Pakistan fans need to take a stand

[in_cutter]

We have been patient & loyal. Look at what we get in return.

Same old Pakistan. As soon as Hafeez walked in to bat ahead of Babar, I switched off. Sarfaraz was touted to change things...to bring aggression & fairness. Instead, the goal is to keep seniors happy..a cancer that has been forever present in Pakistan cricket. I don't blame Sarfaraz (unlike Misbah haters).

Bombard PCB twitter in protest. Write letters. Enough is enough.

 

[Hamza_]

Don't know why these guys consider Hafeez some Bradman. A club level cricketer

 

[silentkiller187]

Pak fans need to calm down, Babar is the future fair enough but Hafeez's best performances have come at no. 3. If he is in the team than that is were he should but, plus he is out of form so the longer innings will benefit him more than Babar.

What kind of logic is this?? Babar has been our best bat at #3 fgs!

stuff like this is the problem with Pakistan cricket

Is Professor some legend who needs to regain some form? Is babar some guy has failed at 3?

WHy should we accommodate seniors? Isnt the whole point of expereince that you know what to do and how to do it quickly?

We treat young players like seniors and seniors like youngsters. We will do everything in our power to accommodate a senior player even if he is bang average.

What happened to do was an absolute travesty

It sends a message that if you are a young player who has broken records and is already the best player in the team, it doesnt matter, being a senior is moire important

 

[silentkiller187]

Babar as good as he is struggles to rotate the strike just as bad as any other batsmen we have. He is a better strokemaker so will be better of coming at the death were pakistan have really struggled recently.

Shocking posts

Check Babar's stats. He is proper batsman..not a finisher!

I have never wanted to delete a PP post manually by using an eraser. Until now.

 

[silentkiller187]

hes a better finisher than hafeez, hafeez is in the team whether we like it or not so no point wasting deliveries closer to the end of the innings when momentum is needed, lets stop blaming sarfraz aswell, this is a joint decision made more than likely by mickey , sarfraz inzi and the rest of the support staff.

Ofcourse the decision is made by some of these guys. Who else is left?

Bro bro ) you need to calm down. You are one of my favourite posters here. Dont want you to have a high bp. i know this is infuriating .

 

[Syed1]

Mr. Hafeez you should concentrate on your batting rather than posting on PP.

pakpassion where i vent my frustations, believe it or not im generally pretty calm when im watching a game lol

i was actually semi serious, fear not guys Bradman is on his way to the crease.

 

[Speedster777]

They're all spineless and dishonest this sifaarshi senior culture has destroyed our cricket.

 

[in_cutter]

Good to see commies have picked up on our concerns!

 

[Abdullah]

only room for one batsman like this in a team and that man is babar. we have malik who can do this if required too. everybody else should play with more risk

 

[silentkiller187]

If hafeez had played that innings he would have been villified. Ofcourse his hype train left the station long time ago. And this is not a dig at baber i just enjoy watchn cricket with an impartial unbias view

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hafeez is a disaster.Should be forced to retire.

Ok.

Ok.

Do you beg to differ? If so please elaborate, the decision was made by the pak management get over it and back the team

Oh,I back the team all right,and I'll keep doing it until the day I die.But you're saying that if Hafeez played the way Babar was playing,he would have been vilified,that's what made me laugh.He was clearly playing worse than Babar and Babars form is also much much better.

Hafeez has done nothing in the recent past to get to bat at 3.Meanwhile Babar has been excellent.

I understand and agree where you are coming from dont get me wrong. But Baber played a similar innings to hafeez today and gt out cheaply. Not because he was btting in the wrong positiom. Because if that was the case he isn't as good as everyone makes him out to be..quality players adapt to a situation. And babar is quality but im not gonna jump on any hype train yet, i learned that with ahmed shezad umar akmal et all

 

[godzilla]

lots of eggy faces after the chosen one has continued his descent from god status....

give me one good cricketing reason why babar should be pushed to 4 to accomadate professor, how does it help our cricket going forward ?

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Hafeez can get a double here and I'll still be disgusted at this move. How can you demote your best ODI batsman who got 3 tons in a row against this team

 

[in_cutter]

How many Hafeez scores is not the point here. Even the commies are baffled as to why he was promoted above Babar.

 

[Major]

ends up scoring 88

i think the thread should had been locked after this reply.


OP, look at the end of the day, Hafeez scored runs which other so called better batsmen couldn't score, so you cant justify him being dropped after such performance

I dislike Kamran AKmal, but he has performed and cant be dropped in the next game

I don't care if he had scored 300. The point was that it is disgusting how Hafeez is being accomodated at the expense of our best #3.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

People defending this deserve this number 8 ranking that we have. Absolutely no vision. Babar is the best batting prospect to come out of Pakistan in years and has had a brilliant start to his ODI career at 3. How can you demote him for this mediocrity who always scores against these weak teams?

 

[godzilla]

personally I wouldn't have had hafeez in the side, foremost on form. but throwing your toys out this far from the pram, on a one position difference in batting order is unwarranted, it hardly makes a difference.

if anything, most likely they were probably giving license to the openers (which Shehzad predictably failed miserably at), then hafeez to stabilise in order to protect Babar and give him the easier time with the shine off the ball, and second tier bowlers to play. whether thats right or not doesn't really matter, what does is that there is no world of difference between 3 and 4.

 

[Moiza]

Pakistani fans showing the same lack of manners as their players, no respect for Sir hafeez, buzurg players always deserve the no 3 spot!

Well said sir, exactly the point i was trying to make.. Babar had a good 20 to 25 overs to bat and still played a replica innings to Hafeez

I throw my toys out the pram because of the message this sends . You as a young player can be doing great , coming of 100 in Aus your last odi and yet still be dropped down for a person averaging in there 30s who has failed in forgein conditions his whole career and against good bowling attacks.

Now we will be stuck with professor at 3 let alone him being in the team and come the CT we will all know the difference that makes.

Plus I find it remarkable that a poster as smart as you would say there is little difference between coming in at 3 or 4

 

[Hasan123]

Nothing we can do other than get behind the team

Honestly he should pick up and leave. Hate these 35 years old so much.

 

[Watsupdoc]

Why would you move a person who scored so many centuries at number three against this opposition for Hafeez?

ill take that compliment thank you very much.

in this format, I really do think theres very little difference. we don't know what the conversations have been behind the scenes, we don't know whether Babar had asked for it, or was happy with it. what I think we can take as granted is that whether we agree with the decisions or not, I think the team thick tank is desperate to win this series to qualify - so they will be doing whatever they think genuinely gives them the best chance of winning, I don't think the decisions will be based on favouritism or 'senior culturism'.

we don't know if babar's been given a message, and even in the worst case he was unhappy about it, all the better - if he's the player that so many here think he is, he ought to take that as further motivation and return some results rather than failing as he has pretty much this tour so far.

the squad is desperately short of batting talent, and theres loads of problems throughout all of it. I don't think this kind of tinkering makes any real difference, its like finessing 20 or 25% scores when you're 75-80% short of where you need to be.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Champions trophy, kami gets out early as he is liable to do, who do you want to come in next ?

Professor at 3 increases the chance of a collapse that's the difference.

Even for him its better down the order given his issues against seam and his relative proficiency against spin.

Plus even coming in after a good start babar is far better. He has work to do but he is striking at 90, even Professor v2 strikes at 80

 

[hadi123]

If it was babar azam who played the innings Hafeez did todaay he would not be getting this hate

 

[Abdullah719]

If it was babar azam who played the innings Hafeez did todaay he would not be getting this hate

Is Babar a 36-year-old batsman who repeatedly keeps failing against every decent bowling attack he comes up against whilst looking like Bradman against weaker teams?

 

[Speedster777]

Honestly he should pick up and leave. Hate these 35 years old so much.

they're the real culprits responsible for our decline

 

[PakLFC]

What will happen if Pak fans don't take a stand? Nothing. We will still continue to watch hoping for the best results. It is not as if Pak play many Sports that we can support them at something else.

 

[silentkiller187]

No posts on Babers innings today? or praise for Hafeez.
