[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Justice for Salman Ali Agha? Why can't he be a regular for Pakistan?

Good knock today with a lot of stupidity towards the end in giving the strike to tailenders.

As I always say he’s a good Test batsman.

He can do good in low scoring ODIs too but that will exclude him from ICC tournaments and on batting pitches.

Not an ideal white ball batter, and more of an anchor.

It was Steve Waugh who used to believe in backing the tailenders and treating them like proper batters. He’d give them the strike, trust them to hold up their end, and focus on building partnerships instead of trying to be a hero. Runs are runs, no matter who’s standing at the other end.

Salman did just that today and the proof is in the pudding.

If he faced all the deliveries he’d be putting more pressure on himself and the team by not rotating strike.

On a surface where almost every batter struggled on, you can’t expect him to chase the remaining runs with boundaries and 2’s.

Plus, we still had wickets in hand. If we were 9 down then fair enough, but we had to play it deep, and if Agha faced most of the deliveries he would’ve been at more risk of getting out, leaving us with Rauf, and Abrar scoring 20-30 runs.

Agha did the right thing by rotating imo

Depends on the tail tbf.

Naseem has saved pakistan's bum countless times with the bat with his Afghanistan knocks being his most iconic.

He can run, defend, bat and atleast score a good 20 to 40 runs provided a proper batter is at the other end. Hence backing him to rotate is a solid call.

But if it's someone like shaheen then absolutely not.

One good thing about this era is that the tail is stronger courtesy of Naseem.

I remember when our tail use to be

8) Gul (can bat)
9) Ajmal( Useless with the bat beyond fluke knicks)
10) Junaid Khan (Somehow even worse then ajmal as a bat)
11) Muhammad irfan (lol)
 
Agha Salman & Saud Shakeel are threat to Rizwan's ODI captaincy. They will never get consistent opportunities in this format. I don't understand why Saud is out of ODI team

Doesn't apply to every situation but certain tailenders are capable of alot if you give them confidence and guide them.
 
@jeeteshssaxena @Devadwal

Rizwan is better then Agha 🤡🤡.

Then again im not surprised. 90% of Indian posters have no knowledge about cricket.

Travis head is siddu level 🤡.

Ashwin and jadeja are Shaun Pollock level ATG 🤡.

India achieved an atg feat by drawing a test that was rained out for 3.5 days 🤡.

We should host all WTC's in India 🤡.

Bumrah is superior to Malcom Marshall and Mcgrath 🤡.

Only Indians can come up with such gems.

Salman has his way of going about things and scoring runs with the tail. He has been very impressive in Tests. He did it again in ODIs today.

People just like to talk, cause it's cheap. They don't know A of the alphabets that Salman has learned batting with the tail in International Cricket.

Test and odi fresh air for pak as he's 100x > Shadab and Chacha as a player.

I made this OP months in advance for this reason.

Garbage t20 player. Needs to be replaced in t20 ASAP.

But I said this months back as well. Agha's left foot is superior to imad, Chacha, Shadab, Nawaz or any other pseudo allrpunder pakistan has had since 2015.
 
Might be a minor thing, but I really liked Agha's gesture of giving the POTM award to Saim. Agha may not have alot of experience but he carries himself like a senior player and that's pleasing to see for the future of this team.

I made this thread because agha is simply >>>>>>>>>> Imad, Shadab, Nawaz, Chacha or any other pseudo lower order bat allrounder you can think from Pakistan.

He's still comfortably behind malik and hafeez because his numbers and records aren't their yet and despite the criticism both malik and hafeez have multiple crucial knocks both bowling wise and batting wise throughout their careers.

Agha atm has played a few as well including this one but he's got to play multiple more.

Main gripe is t20 however. He's god awful in that format, however I still back him.

Talent wise he's a proper batter and a decent utility bowler who can make use of the conditions if they suit him.

Much better then someone like shadab, chacha or nawaz who are fake bowlers and fake batters.

Chacha isn't a fake batter but he sucks and is slower then molasses while shadab use to be a proper bowler before injury and then he changed his action and he's now rubbish.

Agha, Noman and Sajid.

Proper allrounders for pakistan. Noman is old but sajid and agha should be PK's main allrounders.

Someone please kick abrar out. Useless qith the ball and a no 11 batter.

I honestly don't think it really matters who you play in T20s at this point. The T20 WC is quite far away. There are two PSLs in between. Pakistan will have plenty of players to pick from. I don't necessarily see the harm in playing Agha in T20s given the low-stakes at play right now. If he can play these types of innings in T20 too, it will greatly benefit us. Mental toughness trumps everything else in my book. If you are mentally tough, you can break any barrier.
 
A successful stint comes to an end, indeed valuable runs against South Africa in the 2nd ODI

After doing well with the bat, Salman resumes his magic with the ball....danger man Rassie Van DER Dussen gone. Pakistan on top at the moment against South Africa in the 2nd ODI
