Pakistan comprehensively demolish Zimbabwe by nine wickets in the second ODI to take 2-0 series lead

If only Sahibzada Farhan would have been in the squad he could have played couple of matches by resting Fakhar so we could have seen his ability at international level. :saslam
 
Any chance of Sharjeel coming back before World Cup? :misbah4

Still waiting to get "exposed against fast bowling due to his slow reflex"


And also "he will score more runs off his helmet since he will be slow on the pull shot"

A certain Bangladeshi poster has disappeared, just as Pakistan win the final and Bangladesh getting dismissed for 60 vs Windies. Sure it is a coincidence. :P

There is a possibility of that happening. Depends on the result of the elections. I think his ban ends just a couple of months after WC, he might be given a little leeway by PCB for "good behaviour" :afridi

fingers crossed
 
A cool 30 not out for Bobby would also be handy for him to get back in the thick of things since injury

Nope.His ban ends after the World Cup.Since it’s a 2.5 year ban and he was banned in Feb 2017

I thought it was backdated from the time of his suspension.

In any case, I don't think he is coming back.
 
I will not watch the next match if pak do not make atleast 3 changes resting amir, malik
 
Great 100 Fakhar... keep it up. I would really like to see next game another century in 70 balls.

He is determined and looks solid. He has developed a good defense which means he 'll be looking to get a test 100 soon.:salute
 
Does anybody remember the WC game against Ireland?

Where Umar Akmal defended with the target in sight to let Sarfraz get his century and than Sarfraz defended to let Umar hit the winning runs?

Bobby's stat padding average will also normalize with this not out since he scored 30 odd in the last game. Need to keep that average up :ma

Yeah so WC is in June 2019. Feb 2017 + 2.5 years brings us to Aug 2019. I'm hoping he gets a 2 month reprieve and can play the WC.

Don't think he would be ready, he would have no match practice. Unless the PCB allow him to play domestic cricket..meaning that he would have to play towards the end of this year. I don't see this happening.

Yeah I think we will have Pakistan Cup in April after PSL.... so hopefully he plays that and then can be a squad option for the WC. It's a long tournament and I wouldn't mind if Sharjeel plays a couple of important matches while rested when we play lower sides like India.
 
Thanks to Fakhar we arent in such a desperate state where we have to somehow squeeze in Sharjeel before the WC starts. Besides there is no guarantee he will be the same player as he was before the ban. Especially considering that right before the ban he was on his way to improvement and not necessarily an established player.

Better to look for a reliable opening partner for Fakhar.
 
This is the level of Pakistan fans, celebrating 9 wicket wins with 15 overs to spare.

India and England would have won by 10 wickets, not celebrated and in 12 overs. [MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION]

Yep, everything is rainbows and unicorns in the other side of the border and in the land of our masters.
 
According to the presentation the lineup won't change in the next ODI, so boring, the only exciting part of this series was expecting to see youngsters like Shaheen flourish

How was that the exciting part of the series when there is no Shaheen (or any new youngster) in the ODI squad anyway :ssa

There is no exciting part of this series.
 
Great win. Everybody bowled well (at least on paper). Imam's SR was up and good to see Fakhar converting a big score. Just one more W and the series is ours.
:sarf
 
Why is every Pakistani so eager to have Sharjeel back in the team??

A year ago he was the cause of humiliation for Pakistanis. Why shud the ban be minimised?

Especially considering the current internal affairs of the country, where the whole nation's moral is high after the imprisonment of corrupt politicians. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth to even mention Sharjeel's name.

Technically except for Asif Ali, there are no new youngsters in the whole squad. So even if they were to drop Hasan and Fakhar they would have to select the likes of Junaid and Hafeez. I will let you decide which prospect is more exciting.

5 ODIs with Zimbabwe without any foresight. What a waste.

I was unaware and so it seems this is perhaps the biggest waste of time in the history of Pakistan cricket

See above post. It's easy to make accusations and defame people.

At least bother looking at my comment history before speculating as to my "agenda."

Unlike others I want to see the team succeed- if that means me being wrong so be it.

It was a general comment, not directed at you in particular.
 
You guys know what is most unfortunate about this Series is ..... it is a Five ODI Series .... Darn !!!!!
 
We desparately need Sharjeel If pakistan wants to have any chance in world cup..
Sharjeel can give quick starts and Fakhar can settle in.
Fakhar can cash in when spinners on while babar can settle in.
Pakistan cannot afford passengers in the team like Azhar, Imam or Hafeez
