Mohammad Hafeez - 66 runs in his last 6 Test innings

[JibranAnsari]

Scores a 126 then scores 66 in the next 6 innings and that too in his favourute UAE.

Why are we waiting for the 38 years old to perform now?

 

[Cric1234]

He will make amends in SA he's warming up for a big series with hundreds in each test.

 

[reversehook]

Because 1. he is talented in all facets of the game and 2. we need experience (of failiure), and 3. the man is a professor; he tried teaching ponting a thing or two back in the days, toh yeh aj kal ke bachay bohat kuch seekhain gey...

 

[Shafi]

Just accept he is untouchable player. Even Micky is slowly slowly used to that.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hes not be used properly, move him to middle order and play him as spinning all rounder. Hes been misused for 15 years, captain and coach are to blame here

It is Hafeez insistence he opens. He is not a opener. He is a damn lower order batting all rounder. Why do I have to see Hafeez in a test team over and over again. The guy is 37 and inconsistent at this level just let it go.

 

[in_cutter]

But but but he is experiencing

 

[Suleiman]

Everybody and their dog can predict what will happen in South Africa.

0.1: OUT Outside off, Hafeez plays at it, and he’s nicked it. b Steyn/Rabada/ Nelson Mandela ct. de Kock

X 3

It’s like predicting the end to a Tom and Jerry episode. Tom (Hafeez) will get his behind handed to him and Jerry wins.

Stop looking at Mickey (also a mouse). He tried his best to bar Hafeez selection but there’s some unseen forces

 

[Markhor]

The only way is up then right ?

Well we have not gone to SA yet, couple of centuries around the corner

 

[Arham_PakFan]

He needs to be dropped permanently.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

He needs to be dropped permanently.

We've discussed this, sadly he ain't going anywhere...... The SA disaster well and truly will happen.....

And he’s only bowled 11 overs in 3 Tests!

 

[Hitman]

What else do you expect when you recall a 38 years old TTF to the team?

Sure , Styne is losing sleep over the thoughts of bowling to Hafeez and Ngidi faking his injury to save his career and won't be available to face Hafeez, smart move , I guess.

38 (Pakistani) years old.

 

[emranabbas]

How the hell does he keep coming back in the team. I'm sure mickey washed his hands with him.

 

[coy0607]

He won't be dropped for the SA tour

Might as well accept this. Sit back and enjoy the disaster that is about to unfold in SA. If you think this is bad, what Hafeez is about to do in SA will shock you

Godfather somewhere around. That's the only proper reason anyone can think of.

Your diagnosis is correct.

 

[Hitman]

Your diagnosis is correct.

No other bunch of selectors from any nation would ever go back to a 38 years old TTF, that too just before the World Cup.

 

[Rana]

Needs to do the honourable thing and retire from Test Cricket. Still a useful ODI and T20 player. There is nothing to gain from this Test side and he is only hogging the spot for a deserving second opener

 

[adzzy786]

He’s just had a few poor innings, happens to all great players. He just needs a steady run and he will find his feet.

 

[Hasan123]

The type of stats our CS ignores.

 

[Sirris]

All hail Hafeez's top class advisors who advised him not to retire from cricket since the Pakistani team sti requires his services.

 

[ShahidDar08]

Should be thrown out forcibly.

 

[as-95]

Pathetic selection by Inzamam. We have nothing to gain by keeping him around. Too old and never contributes on a regular basis.

Must be binned ASAP.

 

[Forum363]

Just three more innings left. I hope he plays in all three this series and continues to flop so we can see him dropped.

We should still hope to win at New Zealand at home without his batting but him taking a spot in South Africa would be terrible

 

[Rana]

If he can’t score runs in the UAE then where can he score them? That too in Test Cricket

 

[aloo paratha]

Perfect, exactly what I was hoping for, now throw him out of the side and bring Fakhar for the next game.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Should be a straight swap for Fakhar in the next test.

Abid Ali can also be brought into the squad, he's been excellent for the A side.

 

[Madplayer]

Just in : Steyn was seen holding his chest with both hands when he was shown Hafeez's picture.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

He peaked too early (ref. 100 against Aus).

 

[mastersaan10]

Hafeez and shafiq should be on their last few tours

 

[mastersaan10]

Also sarfraz in tests

 

[Justcrazy]

He should have been dropped in 2004 itself . Its 14 years late already

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Just doesn't have the consistency to be a upper order test batter. He needs to be lower order batting all rounder.

 

[Hawkeye]

Hafeez was never good enough for Tests.

Because of this he might lose his ODI position as well where he can actually perform.

Didn't learn from Malik who is trash in both Tests and ODIs, yet retired from tests to save his ODI spot.

When did he ever have any good innings? Have I missed something

YOu must be a funny guy.
