What a six from Shadab to Jordan. Mind you Jordan was the best bowler in Eng vs SA series from both sides

Why the hate for Shadab so far he has got the results every time he batted in top order. Excuses like drops happen to everyone especially on T20s..
Shadab has I.peived his batting a lot and was always a good bowler as he proved in world cup.

Shadab has improved immensely. haters gonna hate

He played international cricket for Aus and has A pretty good record in Aus domestic cricket as well so he was never a bad player but mis treated by Aus and underutilized by NZ

How was he underutilized by NZ when he was a mainstay of the team from 2013 to 2017?

Imad can hit huge sixes. I went to Pakistan matches in WC and he was one of the few players who could sent the ball into crowd.

No, only against loose balls that are in the slot. He can't hit anything else and dud against the short ball.
 
Jordan was the best bowler in recent SA vs Eng T20 series if anybody has any doubt about Shadab’s batting today
 
What happened to Jordan? He bowls lethal yorkers in international cricket and here's just bowling pathetically.

Batted way to down for his game as he opened mostly in domestic cricket. He likes pace on the bowl as you can see, at no 7 ball is older and doesnt come onto the bat as quickly
 
Game is at Pindi, so KK are not yet out of the contest, but Imad Wasim should resign from captaincy - he doesn’t have it.

He used to open when he came in but failed 9 out of 10 times and was removed from opening then.

NZ had Bmac and Guptill so Ronchi was never gonna get a lot of opportunities
 
Umaid might make me sound fool, but is it really that Imad kept him for last over????
 
Umaid Asif needs to be dropped for the next game for Rizwan and bring in Ali Khan for Walton.

He is just looking at stats.For him Imad will be better batsman than jayasuria and yuvraj.
 
Amirs form is worrying. With the t20 world Cup coming up we will need an in form Amir on those Australian pitches. His lack of test cricket reflecting on his skills.

KK made him captain over Babar like he was next coming of Clive Lloyd. Imad did well in national T20 cup as captain but definitely isnt someone for which you ignore the national captain in my opinion
 
What a finish from Shadab. 54 off 31 and his second PSL 50 in PSL 5

Don’t be fooled by PSL and these small boundaries loll
 
Wasim Akram's face is me when some eats the leftover pasta i hid in the back of the refrigerator. :)))
 
Shadab and Ronchi scoring runs. Huge question mark over the bowling standard of PSL.

Three spinners in D/N game is over kill; this is not UAE.

You ask me, I would have dropped Imad & played the two young spinners. But, this is becoming too common in PAK cricket - at every level, Captain is making XI first as Captain .... and then proving himself to be a dud in the job.

Imad is Genuine t20 all-rounder .in odis he is a hit or miss.
But Shadab Is For all formats.He Scored 50 against SA In SA against bouncy attack
 
Brilliant from Shadab. And he has been brilliant with the bat this tournament . . anyone who doesn't admit that clearly has made up his mind on Shadab and therefore has lost all objectivity . .

Shadab's bowling remains a massive concern, but don't let it cloud your view on his batting . . he has been a decent bat and clearly seems to have improved as well!
 
Shadab has put forward his best batting performance ever....

hits to Jordan who is great for Eng at death overs was brilliant

He's not fooling me. I have seen him bat in test matches, often times better than our main batsmen . . I am also not going to let my reservations about him being in a severe decline as a bowler cloud my judgement over his ability with the bat . .

He did get dropped in the last game, but then that's part of the game . . He was brilliant today and has been very good in the last 3 innings . . his hitting has improved as well . . no harm in accepting that!

Think he batted one-down or in the middle order during his u19 days as well. I don't think he is international level batsman, but atleast could have been tried in the middle order to see what he is about.

Why getting upset - his job is to bowl 4 overs first, not to bat at 4. My first question will be - why he even came to bat that early, when his primary job is to bowl 4 overs. Shadab is batting outstandingly in top order here - have you ever seen me to praise, even mention that? Have you seen KKs top 4 - and then, what’s the purpose of Imad in that team?

I didn’t know that he smokes - but, I should have known that from him movements in field. (if he really does smoke, should immediately be banned till he quits - smoking tobacco for sportsman is like snorting heroine for common people).

Irrespective of his score the way he has played Jordan and Amir who are both international level bowlers shows he has skills.

Shadab has improved.

But you can't rely on him to hit at will in international cricket. Has a limited range of shots but not bad for our standards.

Can be more useful when no pressure to score fast.
 
I really want to see Babar get KK over the line today. It will be a great boost for his confidence and for Pakistan going into the WT20.
 
That was ABD level stuff with bat and now in the field as well :murali
 
should have dive. very lazy running. yesterday I saw shan save his wicket with a full stretch dive otherwise he would have beem out evem with a normal dive. poor from Baber

his batting has.. but its his bowling i am worried about... needs a lot of work... he could could could be a "Stokes" for us if he improves his bowling
 
Please tell me whose fault was this run out... it better not be that fat pehlwan Sharjeel... should have been banned indefinitely.
 
Let your hate eclipse your judgement of Shadab Khan . . but Pakistan has never seen a better fielder . . and his batting is decent and improving . .

Be objective . . talk about his bowling . . where he is going wrong . . but don't let your biases cloud your judgement over things that he does well and where he does bring value!
 
This guy will trouble batsmen with new ball even in his 50s - I am watching today to see the guy again.

Babar R/O ..... he was my fantasy Captain. I thought on this Pindi track & outfield he might get his first 100 and today he was batting under dew with a sizeable target😆
