[PICTURES] Shan Masood: Performance Watch

Well done Masood. Without that anchor, we would've been bundled out for less than 90.

T20 is not about anchoring, opposition will chase with ease.

So he should've done a Shadab/Haider ?. And help us get out under a 100?

He's shown the way to those middle order midgets. You can get 9-10 RPO through
Ground strokes and gap play until you get to the final 3 overs. We would've been looking at 170 had those two not followed your suggested approach
 
SR of 123 after losing the opening pair in the first 4 and then witnessing the middle order collapse at the other end

I'd say well done
 
Babar, Shan and Rizwan

All have the privilege of finding an excuse to play their way considering how we have set up

Deadly strike rate of 121. I’m sure the opposition was shaken

Without that innings, all bowled out for 120-120 and nothing to defend.

As it stands right now, he played about as well as he could given the early complete disaster he walked out in the middle of.

He's given your bowlers half a chance at least to win the game for Pakistan. The batters sure didn't do enough but the bowlers just might come to the party.
 
Kholi batted in a more difficult situation, more wickets were lost upfront with the run rate struggling.

Difference being he was able to accelerate in the later part of his innings whereas Shan was happy taking mighty singles

Bro seriously? You're putting Shan in the same bracket as the openers after his innings today.

Babar and Rizwan scored 4 off 13 balls. They're the very reason why we lost today.

Shan played really well in very difficult batting conditions. Don't forget the conditions were overcast it was swinging like crazy for the Indians.

When you compare how he fared in comparison to all the other top 3 batters playing in this game, he outbatted Babar, Rizwan, Rohit and Rahul. Only Kohli played better and it took an ATG knock from him to deliver what he achieved today.

Before the tournament began, I told you we needed Shan because other than Babar he's the only player who has the shots to play on the back foot and has a proven track record on faster wickets. This is evident by his red ball record in Australia and South Africa.

The bottom line is without his innings today, we wouldn't have managed 130 let alone 159.

Give him the credit he's due rather than disrespecting him.

You're comparing Shan with Virat Kohli. That obviously isn't a fair comparison.

Despite this, he easily outplayed everyone in our batting line up today except Chacha. I can guarantee you that if Khushdil was played in his place today, we would've been bundled out under a 100.
 
It was a good innings from Shan. No need to bash him after doing so well and keeping our innings together. It would have been a boring easy win for India without him playing today.

Truth is, we have walking wickets like Asif and Haider in the team.

With those types of players to follow, we definitely need a player like Shan, particularly when our openers fail badly.
 
Yeah, what's with the comparisons between arguably the greatest batsman of the modern age and Shan. Talk about setting high standards for Shan to live up to. Joke.
 
Credit for Shan , however he was very lucky , could have been out on 3 occasions but fair enough he rode his luck but his 3 50s have come in losing causes and after facing 40 balls a SR of 122 is poor.

We don’t need another anchor and he can not really accelerate .

Lol. I see your obsession is still not gone of tagging me. Living rent free in your head. It's a dirty place though I must admit.

Shan wasn't playing at 13 off 14 balls in the 14th over on a belter of a Karachi pitch after the openers had put on a stand. So yeah no need to retire today.

You might not know it I know, but the more you talk on this forum, the more it shows how low your cricketing IQ is.
 
Shan Masood: Performance Watch

I thought that it was an excellent innings by Masood. 52 off 42 is something which some of the other Pakistan batsmen don´t manage even with the team having lost no wicket, and here were wickets tumbling all the team. I quite liked how he was able to rotate the strike and also to find the gaps, despite being clearly limited in his ability as a hitter.
 
I didn’t realize it yesterday but Shan Masood had a lot of lives.

Kohli missed a simple run out. He could have easily out run Shan and taken the bails off.

The ball hit the spider cam otherwise it was going straight to the fielder.

Ashwin dropped a caught and bowled

Ashwin had a bump catch which would have been caught by most athletes. Ash was too slow.

In the end we never got him out :))

Not sure if it worked in our favor or not. I swing towards worked against us. Kudos to Shan for making it count.
 
He has scored 3 50s for Pakistan till date and unfirtunately Pakistan lost all 3 matches.
 
Decent innings was lucky and unfortunately he's a very limited player. No other top team has a player like him in the squad. Shows our limitations.
 
Taking 40+ deliveries for a 50 in T20 cricket is criminal Pakistan are better off without Shan
 
The only thing I liked about the Innings was that he was running quick 2s and 3s
 
This was one of the luckiest innings I have ever seen - on par with Sachin’s innings in the 2011 WC. Dude could have been dismissed so many times - numerous plays and misses, missed run out from Kohli, missed catch from Ashwin and then even the spider cam came to his rescue! I think he has used up all his luck. Sachin after that WC innings needed almost two years for his next century!

What are you talking about? Genuinely what? Without Shan how much would Pakistan have scored? I get you dislike the guy but at least give him credit for what he's done. It's like you're blind to the reality around you - Iftikhar and Shan were your only 2 decent batsmen in that game and you've gone ahead and dismissed his innings completely.

Stop with silly claims like this

Probably you have not watched international cricket regularly, batting at 123.8 Strike Rate for a No. 3 batsman in int'l T20 is a joke these type of innings are of no use

So you want a # 3 batsman score at SR of 150 and gets out after scoring 20 runs and all team gets out at 111 in 17.5 overs.

Shaan kept the inning going when wickets were falling regularly around him and helped team to reach to a defendable score.

which is a fact - and there is no denial in it.
The point being made here is that his innings seemed a one off lucky event. Being an ardent cricket analyst, I am sure you have noticed that "quality wise" it was an ugly innings.

A few chances he got is not even the point here, but his ability to launch a counter punch is no where to be seen. He played in 100% survival mode for his own self, and got lucky to stretch it. And we call it "keeping the innings together while wickets were falling around him".

You may think differently but I don't see even 0.01% improvement in his T20 game.

Seriously lacks intent, energy, passion, power and fire in the belly to launch a counter punch (forget about instigating an assault to begin with). Very timid, weak and feeble approach and a serious lack of skill for a T20 batter was evident in his innings.

Even till the end, he failed to launch an attach to score some quick runs - it was cringe worthy to watch him take singles in the last few overs.

I am sure you agree that in general scheme of things, No 3 is your BEST batsman in the team - and we have placed Mr. Shan Masood at this crucial spot. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

thats the difference a defendable score, had it been a quality player we would have got a winnable score
 
lol okay, and who's that quality player? Fakhar? Haris?

Easy to complain all the time, name a replacement that can play against Zimbabwe and be your 'quality player'.

Fakhar is definitely a quality player. No two ways about it .
 
Terrible innings don't really know how the hell he is in our T20 squad. A player of his quality won't be able to get in the associates sides as well but somehow we keep selecting him.
 
Like most Pakistan cricket fans, I want to see our players play 360 ie ramp shots, dilscoops etc, but having watched Shan train in the nets and fail to scoop almost every ball, you’d think he’d have ZERO confidence in his ability to actually play the scoop shot in an actual game… LOL… it’s like watching a defender attempt a bicycle kick.

seriously, when I watched that little clip of him trying a reverse sweep in the nets, I wonder if he was drunk or playing cricket reserved mental ret@ards or physically challenged? What an ugly sight was it for TEST level batsman. It was a total shame!

Some really weird posts...

Shan is being criticized.. no surprises that people are unhappy than because shan performed there favorite hitter fakher can't get a spot in shan place, so write long essays telling how shan is bad even though he was the highest scorer in the last game.

Father comes in place of Haider ali as simple as that. Shan is going no where.

Against the minnows, play 5 bowlers and select spinners based on conditions. If its Perth go with 4 pacers and 1 spinner. You don't play 6 bowlers against the likes of Netherlands and Zimbabwe for gods sake.

Eventually, when we get to the SA game or maybe even bangladesh, than play 6 bowlers.

Unless fakhar pulls off something brilliant against Zimbabwe, doubt he will play against SA if we go with 6 bowlers. Nawaz and shadab would than bat and bowl.

Asia ali is also going no where because if fakhar can't play the finisher role than he can sit out. Look at stoicism, opener in big bash but plays at lower order to finish

The avg score in that ground is 140. 160 was a winnable total.

Your bowlers messed up 48 in last three overs that isn't the batters fault

Shaan was the only sensible guy that knew that after iftikhar did his blitz and got out, there was no need to play rash shots as the ground was big enough to steel 2s and 3s. Shadab and Haider came in and threw their wickets away.

Shaan kept his cool and extended the total by rotating the strike. Asif ali failed his job but the bowlers were able to stuck the boundaries.

Such dumb questions were asked on pavilion, and waqad and waseem said to fakhar e alam that don't cater such dumb questions as everyone saw the game and situation and if anyone thinks shan played a bad innings there is no point in debating with such...

He is amongst the highest aging players in List A cricket. He is a very good limited overs player who can't get in as fakhar and imam are performing in one day.

He is sought after in county cricket. He was able to decline one offer for another and was being given captaincy.

Mackey Arthur said that when went over to county and was asked to find overseas, he said the first name that came into his mind was Shan.

So plz, before degrading a player and claiming that he can't get in associate sides, its better to know a thing or about the player and about the game.

But than again, you called his innings terrible so I doubt you know about the game

Hahahahaha you guys are killing me. Hating on a guy for practicing a shot in the nets? The dislike towards him is immense 😂

This is the exact sentiment behind why our players don’t try these shots. You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t

Shan should be opening the batting.

Nope.
The only spot he should be sent in to bat, IF we are hellbent to play him, is # 11. That's THE BEST position should be batting at.

EVERYONE else in the team can hit bigger and better than him to get us some quick runs.

You are WRONG. He played a DECENT knock in the LAST innings.

Sorry I just wanted to see what the deal with with making random words all caps.

It was a tailor made situation tbh.

He doesn't have the change of gears needed to be continually successful.

After this WC he should be discarded from the side.
 
Rana said:
Shan is doing what RizBar do

If he is wrong, so are they
Click to expand...

Agreed !

Shan is not a T20 player, but giving his best with limited capabilities. We have Fakhar is ideal replacement for him.

Babar is good but only in dead rubbers and against weak bowling lineups. Always scared to get out and gets into shell as soon as any bowler looks 50% threatening. Since we can't drop captain, so better to demote him to no 3.

Rizwan is also poor against good teams who plan before landing their foot on the ground. But who do we have as a replacement for WK? So we have to persist with Rizwan at position where he can benefit us maximum.
 
Why do we always have talented people who lack brain (Imran the politician, Umar Akmal the batsman) and brainy people who have limited talent (Nawaz the politician, Shan the batsman)?
 
Seemed to be doing well until this

Technically he looked the most comfortable batsman out there on the Perth Wicket.
 
Quick question - if you are out stumped off a wide, does the run also get given? In which case was it given today?
 
This is the most the guy can offer

And his most is below what is required

Yes, and it was given. Check the commentary on any site, 5 runs were scored with the bat that over (a four and a single) but the score went from 93 for 5 to 99 for 6 at the end of that over (16th).
 
I feel for the guy, he is definitely not a T20 player but has batted out of his skin.

I don't think a batting lineup of babar , riz and shan can be successful.
 
He is coming from a season in England. The way he handled the movement and pace showed it.
 
I am convinced that he is a test player...


Who ever selected him for T20's needs to be sacked..
 
What was he doing today? The game needed to be finished off and he was doing tuk tuk in honour of Misbah...

You can't bat like that at number 4. I'd rather take Haider Ali 0 (1) than Shan taking 12 off 14 with the field spread.

12 off 14 with the field out will lose us games too though. At least do your tuk tuk into the gaps and runs twos. His dismissal was awful too.

Our middle order is truly the worst in the tournament. Including associate nations.

12 off 16* actually.

He was literally blocking and leaving the ball when everyone knows that NRR could come to haunt Pak.

Shan MAsooD can sneak into the side due to performances in the blast but Amir, Azam and Imad cannot play for Pakistan if they perform in CPL

The bias and favouritism is clear for everyone to see
 
I urge PCB to give up on him. They have wasted a decade on someone who never was and never will be good enough for international cricket.

One can hope that this would be the last time he will represent Pakistan in any format.
 
An insult to all the talented payers doing hardyards back home,Shan Masood as a batsman you are a torture a complete turnoff hopefully in national Colors you will never ever represent us again
 
Sadly he’s just not good enough to play at the big stage. He’s just a nurdler and these sort of players don’t get very far. Has no power game
