"Mohammad Yousuf has given me some very good tips regarding my batting" : Faheem Ashraf

[hitthestump]

So long as Babar is in, the lead will build & Pakistan is in the drivers seat.

Faheem played it right & can block all day tomorrow too if he likes, just need people to build partnerships with Babar.

Babar will be out within the first couple of overs tomorrow.

I dispute this.

Shadab Khan is a Number 7.
He is 80% of a batsman - he will average 35 with the bat.

He is 66% of a bowler - he will average between 36 and 38 with the ball.

Faheem Ashraf is a Number 8,
He is 60% of a batsman - he will average 26 with the bat.

He is 80% of a bowler - he will average 32 with the ball.

In combination, which means Outside Asia, they occupy 2 places in the eleven but give you 1.40 batsmen plus 1.46 bowlers.

In effect, the two of them are worth almost 3 specialist batsmen or bowlers.

Don’t really understand these calculations.
I’d rather have 1 batsman and 1 bowler than
0.40 or 0.46 of a bits and pieces player.

Faheems a much better batsman than Shadab in all formats so he’s more suited to 7. He played a few crucial innings for Pakistan in their victories vs South Africa and bowled well in the t20 they won in New Zealand. Shadab hasn’t won them a game in ages with bat or ball but is marginally better than Faheem as a bowler.
It’s ridiculous that someone like Shadab who doesn’t merit a place in the side is the current t20 vice captain. Imad is a much better option than him as a player with Rizwan as VC.
