What's new

Pakistan bowled out for 294, stretch match into Day 4, set South Africa target of 41 to win 2nd Test

Fakhar what a fall from grace it's been for him since the CT final.

No I'm not counting the 200 he made against Zimbabwe.
 
Fakhar's appologists will say Babar playing out a maiden forced Fakhar to play that shot
 
Time for Fakhar Zaman’s Test career to be euthanased.

He had the same catastrophic technique against short-pitched bowling at the Champions Triphy, but ODI bouncer restrictions shielded him from full scrutiny.

Incidentally, now a big test for Sarfraz too - can he resist chasing wide balls now that he needs to?
 
Great going fakhar now go back and play T10 cricket or in your backyard thats where u belong

ODI cricket is a completely different ball game. He can still do very well in ODI cricket. Just look at Rohit Sharma. He's one of the most feared batsman in ODI cricket by the opposition, yet he has done nothing substantial in Test cricket, period.

Call me a sore loser,but always thought it was a fluke.You can't last long with that technique and limited strokeplay
 
Fakhar should've made a 50 and sealed his place in the team till the next South Africa tour in October 2020.
 
Just a white ball cowlasher who will come good against good bowling 2/10 times. This should be the end of his overseas Test career.
 
When you have a weak batting line up, the last thing you need is a hit and miss player in the test format. How ****ing hard is it to select the right players for the right format?
 
Problem on these tacks against this attack it's very difficult to sustain a long period of dominance.
 
Sarfraz and Fakhar are the biggest gainers from the Champions Trophy fluke.
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] on what basis he was slecetd.Very irresponsible and ordinary player.

Rohit's issue is temperament.Fakhar would do well to be as good as Rohit even in ODIs
 
Guys look at the bright side.
We got to 200 and Barbar has still to score his inevitable double hundred
 
In many sense, that series against AUS particularly 2nd Test has caused more harm than goods.
 
Fakhar is only 3 tests old give him time Future opening combo should be:

Fakhar
Sharjeel

A quick 40 from each would put the opposition on back foot. Anything is better than the dreadfull imam & shan
 
How’s your boy Imam going?

No one is my boy in this team. These are all third rate cricketers benefiting from the dearth of talent in the country.

My point is that Imam is not doing any worse than other players. People need to end this witch-hunt because of his Inzamam connection.

Agreed with you this time.

None of them has average of 16 in last 12 innings i think.
 
Shan and Asad made a good comeback. A lead of 180 could have been interesting.

this line-up scoring 400+ very unlikely . The batsmen cant concentrate for long. They get satisfied with very few runs and once they feel assured of place in next match they tend to relax
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] on what basis he was slecetd.Very irresponsible and ordinary player.

Pakistan cricket is in crisis and players like him are among the beneficiaries. The problem is with the fans who run their mouths and compare our poor players with the best in the world.
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] it sometimes make me angry that after hard work of so many years i am not earning much but these guys with such mediocrity are earning well,,,For me most of them does not deserve it.

The reason for the witch hunt is due to the fact that there are players who’ve been averaging greater than imam yet he got a fast track into the side. what message is inzi sending out to the youngsters who’ve been performing well? Selection should be on merit, what had imam done to justify his spot in the starting xi?

Also, when most players are starting there careers, they’re usually on the bench for 3-4 tours before they get picked, different story for imam though.
 
Fakhar is/was never good puller or hooker, even in CT most of the stuff was off the edge. Sharjeel was lot more authoritative on pull and hook.

Fakhar thought he can fluke his way to test cricket as well 🙄🙄🙄

Spot on. Mentally they don't have capacity to play the long 150-200 runs innings which are the real game changing moments in matches.

Sharjeel was always the better batter
 
For a second I thought you were talking about THAT Brisbane test.

It established Sarfraz, it created a false hope with Fakhar, it gave an unreal expectation from Abbas, it cost 5 Tests waste behind MoHa, it brought a nothing spinner in line light, it gave a false hope with Imam-MoHa opening pair .... what else?

Yes but the problem here is that they drop everything and start thinking of themselves as superstars who don't need to work hard anymore and improve. It is usual for our part of the world especially Pakistan.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a fluke but it's just that they're not improving their game which is infuriating. Technique is something which one can improve on if they want to and the same goes for strokeplay.
