a run for 3 odd years literaly comes in & is back in the pavillion after 10 delivery. So his only job is captaining, his bowling changes are getting worse by the game & keeping is decent.

Wicket-keeping and captaining is too much of a burden

 

[Abdullah719]

Showing zero spine with the bat honestly. Not acceptable.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Captain fantastic - Sarfraz

Leading from front in this match. Fully justified in being retained for series after the loss to new zealand. Well done mickey snd inzi for backing the specalist captain.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Embarrassing how far he has fallen

 

[angrypathan]

Goodbye Sarfraz.

 

[Rayyman]

Showing zero spine with the bat honestly. Not acceptable.

What's his record like with the bat recently?

 

[aukhan]

Pathetic player. Cant believe im saying this even Afridi was better than him.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pathetic batting.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Clearly not.

The axe is waiting to fall

 

[Amjid Javed]

He wont get dropped the runs against weak australia will mean hes retained in the side.

 

[Asif321]

Needs to take Lala advice
quit test cricket and play odis and t20

 

[JibranAnsari]

Just keeps on giving.

 

[hadi123]

He knows himself he is doing bad. Something has to give, if they're not gonna drop him, at least relinquish him of his captaincy, but then who would captain in his place

 

[Abdullah719]

That trigger movement

Who cares. It's not like Sarfraz is a good captain.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Averages 28 in the last 2 years.

Definitely needs to be kicked out. His performance as test captain isnt good either.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Am sure 2 more failures in next test and he will resign knowing its better to do that then be sacked and possibly lose his ODI place as well.

Pathetic captain who shouldnt even be in side as a player.

That trigger movement

Pakistani batsmen and squatting... how we learned this stupid technique is beyond me.

 

[aukhan]

Wow what a tail we have.

Omg, what's he doing on the pitch? Can't stop laughing

What an eye paining approach!
How can he play that way in SA and expect to score?

 

[aukhan]

Even galli cricketers have better techniques than him.

 

[cricket_cfa]

He is low on confidence
He is not scoring any runs
He expects to get out cheaply
2 ways to go from here
Go out of team or
Fight out in the middle get hit and hang in for life

 

[aukhan]

May be he is doing free promotion for SRK's movie. Two zeros in two innings.

 

[Markhor]

Our tail starts at 7 with Sarfraz.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Our tail starts at 7 with Sarfraz.

If Asad and Babar swap places then it would start at 6.

Yes, that's how bad it is.

 

[Mamoon]

How does he have fans is beyond me. A walking embarrassment in every facet.

 

[Ab Fan]

Not sure, if he is a specialist in anything. And you can't even drop a captain mid-way the series as there isn't any option.

 

[Markhor]

How does he have fans is beyond me. A walking embarrassment in every facet.

I predict Sarfraz will announce his retirement from Test cricket after this series.

Our players usually have to do the selectors job for them (see Hafeez in Tests/Azhar in ODIs).

 

[abhay]

I suppose so considering he is a specialist captain and can retain his place in the team because of his captainship alone

 

[Mamoon]

He might resign as captain, but retirement is out of question.

According to most experts our cupboard is bare.. nobody to replace Sarfaraz.


He isnt going anywhere! And you dont want to go back to the Akmals!!

Yes.. nobody to replace duck scorer.

How long will Sarfraz fans keep using Akmals names to defend his pathetic performances? They have not been part of team for years and we have given all the freedome Sarfraz needed but in return he gives us these golden ducks and yelling as captain specialist. Pak cricket is in critical phase if our system cannot get rid of such low class players becoming captain of national team in all formats.

 

[ILcricket]

Sarfaraz should only be in a Test 11 if he is the best keeper by some distance .

 

[AAli98]

The only reason why pak management are persistent with him is in the hope he might ‘fluke’ the world cup.. let me tell them u don’t fluke world cups like sunday leagues or CT you have to be the best side& the best pak side does not include this waste of space.
