[PICTURES/VIDEOS] How long before the patience runs out with Mohammad Haris?

[shamaan]

Yeah, a tulla who failed when the team needed him most

His keeping isn't good enough missed a run out opportunity.

 

[shamaan]

Yes! Mohammad Haris is a great batting talent and should open the batting for Pakistan. I don’t think his utility is down the order. He’s a must for Pakistan.
Just like Abhishek and Yuvi, they need to attach a good coach with him to tighten his game. The shots are there.

His keeping isn't good enough.

 

[shamaan]

That should be the last off Haris.

 

[Farabi]

That should be the last off Haris.

Okay… so who’s the ready-made replacement in T20Is who can both bat in the middle order and keep? The truth is, there isn’t one. Haseebullah is a fantastic prospect for ODIs and Tests, but not quite the T20 middle-order answer. Rizwan isn’t a middle-order T20 batter either. The best move is to back Haris and work on sharpening both his batting and keeping. We DONT HAVE ready made products coming from the system. We would have to be patient for players unless it becomes a musical chairs.

Haris doesn't know how to build a innings plus his keeping is terrible.

 

[Obaidd]

Haris doesn't know how to build an innings plus his keeping is terrible.

He has no saving grace whatsoever.

 

[sweep_shot]

To put it bluntly, Haris is a T20 hack.

He probably doesn't have the technique to succeed against top 5 sides.

 

[shah9425]

Rizwan needs to back

Haris can't bat neither keep behind the wickets

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Even the agenda guys here can't defend him now...needs to be shown the door for good. He isn't even a hack, gone on duck and missed Tilak's runout big time yesterday.

 

[Obaidd]

Only if pak lose to USA again (some false equivalence) and Harris plays at 3 (he forgets how to play cricket at other positions) and pitches are bouncy (his strengths aren’t suited to slow tracks). Unless each of these conditions are met they are willing to back this guy.

What Haris did with that run-out chase alone is unforgivable and if this was Rizwan, he would be getting death threats now.

Haris is a terrible player and he will never come good. His supporters should accept this and not die on this hill.

Rizwan can easily slot in at 4 and do much better than him. Pakistan will always be stronger with Rizwan playing over Haris no matter where Rizwan is batting in the lineup.

Rizwan is 33. In 2-3 years, he will be gone and hopefully Pakistan will find another WK batsman by then who will be ready to take over from him across formats.

Haris, just like Azam Khan, will never be that guy. He is not good enough.

I used to vouch for him and believed he is the biggest hitter in Pakistan.

But I was wrong and deluded by his t20 WC performance in 2022.

He was rightly dropped from squad so that he can work on his technique, rather chose to be loudmouth in chapri podcasts.

Even Mukhtar Ahmad was better than him. A piece of wood behind the stump is 10 times better than this obnoxious and narcissist dumb***

oh based on his cameo at SCG road pitch with 60 meter short boundary?

 

[IMMY69]

I'm half expecting a new thread with the title "Th PCB should appoint Harris as captain immediately, well before the next series, so he has the confidence and time to flourish"...

Played well against SA, BD & NZ. I know it wasn't substantial score but context of the match was such, everyone seemed to be struggling, making it difficult for Pak to win.

I agree I think the answer is to back him. Especially if there is no opener slot available, given Rizwan’s preference for opening in t20s. He’s a long term prospect still for us, and despite his failings, I can not think of another name for keeping apart for him and Rizwan.

I think the issue is surely we can find 5 batsmen better than him. If we could do that, no way would we playing him up the order he’d be down at 6 where he should have stayed. If he can simply be a decent keeper and useful slogger at 6, if we find 5 good batsmen to bat above him, it’s enough. It doesn’t seem such a hard task simply being average with the gloves at slogging a bit. Yes he is failing at that too, but he’s young and surely if he works hard there will be a point he will be able to do that at absolute minimum.

Farhan, fakhar, hasan (I have faith in him) are all better. I think Babar should come back at 3 as he’s going to offer more there than Haris. So it basically leaves one batting slot that we have to find who is a better batsman than Haris. I don’t think it should be too hard.

This tournament because of how bad our batsmen were, we were pressured to send up Haris to get him to perform to offset the other bad batsmen. That shouldn’t have been the case.

Adelaide oval was another road pitch with short side boundaries. You don't judge players based on cameos.
