If Jason Roy is not a hack, can anyone explain why he averages 18 in Test cricket?

Even Babar won’t get in England team. They have much better alternative in Root and he can’t make it to T20

Let’s see Pakistan open the batting with Rizwan and Tests if that’s the case
So using your logic, every opener should averaging in teens? Your hatred for Rizwan is unbelievable just because he removed the virus Sarfraz from the team
Rizwan once again outperforming Pakistan’s golden boy. Clueless Rizwan haters need to go back in their caves and never come out again
This is not England's best bowling yet;
Where are Stokes, Archer, Woakes?
Let Rizwan do what he is useless at; inflate against C/D bowling

I'm an Indian and I can only laugh at those who are speaking against Rizwan
You guys deserve players like Sarfaraz instead.
Not an opening batsmen.
Doesn't score fast enough.
I miss the days of Imran Nazir, Ahmed Shehzad and Kamran Akmal.
Sarfaraz is a wicket keeper, Fawad is not
At least give logical reason rather than throwing random names.. In 2017 , Rohail Nazir was not ready, not sure he is even ready today to play test match
How poor is Rizwan?
He's just wasting the opener's slot. Where can PAK hide him??? Nowhere!
He's just a glorified accumulator with no place in the T20 side. He's also wasting Fakhar's opening slot where Zaman can at least hit some blows.
But, we got no choice but to hide Rizwan from the middle order as he can't score fast at all. So we decide to make him open.
What a joke.
He's as bad as Sarfraz when it comes to scoring runs, just a single double player.
if I had to rate your T20 bats at their best. Hafeez > Fakhar > Rizwan ~ Babar
Rizwan should bat down the order, as he seems more like a finisher.
cut the trash talk and answer these statswhere Sarfaraz is literally destroyed by Rizwan. Real quality of modern day Sub continent batsman is judged by his deep stats in SENA against masters like Southee, Boult, Jamison, Wagner, Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Anderson, Broad, Archer, Woakes, Lyon. Tell me why Rizwan averages 43 against these bowlers in SENA while Sarfaraz averages 23 ?
Muhammad Rizwan (MR)/Sarfaraz Ahmad (SA)
Away average 41.2/32.8 MR>SA
Home average 50.25/42.0 MR>SA
Averages in SENAW
vs SA ---- No data/16.25
vs ENG ---- 40.2/24.8 MR>SA MR faced attack of Anderson, Broad, Archer, Woakes, Stokes
vs NZ ---- 43.0/17.2 MR>SA MR faced attack of Southee, Boult, Wagner, Jaimeson
vs AUS ---- 44.2/38.6 MR>SA MR faced attack of Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood, Lyon
vs WI ---- No data/28
50s in total Innings in SENA
6 x 50s in 8 innings (75 % 50s per innings) / 4 x 50s in 34 innings (11.7 % 50s per innings ROFL) MR>SA
Stop your toxic ethnic hate.
Not playing Archer lol.
As if your idol can score more than a 30 agst any bowling attack.
He's not a finisher. He's at his best up the order.

Rizwan innings has kept Pakistan in the game. It speaks volumes of our pathetic middle order. There is no one else to support. Rizwan gave a brilliant start. His job was done there but no one really capitalised on the good start and everyone was failing with the bat as we expect them to. After a poor middle order effort it was expected of Rizwan to not take a lot of risk.
It's a very good knock again. People who have zero understanding of the game will always target player who stands for the team when rest are perishing. If it wasn't for his knock Pak would have been in great trouble to have any decent totals for competing.
Bring back Sarfaraz!!!
Not really best for the team, as he still accumulates at the top.
And worse, he wastes the spot of an actual big hitting opener like Sharjeel or Fakhar.
There is no bubble left to be burst about.
Since Babar can't play spin and will probably fail vs India in WT20, Rizwan is the most prized wicket for us in the WT20.
It will not be pathetic if you play openers as openers
Cant believe just to serve Rizwan; Misbah has to hide him at the TOP
We just saw how Fakher completely missed a simple Moeen delivery. You can't just have to hit sixes but have the ability to bat like an actual batsman. You just want sloggers getting their eyes closed and launching attacking mode. If it works it will definitely look good but if it fails then we would even struggle to score 100.
Also your strategy is less likely to work all the time unless you have batsmen like England who actually have the ability to hit anywhere in the ground not just leg side hackers which is what Fakher and Sharjeel are.
As if Rizwan was stroking marvelously through the points and cover region. Open your eyes Rizwan is a limited batsman as well and he plays for average as he knows the selection is done on average criteria.
Rizwan in 1st t20 got himself bailed out due to medicore bowling
Rizwan in 2nd t20 take the momentum of the inning out and got out when quick runs was needed
Rizwan in 3rd t20 played the whole inning and literally done nothing for pak
Some shameless trolling of Riz going on here. Shows what a bunch of losers some pak fans here are.
Roy is a hack. Thats why he failed in Tests.
Yes very true as shadab would have smacked them for 7-8 sixes and made a 70 odd in 25 balls.Yes very well said, if Rizwan had been out cheaply today Pakistan would have got 200, with good contributions from Imad and Shadab - but unfortunately Rizwan wasted far too many balls for Imad and Shadab to play themselves in.
Poor post.
Rizwan is bad, but not as bad as Sarfraz. Very similar though - both accumulators.
Rizwan is bad eh?
Ok i wont waste my breath. Have a good evening.
It beggars belief there are Pak fans on this forum who are calling for Rizwan to be replaced by Sarfaraz ���� - Rizwan appears to be a clutch player and Pak needs to invest in him and needs to build a team around him.
I hope this is sarcasm because those are some garbage names. 2 of who bat with a lower strike rate than Rizwan

Rizwan captivates your imagination with the bat more than Kamran Akmal and Imran Nazir? We are talking about opening batsmen here.
This. Let's assume Rizwan is bad. What other options do Pakistan have? Hacks like Azam Khan & Sharjeel.If there is a Jason Roy, Munro, Warner, Hales, Finch waiting in the wings, then sure you can replace Rizwan with him. Till then, be thankful for what you have.

Doesn't score fast enough.
I miss the days of Imran Nazir, Ahmed Shehzad and Kamran Akmal.
I think him and Babar are great partners for each other in the middle going forward, just like Rizwan would most likely by my 4/5 in ODIs.
The OPs view is valid but different to mines. I am not asking for Riz to be removed from the team so Sarfaraz or next manz come into the side. Just let two out and out T20 openers do the business at the top and let Babar and Rizwan control the game in the middle. You will have to move to this strategy very soon once Hafeez and Malik are gone for good (in the next 6 months), so why waste time doing it now?
Lol at mentioning Kamran Akmal & Shezad. They were the definition of mediocrity. Imran Nazir played a decent knock in the T20 WC final. He was mediocre too.
Pakistan is a team that has no talent, skill and mentality. A team that is bankrupt and borderline minnow.
Among all this disaster, we have one cricketer who is the best in the world with the gloves and a very solid batsman with better temperament, better match-awareness and more guys than the golden boy Babar.
And yet, some fans think it is reasonable to criticize Rizwan because he cannot blast sixes like Roy, Bairstow, Buttler, Pandya, Pant etc.
He is not a huge six hitter but works around it very well and he can manage his limitations.
An intelligent player can hide his weaknesses and let his strengths carry him, and this is what Rizwan has done. His mentality is top notch and far ahead of anyone in Pakistan right now.
From a mentality POV, he is right up there with the likes of Younis Khan who forged a 50+ averaging Test career with 33 hundreds in spite of not having the natural talent on par with most batsmen in that league.
Rizwan will punch above his weight all his career, but some people will try to pull him down while overhyping vastly inferior players.
They have deluded themselves into thinking that the awful and embarrassing Sharjeel would score more runs at a better SR than him and have a bigger impact on the team.
They have deluded themselves into thinking that he would have the type of impact Roy, Buttler, Bairstow, Finch etc. have and take Pakistan to flying starts more often than not.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Very true. Infact the trend i saw in pakistan since from a long time is that whenever someone starts performing people starts pointing out the flaws in that player. He does not bats like so and so, he don't know his off stump, he can't bat in so and so conditions against so and so teams blah blah blah. Let them perform, let them groom themselves into a better player and fix their weaknesses. Thats how a good batsman is converted into a world class player. But instead of doing it that player is dropped after 1-2 failures and a mediocre player is replaced with him who fails even more miserably. Meanwhile the dropped player who was performing earlier, looses all his confidence and starts declining as a player. And that cycle is going on since last 2 decades which resulted in hardly any batsman to develop himself into a world class player except babar.Pakistan is a team that has no talent, skill and mentality. A team that is bankrupt and borderline minnow.
