"Mine is a Simple Approach to Batting" : Haris Sohail

Stop talking about Fawad. This thread is about Haris and how we are gonna get him into the team.

Umar has got every shot in the book. But his shot selection is no better than afridi. Shehzad keeps shuffling in the crease which doesn't look good.

Gul's injuries means he is finished and Anwar is mediocre is a bowler. Wouldn't mind Fakhar though. But this isn't the thread for that.
 
Umar Akmal, Fawad Alam, Sohaib Maqsood and Haris Sohail
I've been saying this pretty much since I joined pakpassion.
these 4 are the future of paks middle order.
 
Haris' treatment so far has been terrible.

Not given a decent run of matches, then dropped, then declared unfit, then totally forgotten.
 
Been telling you for 4 years what quality Haris is.

On par with Akmal and this forum knows how much I support Akmal.

Akmal > Haris > Shehzad > Jamshed > Maqsood

And I'm a huge Maqsood fan :)

PAK r blessed.

Just congratulated him.

He's a must for PAK side at 3.

Shehzad, Jamshed, Haris, Fawad, Maqsood & Akmal - when will they realize this is our perfect top 6?

Add in Sami Aslam, Babar Azam you know we got some quality batsman coming up. Back up options like Sharjeel, Shan Masood, Azhar Ali & Shafiq too. Hammad Azam would play at 7.

Hey Saj, can PP do anything to escalate this issue of Haris?
 
BD I have no idea why you keep backing garbage like Shehzad and Jamshed. Their flaws are so easy to expose.
 
Highest Bat Average in T20 cricket | Haris Sohail Highest In World Cricket

"Highest bat avg in T20 cricket (min: 500runs) :

Chris Harris 70.66
Haris Sohail 48.68
Ross McMillan 46.07
J van Wyk 46.07
Philip Hughes 44.16"


Haris is actually first in current world cricket as Chris Harris is retired. Chris also played most of his t20 cricket in Zim vs weak attacks.

Cannot believe we are leaving such a world class natural batsman out of the team.

We've done some interviews with him.

I might try and catch up with him again. But remember some of our selectors hardly know any of these youngsters.

Not garbage at all.

They are widely rated by all pundits across the world. Ian Chappel rates Jamshed. Gavaskar, Bhogle rate Shehzad.

Your opinion is influenced by some haters on PP.
 
BD he is an amazing bat for Test and ODI and i will always support him to be party of ODI and Test 11 but not for T20. His T20 average is boosted because of remaining not out in 12 out of 28 innings and his strike rate is not good even at domestic level 108 strike rate is nothing in t20

I don't know about openers to be fair.
Shehzads, Jamsheds and Sharjeels have all looked mediocre and/or [sometimes] decent.
I've never seen Sami or Babar properly opening but I hope they can do well. Honestly think the above is quite a strong line up and has the potential to be among the best pak batting line ups in since inzi/yk/moyo time.

Hmm I'm wondering can't you get some time with Moin and ask him why Haris has been constantly ignored? I'm sure Misbah wouldn't even remember Haris.

You guys should try tweeting or FB post with few stats and facts mentioned. That will imo catch Sethi and Sheriyar's attention. Try possibly contacting PCB because this guy is very deserving and no one wants pcb to behave with him like what it did with Fawad. This guy has all the qualities from being a fighter to being consistent and cool headed.

I totally agree and support what Hamzakhalid said Saj. can you give it a try?
 
Wow, seems like he played really well today!

This guy is a MUST in our squads for all 3 formats, though there's no space for him in the Test and ODI XIs yet, at least until Misbah retires. Should definitely be in the T20 XI ASAP.
 
I'm still hopeful of Jamshed. But the way he has slumped shows he is mentally not strong to come out of it. Since being dropped his last 25 innings or so including Pakistan domestic, cool and champions trophy have yielded only 2 fifties. That's shocking .
 
Ahson Afzal said:
Agree that he should be playing all three formats. Give him a proper run.

Tests: Fawad, Shehzad, Haris, YK, Misbah, Shafiq, Sarfraz, Yasir, Zulfiqar, Wahab, Junaid.

ODIs: Shehzad, Hafeez, Haris, Fawad, Misbah, UA, Maqsood, Hammad/Bhatti ,Wahab, Irfan, Raza Hasan.

T20s: Babar Azam, Shehzad, Hafeez, Haris, Maqsood, UA, Afridi, Tanvir, Wahab, Raza, Junaid

Maqsood at #7 in ODIs is criminal. He just showed against SL that he's a batsman that should play at #1-4. To accomodate a youngster, we shouldn't mistreat another youngster.

My top 7 after the WC:

Shehzad
Amin
Fawad
Maqsood
Hafeez
Umar Akmal
Hammad

Back-ups: Haris, Sarfraz

As I said earlier, there's no room for Haris at the moment. Hafeez can open to make room, but Hafeez opening will be a disaster, especially outside the SC.

I agree that Maqsood Gould be batting higher but he needs to bat at 7 till WC atleast.
 
I don't see Umar Akmal doing well For ODIs in Future:
Sarfraz
Shehzad/Fakhar
Haris
Hafeez
Sohaib
Fawad
Hammad
Bhatti
Wahab
Junaid
Irfan

Ideally we should play this or replace Hammad with Akmal if he performs.

Haris should not be the backup. He must be in the team. Hafeez can open. Until worldcup since Misbah is going nowhere if he performs but we are taking Misbah as specialist captain who is no good with even that job. It will be good for our worldcup chances if we drop Misbah before if this form of his continues.

sort of agree. However the only thing Amin can ever do in Pak intl colours is open. If Shehzad somehow becomes successful then amin can't be there. Plus it should be a left/right hand opening combo therefore I'd switch the two umars around. Other than that, yeah pretty much- seems a top class team.
 
All year mamoon on about Amin as opener, then puts him at 3 in his team #mamoonlogic.

Umar Akmal should NOT open, especially not until he has played test cricket.

Im Umar biggest fan, and I know his strengths. He should play 5 or 6.

Plays the moving ball better than Shehzad and Hafeez, both of whom are clueless against the new ball.

Mamoons thinking in having Umar open is solid, you need someone who can take advantage of the early PP overs. Umar can't construct an innings and doesn't have the brains or mental strength to be a good finisher, so having him go out and play his natural game up front won't be as bad of an idea as some would think.

And everyone is better than Hafeez at playing the moving ball.Not much to brag about there.

Umar isn't great, however Shehzad and Hafeez are absolutely clueless against a bit of swing.

Reckon would be a better opener than a number 4, where he has shown little to no inclination of digging in and constructing an innings.

Swing doesn't play much of a factor in LO's these days, there's the odd game where there's something for the bowlers for the first few overs, but after that, it's usually all back to containing.
 
Fact is pakistan doesnt have great batting resources and a few gems we do unearth are wasted like this. Looks like he is in perfect position to play in the team but he will have to score a hundred and a 50 like fawad to stay in the team. :facepalm: :facepalm: Every youngster we have has to go through this ridiculous "baptism of fire".

Should be given a chance and a decent run IN THE FORMAT THAT SUITS HIM. FC!!!!!
 
Still lacking match fitness and form, his movement is sluggish from his usual self.

But the amount of talent and potential, the time he has to play the ball is incredible. He needs to be injected to the team asap.
 
Why are they all so fat: shahzaib khan, Harris, sharjeel, Nasir

The top 3 is not rigid. Its flexible and 3 of them could play anywhere across the top 3 and that is a very good option to have. As long as Amin plays across the top 3, he'd do fine.

You could open with Umar Akmal or Amin as well as Amin and Babar along with Umar Akmal and Babar. All things considering, this top 3 seems to the best bet for the future. You can throw in Sami Aslam as well but from what I've seen so far, he is not dynamic enough and his strike rate is quite low. Loves to score but at what cost? seems like a superior version of Shehzad.

As far as Shehzad's improvement is concerned, I doubt. He seems super content with his 'see off the new ball' methods which don't work in today's era. He bats at 65-70 for the chunk of his innings and manages to take it up to 80 odd after facing 100+ deliveries which is not great and hampers the team's momentum. He will be the new Misbah after Misbah.

Not necessarily open, he can bat anywhere in the top 3 and he himself prefers that. Having watched Umar for half a decade, I believe he is not suited to the middle order. Either make him bat in the top 3 or at number 6. In other words, he should be in the first 10 overs or in the last 15, this where he is at his best.

When he comes to bat in the middle overs, he is very confused and doesn't know what to do.

So are Indian openers, but they cash in on flat subcontinental wickets like no else which we don't seem to do so with our current openers who take 80 deliveries to score 50 runs.

Arsal_AK said:

Yep, truly brilliant.

Junaid is not good enough and with Amir's return, he will have no role to play. Amir would be the leader of the attack with his new ball swing as well while Wahab would be the strike bowler - bowling in short spells throughout the innings.

Ehsan Adil seems to be the perfect third seamer for us, who really keeps things tight, doesn't spray the ball around and can swing and seam the ball as well. Has a good cricketing brain.

All three (Wahab, Ehsan and Amir) are decent with the bat; you can expect them to add 30-40 runs to the total collectively on average and once in a while, they can individually score 25-30 runs as well. This lineup has just one genuine tailender in Raza Hasan.

So basically, this team bats deeper than most teams in the world and that is what wins you ODIs. What have we achieved with so-called great bowlers like Junaid and Ajmal? what are our achievements in ODIs other than a couple of 3 match series wins in India and SA? Look at our record in the UAE, utterly disgraceful and the wickets are very flat there and teams bat us out of the games while we achieve nothing blowing the trumpet of our so called great bowlers.

With this team, you can really say with confidence that at least they won't be embarrassed in 'home' ODIs and the success of every teams starts by making its home a fortress. Currently, we have no identity at home and teams don't fear us when they tour the UAE. What's the point of winning 3 match series in India and SA when you can't beat SA and England at home? in fact get humiliated not just beat?

Inconsistent and poor results at home is minnow behavior and our recent record in UAE/Pakistan is shambolic, in spite of self-boasting the best attack in the world, which belongs in the garbage if these are the results that it yields.

This is an A grade ODI lineup for UAE, Sri Lanka, India etc as well as most of the flat pitches around the world. Its okay if it fails under a black cloud over a green top, because there is no possible XI in the country that will not so it is a moot point.

You can gloat over the great attack of Junaid and Ajmal while teams will come to our home and smash us to all parts.

Judging by his stats and his performances so far in this tournament, he seems like a Trott type number 3 in that innings are built around him. Wouldn't expect outrageous shots, but he might be one who puts a high price on his wicket. Is there an immediate need for someone like that in the team? I'm not sure, I'd want to see him show the ability to change gears.

1) I've said many times Amin should open or bat at number 3 and I'm more inclined to him opening but we seem to have some good opening prospects so to accommodate them, Amin will have to drop to 3.

2) Hafeez shouldn't move down the order as long as Misbah is around. When Misbah is replaced by someone like Haris Sohail who can construct his innings at a good SR, Hafeez should move down the order because he has good finishing capabilities and can belt the ball. Hafeez is as genuine as an ODI all-rounder can be. No doubt about that.

3) I was wrong about Fawad and what he brings to the team. There is no better anchor than him in Pakistan.

Don't wanna sound silly but he's more like a Kohli as in he can consolidate as well as play the shots.

Agree mostly. I'm not too sure about Amin, I would try Shafiq at 3 and give him an extended run. In swinging conditions, we should have Shafiq/Amin open ahead of Akmal. Sami Aslam could be in the mix too. Other than that, we have a few bowlers coming up who should be around the team too, ie. Zafar Gohar, Kamran Ghulam, Karamat Ali. I would personally go with Gohar and Ghulam, both are all rounders...

Based on fawad performance recently in international cricket that top scorers in domestic cricket deserve a chance to see if they are good enough or no without being ignored for no reason and ******** keep on getting selected for national team.
Based on 11 centuries and 23 half centuries in 57 domestic matches that he has played so far and maintaining an average of almost 54. These stats are good enough for you to give deserving guy to prove himself?

Based on the fact that Haris and Fawad are the best players in the FC circuit.

Based on the fact that Haris Sohail is perhaps the undisputed king of T20s in Pakistan domestic.

Based in the fact that every time we have given chances to consistent performers of FC and LA(not just one) cricket they have generally worked out well for us e.g Umar Akmal, Fawad and Sohaib.(batting only)

Based on the fact that Haris has the potential to be a very good batsman.

Based on the fact that the limited chances he did recieve he was made to bat out of place sometimes below Afridi.

Based on the fact that Misbah is a good batsman who was hyped to be top class due to the inability of others around him.

Based on the fact that Fawad is performing the same role as Misbah and is doing a better job at it.

Based on the fact that Misbah is 40 and out of form and we need to move on because when 40 year olds start to lose their touch they dont recover easily.

The record speaks for itself if compared with current batting line up.Only if domestic performance is to be considered of any use otherwise PCB should stop wasting money on arranging domestic cricket events.

Can Haris Sohail open the innings? He is a leftie and the way Nasir Jamshed is going dont think he will be on the plane to WC, S.Khan is terrible every time i see him bat he doesn't cut it for me, S Khan Try T20's game is not yet ready for ODI cricket. And hafeez not an opener.

Having a left and right handed opening for WC would be great ! And he has a terrific FC and LA average! Need to get this guy a gig and see what is he all about !

I agree, we don't even need selectors, just pick up the first class record and select away.

Based on the fact that Haris and Fawad are the best players in the FC circuit.

Based on the fact that Haris Sohail is perhaps the undisputed king of T20s in Pakistan domestic.

Based in the fact that every time we have given chances to consistent performers of FC and LA(not just one) cricket they have generally worked out well for us e.g Umar Akmal, Fawad and Sohaib.(batting only)

Based on the fact that Haris has the potential to be a very good batsman.

Based on the fact that the limited chances he did recieve he was made to bat out of place sometimes below Afridi.

Based on the fact that Misbah is a good batsman who was hyped to be top class due to the inability of others around him.

Based on the fact that Fawad is performing the same role as Misbah and is doing a better job at it.

Based on the fact that Misbah is 40 and out of form and we need to move on because when 40 year olds start to lose their touch they dont recover easily.

Yes our selectors have done a wonderful job over the years that is why we are the Number-1 team in the world right now.
