There is no denying that both are not outstanding bowlers, but they are handy. And their batting capabilities can win us matches.

Aamer Yamen seems to be a strong nerved man, he can swing the new ball and in some conditions his bowling can give us benefit too.

We can not find Ben Stokes or Abdur Razzaq or Azhar Mehmood from the day one. If Pakistani think tank give these 2 kids more encouragement and am sure with their hard work both can be permanent member of our squad.

From my point of view, Aamer Yamen has more potential to become permanent and important member of this squad.

I hope our management will not waste these 2 kids.
 
I would prefer Yamin in Tests and Faheem in LOIs, but wouldn't mind them both due to their performances today. I think Yamin can add batting depth and be a better player than Amir who is mediocre.

No fahim should stay while Nawaz can come in for imad,,u cant afford too many all rounders and will not win if ur top 5 does not perform.
 
The Pakistani batting line up looks totally different when you have depth all the way to No 10. Even Nawaz looked devastating with the bat.
 
Our 6, 7, 8 and 9 should be Shadab, Faheem, Yamin and Nawaz. We need a proper off spinner in our side to complement Shadab and Nawaz fits the bill.
 
Fahim is the one who can actually put in a respectable bowling shift, Yamin's bowling is not even mention worthy, it is purely detrimental, I'll evaluate him as almost a pure batsman if he wants to get a shot. Fahim is a genuine allrounder.

This should be our bowling lineup in all conditions. Wow wow wow look at the tail how deep it is.
 
Pakistan have All-rounders Galore at the moment:
Yamin, Faheem, Shadab, Nawaz, Imad, Hasan (almost).

Talat, Agha, Khalid, Kashif, Asif Ali etc. aren't even in the team.

Not convinced that Yamin is what we need in LOIs, maybe we can give him a go in tests. However, Fahim Ashraf has been impressive and has tremendous potential. He needs to be playing every single game from now on.

I am tempted to try this combination for our next series:

1.)Fakhar
2.)Babar
3.)Haris
4.)Sarfraz+*
5.)Malik
6.)Hafeez
7.)Shadab

I am tempted to try Babar as an opener because he practically opens every game in any case. He is also weak against spin upfront, and he can be a good partner to Fakhar's aggression.

Hafeez must bat at 6 to add any value to the team, ideally needs to clear his action as soon as possible, otherwise, we need to seriously consider replacements for him.

Amir needs to be told that he does not have a permanent spot in the team, and I think he needs to be dropped and told that he needs to start taking wickets, he is NOT a defensive bowler. He takes his spot in the team for granted.

The way you are giving leeway to the failing seniors; you should apply for the job of national selector. You'll get it in an heart beat.
 
Watching them today, I am not sure either of them are good enough with the ball to warrant a place in the side. Maybe Ashraf can be one day, but Imad Wasim should easily slot back in when he returns.

Imam and Azhar - brilliant opening partnership... for Tests.
 
It was good to see Yamin & Nawaz playing today. The seemed handy with the bat and with the ball. Faheem seemed to have bowled decently today and batting was alright. All three need to improve in certain aspects of there game. But there real signs of potential there.
 
I don't ideally want them there, but just being realistic. We might as well accept that they aren't going anywhere until after the next world cup.

I think we are in with a chance of getting rid of Malik, a slight chance but it's still there. Hafeez though...

Malik was almost useless in CT and in this series also. Almost all of his good performances were against WI and SL last year. So dropping Malik is not a bad decision.
Hafeez only needs 1 fifty to seal his spot for the next few series, which is really annoying. He always gets 1 (or 2) fifty after playing tons of dots somehow and plays like crap in other innings.
 
Firstly, the bits i saw Yamim is a terrible bowler but Ashraf has something. If Yamim is going to play as batsman then he needs to bat in the top 5, because having lots of low quality/ average all rounders doesnt help to win games most of the time.
 
Faheem Ashraf and Fakhar Zamaan are the only six hitters in the team. Hassan ali is also one but he isnt really reliable. I am strictly talking about six hitters.
 
TBH, there is a lot to work with in the Pakistan team and I feel it can be made into a very strong ODI team. Just need to find the right combination and get rid of the wrong players
 
It’s sounds good to select all these players in the XI, but selecting too many all rounders can be worrying because all rounders don’t perform with the bat and ball every match. You need specialists for that.

ITs not about all rounders, or how many lefties are in the team now but their approach and fearless attitude.

Absolutely agree both Yamin and Fahim are crucial and required for our T20 team, if we want to win. With one more youngster Nawaz,they can change their fortunes.

Any TTF recall in this team including Shehzad would disrupt the combination of this team that somehow is managing well.
 
If Yamin and fahim are better batsmen than bowlers, why not play one of they up the order, in place of hafeez/ malik, this way we can get another reconised bowler in the team
 
Teams with lots of bits and pieces players rarely do well. Yamin and Fahim should fight for one spot and from what we have seen of Yamin he is a gully mohallah level bowler. Fahim I'm thoroughly impressed with, specially how he flipped a switch and started bowling at 140 clicks. lol

They can play together.

Yamin is a batting allrounder and Faheem is a bowling allrounder.

In an ideal world that would happen, but in Pakistan Cricket seniority is more important than performance.

Yamin can easily replace Hafeez or Malik in the team, and he can be the 6th bowler.
 
Was watching the full innings of last 10 overs of Pakistan, Yamin batted a lot slow the way he does in domestics. He and Faheem should've played regular T20 game, but it was all down to Faheem and Nawaz to hit whereas Yamin conserved his wicket and batted with 100 strike rate while Faheem and NAwaz did the heavy lifting. Yamin held back his game a bit, probably thought the match is over. If Yamin would've played more shots, when partners Fahim and Nawaz were with him, Pakistan would've won this match.

Yamin should remain in the squad but we don't need more selfish knocks, Nawaz and Fahim should play in the team with Yamin contesting both of them in the same squad.
 
Faheem is on another level to Yamin.. he will cost us many matches with his bowling.
 
Fakhar, Maqsood, Haris, Babar, Sarfraz, Talat, Fahim, Shadab, Amir, Hasan, Shaheen. Take that to the flat pitches of ENG for the 19' WC.

Nice nice I put the same XI :faheem
 
Our lower order is pretty strong + Haris being dependable.

But we can only afford 1 or at most 2 batsmen like Haris who take their time. Barring Fakhar we need a stable opener, either a more dynamic #3 or the current one to return to form, and a better keeper batsman which we have none.
 
I like Fahim a lot, but Yamin looks a bits and pieces cricketer

I've only seen Yamin in 1 game, surprised people are so high on him

All-rounders are vital in the modern game.

Ours are quality, too.
 
Absolutely should be persisted with. Like England did with hales and Roy when they were averaging 20-25 in their first 20-25 games
 
With the way our Pak batting is doing these days, both Fahim and Yamin, along with Nawaz and Shadab can play as all rounders. They do better than the specialist batsmen anyway! And after Imad comes back, even he can be fit in the middle order as an accumulator as he will do no worse than Hafeez or Malik and possibly play faster.
 
I’ve advocated for Yamin since 2016. He needs a good run.

Faheem shouldn’t only be “persisted” with...he’s a shoe in for every game in the World Cup! He is a massive key for us in the World Cup! 😊
 
This is very good team but I think sahibzada should be opening partner of fakhar and the so called seniors like Hafeez ,Azher,Malik should be kicked out for ever and the young guns like Talat should be there in middle order ,Nawaz should be there in place of Imad
 
I rate them both. Outside of Asia, both should be in the 11 and one should open with Zaman and one in the lower order. That way we can have a quick start and a quick finish.
 
It’s easy to come in and slog a few when the game is already over and the opposition has already taken it for granted.

None of the players seemed to have calculated their approach...they just swung blindly and got a few their way, a little bit of calculation and sensible batting would have ensure Pakistan winning.

You guys are reading too much into this lol.

When Faheem and Yamin were batting together, 100 were needed off the last 10 overs with three wickets in hand.

They did a pretty good job to finish just 15 short with an over to spare. If Rumman didn't get out, there was an outside chance of pulling it off.

It seems you havent watch the match. The match which i was watching was not over and the NZ didn't take it easy. And none of the Yaamen shots were BLIND he was playing proper strokes.

The very fact that the no X1 went for a slog when he was batting with an allrounder at the other end shows his cricket awareness and on the other hand the other batsman should have gone and talked to him..so that he could have gone for it in the last over,that shows his awareness too.

I didn’t see one proper shot and taking quick 1-2s...only 1s and 2s came where off mistimed slogs and yes they are good strikers of the ball so when they connected they got the most out of it,I will give them that.

There are plenty of other things that go along to be a good cricketer than just being a good striker of the ball.
 
I would go with this team for now.

1) Shehzad
2) Fakhar
3) Babar
4) Haris
5) Sarfraz (not ideal but no other option for now)
6) Yamin
7) Faheem
8) Nawaz
9) Amir
10) Hassan
11) Junaid

Bowling depth would be great with 5 pacers and 2 spinners whilst batting depth is good too
 
We can’t really judge from just one match. The pitch for the 5th ODI was quite good for the batsman so they need to bat similarly on different type of pitches. 20-30 runs is not a good trade for average bowling. Only one should play unless they both improve their bowling.
 
Faheem is developing nicely. Really impressed with him. Want to see him given more chances with the bat. If we need to accelerate I would move him up the order.
 
I haven't seen anything from Yamin to be enthusiastic about. Doesn't have much pace, doesn't seem to get swing or do anything with the ball.

Faheem on the other hand is ok with the bat and will only get better and has contributed with a few wickets. He should definitely be a part of the team/squad. Not a regular but there to back up when needed.

You'd drop Shadab? And include Shehzad? Or is that a mistake (since you did say 2 spinners).

Its down to Shadab or Nawaz for the lone spinner spot for 2019 WC.

Choose your pick.

He's a shehzad f@nboy. Nawaz should be dropped for Yamin. Drop Amin for Hafeez. Hafeez comes off occasionally in T20s but Amin is a complete dud.
 
Fahim is the one who can actually put in a respectable bowling shift, Yamin's bowling is not even mention worthy, it is purely detrimental, I'll evaluate him as almost a pure batsman if he wants to get a shot. Fahim is a genuine allrounder.

I am tempted to try Babar as an opener because he practically opens every game in any case. He is also weak against spin upfront, and he can be a good partner to Fakhar's aggression.

Hafeez must bat at 6 to add any value to the team, ideally needs to clear his action as soon as possible, otherwise, we need to seriously consider replacements for him.

Amir needs to be told that he does not have a permanent spot in the team, and I think he needs to be dropped and told that he needs to start taking wickets, he is NOT a defensive bowler. He takes his spot in the team for granted.

I would say persist with Faheem but not too sure about Yamin.

So again i would say Yaamen > Faheem.

In terms of batting Yamen is >>> Faheem while in bowling Yamen is sometimes equal and sometimes better than Fahem.

I dont know why you people think that Yamen is some Gully Mohalla Player?

Hope today's performance can enlighten you people a bit.
 
Fahim and Yamin are equal in power hitting. Faheem has hit some devastating sixes of pacers in domestic cricket. He will showcase his hitting in devastating fashion in due course. Yamin is not far behind either. We have found our Abdul Razzaq and Azhar Mahmood.
 
They are different types of all-rounders. One is a bowling all rounder and the other is batting. They should both play now that hopefully Hafeez is gone.
 
Faheem Ashraf should be replaced with someone else, he is a horrible bowler and batting wise he is just a slogger.
 
Let them play few matches together and let compete with each other.
Soon we will find out who has the capability to perform better.

Today Yamin outperformed Faheem in both departments.
 
Yamin needs to increase his pace a bit. Will be a handful with his natural inswing.

Yahmeen chucks a bit, that’s how he is getting inswing, if he tries to gain more pace, with his body, chucking will go to a point that can be called.

Yahmeen is slightly better bowler, but his pace is not international standard, he is going to be whacked more often than not. His height is also a problem, Hasan is at least skidish with his pace.

I am hoping S Afridi comes soon to national team. Amir, Afridi and Hasan can be LOIs pacers, that can put good show most of the time. Others are not international material. Raees, Junaid or not there. Usman is good, but Afridi’s height has lot more potential.

Maybe an Unpopular opinion here but Faheem is not as good with the bat as most of the people think he is. Yamin on the other hand is definitely a good lower order batsman (better batsman than Faheem clearly).

Faheem is the better bowler of the two. Yamin, the better batsman of the two.

Both can play as bowling and batting allrounders.

Talat should be in the team to make both of them work even harder for their spot in the team.

S Afridi is good, but he is very raw. The bowling attack we have right now is good enough to go up against the best batting line-ups in the world. Hasan and Amir are world-class LOI pacers. Junaid was sorely missed throughout the ODI Series, he is very under-rated on here. Faheem, although got some stick today, is a good find as is Rumman Raees, who's a smart bowler. Yamin has to increase his pace, but he bowled tremendously well today to Guptill and co today. Usman will take a bit of time to make a comeback, so lets not talk about him now.

Shadab and Imad round up the spinners, with Nawaz joining them on turners. Not to mention, these bowlers are still young. Just look at their ages. They have a lot of learning to do still.

Faheem is a dangerous batsman. Just look at some of the sixes he has hit of pacers in domestic cricket. He will show it in international cricket, it is a matter of time.
 
Faheem was awful with the ball today but I still think he has a lot of potential. Excited by him, can be an exciting all rounder. No doubt Aamer Yamin was better than Ashraf today.
