who is a better opener and deserves a place in Odi team ?
 
If shehzad sorts his issues out he's a better player but Sharjeel is more suited to modern day LO cricket. Sharjeel will be in the squad for the odis I think
 
They are equally bad as each other but I will have sharjeel over him still. Sami aslam should be the opener.
 
Sharjeel easily. No comparison. Give him a consistent chance in ODIs. Shehzad is trash
 
In tests: Shehzad.
in ODI: Sharjeel.

At the least Sharjeel doesn't waste 50-60 deliveries. But I'd rather have someone else than these two.
 
Sharjeel won't last an over against topley. Shahzad has no chance in hell of being picked. I'd go with Shahzad if given the option.

Either way sami and azhar will open so it's a pointless discussion

Sharjeel, but a so-called professional athlete with his fitness and body shape should be booted out of domestic cricket, let alone get selected for the national team.
 
There's this pattern going on between sharjeel and Shahzad.

Shahzad plays awful over a period of 6 months, people forget how bad sharjeel is in the meantime and beg for him. Sharjeel comes in the team and plays awful cricket, in the meantime we forget how awful Shahzad is and beg him to come back. This process keeps on repeating. We are in the sharjeel stage now a days [emoji14]

When both play together it's hard to distinguish who's worse.

Exactly. Sharjeel costs the team 20 runs atleast. Shahzad saves maybe 10 15. He has that going for him. Sami over either

Shehzad

Sharjeel is pathetic
and so is Shehzad

but Shehzad is still the better choice

you guys just love to jump on the bandwagon of every player
 
Sharjeel

It's not even a question

Both are equally inconsistent and will get out for few runs.

But Sharjeel makes his failures short and sweet unlike Shehzad who first makes us go through mental torture by scoring 20 runs in 50 balls
 
Sharjeel any day over selfie artist.

One of them has an avg of 17 with a Sr of 80. The other has an average of 34 with a Sr of 72. Do tell me how is this not even a question? I know Shahzad isn't the best going around but in a strict comparison of these 2 only people how consider Afridi a good batsman would go for sharjeel.

Playing dot balls in the modern ODI game is a dangerous thing to do. Shehzad is the type of player to get out on 1 from 19 balls. Sharjeel is not a perfect opener by any means but he'll give a quick fire start. If Shehzad sorts out his attitude as well as his technical flaws in not piercing the gap in the field as well as his strike rate then we have a brilliant opener here.
 
These are his very apparent deficiencies but these can be surely sorted out. However, for the time being he deserves to be left out so that he can improves on his game. I dont know why people love to bring up "selfies" in a discussion of who should play and who should not.
 
One is hack a t20 hack

The other is a test hack

I know it doesn't really make sense but that's how I see them
 
I am no fan of Shehzad,but he has more potential than Sharjeel.

Sharjeel should be tried right now though.
 
But if Sharjeel sorts out his fitness and technical flaws and Shehzad sorts out his attitude and his flaws then both can become good players

But that's unlikely to happen

Sorry mate in Tests : Jaahid Ali
Shehzad has blown away his opportunities with his poor attitude.
A couple of more A tours in tougher conditions and you will unearth a couple of more batsmen

I know.I personally don't want Shehzad or Junior in the team atm.Would rather give a chance to other players.
But Sharjeel is unarguably a hack.Not that Shehzad is much better but he has more potential.

Their success chances are same

But the thing is for Sharjeel success looks like a fifty at 100+ SR and for Shehzad it's a fifty at 75-80 SR

Seriously, have you seen jaahid play!
Sami aslam is the future, even though he is a slow player, jaahid is the same! You cant play both. Otherwise you will have a score of 180 after a full days play!
Must be sami and shezzie for tests.

I will replace YK with Azam and Hafeez with Jaahid. Azam has a better strike rate than the Pathan and that will balance the Jaahid effect
 
This is for all the people over here in favour of jahid

I remember back when Shahzad performed in his youth u19 days and how Pakistan made him debut against Australia at the age of 17. And then continued on with him. Had they spent more time on him and worked on his flaws he surely would have been a 40 avg player by now.

We Pakistanis love to jump on the backs of and good u19 prospect we see and claim him to be the savior of our team. This isn't something new. Jaahid should be kept in the domestic circle for 2 3 years so that he comes out a finished product. Australians and the English debut their players around 25 26 27 (on average) and they have been the best teams around. They too have talented players but they are sensible.

Everybody on the jaahid train will be against him in 6 years time. Same happened with Shahzad. Jaahid plays against teams where sharjeel has been scoring tons. Lol

Would have agreed with you big time if our domestic was even half as good as the County ckt or the Sheffield. Just tell me how many seasons has Aslam played? If Jaahid has batted well in tough conditions this proves he is good. He has performed better than the seasoned domestic compaigners like Sharjeel and Fakhar.
And eve the PPs darling Azam

He may be a good player I'm disagreeing but be hasn't played enough matches to be a good enough measure of how he'll perform in international. The most recent performances were against England lions where he scored big runs but against them sharjeel khan got tons as well. International bowlers don't let sharjeel last 2 overs. Now imagine Shahzad playing against England lions, I wouldn't be surprised be 150s given sharjeel scored 100s. So this is the problem at the moment. For now azhar isn't going anywhere and sami is also set to be the opener, maybe we should not demand jaahid in the team now. Maybe 2 3 years later when he may be a much better player(through experience).

Either way the fans should grow up and stop getting on every talented u19 train we see.

Then continue playing Hafeez. I am not for Shehzad unless he improves his behaviour big time.
and I just don't understand; attitude for what. He is no Kohli or KP
 
Jaahid, Sami Aslam they aren't ODI players, not good options. People should not think about them.

Regarding OP, i would take Rafatullah over Shehzad, and you are asking Sharjeel?
 
I want Nasir Jamshed back, Pcb should do something about this guy, one of the best openers we had

Kamran Akmal is the second name coming in my mind

Hopefully we don't see any of these to for the opening slot at least, cause Sharjeel can conquer Afridi's place down the order quite easily, adding those extra bit of runs should be his job.
 
Ahmad Shahzad is crap, Sharjeel Khan without a shadow of a doubt
 
I bet even [MENTION=141718]LowKiiSavage[/MENTION] can bat better than Shehzad. Mate, don't underestimate yourself! Anyone's a better bat than Ahmed "tendulkar" Shehzad.

I actually am a very good batting all rounder in real life but all jokes apart, shehzad has better technique and tempremant than Sharjeel. However, this is going to fall on deaf ears..

Sharjeel will hardly be a consistent rungetter but He has ability to win us 1 or 2 Odi's every 10 matches with his batting.

Shehzad cannot :( :'(

Jaahid Ali hit a great century against England lions and he out scored Babar Azam

Sami Aslam's prime format is odi, he averages about 50 in list A, and second highest run scorer in under 19s with an average of 48.

To give a better comparison Shehzad has played the same amount of matches as Sami at under 19. While Shehzad has 2 centuries, Sami has 8 and twice as many 50s.

No.

Sami & Imam are very close to being selected for Odi squad. May be a series or two away.

Ahmed Shehzad has won you matches in South Africa, New Zeland of all places; i expect better analysis from a poster like you TSPK.

I still am okay with not selecting him in ODIs but we shouldnt ruin our test team by not playing him. Sami and Shehzad would be ideal test openers.
 
A player of Shehzad's caliber is now being compared with a nobody like sharjeel khan. Pak fans never cease to amaze me. :facepalm:
 
Theres a lot of unless hate for Shahzad here at pp. I would have him as an opener over hafeez and sharjeel in any format.

I respect your feelings emotions and analysis.


I once believed in him.


I would take Imam, Naeemuddin, Ahsan, Sharjeel etc over him.


I can name you 8 Pak Openers who will average 40 plus in UAE, Zim, Bangladesh & 2-3 grounds of SL.


But i want openers who can perform outside their comfort zones aswell. Like Sami did.

Shehzad is the best opener in our country along with Sami Aslam.
 
Days of shehzad are over for at least a year I am afraid.

Azhar and sami will open in odis.

Shehzad has a long wait now.
 
So guys, what do you make of sharjeel after having seen him play during 2 series ?
 
Ahmed Shehzad is the next captain material to be honest. Sharjeel is probably the most entertaining batsman in the Pakistan line up, he should open up with Shehzad.

I will choose Shehzad because he is the current Bieber.
 
Shehzad should be out of the team for a year or two. Maybe if Sharjeel fails in Test matches, then Shehzad can replace him.

on what basis

he failed in current domestic fc before running away
 
Ahmed Shehzad as a cricketer should not be discussed on this forum until he delivers a full meaningful apology for running away from domestic cricket and then actually performs in domestic cricket.

Until he does this he shouldn't even exist in the eyes of Pakistan fans. Shown nothing but disdain for the fans and players who put effort in for even 1 cap or to attend 1 game. Pathetic attitude.
 
People still consider Shehzad to be a cricketer ?? Lol.....

Even if I blindfold Sharjeel and tied one of his hands behind his back he would probably outperform Shehzad anywhere in the world. As someone correctly pointed out earlier, Shehzad has the potential to play for the Kenyan A team and that is only if one of their main openers is injured or resting.
 
Rayyman said:
But his Test match record isn't that bad. So he has a reason to justify his selection.

By that reasoning we should recall Asim Kamal as well i guess. And ofcourse Fawad Alam. though in fawad's case he has domestic performances

At least he isn't a TTF like Khurram. He is the best right handed opener in domestics.

What domestocs

he only played (and failed in) 2 domestic fc games this year despite having no other cricketing commitments.

infact he was even appointed captain but failed to take interest and let his department down

after playing and failing in 2 of the first 6 games he was available for, he went away to BPL
 
Its a no-brainer.

I'd take Sharjeel rather than Shehzad everytime.

Used to have trust in Shehzad but since his World T20 outing, I've lost all faith in him. Seems to have regressed terribly.

Apart from that Sharjeel actually puts the bowler under pressure and can pretty much ensure that 50-60 runs will be scored in 1st 10 overs. Plus he doesn't waste deliveries.
 
Sharjeel because he is responsible for his wicket only and on a poor day doesn't waste balls and gets out.

Ahmad on his usual poor day sucks all the momentum from the start. And even then his once in a blue moon fifty comes at a point where other batters get out ,because of his tuk tuk ,trying to up the run rate.Pakistan is always behind in such matches.Not to mention his wanna be attitude and internal politics.
 
Since his comeback, Sharjeel has averaged 41 with a strike rate of 133....

Sharjeel is a breath of fresh air in this one dimensional batting line up, but his fielding and fitness is beyond atrocious. Seen more fit cricketers in club cricket.

Sharjeel's fielding is not too bad, because I remember him taking some excellent catches....He just didn't have a good day in the field today
