It was selfish to the core. Getting set by playing 6 dot balls? what is he, Chris Gayle that he'd murder bowling later on?
He has worse power game than infamous Fawad Alam, and gets bogged down when scoring rate is 6+. Has not won a single game when chasing (plus most of his performances have been against a weak Windies side)
what are you about? he has a track record of batting selfishly, which for a young batsman is quite impressive. check his centuries in Australia, check his batting in PSL, check his batting in West Indies, the guy is simply playing for himself right now
The guys got the highest SR out of all of our front line batsmen - if he's being selfish what does that say about the rest?
In Australia the guy was batting on 86 and he went to 100 in 5 balls with 3 boundaries and 2 singles - not particularly selfish. He ended up scoring 100 in 109 balls.
In West Indies - I've already acknowledged the innings where he & everyone in the team slowed down ridiculously as he was approaching is 100, however, as I mentioned in my original post, IMO that was a one off.
You don't need to be Chris Gayle to take time to settle in before playing your shots. You have to be a sensible batsman aka. anyone other than Afridi.
Strike rotation is a problem in the team - however - that is a problem right through our batting line up and you can see the team are trying to work on it, and being incapable of rotating the strike doesn't make you selfish.
I would argue that someone like Hafeez - who cannot rotate the strike and refuses to hit out in the fear of losing his wicket - is a lot more selfish, rather than someone like Babar or even Azhar Ali who also are not the best at rotating the strike, however, at least they try to smack a few quick runs.
You guys are getting fixated on the 'he played 6 dot balls' issue and deeming his selfish based on that - however, the fact is that 99% of batsmen need a few balls to get his eye in and for him to go out and start slogging from ball 1, would have been irresponsible and Afridi-like of him. Sure - it would have been good if he could have rotated the strike, however, being unable to do so doesn't make him selfish.
On top of that you add the fact that he got out after trying to hit back to back fours & it wasn't as if he nicked one behind whilst trying to defend - it sound very silly to call him selfish following yesterdays inning.
Inability to rotate strike and batting selfishly are two very different things and based on your posts it sounds like you are confusing the two - especially you KyoOne
