[PICTURES/VIDEOS] A case for Sharjeel Khan: no sense to keep him out of the side

Cannot believe a proper Batsman like Babar Azam is being compared with a fake allrounder Malik
Well, I did compare Malik’s utility at number 4 for his side in comparison to Babar’s cowardice to not even bat in the position (number 3 or 4) he bats in Test cricket for Pakistan.

Babar is a fraud T20 opener. That’s the position he insists on batting. Malik does his job at number 4. He is hired to tackle spin in middle overs. He’s been hired for 2 decades to get this job done.
 
No one cares what Naz says, Since every cup he always says his iconic words

"Pakistan is a side that can even lose to Nedtherlands but can then go on to win the world cup"

^^ Like yeah when has that ever happened Naz?

Pointing in 2023 wc said that Babar is a technically good batsmen but their is plenty of room for improvement and he is not at his peak yet and that he needs a way to go.

Which is a statement i agree with. Nothing pointing said is related to him praising Babar, it's related to him telling bobby to improve? Which is what everyone on the planet has been saying. No one called Babar an ugly legside hack like rizwan lol.

As for Ian Bishop, this is what he said about Babar before 2024 t20 wc.

So, the experience of Babar and Rizwan, they probably will go back there. But again, that's a template that needs to change with those two players who I think from what we've seen T20 cricket going to even in a World Cup of challenging pitches, they need to shift another gear up in the way they approach their batting

Again how is this rating babar? Hes telling him to get lost from opening?

Please dont say such things and act like I don't have the interviews and messages on speed dial and won't bother to keep rechecking such claims.
Former Australia captain and ICC Hall of Famer Ricky Ponting has heaped praise on Pakistan skipper and ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year Babar Azam, saying that he could go down as one of Pakistan’s all-time great players.

Speaking with ICC, Ponting said Azam is technically a very good player, and has been able to adapt to conditions all around the world.

“Technically, he’s very good. He plays spin bowling very well, he plays fast bowling really well, and he’s been able to adapt to different conditions across the world - which is what separates the great players from the good players,” said Ponting.

The former batter said Azam is probably not at the peak of his powers and could improve in the next few years.

“He’s probably not (at his peak). Most batters come into their prime in the start of their early thirties. So I think Babar’s still got a little bit of improvement to come, which is a pretty scary thought with what he’s been able to do, pretty much across all three formats over the last three, four years. I love watching him play,” Ponting added.

He backed Azam to succeed as Pakistan’s captain, saying that captaining a T20 side is never easy.

“Being a captain of the T20 team is never an easy thing to do, especially in a World Cup, and especially in a moment that was as big as that one was when things were getting really tight. I’m sure with a bit more experience under his belt, like he’s done with his batting, I’m sure he’ll find the right way to lead and be a very successful captain of Pakistan,” said Ponting.

Ponting said Azam is on an upward curve and could finish his career as one of Pakistan’s all-time great players.

“He’s on the upward curve now to maybe go down as the all-time greatest. I know there’s Inzamam (ul-Haq) and Younis Khan and those sorts of guys who’ve got more runs than him. By the time he’s finished, his numbers I’m sure will stack up along with the very best Pakistan has produced,” Ponting added.


Wish Ponting had said something on Sharjeel also , same for Nasser and Bish

Malik delivered an ICC trophy for Pakistan and performed well in his designated position in T20I’s, on top of that, he didn’t do the chicken dance every time he had to face his biggest rivals. Malik is one of Pakistan’s greatest and most charismatic cricketers in LOI cricket, didn’t need to commit crimes to pull either.

Did you even bother to read the article or are you infatuated with the headline that the reporter named and tagged in such a way to draw the readers attention?

^^ This is what pointing said. Again read your own links.

It is time to move on

His time is gone
Exactly. He might have missed the boat now to make a comeback in the team. Still an year or 2 left but I don't think it will be enough for him to show what he left in his tank and make a comeback.

When Sharjeel connects it is an eye catching experience. But after watching him struggle yesterday I dont think he was ever cut for international cricket. Nothing will please me more if I am proven wrong though. I like aggressive batters with intent.
 
Clueless? He wasn’t up to the mark to smash him like he should have

Steyn didn’t get hit by Malik either at the death with an old, wet ball. Malik is a shoe in for PSL and most T20 leagues around the world
Malik time has also passed -- He might be shoo-inn for psl or other leagues, that doesn't matter in context of rebuilding our national team.

Brother move on , if you have eye on our domestic pool ( I don't), keep identifying the young talent .
 
He deserves a go based on his domestic performances and ICC Champions Trophy in mind which will also be played in Pakistan, at the absolute minimum he needs to be a squad member who is given consistent chances.

Fakhar will be no.1 and Imam expected to be no.2, if either of these men are injured, who are the back ups? are we going to promote one of Babar/Riz and lengthen the batting order….

Abdullah Shafique is the backup or the starter ahead of Imam.

There are also top performers like Sahibzada Farhan who have broken the doors of domestic with their mammoth performance last season.

It doesn’t make any sense not to have Sharjeel in the conversation unless such 360 stand and deliver openers are falling off trees in Pakistan and you’ve won multiple tournaments with your first XI team and current back ups

What’s the point? They will get selected to represent Pakistan on the hope that they will become our Jason Roy, Fraser McGurrk, Fin Allen?
 
Idk about Sharjeel for ODI but he does have a 32 avg and 116 SR so of he can keep that up, that'll be a monster opener to have for CT 2025.

Sharjeel has to perform against non 50 Years old first to make his claim. Otherwise it would be injustice to the actual performers like Farhan

Bro listen to Fakhar’s interview about Sharjeel. He says something along the lines of Sharjeel is the kind of player I would like to open with because he would let me have the time I need to settle down. Fakhar rates him a highly.

The PSL & various T20 leagues are not the only domestic competitions in Pakistan, though this may be difficult for the younger audience to comprehend. Sharjeel supporters are not saying don’t consider Farhan, we are in favour of all stand and deliver candidates and don’t hold a delusional bias for select individuals based on their good behaviour and whether or not they have paid their zakat. Sharjeel just best represents the type of cricket we’d like to see Pakistan play best.
 
The irony of all this is that a T20 league like the champions has the attention of all the youngsters and they are deeply worried, but not the premier List A domestic competitions. It just reinforces the state of the Pakistani supporters today and how they have been toyed with by the Saya propaganda.

Sharjeel is coming like MVP in his prime and with the 360 Mafia.

Sharjeel in full flow is a juggernaut. He is the closest we have to a Jayasuria but Saya corp want their tuk tuk hack hack Babar and Rizwan to open.

Run a ball 50 and a wakanda celebration from Rizwan to finish off another saya corp success.
 
Would like to see Sharjeel against Bumrah, Cummins Rabada and Jofra Choike Archer, wake up from fools paradise , Steyn gave reality check yesterday :hafeez

We saw Rizwan against all of them too. Can’t be much harm to try Sharjeel. It’s you who needs to wake up.

To try, so you thinking like Pakistan selectors that all have failed let's try a random guy , amazing even Kamran Akmal has more ability than Sharjeel Khan
 
Keep repeating the same mistake for 3 tournaments. Keep failing.

205? And still going? How is that even possible? People use to bash malik on end for his PP antics but praise bobby?

These numbers don't even look real, Unbelievable. Well atleast Bobby is happy he broke another milestone 🤣

NZ will act first on Conway before Pakistan decides to act on Babar.

This is the sorry state we are in.
 
Saim Ayub has the potential he should be backed with a free state of mind that play with attacking intent speically Pakistan are already short on attacking players. Also with Gary at the helm he should overcome his technical issues

If Pakistan are short on attacking players, what problem do people have with Sharjeel being in the loop, which offer something better even on the bench

Sharjeel time is up with so many chances he did not live upto expectations, also it will be injustice with young players Saim Haris Farhan Bismillah if he is selected
 
Sharjeel came to the limelight again because he smashed some 40-50-year-old BOYS?

We already have Farhan waiting for his chance as an opener. We have Saim who can be groomed. We have fakhar as well.
SHarjeel's time is gone.

Right, you said this as well in other places?

Flopped in Aus, Flopped in NZ , Flopped in Bangladesh and now Flopped in Pakistan what next , all those selectors and coaches who hyped him should be criminally penalised

Saim Ayub so far is nothing special infact his teknikuq (technique) is also not very strong as a batsman

Not only.Saim Ayub's batting average is pathetic his SR is also very low as per modern standard infact ex selector Shahid Afridi also made the criteria of not selecting players with SR<130

Surely it's time to roll down in the dust of domestic cricket
Wapda vs Khan Research Laboratories is calling you


You seem confused about Saim Ayub. I can understand considering how you have embarrassingly been defending Babar and Rizwan with some of the most pathetic arguments. Furthermore, you insisted on Ponting’s assessment of Babar to reinforce the argument Babar is the best T20 opener in Pakistan and Sharjeel shouldn’t get a look in. This is what Ponting has to say about Saim:



Do you choose to quote Ponting when it suits your agenda? If you quote Ponting, does it make everyone else look stupid who are advocating for Sharjeel instead of Babar and Rizwan?

If you follow the PSL and these 40-50 boy leagues only then yeah??

Which chances and what expectations and how exactly is the time up, which youngsters have you consistently given chances to; Chacha?

What I stated was fact, Saim so far has has not lived upto expectations and everybody who selects and backs him faces the heat , whether he should be discarded is another question specially with the failures of Pakistan team, the context keeps on evolving. Unfortunately cricket is not run through forums and verbal opinions

20.games is enough played under 4 captains still.has fitness issues , strike.rotation issues , off side issues that's too much for a 32 year old to work on

Add Babar & Rizwan’s games together, we can see what’s enough then, their inability to exploit the PP / off side issues with one particular player, that’s too much to be playing internationals at their age 🤔
 
So Ponting’s assessment of Babar is questionable too?
Yes Ponting assessment is not 100% in the context of Pakistan cricket Babar is the best batsman, simple as that if there are more talented and deserving players available in Pakistan cricket , throw out Babar without any hesitation but the irony is Babar" successor Shan Masood even did not merits a place in national team.

Also changing and chopping has not helped Pakistan cricket , no player is beyond criticism, even James Anderson to some people is not world class.

Zaheer Khan till past decade was Indias greatest pacer yet his Test stats are not better than Jacques Kallis.

Sharjeel if selected will not be on merit that's a reality

Rizwan and Babar are no world beaters , in the context of Pakistan cricket still they are top bracket players , over the time with insipid display of middle order Rizwan and Babar's strategy of consolidation from top has failed.

Now the important thing is if Pakistan cricket has alternate options then drop Rizwan and Babar , no rocket science

What is being propagated that Sharjeel the messiah will make everything right is over exaggerated
 
He should wait for his turn , Farhan Saim Haris Bismillah these guys deserve it for now
Waiting for you turn is merit? It’s a position in the Pakistan first XI, not a ride at Thorpe Park.


Talk batting with me, talk cricket. What are cricketing/batting merits he needs to obtain?

Messiah’s best describe the two individuals who certain Pakistan fans worship blindly despite humiliating their country more then any other individuals in their history. It’s not about whether or not they have alternate options even though I am of the strong opinion that they do and changes need to be made, just admit that it makes you deeply upset that stand and deliver candidates are being considered over those with your beloved ‘technique’. Look mate, if it’s not Sharjeel, it will be another like him, the cake cutting parties are coming to an end very very soon, there will be no Babar or Rizwan twerking in the no.1 and no.2 position; deal with it.
 
Whose the players ahead of him again?
The above mentioned are ahead of him that's why they were selected , what is so difficult for you to understand

Seriously on legends league performances you want Sharjeel to play for Pakistan, even there Tahir and Steyn were too much for him

Yes everybody loves 70/0 after 6 overs, if that happens
 
Sharjeel is being violently abused by the Babarzoids and Rizwanmaniacs because of the brand he represents, Sharjeel is everything they hate, he is the New York Yankees.

But the 360 Mafia will never give up; the last time is now, we want to see batters in the PP with Hustle and we don’t want them to show any loyalty or respect to the bowlers.
 
He should wait for his turn , Farhan Saim Haris Bismillah these guys deserve it for now
Shabzada Farhan I can understand as he's been knocking on the doors of Pakistan for a long time and wasn't given a fair run at all, so if he's replacing the openers and sharjeel needs to be sidelined I can understand.

Haris is a keeper and a makeshift no 1 to no 7 who can be slotted anywhere and haris when he captained himself likes to slot himself up and down so he'll be happy for it, So idk why sharjeel has to sidelined for him when both can enter.

Saim hasn't been performing for over 20+ games now, he doesn't deserve to be ahead of the que and needs to go back to the domestic drawing board for now.

But Hasebullah? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Bro corporation priority. They get automatic preference for this lot.
 
Bro Saya priority. They get automatic preference for this lot.
Hasebullah is also the main opener of SNGPL btw. I've seen him play, he's atrociously bad. Literally Uganda opener level bad. I'm dead serious.
 
@Kianig89 how did you get the names of Haseebullah and Bismillah mixed up?

You can’t even do that as a typo. They are very different names. You meant Bismillah didn’t you?

Bismillah khan's best innings is a fluke 55 in psl for QG.

Otherwise he's also atrocious + he's 34 and the same age as Sharjeel, forwarding him but using age excuse on sharjeel is wild.

I’m pretty sure he meant Bismillah. I don’t think he is stupid enough to suggest Sharjeel should wait his chance over Haseebullah.

It is the Young player Haseebullah who was with team for NZ series and then left out for unknown reasons , the hardwork you are tyring to put in if Sharjeel was that hardworking he would had made a career uphill now
 


But but but Babar is a mafia

I’m putting in Hard work? I’m only stating cricketing facts and logic. I think it’s you who is putting in the hard work to deflect all the nonsense you are spewing Sharjeel as the opener of Pakistan. Your reaching comments are here for everyone to see.

Alright, let’s take up the case of Haseebullah for your sake. Did he make the Pakistan T20 squad as an opener? Where does he open in T20 cricket?

There you go ! hold your head high all Misbah critics and that he has destroyed Pakistan cricket and he is the one who idolise RizBar .

Leave Haseebullah and Bismillah there, ask Sharjeel to get his act right

Even a foreigner like Wasim Khan who had no agenda / lobby lambasted him

We are not deflecting your assumption that Sharjeel was hard done are going in the bin

Backed by Misbah , supported by Babar which according to you are the mafia in Pakistan cricket still Sharjeel failed who is at fault I guess Ramiz was right
