Looking so good. He can beat his highest score (140*) here.
Watch people cry about scoring runs against Zimbabwe. Or about the flat deck.
going to end up as Pak's best batsman.
A wasted position, come tougher competition/situations in the future.
A spot wasted
2/3 spots are being wasted in this XI.
It is quite embarrassing that we are persisting with this hack as an opener.
tbf he averages close to 40 in test cricket and has played on variety of surfaces
I think he is better than Shehzad still who has only beasted on flat UAE tracks and averages 20 in SL which is the only away country he has played in
so we arent spoilt for choice
I've watched all his matches since his comeback. Nothing's changed, he's maximized on the FTBing opportunities and not once has he looked comfortable against swing. Even trundlers like Shahid and Mathews have troubled him.
Shehzad is no better but Hafeez is 34 and a guaranteed wicket against the moving ball. Persisting with him is just ridiculous. You can't help but think Misbah is clearly favouring his buddies here. Zulfi being the other.

Were you by chance Fastandfurious?
Hafeez should lay over the hallucigenic drugs!
Hes a jack of all trades, master of None!
He's nothing special in that department too.
There is nothing outstanding about Hafeez at any level.
LOl @ people calling him thrash and jack of all trades, master of none.
How times change yara![]()
Times will change once more early next year bhai saab![]()
He's been one of our highest run scorers in recent times, even if he is a FTB, our other batsmen couldn't even put bat on ball in the UAE
not only last year but from 2010 he has been a good batsman for us
Therefore it's unfair to criticise him even though we know this as a fact. All he did was struggle against Steyn who is the best fast bowler in the world.

thats clearly not true- he's done more than "just struggle against Steyn"
he's an average batsmen at best (stats prove it!), he's in the team because we've gone through our worse dearth of talent in these past 5 years, and because he's contributed with the ball
bigger test for hafeez in new zealand
Bigger will be in England and Australia.

I agree with you to some extent. He looks good only because others have been really bad, hence the ODI ranking of 9. It's called "Andhon mein kana raja".Looking at sheer stats he's been Pakistan's best ODI batsman for the last five years now. Healthy average at s decent strike rate. But somehow is criticised for lack of ability to play swing ,minniw basher,FTB etc. As if the rest of the batsmen are making tons on green mambas against Marshall and Lillee.
We will see whether hafeez has improved as a test batsmen in our next 3 away series or we will find out that he still is a FTB.
He'll do better in Australia than England and New Zealand. Swing and seam are Hafeezs achilles heel. He will play bounce better. But whether he can survive till then after these two tours remains to be seen. Against Jimmy n Broad/ Boult and southee he will struggle big time

Didn't he score a hundred against NZ in NZ before the WC? A majority of the posters here are either overestimating the swing on NZ pitches or under estimating his ability in playing on those pitches or both.
Dale Steyn owned many batsmen in his prime and just because Hafeez got out to Steyn multiple times, he's being discredited. A lot of same posters are huge fans on Malik for some reason. Malik is a big hack and majority of his runs are against sub par spinners and B grade teams through nicks and nudges.
Hafeez is a better ODI bat than Azhar, Malik, Shafiq, UA, Shehzad and Maqsood. He is a team player and has good morals. What else do you need?
The ODI tracks are fairly flat in NZ. And he scored an 80 odd before the world cup. And that was on a track NZ made 370. In ODIS hafeez will do okay. In tests the first couple of days the ball does seam and swing around against Boult n southee I expect him to struggle then. And yes Malik isn't good outside the SC in his peak he was a SC track bully. Bullying India and SL mostly. However since then he has played in BBL and English T20S league and done ok. If the ODI tracks are flat and they mostly are I expect Malik to do ok. But nothing special. Hafeez isn't a particularly good fielder drops a lot of catches. Was a brilliant bowler but can't do that now. And he's an ok batter. At the ag of 35 I don't expect much from him.Didn't he score a hundred against NZ in NZ before the WC?

Tell me one match against England and NZ(which we WON) where he has not contributed!Without his bowling, Hafeez is a useless cricketer. He shouldn't have kept his place after the bowling ban but the team management doesnt think logically and is biased towards experience.

The only 4 matches we have won so far he has a fiftyplus scores in all of them !
Between the NZ & ENG series, we have only won one ODI and one T20. How are you talking about 4 wins.
I am more questioning his spot in the ODI side at this time.
Bumper to Bumper pathetic another dismal display by the so called Prof.
Who made you win in your last ODI and test beta?Bumper to Bumper pathetic another dismal display by the so called Prof.
Can't bowl, certainly can't bat and definitely can't field.
He is a baggage in current XI.
