A UAE player brought in by Pakistan management to play in WT20. Absolutely clueless. All the games he has played so far he has looked far from international material and looks an absolute, (yes you guess it), A Deer in front of Headlights. Specially against fast bowling. Not to mention he is the ugliest batter I have ever seen play.

He has mostly bashed minnow bowlers in domestic and in PSL. Which tells you a story of PSL standard and those road like low bounced pitches.

18 matches now. 16 Average. 124 Strike Rate.

Is there a worst batter that played for Pakistan after that many games? Does anyone even have a worse record than him after playing close to 20 games?

According to @Rana, he is the best white ball batsman in Pakistan. 0 cricket knowledge exposed again.

This guy is a complete hack. No wonder he ran away to the UAE. That is his level.

Best limited over batsmen in Pakistan 😂😂. He's an embarrassment to batting.
 
I think Pakistan has continuously selected him out of pity for making him leave the UAE. This guy would struggle to make any international side, including USA, Zim, UAE, Nepal, Namibia etc. All their batsmen have better technique and strokeplay than him.

I think Usman is for sure behind guys like Asif Ali. Though he is right up there, I don't think anyone can compete with @Rana 's blue-eyed boys Asif and Sharjeel

Hahahah. Nah, bro, he's a good poster. I wasn't a fan of him initially but I respect his views. Trolling aside, I respect your views too even if I disagree with some of them.

Why do people become better people when they change their pfp's to something more positive. 🤣🤣
 
Junaid Zia the son of Lt. General Tauqir Zia was absolutely the worst player who played for Pak. Dad was a general & the head of board and got his son in the team & said it's purely on merit.

If I am right, Junaid is still working with PCB so man is still leeching off of Pak cricket.

I will agree with you on one thing though.

Rizwan needs to retire from T20.

Seriously, it has become a joke at this point. He simply does not have the game for this format.

The thing you will not agree with me on os


“He never did have the game”.

Not yesterday, not ever.

There is no way Usman can continue to be selected after repeated failures, especially with his flawed batting technique. It seems, however, that the PCB made promises to him to give him at least 25 to 30 games after convincing him to leave the UAE and play for Pakistan. He is consistently late to the ball and lacks a proper method in his batting, resorting to blindly swinging his bat in T20 cricket.

NO.

He has hit hundreds in the PSL as an OPENER

Give him a chance as an opener and let's see what he does

I'm very confident, that he'll pile on the runs again in the PSL as an opener and everyone will say "why doesn't he do that in the international level?"

I think he is a very good player in ODI and Test. And probably the best keeper we have produced since Rashid and Moin. But that's okay. We can agree to disagree.
 
I have been following Pak Cricket since 2007 and properly following 2009 and onwards and imo one of the worst indeed if not the worst.

He can score many more centuries in Psl but he's clearly not international material. He looks like a tail ender while batting.
 
“But he is an opener” is the favorite excuse for any player who is not good enough. Opening will not transform him and make him look like a different player.

His technique is terrible. You can make him bat at any number and his terrible technique will make him a liability.

PSL is a poor league. It is a myth that it has high quality bowling. PSL performances don’t guarantee international success.

I agree that you have to reward domestic performers but once you see that a player has not got what it takes for international cricket, you need to move on quickly. Usman chapter should be closed after this series, just like the Sahibzada Farhan chapter has closed for good (hopefully).

I have always maintained the like of him Farhan, Tayyab will never succeed because they don't have the talent or the ability. They make iftikhar look very good in comparison to them. It's high time we bin such players for good.
 
The way he got out today left me wondering what exactly is the criteria that PCB uses to select players like him for national team?
 
He earned his place on merit.

He hasn't performed but deserved a chanc based on his domestic performances.

Hope he gets more chances in more friendly conditions.

We have seen Saim come good after backing. Now I know Saim is a much much better batsman but the point is that we need to give the lad more of a chance before discarding him.
 
Usman is an over-hyped batsman, like most of our players these days...

We are just not good enough any more, and do not have any solid batsmen / bowlers in the pipeline...

Usman is rubbish, does not deserve to play for Pakistan, looks absolutely clueless...

Even in the PSL he looks like a tailender, but he still scored centuries

To say he isn't international material after sabotaging him by playing him in the middle order is unfair

He will score more hundreds in the PSL because he gets to open

There is a world of difference in those Pakistani pitches and bowlers than international. He's clearly a rubbish batsmen and shouldn't be near the team. He will be even more exposed against the new ball and pace. He can't play pace.

If he's rubbish, then what does that make the others?

They play in the same league, but can't outperform him

The guy is quality and he deserves his chance as an opener

Not that again I thought you would have learnt you lesson about Salman, Farhan etc. the only quality he has is making no 11 look less ugly then him while batting. You can pick anyone from domestic and they won't struggle to produce the numbers which Usman has produced.

Farhan? 🤣🤣🤣

I don't rate that guy, probably confused me with someone else

Yes, Agha has disappointed, but you're still not understanding the lack of middle order batsmen leading to Agha being in the team

He can also bowl as well and Pak missed that extra bowling option today

Better than Tayyab
 
khyberlion said:
I agree Salman is better than Tayyab but it doesn't change the fact he's useless too and another who can't hit pace. As I said these guys make ifti etc look good. That's how poor these guys are.

Ifti is the worst

The guy can't even hit full tosses

Just shows the complete lack of middle order batsmen available

Ifti against pace is better than Salman, Tayyab
and Usman. No way I am calling for him. He's done and dusted and we gave him too many chances. But if we gave him as many chances as Usman at 4 he would have done far better.

That guy missed full tosses against the USA, THE USA.

Ifthikhar is the absolute worst
 
He’s a better batsman, far better keeper and fitter than Kamran Akmal in every format. So definitely not the worst.

‘But kami played some amazing innings like the Karachi fluke’.

I guarantee you give him 300 international games uninterrupted with no competition, he will play far better ones. Even Shan Masood has made some epic centuries.

Whether he should be in the team is a different question.

Missing full toss doesn't mean you are the worst. None of these guys can hit anything above 125kph. Ifti was bad these guys are worse. He still produced better stats these players.
 
The most crap T20 players to represent Pakistan:

1. Muhammad Rizwan
2. Imam ul Haq
3. Salman Ali Agha
4. Babar Azam
5. Shan Masood
6. Abdullah Shafique
7. Ahmed Shahzad
8. Rafatullah Mohmand
9. Sami Aslam
10. Fawad Alam


Absolute garbage white ball players playing the shortest format and representing Pakistan
 
To call him a batsman is an insult to batting. He is not a batsman he is a gulli danda player.
He plays the ugliest shots and a tailender.

He can't play pace bowling at all and not that good against spin bowling as well.

He has gotten way too many chances for such a terrible player. He should be banned from pakistan national team.

Better yet he should be kicked out to UAE

2 weeks ago, when I asked you had Babar Azam in your T20 team. Today, you’re saying he is a garbage player.
 
Usman is not the worst, but he certainly a top-3 for me.

He is even worse than tail-enders and Ramiz mentioned it right. People defending him must have been watching PSL performances on loop I THINK

Kamran has played knocks in his career that Usman will not be able to replicate in a million years.

There is absolutely no chance of Usman batting almost the entire day on a day 5 Indian pitch vs Kumble and Harbhajan to save a Test, nor can he score a century from 39/6 in swinging conditions.

You are right about all of them. They don’t belong in international cricket, but this is the gift that Aqib has given Pakistan cricket and I think he is going to persist with them because he is an egomaniac and he will refuse to accept that he got it wrong.

He will keep picking these players along with his favorites from LQ brainless Harris will be displaying his skills for even longer.
 
A player suited to T20 cricket and not performing at international standard isn’t the worst type to represent.


A player who has no business in the T20 format leeching on and proving they have no business is the most vile, pathetic, cursed, shameless, illogical, illegitimate type to represent your country!!!!!

It was always evident he will never succeed at international level because he has too many flaws to succeed. Now he's been given many opportunities and is looking worse with each outing, it's time to say good bye to him.

I tried to find any worst player played for Pakistan but couldn't . Agree , it tells you the low standard of PSL , where this guy was a start . Any player without much experience of FC cricket will be a failure at international level.
 
Some fans don't understand T20 cricket. They think it's a shortened format of ODIs.
 
Usman is the worst or maybe take your pick from the 3

Awais Zia, Usman Khan, Riffatullah Mehmand

Most people here actually don't

they only understand the runs scored section and hype the average just like you would do in tests where strike rates don't matter

They have no clue about strike rates or powerplays. Ask them how many fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle during a powerplay, and they’ll be stumped.

They also don’t understand the importance of momentum in t20 or how a batsman who isn’t scoring can put pressure on his batting partner as every ball is important in t0's

Some even think conditions and pitches in Pakistan are the exact same as in Australia or South Africa and expect players perform like domestic in foreign conditions

They just don't realise playing in these conditions for new batsmen will only help them gain experience for future tours and they will only get better from here.
 
Three things are important for any batsmen to succeed at international level

1. Talent 2. Temperament 3. Technique

Usman might have the talent but the other portions are very less.

Yes it does and that too against medium pacers of the mighty USA

He embarrassed Pak cricket infront of the whole world against USA

Don't want to hear that guys name ever again
