Lol these people wanted us to settle for Imam ul Haq. Talent will always prevail.

You won't EVER get those answers.
Inzi, Mickey, Sarfraz - they all hate introducing new potential batsmen.
And, Shan has his dad behind him - top PCB official. It's his dad's dream to see him play.
Imam has Inzi behind him.

Imam has Inzi behind him.
Well said... they kept saying there is no one better to replace Imam.
In just one innings this lad has looked better than Imam ever did.
Officially 31
Around 30 i guess
Guy is officially 31+, looks chubby, therefore might not last long - his next drop of form might be his last. But, more than individuals, it's a failure of the system - guy should have been in PAK A at sometimes in 2009-10 when he had couple of great domestic seasons and in Test team within 1-2 years. If not 2009-10, may be in 2013-14, when he had another peak, still officially at U25 - those were the times when Inzi, Mickey or Sarfraz weren't there, but some other people in charge and they did exactly same thing - invested a decade to make a Test opener out of Hafeez ... now Hafeez is replaced by Imam or Shan.
But but he's a geezer !
Abid has a 100% control percentage off 32 deliveries - just incredible
One thing for sure that you should pick batsman in form - Abid had a great domestic season and the confidence, the touch is oozing in his presence. He might be caught out later once better managed teams have enough footage of his batting, but he started with a bang for sure.
Abid scored a 140 against England Lions ina 50 over match - England Lions had 3 international bowlers (including Mark Wood)
Another promising talent unearthed by Pakistan's greatest ever selector. A shame that Mickey did not give him his debut earlier though.

Just wait for these 2 matches before selecting him for wc.
Lol we are mentally minnows
Let's see how he plays against spin
Harris Sohail should have been the senior partner in this partnership guiding and helping the newbie, instead it looks like Harry is on debut![]()
That’s stupid. What makes you so sure that would’ve been the case? Inzi introduced a lot of new players indeed but had the benefit of PSL. He hasn’t done anything remarkable. Most of the players introduced have been mediocre at best as it is.
Mickey is truly worse coach in terms of his eye for the talent... Hopefully we get rid of him regardless of the outcome of WC19.
But his technique is stable, he's not playing hack shots. Guys with good technique always do well.
He's held back Umar Akmal, Junaid Khan, Haris Sohail and a few others. Hopefully, he has seen the error of his ways.
Yeah I do but it could also be a sign that Imam is definitely going to England and Mickey wants to select the third opener so that’s why Abid Ali and Shan Masood are playing today.
Man if we lose it will be because of Rizwan's drops and Haris Sohail's innings.
Well, you can call it whatever you want but the fact is that all these promising new players have been given their break by Inzamam-ul-Haq.
Anyone else and Kamran Akmal would be opening with Ahmed Shehzad.
A batsman scores on three aspects - 1. his technique, 2. his experience, 3. his physical abilities - eye sight, hand-eye, muscle power. At his age, he has very little experience at highest level, he is officially 31, so his physical attributes won't last long; only technique can't carry him long.
Abid should have played the first two games as well. Imam has been a lock for the WC for some time now.
