Wow Hafeez is the most luckiest cricketer in the whole world. He just won Pakistan a toss in comparison with Misbah he can simply tie his shoes.
 
Why's everyone going on about Faf being captain? He's the permanent captain of the T20 side..
 
Hafeez won the toss, he will see that as enough of a contribution for the rest of the game.

*sigh* I guess even Hafeez doesn't have to balls to keep the oldies out.
 
I think they have chosen the worst team they could have picked from the squad
 
Tanvir over Junaid. Irfan still playing. Hasn't rested. Irfan to get injured. Mark my words.
 
Please tell me I'm wrong. Are there 8 bowlers for Pakistan?

Eight!?
 
What a woeful selection. If razzaq is playing wth is the need for tanvir??

This is a bloody joke
 
I am perfectly fine with Tanvir playing over Junaid. He is a better T20 bowler than him.

I had Junaid in my preferred lineup because I want both him and Tanvir to play a game each. However, if Tanvir does better than Irfan today, Irfan should make way for Junaid in the next game.

People really need to stop treating Junaid like Mohammad Amir. He is nothing special.

They left out Junaid Amin Jamshed.

Junaid is a mediocre T20 player.

Jamshed is horribly out of form.

Amin just sucks.

Needless to say I disagree.
 
Pretty much everyone in that team is a regular part-timer except shehzad and UA
So i would say 9 bowlers.

Even Shehzad is good enough to be considered part time! That would make everyone barring the keeper a potential bowler!

today we have decided to play a T20 playing XI comprising of 4 full-time bowlers, 2 bowling all-rounders, 2 batting all-rounders and 2 part-timers. I guess when you have Hafeez as your captain, you are inclined to pick as many players like yourself.
 
WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE AGAINST TANVIR? :facepalm: He's a good t20 bowler

Junaid is PP's golden boy, someone who can escape criticism in spite of averaging 53 vs SA in the Test series and hasn't done anything of note for almost a year.
 
Soo many bowlers For twenty overs. Irfan should have been rested. Cant play him in all three formats.

Seriously.... Do you even follow cricket?

Sohail Tanvir has 25 wickets in 32 matches at an average of almost 30 and economy of over 7/over. That average is not even acceptable in One Dayers.

And he has only 2 wickets in his last 6 T20 matches. Is that what's considered good in pakistan these days?

He works hard bro, fighting young lad. He'll bounce back Inshallah :moyo

I like the kid

And you are his official criticizer who criticizes him for no apparent reason at all. :misbah:misbah:misbah:misbah anyway rather then playing soo many bowlers. one should have been dropped for a batsmen.

I agree with you on T20s. He averages 45 with ER of 9 in this format but in other two forms he is good.
ODI average is fantastic at 23 and decent test average of 29 despite playing most games on flat wickets.

I think this is a good team from what we have. Can we stop whining and support the team now?
 
Too many bowlers. Needed another proper batsman. Shezad and maqsood are the only genuine batsmen in the team.
