Shadab Khan Support Thread - Champions Trophy

[Manager101]

After hearing the news regarding probability of Shadab Khan could be dropped, I am bit worried we might lose one of our rare potential match-winner in current squad, hence, lets all fully support Shadab Khan, lets hope selectors change their mind and keep him in CT squad.

 

[fazleefridi]

Haha just because you support Here, selectors will retain him

Pigs might fly

 

[Rayyman]

We need a spinner for the CT. Currently, there is only Imad "Darter" Wasim.

Shadab adds another dimension with leg-spin. Plus, he can bat at 8 or 9 and be handy.

 

[super hitter]

no spinners for CT, good enough

 

[Speedster777]

Without Shadab we will miserably lose. there's no question he's is a potential match winner for us. None of the big teams have played against him dropping him would be suicidal for us. Hafeez budha and akmal should be dropped.

 

[czar]

He could be Pakistan's Trump card against India.

 

[Syed1]

Thank you Inzi and Mickey.

 

[Pete Rose]

pakistan will not get enough runs on board in any game. bowlers, will never have anything to defend.

That's exactly the kind of optimism we need going into a world tournament.

I didn't said Selectors will retain him, main point is showing our support to the most promising young bowler of Pakistan and we can hope for the best.

well, one can never have enough optimism, but the lightweight pedigree of the batting personnel trumps everything.

Kindly read the below mentioned lines, once again. Thank you.

lol, technically, I should have put a full stop after Khan.

Although my statement might be misleading but message is conveyed.

 

[idrizzy]

Where are the reports? All I see are comments but no article?

 

[Adil_94]

needs to be selected. Imad Hafeez n Malik are too dimensional too lead our spin attack in LOIs. N Yasir is rubbish in LOIS

 

[NauV]

Travesty if the news is true! The think tank of Pakistan never ceases to amaze! Shadab khan had the most unbelievable PSL and also T20 and ODI series in WI . . and there are reports of dropping him?! are you kidding me??

Regardless of where the tournament is being held . . leg spinners are match winners . . Shadab has displayed his potential over the past 5 months and should only improve from here . . let alone the fact that he is a handy batsman as well . .

No team in the world plays decent leg spin well . . Imran Tahir is the number 1 bowler in the world! And I genuinely don't think he is THAT good . . he is a good bowler and thats about it . .

I sincerely hope that some sense prevails and they don't mess with this boys confidence . . someone who we were all touting as the next big thing from Pakistan . . and he hasn't really done anything to deserve this . .

You really don't need leggies in ODIs these especially on those 444 wickets. This is not the same PSL/Caribbean type wickets that he has bowled on. He might get hammered. Abbas is a better option.

Abbas will get hammered.

 

[Mamoon]

Seems like his graph has pummeled in the eyes of the management after a poor Test debut.

inzi ko experience chahy..

 

[Boi]

The rumours of him being dropped are completely false. Chill.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Abbas will get hammered.

If it comes to that, even Junaid and Wahab can get hammered. Only Aamir and maybe Hassan might have some control. What attack do you think Pakistan should field in the ODIs? I don't think a young leggie should be playing this tournament with barely any experience.

Imad and 4 seamers are the way to go imo.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

We dont need leggies in odis

then why Imran Tahir and Zampa are the most threatening odi spinners currently ?

 

[fazleefridi]

It should be.

7.Imad(Spin AR)

8.Fahim(Seam AR)(You can't go with 4 genuine bowlers in the modern one day games. Wouldn't bowl worse than Wahab and Junaid, with extra advantage of his batting)

9.Amir(Can bat a bit)

10.Hassan(Can hit a few)

11.Abbas/ Junaid/ Wahab

Hafeez being in the playing 11, is inevitable. So, Hafeez and Fahim would be the 5th bowling option.

I don't care who they play. Just wanted to clarify Abbas will get hammered on a true pitch.

 

[Hasan123]

Nothing suprises me with the revolutionary anymore.

Hopefully Shadab isn't dropped.

 

[Slog]

Adil Rashid has show that leggies can be a success in ODIs in England. And shadabs ceiling is higher than anything Rashid can dream of so its a poor decision if true

 

[Manager101]

Semi Final

Its imperative for Pakistan to select Shadab Khan against England.

English players negotiate pace bowling pretty well, only factor they are bit tentative is against quality leg-spin and in my opinion, Shadab is the best wicket taking spin option for us.

 

[LordEddardStark]

Shadab Khan for Imad Waseem today!!! Only way to get any wickets through 20 overs of spin.

 

[Brilliance]

He needs to use his googly more often today.
