Time to drop him for ever. He has done nothing and only costing Pakistan matches

And Misbah expect him to score tons in Australia . Another important tour ( Australia ) will be whitewashed due to persisting with undeserving captain. Last time it was Misbah and now Sarfraz.
 
Man, can’t believe this is the same Sarfraz who used to score half-centuries with ease...
 
He consumes far too much dot balls recently.

Strike rotation used to be his strength.
 
Seems intent on playing for himself rather than the team.
 
It’s not his fault he is selected. Blame Misbah, the chief selector for not understanding this.
 
As long as sarfaraz is around pak is not going to qualify for semis of any major tournament.with the decline of pak bowling, I bet my life on this.
 
I can't see Sarfraz being dropped in the near future unfortunately...
 
No need to blame sarfraz you hero misbah is responsible for this he decided to keep him as a captain.
 
Dont know whose decision it was to keep Sarfaraz and that too as captain but this series has given glimpses how its not a good decision.
 
Misbah to Sarfraz: good strike rate today just need to maintain that and stay a little longer the way I did to keep your place in the side. Trust me it worked when I was playing ODI cricket.
 
Come on Misbah, get rid of him. You have all the power here so it's all on you.
 
He's been appointed captain and will remain so - until he is removed! [PCB logic]
 
The 2014-2015 purple patch has been a disaster for Pakistan cricket in the long-term. He has always been a poor player either side of that period, and it is a travesty that he is keeping Rizwan out because of the captaincy armor.

" ------ and, we both need this high paying job we have, without being qualified for that, lets support each other and enjoy the free money. "
 
The thing is if he was a master tactician or a great wicket-keeper, then his batting may not be under the scanner so much, but his captaincy is poor and his keeping is very average too.

Today he put a stop on the innings and was rescued by Haris and Iftikhar at the end.
 
Sarfraz should be dropped.He was struggling against this Sri Lankan attack.How is he going to face Australian fast bowlers.
 
Its your idol Don Misbah wants him in the team as captain based on seniority. Since you are big admirer of senior players you should not complain about that. And also don't get surprise if tanvir, Gul, Faisal, Zulfi, Shafiq.... return in our LOI side and we keep loosing 20-30 matches in a row.
 
[MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION], Is your thread is really concern of Sarfraz performance or Sarcasm of suffering of Pakistan cricket due to keep selection of non-deserving players? Because you support every single act of Misbah like act of worship and deep inside you know that why Sarfraz is still captain even with so many failure either with bat/keeping/captaincy/fitness.

In case if you don't want to admit who is behind the selection, the sad truth is::::: Its Don Misbah (Coach and selector)

Even his captaincy seems to be pathetic. Looks like he will have an unfateful exit similarly just like azhar ali and misbah.All his legacy as an captain who won pakistan the champions trophy and made pakistan the number one t2o will go down in vain and people will remember him in an rather negative way.

How rizwan doesnt play ahead of him is mind boggling. Or perhaps not, considering who tho coach is :misbah
 
At this point I'm even ready to accept Umar Akmal as our WK let alone Rizwan

The lesson for PCB is to not get over-excited when an average player hits a purple patch. By thrusting him with the captaincy across all formats, PCB forgot how poor he was from 2008 to 2013 and how he failed to oust Kamran from the team.

He is simply not a top player and never will be. He just had one period in his career where he looked like a world beater, but the wheels came off quickly. When you are mediocre, your mediocrity will eventually catch up with you.

Mani, Wasim and Misbah need to answer the following question: do they genuinely see a 36 year old Sarfraz leading the team and pulling his own weight either side of the stumps at the 2023 World Cup? If yes, how? If no, why is he still part of the team and captaining the side?
 
Sarfaraz Ahmed's act during 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka reminds fans of MS Dhoni

The 3-match ODI series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka saw Sarfaraz Ahmed reach a new milestone as he became the second wicket-keeper in cricket history, after MS Dhoni, to captain his side in 50 ODI games. Although that wasn't the only instance in the second ODI where Sarfaraz was used in the same bracket as Dhoni.

During the match at Karachi's National Stadium, Sarfaraz was spotted helping Sri Lanka's Shehan Jayasuriya during the tough chase as the latter started to experience cramps in his hamstring. Jayasuriya had forged a 177-run partnership with Dasun Shanaka in the middle to keep the Lanka's hopes of chasing 307 alive. However, some fitness issues kept coming in the way.

In the hot and humid conditions at the venue, Jayasuriya was spotted holding his hamstring as he went down on the ground in the 34th over. Seeing him struggle, Sarfaraz came to the batsman and helped him with the hamstring trouble. Shehan soon got up and resumed his innings.

Earlier, former India captain MS Dhoni was also spotted helping South Africa's Faf du Plessis with a similar hamstring complaint on the pitch. The incident took place in Mumbai during South Africa's tour of India in 2015.

Seeing Sarfaraz do something similar, cricket fans couldn't help up remember the Dhoni-Du Plessis incident.

You can't blame Sarfaraz, he is playing to the best of his abilities, it's not his decision, it's Misbah's.

media aswell... and all the fan boys here

I remember when Sarfraz Scored that century and every fan started bashing the team management as if a gem was being hidden.

Some people made it into a karachi vs Pakistan matter that oh a captain from Karachi isnt being made.

Media, especially GEO joined in.

ANd now look. No one wants to own it.

You should know better about Misbah. Until he is there he will not select any new/young player as captain. It will be whether Hafeez/Azhar/Sarfraz. Luckily Babar piled up so many runs and established himself already otherwise he would have been dropped for Shafiq/Azhar
Whom will you choose from Hafeez/Azhar/Sarfraz?
 
This team management needs to get rid of the free rider which Mickey retained for 2 years.

He is not a good enough batsman and an average captain, its high time to look ahead.

Sarfraz needs to go ... really go ... i was his big fan esp when we chased the 300+ against SL but now he is a liability ... blocking rizwan ... and putting his own self ahead of the team .... just not right

Choosing between those three options as captain is like choosing what type of cancer to die from.

When did I say Sarfaraz should be retained? You are a good poster, dont let emotions take that away from you. I have stated a fact that Mickey had Sarfaraz captaining and keeping in all 3 formats for 2 years. Is it a false statement?

If Misbah made the decision to retain him, I have already stated in this very thread that its a wrong decision.

Exactly!!!! But that's the main issue when Misbah is captain and his support any of his decision as if it heavenly. i.e Major still thinks Azhar should break his retirement.

That's reason Misbah sacked Micky but retained him as a captain. If Micky has little bit smart we could have better team by now and both Him and Inzi would be in the job rather than Misbah.
 
I said so years ago he crouches way too much at the time of the release of the ball and that is not ideal for someone of his height. He needs to stand up tall and try and play if he is to score runs.

It really is a weird thing to say but it is really dysfunctional to say the least that the so called coaches over the years and currently working with them have not mentioned this or have worked on this with him to get him used to trying something new or different.

I am not negative but I see the pattern and its heading that direction.Misbah was never fond of young players kept away Fawad Alam who could be our 3rd 10000 runs players (Inzi should be blamed as well) and now he will not be any different as a coach. The future of Hasnain/Afridi and even Babar will be in danger under Misbah. I am not even considering Naseem Shah, Haider or Rohail. They have to wait at least 3-5 years if not more.
 
I will not be surprise even if Sarfraz lead our team for 2023 World Cup under Misbah.

Also forget to mention this SL team is without their main 10 players still Misbah didn't have courage to debut any new player in fact less experience player like Rizwan/Hasnain. When he will give debut to new player? Against Australia?
 
Sarfraz has been only retained to groom Babar for the captaincy role. There is no way he is going to survive with such pathetic performance. Fully expect Sarfraz's exit within 6 months.

The only reason sarfraz is captain of the national side is because of the number one t20 ranking and the management don't want to disturb this winning momentum but i think they are grooming babar azam for national captaincy in the future and have already made babar azam the vice captain of all three formats.It is evident from ehsan manis reluctance to appoint sarfraz for an long period of 3 or 4 years and when he is ever asked by the media to give his view regarding captaincy he always says that we appoint the captain on a series to series bases.This shows mani is aware of the situation.I also have a feeling he will get relieved from captaincy after the t20 world cup and then ultimately he will get dropped from all 3 formats and eventually never get picked again.This is just my assessment though.

This.

As this is the only reason Sarfaraz has been retained and I personally dont agree with this decision as any other mature head like maybe Haris Sohail or Amir could have been given a task for sometime rather than whole team trying to carry Sarfaraz with it.

Also if management have T20 WC in mind and they think Sarfaraz led well in that format then again there was no point of him to remain captain of ODI.

Sarfaraz cant teach him but Babar will get it more experience under his belt in next one year or so but again as mentioned above I dont agree and I think Haris Sohail or Amir could have performed a role for that period.

Babar needs some time to transition into the captaincy role. By appointing him vice captain, PCB has included him in team leadership. When was the last time Pakistan had a vice captain appointed? Babar has just started a new phase in his career as a batsman by scoring impactful runs more consistently at a good strike rate. No wonder, PCB played it safe, they certainly won't want to lose Babar, the batsman.

PCB may not have wanted to create a situation by appointing a temporary captain. We all know what happened back in 2010 when Younis, Yousuf, Malik, and Afridi were all fighting for captaincy. Captaining Pakistan became a joke with Afridi retiring from tests after 1 test. I am all for consistency, if they can hand-over captaincy from Sarfraz to Babar directly.

Imagine, they appoint someone like Imad a captain and then give it to Babar, then the whole dressing room politics would again begin.

HAHA... The irony of saying not to get excited over individuals based on a 1 or 2 year purple patch when saying at the same time that Ishant Sharma is "world-class". In reality he has been mediocre for the majority of his career.

But then again your double standards against Pakistan has been a consistent message throughout PP.
 
His poor form has been ongoing for far too long now.

If it was a case of just a bad patch it wouldn't be an issue, but this bad patch is never-ending.

Confidence looks low, body language is poor - not great signs at all.
 
"Form" lasts a series, or max a season..... Sarfaraz has been flopping like no tomorrow for 2-3 years. So its not form, its his ability that's just how good (read as bad) he is. I was in favour of fresh start after WC but PCB being PCB kept him around. I commend him for regaining his fitness, hopefully he regains some of his batting ability which we saw in 2012-2016, because it seems like we will be stuck with him for the next year or more.

You need to understand the difference between improving and hitting a purple patch.

Ishant Sharma was mediocre for the most of his early career but since Kohli took over as captain, his bowling has gone up a notch. He has been an excellent Test bowler since 2014-15, and a purple patch doesn’t last for half a decade. He has simply improved as a bowler.

On the other hand, Sarfraz hasn’t improved. He hit a rich vein of form for a couple of years and now he is back to his usual mediocrity which we have been witnessing since 2008.
 
Minus that year long purple patch dude is basically of Nayan Mongia level, Sarfi being a better bat while Mongia was a better keeper.

Either you like to mislead people or you just don't know your cricket, but no way you could classify 2014 a "purple patch". 2 matches he was good or a fluke in your own assumptions (sorry hes not Pakistani, therefore can't be a fluke) in otherwise as per usual mediocre year.

Now you'll have us believe that he's "improving", but he's consistently been medicore / poor, averaging between 35-42 thoughout his career. Shame you don't give the same standards to Pakistani players (but we all know the reason for that now don't we?)

Ishant did not have a purple patch. He simply improved as a player. Since Jan 2015, he is averaging 25 and his averages in Australia, England, South Africa, Sri Lanka and West Indies are actually below 25. His worst performances have been at home where he averages 34.

Overall, that is a fantastic record and it shows that he has developed into a world class Test bowler. He is 31 right now, and he has been operating at a world class level since the age of 26. Late 20s and early 30s are generally the peak years of a fast bowler and Ishant has proved that at his peak, he is a world class bowler.

This is also puts his overall record into perspective. He played a lot of cricket at a very young age and was not ready for that responsibility + Dhoni was not a very good captain when it came to handling pacers in Test cricket. It is no coincidence that Ishan’t performance picked up as he matured and he went up a notch under Kohli’s leadership.

Now let’s get to Sarfraz.

He was completely out of his depth until 2013-2014. When Adnan Akmal dislocated his finger prior to the UAE series vs Sri Lanka in January 2014, Sarfraz stepped up and immediately performed. He went through a rich vein of form where he scored three hundreds in three consecutive Test series (SL, Australia, New Zealand) and scored a 96 vs Sri Lanka in the summer of 2015.

He also carried his good form in ODIs, where he scored a half-century against Australia in the UAE in 2014 and then made an impact at the 2015 World Cup. However, since the summer of 2016 when he scored a hundred and a 90 in the ODI series in England, his performances have completely nosedived in all formats.

In the last 3 years, he has hardly played more than 3-4 quality innings across all formats. In Test cricket, he hasn’t scored a hundred in 4 years, and apart from the second Test vs Australia in Abu Dhabi last year, he has been pretty much nonexistent.

Ishant Sharma had a mediocre start but after hitting his peak, he has been world class.

Sarfraz had a mediocre start, had an excellent period of around a couple of years and now he is back to his mediocre-self even though these should be his peak years.

The respective trajectories clearly indicate which player is world class and which player is mediocre. I don’t think I need to spell it out for you.

His body language all game gave an indication that he does want to be out there in middle and also the impression that probably most players in dressing room dont want him in the team or even as captain.
 
Somewhat off-topic but I´m so seriously impressed with the Sarfaraz having shed so much weight within a space of three months or so only. Really looks like a different person altogether. The "Drum belly" has really been shrunk massively. Respect to him for taking the criticism positively and kudos to him for working on it. A sportsperson is more or less supposed to look like that.

I agree with you on this. After 92 tests he still averages 33 and the analysis stops there because any impartial cricket fan can see that he's very average. 278 wickets in 92 tests ain't great reading either [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

I rate you for this.

Pakistan cricket over any regional or player preferences, same can't be said for Misbah's loyalists who support their hero more than the Pakistan team.
 
Thread is about Sarfaraz

Some posters make it their life here to start discussing what comes to their minds instead of looking at the topic.

Getting a little too much now so be warned.
 
It is astounding how Sarfaraz is still part of the sqaud.
I was absolutely sure that he would be the first to be removed after the WC.
But he will continue to torment us for the another year or 2 at least.
His unispiring captaincy, dull presence and poor batting makes it so much harder to watch the match.
 
Everyone can see that Sarfraz needed to be replaced after WC failure and previous results, but the incompetent PCB has other ideas.

Asking nicely.
 
It’s clear that the only reason Sarfraz is still the captain is because we didn’t have any ready alternatives after the World Cup.

If there was some one then they would’ve announced a new captain pretty quickly after the word cup, instead of waiting 2 months.

It’s also criminal to play this guy instead of an inform Rizwan. A guy who scored 2 centuries against Australia at a pretty good pace too, is sitting out in favour of a guy who has the batting consistency comparable to some one like an Afridi.

Whenever [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] makes a criticism on Pakistan team or its players,the Indian team/players are brought into discussion even though he isn't even an Indian or supports the Indian team against the Pakistan Cricket team.The Pakistan fans themselves ruin their discussion by bringing our players without our fans getting involved.It used to annoy me a bit initially but now I enjoy this thing
 
Weak Sri-Lanka? They got there full bowling attack, they are missing just one bowler. Kya baat kara hai.
 
A horrible 24 off 30 balls today in the 1st T20I versus Sri Lanka.

No timing, no shots, really pathetic and selfish innings from a guy who is supposed to be leading from the front.
 
Time to retire. This is the reason why he has always been hiding in the batting order. Just not good enough.
 
One of the worst innings I've ever seen. Also ran Iftikhar out, when will we get rid of this joke of a player.
 
Now I know why he used to demote himself. He successfully hide his terrible batting skill that helped him retaining his captaincy. Or else who would have been kicked out of the squad after WC2019
 
It's over for Sarfraz, he needs to make the right decision or be forced out of the door.

Enough is enough.
 
Should have stepped down after the CT victory. A young , fit Rizwan has been wasted.
