[PICTURES] Sarfaraz Ahmed squashes rumours of rift with Hasan Ali [Update Post #166]

[Hamstead_joy]

Hasan Ali is my favorite player but an incident happened which hurts out team morale badly.
An incident took place in the 15th over when Hasan came into bowl.He bowled a half volley to Wheeler [going at a good strike rate]. Wheeler sliced it over extra cover for four, which rattled Sarfraz and he ran to Hasan Ali angrily complaining. Nothing new as Sarfaraz has been taskmaster against all bowlers Rumman or Faheem before him, as he was desperately trying for a win.



Hasan did an 'ignore' and looked the other way when Sarfaraz was scolding. Hasan behaviour was wrong but the issue is'nt about this mishap only. Next ball he bowled which crashed into Wheeler's stumps. Hasan Ali gave a really pathetic 'glare' towards the captain.






In our culture, this is not a small thing as Sarfaraz was taken aback and brought in the team huddle. Initially I did'nt look into it but when I saw it again realized this is massive breach for our culture. Most former cricketers also not happy with this and have said its not good for the team if this is ignored. Wasim Akram or Imran Khan would not have tolerated this at all. Hasan Ali would definitely have been warned but this is definitely a disciplinary breach and should be looked into. Pakistani players have been difficult to handle by most captains minus Imran Khan who used to remove the person from the team forever if they misbehaved. For misbehaving with Azhar Mahmood, they threw Sohail Khan out of the team on one incident whereas this was televised and seen by millions.
Arthur and board should look into this.

 

[Sher Khan]

So your best bowler should be dropped for glaring at his captain after picking up a wicket? I don't see much wrong here TBH. It isn't as if Hasan Ali walked out of the park and refused to bowl after Sarfraz scolded him. He ran in and picked up a wicket. Although, I do think the scolding by Sarfraz is over the top at times.

 

[badsha001]

Not sure if trolling or not but Sarfraz should be banned for yelling at the players all the time....

 

[Slog]

Fame is getting into his head and if his attitude doesnt improve he'll end up being a 2-3 year wonder like many before him

 

[Sherlock]

Wait...in noway did he disrespect the captain. He was angry because he gave a boundary away. Sarfraz came running towards him to tell him to bowl in closer to the stumps.

Yes Hasan looked away, but for goodness sake it doesn't mean he needs to be dropped.

The celebration and look also isn't the first time he's done that either.

Goodness me. Some people add masala on top of nothing.

 

[DRsohail]

Time to drop the captain not the bowler.

 

[Syed1]

Seems like fame is getting to his head

Ikr people like to make too much drama out of small things.

 

[shah_1]

Sarfraz needs to stop acting like a school headmaster.

 

[Abdullah719]

The incident was brought to an end after the team huddle. No need for so much dramatisation.

 

[Red Devil]

He's fast bowler, this sort of stuff happens in the heat of moment. No big deal.

Also, Sarfraz needs to calm down a little. Only puts extra pressure on the players with his constant yelling.

 

[Major]

Hassan ALi did the right thing there.

Sarfraz deserves this

 

[Pakpak]

Looks like OP wants every youngster dropped. You already suggested Babar, now Hasan. Who next OP, maybe Shadab?

 

[Pakpak]

As for the topic, Sarfraz does go overboard but openly being rude to the captain isn't on.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

I actually think Sarfraz might not mind it. Himself being a hothead, he will probably be inclined to forget about it.

It's not the same as someone cold-bloodedly disrespecting him. Hasan was angry, and probably you don't get world-class fast bowlers who are calm, level-headed gentle type of people.

I think Sarfraz took it too far, but as long as both are ok with each other, there's no point making a huge issue of it.

 

[TalhaSyed]

As the commentators said at the time of the incident - there are not many teams where a captain who behaves the way Sarfarz does would last very long.

 

[Hedz]

Nothing wrong with it at all!
If it gets the best out of the players what’s wrong with it
No need to drop anyone

If anything it was in the heat of the moment and once the game is over all is forgotten and forgiven
But I doubt it even went to that extent

 

[Hermoine Green]

FIrst of all SIR. You need to check properly

After taking the wicket he wasn't glaring at the captain he was actually showing aggression to the batsman.

 

[babajee]

So you guys want timid chickens in the team like acha bacha Azhar Ali?

 

[dhonixi]

Sarfaraz don't need to tell bowler how to bowl after every second. These all are matured man. You can't behave like Headmaster with them

 

[Madplayer]

This attitude is great until he is performing. Sarfaraz needs to handle his men smartly. Thats about it.

 

[dauntless]

First of all so called aggressive captain needs to stop yelling at players.Sarfraz is culprit here not hasan.I would have reacted the same way as hasan did. "Fukri maar de ni par robh na kise da sehne aan" you reap what you sow

 

[MRSN]

Did you even watch the video? Sarfraz was like cursing him for getting hit for a four even though Hasan kept ignoring him but Sarfraz was not going back. This is pathetic from the skipper. I can understand a bit of glare but you walk to the bowlers and keep shouting at him until he reaches his run up it's pathetic man. This guy needs to really learn how to lead a side. This is no mohalla team. The game gets telecasted and millions of people are watching how he disrespect his team mates.

 

[Hasan123]

Well if so called aggressive captain is going to shout at players he needs to know to take it back as not every player is an acha bacha who will take it.

I don't see a major issue in this.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

This. Sarfraz has a habit of acting like a child lashing out at his own team mates.

Sometimes it can be too much to take.

 

[Abdul]

Lovely, lovely stuff from Hasan.

Sarfraz is just getting a taste of his own medicine.

 

[Abdul]

[MENTION=41587]Theo_14[/MENTION]

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

This is nothing but imagine what Shoaib would have done to Sarfaraz?

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Good to see 2 key players for PAK giving it their all on the field, you can expect tempers to fly in a high pressure environment. If it's anything more than that like the OP is sugggesting then Mickey, Sarfraz should have a chat with Hasan post-match. From my interpretation anyway, it seemed as though Hasan was frustrated by getting hit for 4 and walked back to his mark not in the mood to get a scolding from Sarfraz and the glare at the end was towards the batsman not Sarfraz. If he had started arguing with Sarfraz and insulting him then it would have been worthy of a reprimand but this looks an absolute non-issue. You can tell Hasan was just frustrated by how quickly he ran in for the next delivery. Both players have had tough tours, give it a break.

I'm a big fan of Sarfraz the captain but he needs to tone it down a bit. There's not a single captain in world cricket who behaves like he does and long term, this is gonna collapse on him. Forget this Hasan issue, The one I had a problem with was the Rumman Raees dropped catch. Yes, as the fans we want to see Raees be given a mouthful but this is the last thing a captain should be doing, that too on live TV. We've seen the English dressing room disintegrate because of bullying; this is something Sarfraz has to control if he wants to evolve as a captain.

 

[hisham_ashraf]

Lovely, lovely stuff from Hasan.

Sarfraz is just getting a taste of his own medicine.

Was about to say the same!

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Sarfraz has a bad habit of scolding his players like they are kids on the field.This sort of behavior is wrong and shouldn’t continue.Hassan also should not have ignored him btw.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

The other thing that's bothers me a bit is how Sarfraz picks and chooses who he's going to give a mouthful to. I've never him react this way with Amir, Shoaib, Hafeez or Azhar and to a younger player in the dressing room, that reeks of hypocrisy and is a huge risk factor for infighting.

He's a passionate guy and by far the best captaincy option but he can't continue to persevere with this component of his captaincy and not expect some players to get offended.

 

[MeanAndGreen]

Sarfraz has a bad habit of scolding his players like they are kids on the field.This sort of behavior is wrong and shouldn’t continue.Hassan also should not have ignored him btw.

They're grown men . He's not Hasan's father or teacher as you said. The guy was obviously frustrated and just went back to his mark. It's not like he was deliberately avoiding Sarfraz. I seriously don't think he's done anything wrong here and I would not have him react any other way. He's had a frustrating 3 weeks where we've lost match after match. He's getting a mouthful from his captain. Instead of showing poor body language and looking dejected, he went straight back to his mark, steamed in and cleaned the batsman up with a glare to boot.

 

[Nothing matters]

Nobody likes to get yelled at especially when being yelled by overweight non performing nobody.It's only a matter of time before someone shows him his place.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Don't know how much of it is actually true. Fast bowling is really difficult, it needs aggression, you can't simply be bubbly and hit a 155kph yorker. But yes, both need to be reprimanded and should curb their attitude.

 

[Nothing matters]

Sarfaraz don't need to tell bowler how to bowl after every second. These all are matured man. You can't behave like Headmaster with them

Exactly there job is to bowl.I would love the bowlers to tell sarfraz how to keep after he drops a catch.

 

[Pete Rose]

Would prefer not to take sides on this. Even if things went the way the did, water off a ducks back

 

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Are you guys the teletubbies?
This is what we are KNOWN for

The aggression of Mushtaq,IK,Wasim,Waqar,Miandad and now Sarfaraz and Hasan Ali

Pakistan cricket is incomplete without this attitude and it plays a key role in our success.

Fans have been brainswashed by the 'gentleman attitude' of the Misbah era that had led to nothing but humiliation.

 

[Madplayer]

Some very poor posts here from the gentleman acha bacha era brainwashed posters.

Sarfaraz and Hasan have a very good relationship off the field. I cant believe posters, Pakistani posters, are comparing Pakistan's dressing room with that of other teams knowing how the senior junior relationship works in Pakistan.

Wait till you hear from sarfaraz and Hassan himself and how its all about getting the best out of players on the field. Admit it or not, the danda approach is the only approach which works with Pakistani players.

 

[Syed1]

Hassan ALi did the right thing there.

Sarfraz deserves this

You lot would be frothing at the mouth if somebody did this to Misbah.


Sarfaraz wipes the floor with Misbah and this is something that is not acceptable to you lovers of Misbah. Sarfaraz has more achievements in his one year of captaincy than Misbah ever had.


Sit down and have some respect.

 

[yasir]

At the end of the day Sarfraz is terrible keeper and yells a lot at everybody, how long he can keep up with the respect part?? - They work like a close team, Khooris are mutual, Pakistanis are getting too sensitive.

 

[Zaz]

Well sarfarz has been warned for months If u go yelling and shouting at players all the time and only juniors eventually some of them are going to react

All hasan did was ignore him What was he supposed to do Look at sarfi and take a mouthful?

 

[Buffet]

Mountain out of a molehill.

 

[Greenstorm]

You lot would be frothing at the mouth if somebody did this to Misbah.

Sarfaraz should be a bit more carefull when it comes to dealing with fast bowlers, shouldn't he ?

 

[Syed1]

Sarfaraz should be a bit more carefull when it comes to dealing with fast bowlers, shouldn't he ?

Yes absolutely... and not just fast bowlers but every member of the team deserves respect.




However, to openly gesture against the captain is uncalled for. I remember once Afridi scolded Misbah during the latter's captaincy and all of PP was up in arms calling for his head. It's just that Sarfaraz is not liked by alot of people on here because of his region of origin and how he has belittled achievements of supposed saviours like Misbah and hence he gets a disproportionate amount of hate.

 

[MMHS]

Misbah’s achievements are quite big actually, it’s not even a comparison. That CT win can be comparable with Test No. ranking (I rate No. 1 ranked bg in Test much higher though). But, Misbah won ODI series in SAF, IND, won an Asia Cup, drew Test series in UK, won in NZ & SRL; and remained almost unbeatable in UAE (Test). Sarfraz lost his first series 0-2 against this Lanka side (I know, they got us for 82 and won inside 12 overs by 10 wickets).

What Sarfraz is doing will back fire and hurt him twice. When team is winning players do ignore many such things, but not when team is losing. This is actually 2nd time in this series - in 1st ODI Amir did something similar. None likes yelling when he is failing to meet expectations and more so when the guy doing it, is a bigger failure. On top of that, this guy does this selectively - if he chased his premier pacer like that for one boundary, then he should have grabbed MoHa’s collar after dropping that dolly.

Don’t think distracting the focus helps here - Misbah had his fair share of criticism, but guy was a perfect role model for National cricket Captain; this guy couldn’t come out of his club Captaincy. Even if Misbah was failure as Captain, doesn’t mean that his successor should yell selectively for being successful (apparently).

 

[MMHS]

Mountain out of a molehill.

No, it’s just the start. PAK was winning that game by then and players knew that - it won’t end in a mole if this is repeated when team is losing. Players look for a father figure from their Captain, not a thug boss. I am not sure if you know south Asian slangs, but I can tell you I have heard on my own ear even during nets Wasim using Ch.., BC, MC at random - but 3 things were there - 1. he did it to Razzak, but also to Waquar and I am sure had he been playing under Wadim, Imran would have got his share as well.

2. He did that on purpose. I can tell one story (forgot details) - he set field with Razzak (or Shoaib), taking squire leg out & putting a short cover - obviously asked the bowler to bowl short of length and incoming from way out side, so that batsman had to drive on back foot through covers. First ball was drifting down leg and batsman hit that straight to only inner leg fielder - Wasim at mid on. He grabbed that ball and threw it at full throttle to bowler, shouting “Chu....., behra keya, aakal ....”. I leave the translation for your imagination.

3. He was Wasim Akram, this guy is Sarfraz Ahmed.

 

[Theo_14]

100% support Hasan Ali here. Sarfraz is becoming toxic to the team.

 

[Mueez]

Looks nothing wrong to me...

 

[Zaz]

Yes absolutely... and not just fast bowlers but every member of the team deserves respect.

Sarfraz is the one that needs to get in line Its only natural that players will react or ignore him when they are treated like school children and scolded and shouted all the time for no reason

To get respect u need to give respect and not be a dictator We all know what happens to dictators eventually

 

[srh]

I am ok with both Sarfraz and Hasan showing aggression to each other. These two play best when they are aggressive.

 

[Bilal7]

They're probably joking and laughing with each other right now while you guys are cooking up stories. This is not the first time something like this has happened and it won't be the last. They're over it, you guys should do the same.

 

[Ocelot]

If Sarfaraz fired up Hasan Ali, the only competent player in the team, then he did a good job.

 

[Greenstorm]

Yes absolutely... and not just fast bowlers but every member of the team deserves respect.

I agree with you that Sarfaraz is getting too much hate due to this incident although I do not agree that this is because of his place of origin. Afridi and Hafeez\Akmal also get a lot of criticism while I admit that people love Misbah a bit too much in this forum. He is the reason for our low rankings in LOIs.

Sarfaraz will not change his ways. He has been like this since u19 days and that is the only way of captaincy he knows but no matter how much he yells or shout at his players, he will be always be a better captain then gentleman Misbah.

 

[proud_pakistani]

I did not see the incident but one thing in general is that I think Sarfraz is a poor man-manager. He gets too excited all the time and yells at players. Each player is different and will react to it differently. Some might take it, others will get angry while some will get upset. Its natural. Sarfraz needs to know how to deal with each of them. Continuous scolding at all the players is not going to go down well especially if he himself isnt performing.

 

[Abhilash93]

Why is he trying to micro-manage everything ?

These are grown men he is leading. I get it he is not a Dhoni-like deadpan guy but going upto your strike bowler after one boundary reflects poorly on his maturity.

 

[Gunner786]

Sarfraz is lucky hes not captaining shahid afridi, shoaib akhtar or inzamam ul haq. He would have been put on his butt long time ago

 

[sshakir411]

This is seriously a non-issue. Things are heated for these guys and I'm sure both are over it. Haven't you all played competitive sports before?

 

[Savak]

Lol, if someone like Sarfaraz loves to habitually loves to dish it out, he should learn to take it as well.

 

[ManFan]

Lol, if someone like Sarfaraz loves to habitually loves to dish it out, he should learn to take it as well.

He's Kaaptan. The rules don't apply to him.

 

[Savak]

The problem with all scolding will be paramount in game changing, high pressure, close situations. It will put too much pressure on the players, the team looks at the captain in these situations and if the captain is loosing it then it permeats to everyone else in the team. I have seen Sarfaraz lose many games because he wilted under pressure, where his bowling changes, field placements went for a toss and showed the body language of a defeated man.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Its called being competitive. Hasan didn't talk back but responded with a wicket.

 

[asadee]

Sarfi and Hasan are probably having chai together and laughing right now

 

[Bewal Express]

Poor captaincy and poor form from Hasan. Safraz needs to be careful, these are not school kids and he is not a teacher.

 

[MRSN]

Why is he trying to micro-manage everything ?

These are grown men he is leading. I get it he is not a Dhoni-like deadpan guy but going upto your strike bowler after one boundary reflects poorly on his maturity.

to seek attention of course and show everyone that he is the boss. He is giving impression that all the success Pakistan had is due to his pure magic wand. Really self centered guy. I could take it if he was himself a big player like Imran Khan but reality is he is a mediocre. This attitude just doesn't go well with him.

 

[MMHS]

Sarfaraz will not change his ways. He has been like this since u19 days and that is the only way of captaincy he knows but no matter how much he yells or shout at his players, he will be always be a better captain then gentleman Misbah.

LetÂ’s keep Misbah out of it.

There are one particular type of Captain, like Sarfraz - who sets own rule and stand on that. Like, Ian Chappell was.

Ian was summoned by ACB on a disciplinary hearing in front of Bradman and Chairman ACB - the hearing was against his attitude on field, his demand for higher payments for his players and corporate facilities for their family. ChappellI went to that meeting in jeans, tee shirt with a Foster can at hand. That hearing lasted few minutes - I am Ian Chappell, Captain of the best team in world and IÂ’ll run my boys the way I want them; if you are not comfortable- sack me.

So, ACB tried politics and tried to “fix” few other prominent players against him - one was DK Lillee. But, that plan failed before starting - DK was tried to “raise voice”. He told them that, i’ll Give my left arm for Ian, right I can’t because he’ll need that for me to bowl.

That was Ian Chappell, who knew one way to lead the side and had the material to back that. This guy is too ordinary for his fan boys boasting that heÂ’ll keep his captaincy the only way he knows - heÂ’ll simply get sacked. (Ian actually resigned, saying that iÂ’ll never give those jokers chance to sack me; one of them was , someone DG Bradman, a top executives of ACB then on cricket affairs).

 

[light]

I gotta support Ali here. For FS, if I made a mistake, I don't need the 'headmaster' to come down and shove it down my ears. All off you who is defending Safraz, you yourself won't tolerate this kind of behaviour towards yourself either. This guy needs to learn a thing or two about how to behave with his players in tense situations. Perhaps take a page out of Dhoni's book and learn to be calm in situation like this. If anything, sit in front of a mirror and scold yourself for ordinary performance through out the whole series

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The CT fame has gone to all the players head and it is has been visible in the tour throughout.

No passion, lethargic approach to everything and it just goes to show that how pathetic it really is.

 

[Fahdi]

Continuous bickering can get annoying. Sometimes you don't want advice and want to concentrate instead of listening to someone else. Tempers flaring up in sports is hardly rare even between team mates. They are probably laughing it off at the moment.

 

[hailian]

Sarfraz needs to stop acting like a school headmaster.

headmaster? he acts like a clown

 

[octavian]

I saw the incident live, and I am completely with Hasan Ali on this one.

Even the commentators thought Sarfraz's behavior was ridiculous. If he doesn't change his ways, Sarfraz's days are numbered.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Sarfraz deserves this for yelling at players. More to come in the future if he doesn’t control his mouth.

 

[Oligochaetes]

If sarfaraz hadn't screamed at Hasan..he wouldn't have got the wicket brilliant captaincy!

 

[Abdullah719]

Sarfraz deserves this for yelling at players. More to come in the future if he doesn’t control his mouth.

Nothing even happened Everyone is acting as though Hasan started mouthing off and gave Sarfaraz a piece of his mind.

After the incident, if it can be called an incident, Sarfaraz got everyone together in a huddle and the matter was resolved. Simple.

I never knew you can read minds?? Hassan Ali controlled himself very well but you can clearly see he was ignoring him.

 

[CleverSir]

Controversy out of nothing.

 

[Abdullah719]

I never knew you can read minds?? Hassan Ali controlled himself very well but you can clearly see he was ignoring him.

So? Is that a crime? Why is everyone acting as though there was a big fight between the two?

Hasan is a fast-bowler and he's fiery, it happens.

If it keeps happening and you can see continual animosity then we'll know it's an issue.

Until then, it was something that happened in the heat of the moment.

it's a matter of big concern. What Hassan did today is the tip of the iceberg. If Sarfraz doesn't control himself and Pakistan loses next big series things will get very ugly.
