Pakistan vs World XI | 2nd T20I | Gaddafi Stadium | 13 Sep, 2017 | Pakistan Innings

[Syed1]

im here to stay boys...

Allah mian kis gunna ki saza hai yeh

 

[Hasan123]

The prime to coverage is really poor today.

 

[Syed1]

Despite those two boundaries Shezzy sahab is 10 off 12

 

[Plumb]

It might be a unpopular opinion on this forum but I think Shehzad can be a decent player in ODIs and test if he can improve his footwork and strike rotation.

In t20s , I would prefer to give someone else a go.

enough time been given for this.. time to move on

 

[Hasan123]

T20 is the worst format to play Shehzad. I would bring in Sahibzada Farhan instead.

Yeah he can if he does but it has been years since he has been playing pro cricket not sure if the adjustments will be made now

Yes because of his poor attitude early in his career it will be difficult to make such adjustments now.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

The prime to coverage is really poor today.

Agreed, the sound is pathetic.

 

[Plumb]

Is shehzad trying to prove that he can rotate strike? by nudging singles in PP of a T20 ..SMH

 

[Taaya]

Ahmed Shehzad has definitely improved his strike rotation. He is able to now tap the ball into gaps and take those quick singles early now. He has to find that boundary hitting ability back in order to play T20. I think he can be good in ODIs with this new ability to rotate strike. He was always a decent Test player.

 

[Hasan123]

enough time been given for this.. time to move on

If he's moved on I won't complain but Inzi seems to want to give him a run.

 

[Firebreaker]

Despite hitting 3 fours in quick succession his SR is still run a ball

 

[Syed1]

Bhai Badree ko hatao... he is confirming Shehzad's selection for the next two years

 

[Firebreaker]

Gone Fakhar

 

[Syed1]

Fakhar misses a straight one... aray yaar

 

[Hasan123]

A hack across the line and Fakhar is gone.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Was just about to post Shahzad putting pressure on Fakhar. And....

 

[Firebreaker]

A hack across the line and Fakhar is gone.

He's a hack anyways

 

[Abdul]

The wrong man gets out.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

He's a hack anyways

This so called "hack" won us a champions trophy.

 

[Plumb]

thats what I was afraid of... Badree is way too experienced trapped him. Fakhar needs to learn.. good knock by him but these are the things coach and management needs to work on.

 

[shaz619]

Yes because of his poor attitude early in his career it will be difficult to make such adjustments now.

The attitude now has improved still but I just think that it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks given that shehzad been batting same way for a while, not impossible but think its unlikely

 

[Syed1]

thats what I was afraid of... Badree is way too experienced trapped him. Fakhar needs to learn.. good knock by him but these are the things coach and management needs to work on.

It was an ugly swipe across the line because he was frustrated with the dot balls and lack of runs from the other end. Could happen to the best of them.

 

[Plumb]

Bailey bhai making some pak fans

 

[CanadianG00se]

The more Zaman plays the more team will figure him out. Tbh he is just a hack always trying to hack across the line.

 

[Firebreaker]

This so called "hack" won us a champions trophy.

One innings and people think as if he's Lara.

 

[Plumb]

true..

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Fakhar is another hack like shoumya Sarkar.

 

[Firebreaker]

RR was still over 9.No one can defend that ugly hoick

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Fakhar is another hack like shoumya Sarkar.

Both have the capability to dominate white ball cricket.
Wait and watch.

 

[Firebreaker]

Fakhar is another hack like shoumya Sarkar.

Soumya is a very elegant batsmen and good to watch unlike Fakhar who bats like Sohail Tanvir

 

[MMHS]

It might be a unpopular opinion on this forum but I think Shehzad can be a decent player in ODIs and test if he can improve his footwork and strike rotation.

In t20s , I would prefer to give someone else a go.

His biggest problem isn't technique - extremely selfish player, who has learned his tricks from Misbah era or maintaining a decent stats through "respectable" defeats. Every young player from that era got filtered out one by one - Umar, Jamshed, Maqsood .... this guy could figure out what was required to dodge the chopping block.

 

[Plumb]

Dont care if he is a hack as long as he scores runs and helps team don't mind. Same reason we ruined Fawad Alam because he has ugly stance, lad scores runs dont matter how.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

One innings and people think as if he's Lara.

It wasn't just one inning. Go back and look at the scorecards.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Shehzad with 10 dot balls in 17

 

[shah_1]

Ahmed Shehzad is incredibly poor. No way he deserves to play for Pakistan

 

[Slog]

It might be a unpopular opinion on this forum but I think Shehzad can be a decent player in ODIs and test if he can improve his footwork and strike rotation.

In t20s , I would prefer to give someone else a go.

Whenever Shehzad is playing T20s he becomes a decent player in Tests and ODIs

And when he's playing ODIs he bricked a good players in t20s and tests

When he's playing tests he is a good limited overs format player

 

[shaz619]

Pak fans are hilarious with the criticism directed at Fakhar, owning India and playing gem after gem in the CT didn't get him a long rope from fans it seems. Bring back Imran Farhat yo!

 

[Syed1]

Crowd trolling him by chanting "selfie selfie"

 

[Hasan123]

He's a hack anyways

No he isn't .

 

[Firebreaker]

It wasn't just one inning. Go back and look at the scorecards.

In other matches there wasn't even one proper cricketing shot and his sixes were off miscues

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Partially Shahzad has been brought in because of Sherjeel is no longer available for selection.

 

[shaz619]

Whenever Shehzad is playing T20s he becomes a decent player in Tests and ODIs

And when he's playing ODIs he bricked a good players in t20s and tests

When he's playing tests he is a good limited overs format player

Waqar Younis was praising him on commentary yesterday Maybe that will change your outlook etc

 

[JibranAnsari]

Haha shehzad being shehzad.

 

[Hasan123]

Whenever Shehzad is playing T20s he becomes a decent player in Tests and ODIs

And when he's playing ODIs he bricked a good players in t20s and tests

When he's playing tests he is a good limited overs format player

Lol sad but true.

 

[Slog]

Pak fans are hilarious with the criticism directed at Fakhar, owning India and playing gem after gem in the CT didn't get him a long rope from fans it seems. Bring back Imran Farhat yo!

He isn't improving his game every month like Sharjeel was though but let's hope for the best

 

[mmkextreme_1]

In other matches there wasn't even one proper cricketing shot and his sixes were off miscues

Again go back and review the innings and scorecards. If there "wasn't even on proper cricketing shot" then you don't know anything about cricket.

 

[Firebreaker]

Dibbly Dobbler Collingwood bowling

 

[Syed1]

Shehzad playing a good ODI innings. Bobby giving him good company in doing so.

 

[Slog]

Waqar Younis was praising him on commentary yesterday Maybe that will change your outlook etc

No it won't.

You can keep supporting and forgiving Shehzad who Arthur keeps on playing

 

[Syed1]

Again go back and review the innings and scorecards. If there "wasn't even on proper cricketing shot" then you don't know anything about cricket.

We already know that.

 

[Red Devil]

These fans were asking for Babar's head as well before the last game.

 

[Syed1]

3(7) by Bobby yet no criticism... weird

 

[Firebreaker]

No it won't.

You can keep supporting and forgiving tripe like Shehzad who Arthur keeps on playing

Waqar also played him in WC,T20 WC and God knows how many other matches

 

[Syed1]

4 runs of Collingwood's over

 

[Plumb]

Shehzad unable to hit a retired cricketer Brilliant...

 

[Extra_Cover]

One innings and people think as if he's Lara.

No he isn't Lara, he actually is a match winner in a championship final

 

[Rayyman]

Slow start.

Take some risks boys there is plenty of batting.

If a wicket falls now you should bring in Sarfraz.

 

[Slog]

Waqar also played him in WC,T20 WC and God knows how many other matches

That's tells how much knowledge you actually have

 

[Hasan123]

No it won't.

Same Arthur who the CT with Shehzad in the squad lol.

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Soumya is a very elegant batsmen and good to watch unlike Fakhar who bats like Sohail Tanvir

Shoumya has no footwork and limited techniques

 

[Firebreaker]

No he isn't Lara, he actually is a match winner in a championship final

Oh and he's better than Bradman as well because he had 0 centuries in ODI

 

[Extra_Cover]

Shehzad is playing a selfish innings again, if Babar does not accelerate like last match then these two could ensure we don't cross 175

 

[Plumb]

Babar not cut for t20. I still thinks he should stick to only ODIs and tests

 

[Hasan123]

Shehzad is struggling to find the boundary

 

[MMHS]

In other matches there wasn't even one proper cricketing shot and his sixes were off miscues

His FC & List A scores are far better than hack - may be unconventional, but effective. Most English & Indian batsmen learn batting from proper coaching following MCC Manuel - high elbow, steady head, toe in line, side ways stance....... , but the Aussies & West Indians were far more effective, so were PAK batsmen, when they developed the mental aspect of batting in Counties - unconventional, but put in a tight street fight, there was none better than Javed.

Someone coming from outer world will start thinking that Steve Smith is there for his leg spin - key for batting is balance & foot, hand, eye position at the point of contact; doesn't matter if it looks cramped.

 

[Markhor]

4 runs of Collingwood's over

Collingwood has always been crazily fit, still plays county cricket for Durham and performs at a good level.

Think he toured Pakistan with England in 2005.

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Shahzad needs to get a move on.

 

[Slog]

Same Arthur who the CT with Shehzad in the squad lol.

Yes Shehzad was the man of the tournament I guess?

 

[Extra_Cover]

Oh and he's better than Bradman as well because he had 0 centuries in ODI

I said he is match winner in a championship final, something you cant deny and something you cant take away from him. Live with it.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Shehzad knows if he scores 25 his place is secured

 

[Firebreaker]

Poor innings from both the players

 

[Syed1]

Bobby sahab 4(9)... not a single post of criticism yet.

 

[coy0607]

Ramiz has the ICC security chief on air and he isn't asking him anything of substance

he just keeps babling his own thoughts / opinions

 

[Slog]

Collingwood has always been crazily fit, still plays county cricket for Durham and performs at a good level.

He's not international level anymore. Well tbf even in his heyday he wasn't a period 10 over bowler

But perhaps at Thishara level

 

[JibranAnsari]

Shehzad needs to be kicked , he is so limited and selfish.

 

[Firebreaker]

Yes Shehzad was the man of the tournament I guess?

Shahzad played only one match whereas in WCs with Waqar he played all matches lol

 

[mmkextreme_1]

Edged for four by Babar, much needed boundary

 

[shaz619]

He isn't improving his game every month like Sharjeel was though but let's hope for the best

When Sharjeel first came onto the scene he didn't last long, he was gone and then he returned under the current set up where he began to improve as you say. Fakhar on the other hand has his flaws but despite that came into the team and helped his country win the CT, there are flaws but he is hardly a hack and one of the mentally strongest blokes I have ever seen play for pak in recent times amongst the top order. This is a T20 as well, people need to tone down their criticisms given what he has displayed in the recent past, I'd take him as he stands over any opener in pak. But with more experience hopefully he will get even better but folk need to put things into perspective

 

[Plumb]

Babar is not a t20 player.

 

[Syed1]

Ramiz has the ICC security chief on air and he isn't asking him anything of substance

Kasam se... somebody shut him up

Imran Tahir yet to bowl, this doesn't look good
