[idrizzy]

Well played Ashgar, definitely knocking on the door to be selected but still it's a big ask for a 17 year old.

Even though Sharjeel has done well this match, how many did it take for him to do this? 10? Once every 10 matches to get a score over 40 isn't good enough and I'd stop persisting with him. Fakhar looking good though.

On a side note, it seems like all SL players are all rounders going by their bowling options haha

Well to be honest to him its only his second limited overs game, you can't mix up first class and list A's performance.

It will be good for Pakistan cricket if he gets in form and score runs thick and fast in england coz Pak LOI doesn't have any palyer who attack england from the start of the match and push them onto the back foot. He would be a perfect partner to Azhar Ali.

England have a number of destructive players in their line and pak has none, so hope he plays and decimates England.

Some of the folks in this Lanka A side actually played against England in the recent LOI series and I recognize atleast a couple of names that were in the test side as well.


So this isn't a complete lulloo side.

Thoughts on umar siddiq and Abdul Rehman? Have you seen them play and if you have are they good enough for Pakistan?

 

[Markhor]

The only names I recognise in this SRL A side are Dhananjaya de Silva (didn't know he could open, always thought he was primarily a spinner), Ashan Priyanjan, Sachith Pathirana, Thisara Perera, Lahiru Gamage (who've all had ODI caps) and their keeper Niroshan Dickwella (for immature reasons).

Finally Shajy scored, good sign for his selection. And FZ impressive as always.

Muzammil - Had an FC avg of 39 and 4 hundreds and List A avg of 51. But this dude didn't play any match from Multan region for a long time, may be some politics. And some years years back Basit Ali rated him highly because he smashed a fighting 120* in a team total of 220 (may be numbers are here and there) and he performed against our top bowlers of domestic circuit Bhatti, Samiullah, Asad Ali, Yasir Shah.. So far he didn't play any match in front of camera as far i know, but he is almost 28-29 years old now. His golden years has been wasted.

Ummar Siddiq : He started his career as WK Batsman and he is left handed, in his early days he was known as Pakistan Gilly This dude has a beast domestic records, and his selection is fair enough. He came to screen in 2013, performed very well in ODI Faisal Cup almost at an avg of 55 and SR of 80+. Dont have a very solid technique like Sami Aslam, Babar Azam, Saud have, but he isn't the worst available option.

Both seem good prospects. Abdul Rehman is only 26 according to cricinfo so don't rule him out yet bro.

Umar has good stats but others don't rate him as highly. We could do with a good wicketkeeper batsmen in LO formats.

 

[MMHS]

Have a look at Abdul Rehman list A record on cricinfo and just wondering what type of player he is.

Never seen him bat, but List A stats are outstanding for 12 matches. I wonder, if he had played in P-Cup. Not much excited to be honest for someone averaging almost double in List A over FC cricket. Besides, I don't think he has ever played for a Corporate team & his official age is not encouraging enough to invest much.

On a side note - PAK should stop thinking any future of Sharjeel out side T20. His 1st 50 probably had 8 fours & 4 Sixes. Got away with SRL A, but almost every time in ODI, he'll end up skying after 2/3 boundaries.

I have seen Umar Siddiq.

He is good but not special.


Abdul Rehman Muzammil is possibly few years older than his official age. He started playing professional cricket very late just like irfan and misbah. He is an agressive player and Basit rates him highly as a limited overs cricketer but my sources tell me that he has awkward battinh stance and he isn't very pleasing on the eye.

ARM is fiance of Sana Mir.

Actually, ARM is 29 as far i know. And as i have said about Siddiq, he is good, but not the better one. Or should i say not upto modern international standards tbh.

It would be a huge disappointment if even one of their off-spring fails to make it big in cricket. With such genes from both parents you are predestined to have some semblance of cricketing talent.

There aren't many options so don't be suprised if Sharjeel is selected for the odi series.

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] comments about the result, old chap?

 

[MMHS]

There are half a dozen options better than him, trust me - unless this guy scores 25, he is basically negative on net value for his fielding & he doesn't bowl. So, that's 7 to 9 out of 10 matches are actually 10 men team. On top of that, he opens - with his running, if he shoots one of his partners from top 3 during running ... you know.

I like Left-handed openers - there are at least 5 who I'll try ahead of him - Sami, Saud, Amin, Haris & trust me, even Imam. Not sure about Fakher - another cross-batted hack, but may be with better fitness & utility (bowls & fields).

Which opener you think will be selected

Azhar & MoHa

And they'll play Babar at 4, if Ahmed comes back.

Azhar
Hafeez
Harris
Babar

That's not a bad top 4. Hopefully Shehzad is kept away for a while yet

 

[srh]

Sharjeel Khan man among boys out of 4 batsmen Pakistan A batted today he is the only one with 100+ strike rate

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Bad man Sharjeel.

Ate em as appetizer before dinner.

The first name you're referring to is Akila Dananjaya, the spinner who was picked out of the blue and played a few T20Is for SL.

This Dhananjaya de Silva is some other player.

Not denying that we don't need an attacking player, but saying that Sharjeel isn't that guy. 9 times out of 10 he'd lose his wicket for under 10 runs which is the opposite of what Pakistan needs in ODIs. Fair enough maybe in T20 that doesn't matter as much but for ODIs when there's 50 overs it's definitely not what we need. He was out of his depth for FC matches and maybe LOIs suits him, but I'd still have Hafeez and Azhar opening rather than this Pakistani Buzz Lightyear.

 

[anonymous_guy]

Well Sharjeel isn't a finished article yet, but still he is a sort of player who can give impetus at the start of the innings. He may succeed or may not succeed that should be judged after giving him a proper run in the team.

Other players have been tried as openers like Muktar Ahmed who played like a total hack and was clueless against Sri Lanka(may be he can get better after, but currently not at all good), :ahmed Shehzad has been given so many chances his runs comes with so much of ATTITUDE and TANTRUMS(which :ahmed thiks as FLAIR and SWAG) and that he makes runs at a snails pace which only affects the team's momentum in a negative way.

As far as Hafeez is considered he is better at number 3, its not as if Sharjeel will be a total failure, even if he averages 35 @ strike rate > 85/90 he will still be better than most of the Pakistani openers tried in the past decade.

Now it all depends on Inzy whether he is going to take a risk and include players who can go against the opponents with all guns blazing or whether he is going to be defensive in his approach and would take Misbah's blueprint of safety first and include players who would play defensively for a total of 250 or would take risk to score a total of above 300 (may even fail to reach 250 in that pursuit sometimes).
