What's new

Pakistan (207) defeat UAE (176/8) comfortably by 31 runs to register their second win of the UAE Tri-Nation series 2025

You have a point but most batsmen are stronger on the leg side.

Even someone like Viv, who could hit the ball anywhere, most of his big sixes were on the on-side
Yes.. but a batsman needs to evolve by developing range of shorts on either side .. you can be better on one side of the wicket but should also develop other side of the game.. his shorts got limited and his choice of short making is mostly on the leg side
 
Hassan Nawaz is in good touch , if he bats through , Pakistan will have a solid target
even if he gets out, still have quite a bit of batting to come

i want to see if Mo Harris can bully UAE bowlers after his poor run in his last 4-5 games
 
No 7 is not suiting Haris at all. Dont know why he isnt playing at no 3 and Fakhar at no 4.

History shows no 4 is Fakhar's best position in t20 and no 3 is haris best position.
 
Fakhar isn't working at 3 and Haris isn't working at 7.

May need to bring Haris to his best no. 3 position and Fakhar needs to come down or bench
 
really interested to see how he fares against India and the pressure
No point comparing with india atm as they are a better team. Ik indian posters irritate me 24/7, but India, Australia, England, SA and NZ are elite teams and atm are out of Pakistan's league.

Currently PK is in a recovery phase post BA/Riz in t20.

Pakistan is no longer losing to Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Oman, USA and these rubbish teams, excluding the loss to Bangladesh in t20 however that was due to pitch conditons where even India struggled.

Australia lost 2-0 to Sri Lanka in their den in odi, these sort of pitches dont show the true result.

Hasan Nawaz has a 44 ball 100 vs NZ c team in their own den, has had killer performances at home and he puts Minnows in their place. He is a fine batsmen for Pakistan atm.

It'll take a 5-7 years to reach top tier level assuming Pakistan continues this trend and doesn't go back to the classic Misbah approach
 
Haris breaking his bat out of frustration:

Pakistan seems to be in fine form ahead of the Asia cup. They should be favorites to win along with India.
Srilanka as usual will be the dark horse.
 
Fakhar isn't working at 3 and Haris isn't working at 7.

He is a hack, no position will.make a difference, I don't remember any innings of note from him apart from that 50 on the phatta in NZ where Nawaz scored the fastest 100.
 
Harris doesn’t have game for number 7 and can’t blame him too cause you have to hit out. Better play him in top 3 or let him be on bench
 
Another failure by ‘Haris the hack’

If he keeps batting like this, it will surely open the door for Rizwan to make a comeback.

And Rizwan bats where ? 6? Rizwan can’t bat anywhere except opener . Hence he isn’t a solution

Haris has a 100 vs Bangladesh at home? He's also the reason we reached the semi finals in 2022 wc.

Excluding the Bangladesh series, he's never failed at no 3. Whether he is a hack or not isn't relevant as he has clearly performed at no 3 so far.

Rizwan will be barely any better.

Khwaja Nafay has been keeping at Shaheen’s level, so he can maybe do a job at number 3 and Fakhar moves down to 4.
 
And Rizwan bats where ? 6? Rizwan can’t bat anywhere except opener . Hence he isn’t a solution
For me it's more about mentality that Riz and Babar bring to the team...like telling the youngsters to slow down when they are smacking everything and in the zone...you ain't going to win anything in the modern sporting world with that mindset

I will not allow this revisionism.

It's now my mission to expose all these people who have consistently vouched for Fakhar as opener and made fun of all those who said Fakhar should be at 4 since the beginning.

I think bro now i understand why mike hesson want faheem at 8 such a clean hitter.

Agreed

What I mean is that he looks like he has tons of potential. I'm just interseted how he fares under India-Pak pressure. I have no doubt he will preform against SENA teams. But the pressure of India is another level
 
And Rizwan bats where ? 6? Rizwan can’t bat anywhere except opener . Hence he isn’t a solution
I don’t want both Rizwan and Babar in the same team (both play too many dot balls) but one of them esp. Rizwan (if he improves his hitting range and strike rotation) could certainly play. Why not? Better than a brainless slogger any day
 
For me it's more about mentality that Riz and Babar bring to the team...like telling the youngsters to slow down when they are smacking everything and in the zone...you ain't going to win anything in the modern sporting world with that mindset
Pakistan can’t afford to go back to any of them in t20s . Their chapter must be closed forever in t20i

Lol, what revisionism? I have said it time and again that I vouched for fakhar as an opener in the past during ba/riz era.

That was before Pakistan has farhan and Saim.

Fakhar is a superior version of babar and rizwan in any whiteball format.

Babar and rizwan have never been > Fakhar in odi. In t20 despite falhar being a failure in that format, Ba/riz were only > Fakhar in 2021 during their purple patch phase. Afterwards Fakhar is still marginally better then both at any no.

True but it's not like Pakistan has any alternatives to replace him.

He is clearly Pakistan's best middle order youngster in the entire country atm.

He's basically a proper batting version of Abdul Samad. Samad was a hack with power while hasan nawaz is a proper batsmen with powerm
 
The absence of Babar and Rizwan seems to have changed the approach of this Pakistan team. Everyone is batting aggressively and at no point the momentum is slowing down.
They have posted two decent-ish totals without Farhan and Fakhar’s contributions so far. This is a good sign I guess, but better teams will be an entirely different challenge.
 
Haris has a 100 vs Bangladesh at home? He's also the reason we reached the semi finals in 2022 wc.

Excluding the Bangladesh series, he's never failed at no 3. Whether he is a hack or not isn't relevant as he has clearly performed at no 3 so far.

He was also hacking at the WC, and from what I remember he was also in the lower middle order then. He is not a batsman, anyone who has seen more than 3 of his innings can see that.

This is his batting average at all positions, if you take out that 100 against BD, it is hack level.
