Mohammad Hafeez, oh so untouchable Mohammad Hafeez

[Hawkeye]

Mamoon:
That's a fair post.

Just like Junaid isn't a strike bowler and should be used a 3rd seamer, Hafeez too isn't a top order batsman IMO.

 

[Mamoon]

Hafeez should be batting at number 4 and Junaid should be used as a third seamer (Gul's replacement).

 

[Saqs]

He reminds me too much of Amir Liaqat for me to take him seriously.

 

[CaptainPak]

Hafeez brings value with his tidy bowling and occasional wickets, but he must bat down the order and let a younger player like Sohaib or Umar Akmal play in his spot.

I would have preferred him over Misbah as the captain for WC. Definitely more aggressive in the field compared to the current captain.

He would play so much better down the order.

Good to see some love.

Umm, yeah, dancing around on the field, running to the bowler after every ball, disturbing their rhythm is "aggression".

Not to mention, the love for Kamral akmal, shoaib malik and dropping of youngsters, wow what a captain for WC, just like his captaincy at T20 WC.

 

[Amjid Javed]

His favourite opposition in recent times coming up for hafeez in SL so am sure he will find form, come the world cup his cardboard cut out techic will once again be exposed though.

 

[Canistani Hero]

..man this thread has come a long way

 

[Hawkeye]

Hafeez embarrassing himself again in the top order against the moving ball..

Clueless against Kula!!

Maybe if he can somehow survive this embarrassment, he can go on to score big.

 

[Mamoon]

Brilliant with the ball as usual but needs to bat through.

 

[Hawkeye]

)

What an embarrassment of a batsman. He's NOT a specialist bat, ALWAYS clueless in the top order against moving ball.

Excellent allrounder and should play as a bowling allrounder at MINIMUM 4. Will prefer him at 5/6.

 

[Mamoon]

Gone, batting two positions too high.

 

[Mamoon]

5/6 is too low, 4 is perfect.

 

[Fastandfurious]

He got out to the wrong bowler.

 

[MRSN]

What a great spell of bowling against some very good batsmen of spin. Well done once again Hafeez.

 

[Mamoon]

As usual fantastic with the ball, haters gonna hate.

We don't need Ajmal back.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

He steps up again.

He is basically our front line spinner and he has been fantastic.

 

[Fastandfurious]

As usual fantastic with the ball, haters gonna hate.

We don't need Ajmal back.

Ajmal/Babar for Afridi, no need for his 10 runs.

 

[Fastandfurious]

playing well.

 

[Mamoon]

The most consistent ODI bowler in the world. Conditions, opponents and match situation doesn't matter, he does his job.

 

[MRSN]

As usual fantastic with the ball, haters gonna hate.

We don't need Ajmal back.

Ajmal would have had a 3fer too....in the 50th over after SL had crossed 300+.

 

[Mamoon]

Afridi is the only star left in Pakistan, good for marketing. Can't drop him yet.

 

[Mamoon]

And receiving a phainta at the end by darting.

 

[MRSN]

I want to see Yahya Husseini's face right now. I'm sure he will be watching this.

 

[Hamza_]

Facepalm at those who want him out ofi ODIs and T20s. He is one of the best spinners currently, Can enter as a spinner alone in any team, Such a Top Quality bowler. But problem is batting, He needs to bat at 5 or 6.

 

[Mamoon]

Truly untouchable with the ball.

 

[aukhan]

far better all rounder than afridi.

It's shame he had to resign from T20 captaincy because of GEO Mafia and the blank sheeps in the dressing room.

Should bat at 4 and he contributes in one way or the other every match. Much better than Afridi.

 

[Mamoon]

Genuine all-rounder without a doubt. Bowling all-rounder don't perform with the bat like he has post 2010.

 

[MRSN]

for the first time you said something sensible. It was indeed the great Mafia that make him resign from the captaincy by constant bashing in the media when the whole team failed.

 

[mussu-100]

Oh Professor.

 

[Mamoon]

aukhan is one of the most sensible poster around.

 

[aukhan]

39 for 3 in 10 overs

He has been excellent for a while now.

 

[mussu-100]

As pure an all-rounder as they come. I dont care what averages say.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

I just love the way he comes on, bowls an economical spell and goes on without a fuss. He finishes his overs in very quick time as well.

 

[Mamoon]

Rich man's Moeen bhai.

 

[Hamza_]

How on earth can you drop a guy who has been your most economical bowler over 4 years.

 

[MRSN]

Rich man's Moeen bhai.

Moeen bhai is just an Indian Basher..

 

[Hawkeye]

Always good with the ball and a good allrounder.

His batting has serious issues and should never bat in the top order.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

The beast shall not spare you!

 

[aukhan]

A hardworking cricketer. he always gives his 100% team player

 

[Hawkeye]

The swing troubled him in 1st ODI like always, but back to his SL bashing mode today

 

[Mamoon]

He's our best batsman when the ball doesn't swing.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

The class and timing - .

 

[Mamoon]

Great to watch, my sort of batsman.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Contrary to the popular belief, I don't think Hafeez will struggle during the World Cup. He struggles against quality swing and you only get bounce in Australia and NZ. He can hook and pull very well, possibly our best back foot player.

 

[Mamoon]

22* (9).

 

[Mamoon]

Merlin's beard, 26* (10).

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

We can afford to have Shahzad if someone in the top order can play like this consistently. One of the few reasons I want Sharjeel to be given chances.

 

[razabbas]

Party by Mamoon to every PP'ers especly bullet drive

 

[Mamoon]

He has been brilliant at number 3. If this was some young batsman, PP particularly Bullet Drive would have gone nuts.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Is there a better sight than a cover drive from Hafeez's bat?

The flick is very good, so is the pull.

 

[Adil_94]

On flat tracks when he is in form Hafeez is a delight to watch.

talk nah Hawkeye..

This is how you fight. Hafeez for captaincy!!

 

[shah_1]

Yea tell me a better All rounder than him in Pakistan if we want him to be dropped. There is none, so keep on hating but he is not going to be dropped. Hafeez ROCKS

 

[Mamoon]

MRSN, how many captains do you want? that day, you were vouching for Fawad.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Hafeez showing his displeasure of being dropped from the test team...

 

[srh]

Keep Mohammad Hafeez at #3. His record at #3 is stellar.

 

[Boi]

Incredible batting from him today!

 

[MRSN]

Very refreshing to see Hafeez with the positive approach from the word go and not playing for his selfish early 40s first like some of Pakistan's batsmen have been doing recently.

 

[MRSN]

Owning Malinga..

 

[Mamoon]

MashAllah to bolo.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Malinga to Hafeez:

25 runs scored off 10 balls at a strike rate of 250.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

MashaAllah.

 

[Mamoon]

Just 4 dots so far.

 

[MRSN]

MashAllah to bolo.

MashAllah..Kahi Hafeez ko nazar na lage.

 

[dhump]

Lets see how we handle leg break today.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Just 4 dots so far.

Misbah will be disappointed. Why didn't his approach affect him like it did to Shahzad and Jamshed?
#BulletDriveLogic )

 

[Mamoon]

Shehzad has also done baghawat from Misbah approach today, future looks bleak for the old man.

 

[Bullet Drive]

What a knock.

Has to go on.

 

[MRSN]

MRSN, how many captains do you want? that day, you were vouching for Fawad.

I want anyone to captain who is positive and doesn't give up before a good fight. A respectful lose doesn't exist. Either you lose or You win.

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Shehzad has also done baghawat from Misbah approach today, future looks bleak for the old man.

He started with Misbah's approach.

Now, just imagine the phainta Misbah will give to him for not scoring slowly.

 

[Mamoon]

Wah MRSN, kya attitude hai.

 

[Mamoon]

True.

 

[Mamoon]

Wow wow wow

50 of 28 mashAllah.

 

[Bullet Drive]

WHAT A 50 and the old grandad Misbah says slow down, WHY???

 

[Mamoon]

Misbah asking him to do tuk tuk. )

 

[Pakistani_Legend]

Wonderful knock!

Pleased. Smoothly done.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Unbelievable from Hafeez.

MUST bat at 3 from now on. Quit opening.
