In the era of franchise cricket , most of our players are trying to be in utility category , ½ Partridge ½ QuailThat is the main reason why Pakistan bowlers fizzle out early.
I don't get Shafique, in SA and NZ he looked like a deer caught in headlights and here he is playing so beautifully. Which one will show up if Pakistan select him as one down for their T20 World Cup team?So now Shafique making strong case for number 3
He looks very good here
Surely Babar needs to bat at 3 to give him competition because we know he ain’t doing Jack for Pakistan as an opener.
He’s not an opener clearlyI don't get Shafique, in SA and NZ he looked like a deer caught in headlights and here he is playing so beautifully. Which one will show up if Pakistan select him as one down for their T20 World Cup team?
In SA, NZ, Aus, Eng all of them look like that but once they're in their backyard they are the next coming of Viv Richards.I don't get Shafique, in SA and NZ he looked like a deer caught in headlights and here he is playing so beautifully.

Management sucks in Pakistan Cricket.At the PSL level, Abdullah has the confidence to play aggressively and go after his shot.
At the international level, we see a much more timid approach because his selection has been so up & down. A couple of bad games at PSL still means Lahore will back him in their selection. That's the type of confidence PCB management needs to in-still in him at the international level.

But who opens? Everything will turn into crap if you open with Babar and RizwanHe looks like a new batter
maybe a bit of an unpopular opinion, but Saud is also looking like a contender for #3 or #4 for Pak as well ....

You weren’t this concerned about the balance when Pak youngsters were getting murdered in New Zealand were you?Balance between bat and ball is violated
Standard NZ conditionsConditions in NZ were pretty tough. I have never seen NZ wickets with this much pace, bounce, sideways movement before
in this form Shafique deserves to be in the Paskistan team but I am just afraid about his recent international performancesHe looks like a new batter
maybe a bit of an unpopular opinion, but Saud is also looking like a contender for #3 or #4 for Pak as well ....
quality of the tournament isn't that great even the likes of azam khan, usman khan, babar and rizwan looked like world beaters when they play international vs real bowlers they are like timid kittensI don't get Shafique, in SA and NZ he looked like a deer caught in headlights and here he is playing so beautifully.

They'll get 180.240 pitch
Well Saim proved otherwise.In SA, NZ, Aus, Eng all of them look like that but once they're in their backyard they are the next coming of Viv Richards.

Sunrisers will score 300 hereThey'll get 180.
He needs to drop down to middle order will be a massive upgrade over rubbish like Tayyab. Abdullah clearly doesn't know where his off stump is. Will make a decent no 4.Abdullah Shafique has looked like the only Pakistani batsman who can bat at an above par strike rate.
Early days but only he's been matching the foreign batsmen.
Perhaps this will be his best format since his strike rotation and issues playing movement can be hidden.
They would've been on 150 now just like stick cricket.Sunrisers will score 300 here
The answer is simple. NZ and SA pitches are far more difficult to play and he quality of bowling is better than pslquality of the tournament isn't that great even the likes of azam khan, usman khan, babar and rizwan looked like world beaters when they play international vs real bowlers they are like timid kittens
Abdullah shafique is playing proper cricketing shots. Can't understand Why he failed in national team
Mental midget.Well Saim proved otherwise.
Standard NZ conditions
Has there been any testing to confirm if Tariq bowling action is even legal? If so, I think he genuinely merits a consideration for T20 selection. Nobody has been able to pick him and his line/length consistency is quite good.
You weren’t this concerned about the balance when Pak youngsters were getting murdered in New Zealand were you?
Didn’t stop NZ from scoring 200+ easilyNZ conditions in the past didn't have this much pace, bounce before. Like I have seen highlights of our tours in the 90s and you don't see our batters being rushed for pace, bounce. It was almost like touring England and the reason why our team found it easy to tour New Zealand in comparison to Australia
Wow Abdullah is playing at much better SR than Fakhar
But what about SA?Conditions in NZ were pretty tough. I have never seen NZ wickets with this much pace, bounce, sideways movement before
I think they tested him for the pauseHe was suspect, but cleared after tests last year

Gladiators' spinner Usman Tariq cleared to bowl in PSL Season Nine matches
KARACHI, Mar 13 (APP): Quetta Gladiators' spinner, Usman Tariq, has been given the green light to participate in the upcoming matches of the Pakistan Superwww.app.com.pk
Yes. He was cleared.Has there been any testing to confirm if Tariq bowling action is even legal? If so, I think he genuinely merits a consideration for T20 selection. Nobody has been able to pick him and his line/length consistency is quite good.
Can anyone tell me why pakistan batters can't start like this in national team.why are their minds blocked
They lack talent and mentality for modern cricket.Can anyone tell me why pakistan batters can't start like this in national team.why are their minds blocked
Didn’t stop NZ from scoring 200+ easily
Can anyone tell me why pakistan batters can't start like this in national team.why are their minds blocked
big wicket for quetta.That's an incredibly soft dismissal by Abdullah there. Shame because he was going so well tonight.
But what about SA?
Is he s good spin hitter? If he is, then he can move downHe needs to drop down to middle order will be a massive upgrade over rubbish like Tayyab. Abdullah clearly doesn't know where his off stump is. Will make a decent no 4.
We all know this bro. Don't know why you saying this. They have the most explosive batting line up. It is unfortunate they haven't fired like thatThey would've been on 150 now just like stick cricket.
But they did fire yesterday. Unbelievable stuff from abhishek last nightWe all know this bro. Don't know why you saying this. They have the most explosive batting line up. It is unfortunate they haven't fired like that
Usman Khan was the top scorer in the PSL last year, and the year before that, Azam Khan had a solid run — but international cricket is a whole different ball gameThe answer is simple. NZ and SA pitches are far more difficult to play and he quality of bowling is better than psl
NZ conditions in the past didn't have this much pace, bounce before. Like I have seen highlights of our tours in the 90s and you don't see our batters being rushed for pace, bounce.

Plays spin better than pace. Irrespective as bad as he has been he far better than Tayyab tahir who genuinely looks like a club level player.Is he s good spin hitter? If he is, then he can move down
You're mistaking it your friend above is saying so.We all know this bro. Don't know why you saying this. They have the most explosive batting line up. It is unfortunate they haven't fired like that
Way better than KarachiCrowd looks to be improving but still far away from a full house.
Rilee Rossouw, buff or fat?
Rana will chase these runs bro.Khurram Shehzad should've been playing instead of Faheem today.
Any day and everyday......Khurram Shehzad should've been playing instead of Faheem today.
