Pakistan vs Australia | 3rd T20I | Dubai | Oct 28, 2018 | Pre-Match Discussion Thread

[Gotham Cronie]

Do we give the following a go in the XI?

• Sahibzada Farhan
• Hussain Talat
• Usman Khan Shinwari
• Waqas Maqsood

Note that the first T20I vs New Zealand is three days after.

 

[Da_Future_Knick]

Farhan in for Hafeez
Talat in for Malik
Waqas in for Hassan

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Farhan for Babar
Talat for Hafeez
Shinwari for Hasan
Waqas for Faheem

Ideally Sarfraz and Malik should not play too.

 

[gazza619]

We absolutely need to keep the momentum going. Not too many changes needed. Fakhar has to play to get back his touch. Hafeez is in form and should continue to play as well.

We dont want 2-1, we want 3-0.

Talat for Hafeez.

No point selecting Farhan for one T20 before dropping him, and he isn't going to make it over Fakhar and Babar any time soon, nor is he getting an ODI debut. Talat to come in for Hafeez, as potentially as a batting allrounder he could make the ODI team at 7.

Tempted to try Shinwari but maybe best to give another game to Hasan. Let Hasan, Shaheen and Faheem perform as a unit again and see how they do. Hasan needs to get back in form quickly despite looking a bit better today, Shaheen is awfully low on experience for someone potentially making the world cup squad. And I'd like Faheem being given responsibility as 3rd pacer. Bringing in Shinwari will disturb things I think, especially since Junaid will like come in for ODIs anyway, and Shinwari a bit like Farhan will play one T20 before being dropped again. No point.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Waqas Maqsood in for Hasan Ali.
Farhan in for Babar Azam
Husain Talat in for Hafeez(maybe)

[Asif321]

Waqas and Farhan should play

 

[Ahmed216]

I dont see hafeez and malik playing in 2020 WC so their potential replacements must get more chances now.
Bring in Farhan and Talat for both

 

[Justcrazy]

If anyone is given a chance , should be given a proper chance.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Give chances to the benched players. Farhan and Waqas should play on Sunday.

 

[Abdullah]

The only thing we need to change is to give proper batting time to those who are normally our lower order bats. We love to judge them but they hardly get to face many balls and need to hit from the get go
So I would go
Farhan
Babar
Sarfaraz
Asif
Faheem
Imad
Hasan
Shadab
Shinwari
Shaheen
Waqas

This line up gives more responsibility to the top order.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Maybe Waqas OR UKS in for Hasan. That's about it. And Sarfraz needs to play at 4-5.

 

[moghul]

Agree lets go for the kill lol

NO, lets share what we kill.

 

[ShahidDar08]

01. Fakhar Zaman

04. Sarfaraz Ahmad (wk & C)
05. Hussain Talat
06. Asif Ali
07. Fahim Ashraf

[fluke]

Agree with this.

 

[nextover666666]

NO, lets share what we kill.

In this world if you want to stay on top you must go for the kill lol

 

[Ummii]

No Talat please

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan management is reluctant for any changes. This has denied pakistan to have a solid bench strength.

 

[Rayyman]

I don't think bits and pieces TTFs like Hafeez and Malik have any place in our teams. Kick them out. Useless.

Play this XI:
1. Sahibzada Farhan
2. Fakhar Zaman
3. Babar Azam
4. Sarfraz Ahmed*+
5. Asif Ali
6. Imad Wasim
7. Faheem Ashraf
8. Hasan Ali
9. Shadab Khan
10. Shaheen Shah Afridi
11. Usman Khan Shinwari
