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

Sharjeel Khan is failing miserably where ever he is playing , the proponents need to apologise surely.
 
Playing today for Morrisville Samp Army against UP Nawabs.

how many is he gonna score today. 13 off 9 till now
 
You don't have to be a fan or Riz-Bar opening, however going back to Sharjeel Khan as a option is terrible. He's unfit, 35 & looks a shadow of his former self, which to be fair did look pretty decent.
 
I beg Aquib Javed to pick both Sharjeel & Asif Ali and make them play every single white ball game for Pakistan for the next 6 months. I also insist to drop both Rizwan & Babar for that period.

It's not a one time thing. I still remember the days of Kamran Akmal "Just give me 3 chances as opener".

Good idea. As we desperately need to replace Rizwan, I request Aquib to bring back the Akmal brothers

Do you remember the same guys attacking the domestic setup under IK and calling for more teams. After it happened, the whole domestic setup was awful and all the guys that called for it just disappeared.

Sharjeel Khan failed to make an impact in the Abu Dhabi T10 League once again, he was dismissed cheaply for just 8 runs against the Chennai Braves.
 
With Fakhar also to be included and Saim flying high, we can safely Sharjeel chapter locked and buried.

Why are you so desperate for him to be gone? So Rizwan can safely open and score 16 off 26?

Saim and Fakhar should open , Sharjeel look career post cricket

yeah your views change like Rizwan’s excuses.

Today you want Saim and Fakhar, give it a couple of failures and you will be doing bounce Billo for RizBar

Babar is obviously number 3.

Who is your 4, 5 & 6?

Think shakeel should be 4, Rizwan 5 and Salman Agha 6. Though I think people overrate the difference between 4 and 5 in ODIs I don’t think it’ll make much difference whether Rizwan or saud plays at 5.

I think we should have persisted with saud. You need someone reliable that is comfortable at the crease early and think saud can be that. Shouldn’t have moved on so quickly he showed potential.

We need a line up which comfortably lasts 50 overs. Same in t20 honestly. Then we can experiment on adding hitters and dropping some anchors. Too many times I see us struggling to play out full overs or slowing down to stay in. If we don’t worry soo much about lasting the overs, there will be less pressure and even our limited batsmen will naturally strike quicker.

At 7 we probably go with an allrounder or Irfan I presume.

I like Saud at 4. At number 5 you need a proper batter who can also up the run rate if needed. We don’t really have class in this category I am afraid. Hence an option would be to play Fakhar at 5.

Yeah Pakistan’s legit, bonafide, legendary opener of the modern era should move to 5 :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:







Why don’t you go and bump the Asif Ali thread to feel good about yourselves?

In t20s I’d give fakhar another go opening with Rizwan. I don’t think Saim should get to open again in t20s for now, let him focus in Odis where he’s doing well. Build up his confidence. If fakhar doesn’t work out drop him back down to 4 (or even 5) a position where he’s actually succeeded now and get Usman to open.

I’d probably play Saud middle order t20s too.

For the first time in decades we are seeing a young and fit opening combo for Pakistan who has potential in both red ball and white ball. Abdullah has not set the world alight but he seems to be complementing Saim really well. Why would you want to change it for an old and mostly unfit opener who only has 2 years of gas left.

I still want Fakhar but he is not some Nawab who mostly remains unfit and when fit should automatically get come back in the opening slot. He is still a class act though and will give us great value at number 5. He can be our Inzi.

Look I know you want to discuss Rizwan in every post. He is my number 7 by the way.

Sharjeel 'Master Blaster' Khan vs India in the 2016 T20 World Cup, 17 off 24:

Screenshot 2024-11-27 114513.png

Rizwan isn't a power hitter we all know that, so a 61 SR makes sense for a player as limited as him. What's Sharjeel 'Master Blaster' Khan's excuse for striking at 70 in a T20 world cup match?

Then again talking sense to you is a waste of time.

T20i Career stats:

Sharjeel 'Master Blaster': Avg 22, 133 SR, 0.83 sixes per game.
Rizwan 'not a T20 player: Avg 47, 126 SR, 1.01 sixes per game.

Jog on.

Yeah otherwise he always aims for 60 off 26 🤡

Lots of people have played bad innings in their career, But the issue with most fans is that they view cricket as a simulator rather then judging based of actual talent.

For example had fakhar played such an innings or dhawan or whoever, and let's say the likes of Warner and Travis Head were in the same team,

It's fair to say we can Shove fakhar down to 3 or 4 because he's inconsistent in t20 and we can let Travis and Warner open..

It's absolute madness to suggest we slot fakhar down to 4 for rizwan or that we can misbah ahead of inzi in a world cup due to certain key metrics because the GULF IN TALENT between fakhar and rizwan and Misbah and Inzimam is insane.

Fakhar at his absolute peak is in the class of Warner, Travis, Rohit and such openers. The issue is he's 100x more inconsistent then them but he has played their caliber of innings at an international level.

Rizwan at his absolute peak I'd in the class of Misbah as a whiteball batter, He may win one off games like misbah did againat aus in 2007, and he may consistently score 40 of 80's and boost that avg with 70 sr, but overall he'll be a botcher just like his predecessor.

Similarly Inzimam is in the class of Top tier middle order batters of his era, whereas Misbah was a ghost in said era.

It's also why it's utter madness to suggest rizwan should open ahead of saim or bat at no 4 ahead of saud.

Saud and saim are not in the class of fakhar or inzi, but saim at his absolute peak can possibly reach rachin ravindra levels of prowess with saud shakeel in the test and odi circuit reaching the class of Good English tier batters of the past.

Rizwan isn't in that caliber talent wise and never will be.

Babar is in said caliber however he's lazy and I doubt he'll reach said potential. Someone who made his debut in 2016 should have ironed out his loft play + spin issues.

Sharjeel khan has scored 61 runs in 5 matches at an average of 12 with strike rate of 124 in third class t10 league.

He is a clown of highest level the fixer. He is an embarrassment to Pakistan. Such a loser.

Thr gulf in talent between Fakhar and rizwan is enormous regardless of stats.

It's like saying we'll replace Travis Head as a t20 opener for Labu simply because Travis head had a poor run for a year or so while labu may consistently score 50+ scores.

If you used this argument against an aussie selector he'd probs ban you from CA
 
Let’s look at the aina these Rizwansons are trying to show us:

Sharjeel 17 off 24

In the same match:

Rohit Sharma 10 off 11

Shikhar Dhawan 6 off 15!!!!



If you want to show an “aina”, at least buy it from a proper home decoration store and not one from a Sunday car boot sale

It's cause these guys view things as a simulator.

The only one I was skeptical about was saim ayub however now that I have confirmation that he can score.

It's clear as day that he's the best young talent in pak. Mini sharjeel atm.
 
Sharjeel 17 off 24

Rohit and Dhawan combined 16 off 25

By no means do I rate Sharjeel over the Alpha Boss Rohit Hitman Sharma, or the smooth assassin Dhawan.

I’m just telling you that Rizwan fans are as thick as the lipstick he wears. Be very careful to engage with me, I am as ruthless as these white ball predators with the bat!
 
Rejoice it as much, this might be the last league outing for Sharjeel, won't be surprised if he gets probed because the ongoing T10 league is all murky business
 
Rizwan can’t get signed to a proper T20 league yet his fans want to make fun of Sharjeel who atleast is considered worth investing in for T10, which requires even more power and aggression.

Rizwan’s score chasing 93 in 7 overs anyone?
 
The routine bullsHhit about Rizwan, because the problem is with Saim and Fakhar getting opening slots there will be no space for Sharjeel even if he score 12 ball 70 in a farce t10 league.

Sharjeel has to be the dumbest player, from Misbah to Waqar to Micky everybody supported him yet this jerk got involved in criminal things and axed his own feet.

Also the love for aalo parathas and Pepshi was too much for lazy couch to get in shape.

Sharjeel is done. He's getting beaten for pace now. He was very good against pace. His reflexes are gone.

I think hes more suited when the spinners are in the attack he doesnt look right when hes trying to slog but then again that's with most pakistani batters.

On current form, Babar should be a back-up for Kamran Ghulam and Saud Shakeel..

Babar does not automatically walk into the playing XI.. he has to earn his place back..
 
In the 28th match of the Abu Dhabi T10, Morrisville Samp Army edged out Abu Dhabi with a thrilling 3-run victory.

Sharjeel Khan, the only Pakistani player in the Samp Army lineup, delivered an explosive cameo, smashing 28 off just 10 balls.

Rizwan can’t do that even if he gets 3 lives in an innings
 
Now that Saim is coming into his own god willing, and also hopefully pairs with Fakhar; am ok to move on from Sharjeel, knowing how every attempt has been made to cripple his prospects.

But lets not act like Sharjeel is the issue here, the same people criticising him, were also on Saim’s back as well, they are just pretending to jump on the bandwagon now, but they vilified his style of play. It has taken Saim an extra special effort to punch above the toxic environment he has had to play in.

The real problem is misguided fans wanting 40-50 averaging players who strike at 70, this is what you will defend to the grave and truly want in the top order.

Fans who are not stuck in the 90’s want two aggressive openers at the top which is a very basic requirement in modern cricket.

These fans aren't even stuck in the 90's bro, Their cricketing takes suck, plain and simple.

In the 90's cricket was evaluated by talent. No one in the right mind would replace someone like Lara or wasim akram for a parchi who happened to have good stats and outperformed legends in certain metrics.

That's because at the end of the day, irrespective of poor series the gulf in talent between someone like wasim or lara and some parchi was night and day.

Pakistan and it's fans are the only illiterate wannabies who don't understand this fact.

Threads such as Misbah vs Inzimam or Fakhar vs Rizwan as openers are such brain dead threads you wonder where these guys got their educational status from?

The gulf in talent between inzi and fakhar compared to misbah and rizwan is enormous

And what if we don't want an obese fixer as our opener? Does that mean we're stuck in the 90s?
 
Sharjeel scoring cute 20-30 and people going crazy.... Reality is, these leagues are not gonna get him into the team.
 
Sharjeel Khan struggled against Ajman Bolts in the Abu Dhabi T10 2024, scoring only 6 runs off 8 balls for Morrisville Samp Army. His slow start hurt the team's chances, as they lost to Ajman Bolts by 3 wickets with 10 balls remaining.
 
What a loser this Sharjeel is. Abysmal fitness and awful fielding.

Today he scored 6 runs off 8 balls. What an embarrassment he is to the nation.

No he does not, and unless he learns to play match impacting innings, we frankly don't need a 90s era slow middle-over player in the team..

On top of his out-dated approach, he has been failure for the past 2 years, not one innings of substance..

Absolutely no reason for him to walk into the ODI team..

And don't start quoting his average in ODIs, what good is his average when he fails consistently in big matches against tough opposition..
