What are you trying to get at now by tagging me?
Right, so this is why you tagged me.
haha without any doubt... Haider Ali is another one
Usman khan isn't as bad as people are claiming. Imo saud should be in his place, but he isnt that bad.
A batsmen with an ugly technique can be a good batter.
ODI is the only format Babar is still pretty good in. He has made no.3 his own. Don't see any reason why Usman should be given no.3 in ODIs considering he hasn't really set the world alight till now and isn't slated to become a better batter than Babar at no3.
How can you say that , they had years and years of performance in FC cricket and Raja at international level , this guy Usman has no credential of any sort except some related to PLS , which is just a tamasha cricket.
Not the commentator Ramiz Raja, the guy who was plucked from obscurity for a series against Zim.
because international teams have analysts who have worked on these players unlike PSL guys who are interested in Tapal T & Pakoras
Some people are just domestic and league Cricket bully. They don't have the level to match with highest quality of teams in International Cricket. That's why International Cricket still the highest standard. Specially an ICC tournament.
Yep. He is one of those domestic bullies TBH... His technique is awful as far as I have seen in the international games...
Even players like Babar have to fight it hard to score against quality international sides.
Is it as bad or worse than Rizwan’s technique?
It wont natter as long as he is scoring runs
The thing is if you bully the leagues which should be the highest form of domestic cricket then you must be selected for international and given a chance. Otherwise what's the point in the league?
So it’s a non matter for Usman who scores the runs at a lower level to get him into the national side?
I think Pakistan will announce it today along with the tri-nation series squad.
IT would not have mattered if he had scored runs in internationals which he isnt doing despite given chances{but not at his preferred position}.Many players having ugly techniques like head,smith,fakhar,inzamam ul haq have scored heavily despite not having a good technique.
So it’s basically a non issue isn’t it?
yes the technique drama will be forgotten if he starts to score big runs in internationals.
This is so less talked about. Mainly because his technique and style is so abysmal that people haven't even gotten time to look past it. Mentally he really doesn't look to belong in international level either.
Wajahatullah Wasti scored a half-century in a WC semi-final which is something Usman Khan can only dream of.
Asad Shafique wasn't bad but just not fit for shorter format
He can't play quality pace bowling. In PSL he is a spin-basher, but I'm fairly certain that if he faced quality spin-bowling he wouldn't survive against that either
He was horrible in ODI's . Just talking about white ball cricket here .
That’s something all of Pakistan’s current players can dream of as they have to actually be good enough to play a World Cup semi final, not finish 7th or 8th
Rana bro, i want to know your opinions.
I'm not denying that any of these players aren't absolutely terrible. But Usman Khan should be in the same category, even if he's not necessarily worse than some of them. We don't need to see him play 7-10 ODIs to find that out.
Very difficult to predict bro. The team is crap for flat conditions. These guys can beat NZ and lose to Bangladesh.
The biggest issue is bottle mentality. Rizwan and babar are a living nightmare to have in a semi final or final.
It’s pretty simple, Pakistan’s bowling has to come to the party like it always does for the sake of a proper championship run.
we can export him to India if u guys can adopt him lol
If they lose to India, how will they make the semis?
It will be like trying to make the ocean go dry.
This is true though. If he can't perform today then why else would you continue to carry him? Better to bring in some youngsters so you can invest long-term.
He said this before the tournament started and the tri series started.
I despite creating this thread would consider opening with Tayyab or him. Because of poor squad selection Pakistan have gotten themselves in a position (And Fakhar's injury didn't helped either) that it is better to take a chance with him.
I’d play him with imam move Babar down to 3.
When did I make this comment? What’s the date?
He doesn’t have to prove anything. He needs to bat for Pakistan. The results will come themselves.
I said the same about Saim too when others were writing him off.Someone said " Usman Khan is best limited overs player in pakistan "
Saim has done nothing in test cricket or T20 cricket. He just played two good innings against second string attack in ODI cricket Only .
