They should have selected Rehan Afridi as well for this tour! He should have been tried as well!
 
Want to see us bat first sometime too!!!!

Sohaib Maqsood, Sharjeel Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Saad Nasim, Mohammad Nawaz (3), Bilal Asif, Saifullah Bangash†, Junaid Khan*, Mir Hamza, Rumman Raees

Ruman Raees is rubbish. Saifulllah is mediocre. Nasim is terrible. Iftikhrr Ahmed is crap.
 
Three changes today.

OUT: Fakhar Zaman, Shahzaib Hasan & Aamer Yamin

IN: Sharjeel Khan,Saad Nasim & Mir Hamza

And Miro takes a wicket!!!
 
Junaid Khan to Westley, no run, away swinger, outside off, play and a miss
2.2
Junaid Khan to Westley, no run, good length, punched of the backfoot, back to Junaid
2.1
Junaid Khan to Malan, 1 run, fuller ball, swinging in, steered to midwicket

Get him back into the squad, in all formats.
 
What is average pace of Mir Humza? - Cricinfo show him as LM (Left arm Medium), not even MF. Is he any good?
 
Seriously, just because he swung two deliveries.
No need to rush him back into the side. Let's see how he does in the PSL first

He isn't an unproven player. He's shown us what he can do and now that he's fit, he should be drafted back in. He bowled very well in the first T20 too, with an economy of under 6.

He hasn't done anything to merit a comeback at all.
 
Should be in 130's I think. He can swing it both ways. More reliant on movement than pace.

hmmm... That is not good enough, swinging late at pace is key, like Amir or Styen. Just bringing the ball in at military medium is not going to work at international level.

What's up with so many trundlers with teen average in FC? - Some thing really going on wrong with the pitches, how come Hammad, Humza, Imran Khan, Sadaf have low averages. Atleast two I have seen (Hammad and Imran), they are not international standard bowlers, we are going the wrong way :(

Pakistan use to produce pacy fast bowlers, who relied upon swing through the air at pace, we are killing the traditions. Looks like pitches are encouraging bowlers to be trundling and still getting good averages :facepalm:
 
We used to have bowlers:

"Jin Ko Dhaak Ka Raskh ayata Tha" - Imran, Waqar, Wasim, Shoiab etc

Now we have bowlers:

"Jin Ko Dhaak Ka Tarss ayata hai" - Gul, Rahat, Junaid, Imran etc

Times have changed :(

Now its time to go back to the future :)

Pitches are green and its the winter, so these medium pacers get success in domestic conditions but are quite often exposed at international level. Hammad is definitely nowhere near as good a bowler as his stats suggest. Imran has done alright though, I think.

I do have high hopes from Hamza. Search for his bowling videos; they're easy to find. He gets exaggerated movement in the domestic circuit, and he did trouble the England test side when playing for PAK A.

Domestic is poor, not of good standards. Majid Ali, Mir Hamza, Taj Walli, Hassan Ali, Mohammad Abbas they are decent fast bowlers. Majid Ali is a good swinger, Mohammad Abbas clocks 140+ and highest wicket taker in current Quaid tournament.
 
Ruman Raees is just so rubbish

My friend Nawaz doing great. Love him. Great guy!!! iA he gets to score today.... batting way too low in order..
 

That is a big range. What is average pace? - Looks like low 130s.

Right now we have only two bowlers who average close to 140 or above (Amir and Wahab)... Those are the only two fast bowlers we have ATM.

Irfan has gone down to mid 130s, still ok because of his height. Rest are not international class. low and mid 130s is not good enough unless you are Asif, we have nobody even close to that... We need to go back to producing fast bowlers, you need atleast 4/5 bowlers of avg close or above 140 class in domestic, this is very poor outlook :( PCB and NCA needs to really focus on producing fast bowlers...

BTW: Most of youtube videos of domestic fast bowlers are misleading, they are rigged in a sense, speed of playback is increase at run up and when ball is delivered, to make ball look fast then it is, clearly motive is to get noticed. Plus quality is so poor to make out any thing substantial. This does not help I am afraid!!

Average pace of Mir Hamza, Taj walli - 131-134. I was impressed by young bolwer name as Afraz Khoso which was called as Left handed Malinga. His yorkers were good, and he cranked upto 140KPH in T20 tournament.
We have bowlers whose are above 140 like Abbas, Aftab Ali Khan, and i believe Hassan Ali and Ammad But are also pacy.

NCA PCB needs to work with these young bowlers, but sad reality is Abbas is highest wicket taker, but he isn't even in PSL list.
 
Very good bowling by PAK A.
Amazing spell from Nawaz. Just 11 runs conceded in 4 ovs.
 
Junaid, apart from the first game, wasnt convincing today as well! I would have liked his economy to be under 7! Mir Hamza was OK today! Lets see if Mir Hamza can become a good limited overs bowler!

Why have u "I quit" as signature? Was wondering
 
Overton to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR, good length ball, lofted off drive, half hit to the rope
Overton to Sharjeel Khan, FOUR, short ball, Sharjeel pounces on it, hammers it to midwicket

That's enough for me, get him in the team. Lofted off drive and he can pull the ball? :O
 
Sharjeel is one of the better T20 opening options we've got. Refreshing change from some of the recent openers tried by Pakistan & Pakistan A.
 
Oh. Surprise surprise. One of the guys I've been saying should open for us in t20s is doing well...

He has done some improvement it seems.

U joking?

He is one of the best players of short pitched bowling we've got.

Did u not see him smash Malinga for 6? And pull the Indian bowlers in front of square for six?

He is a superb talent. Unbelievable hitter.
 
Nawaz been unlucky man.

Whenever a batsman gets a first ball duck, I am never too harsh on him. It can happen to anyone.

I was speaking relative to our current team. Barely any of them can attack short pitched bowling. :facepalm: Or pace in general.

Umar Akmal superb on short pitch.

Since Shehzad head injiry, he not s ogood.

Hafeez v good.

YK useless.(will b expose in UK)

Misbah good at defending... no attack

Shafiq good at leaving it.. cant play

Sarfaraz will b exposed....

Babar is very good.

haris decent.
 
Twice in a row isn't good though; not disputing his talent, he's a good allrounder.

Still dont mind bc its all down to luck.

First ball duck isnt a big issue and I never hold them responsible if it comes to a loss... one who is reponsibl is one who gets in and fail to win..

So basically Umar, Hafeez (when he isn't getting run out) and Babar.

Enough of the others... I don't care about Sharjeel's weight, he better be in the next T20 squad. :inzi
 
Sharjeel going great, needs to be picked in the senior team asap.

It was big injustice to him to be ignored of all matches in WT20 2014
 
Dawson to Sharjeel Khan, 2 runs, short ball, pitched middle, pulled to midwicket, great dive and stop, excellent recovery and throw
Dawson to Sharjeel Khan, 2 runs, makes room ,hammers to long-on, great slide and stop
Dawson to Sharjeel Khan, 2 runs, cut shot, beyond point, good running between

Now he's running twos as well... :bow: what are we waiting for?
 
Sarjeel can be a monster in Indian grounds if he can survive first few overs & he is a lefti as well; something Pakistan missing since Salman - a lefty in top 3.

I hope WY has taken his notes.

Let me guess... "Maqsood as opener looks like a good idea"?
 
Second 50 for Sherju in the green shirt in T20's and another one at 150+ SR.

T20 beast.
