He was removed from the number three position in ODIs where he was doing a great job and was replaced by Younis Khan, a very mediocre ODI batsman![]()
So you are more upset at YK replacing Malik at #3 .... but not at MoYo being removed from #3?
.
Lol nobody moved moyo....the problem is both inzi and moyo were not interested in batting at 3. They both have a very good average at 3 but as soon as they became senior they ran off from that position. Inzi did the same thing.
we should not complain about #3/4/5 as these are taken by legends like azhar, yk and misbah to achieve great totals...
players like malik should be happy to play at #8
and win us matches...
38473th pie on the face.... but who is counting.....
SS where are when you are needed....

BZ wanted YK to score. He rates him on par with Malik because they have similar career paths after 30 tests.
This is normal meal for him.
Now watch him go after Azhar and Misbah.
BZ owned again......

Right
both scored 100s..in their matches...
however, YK could not play the new ball ...
Come on mate give credit where due, it was a marvelous century by Younis!
I am not anti-anyone
I will give credit if pakistan save/win the match...
30 in a win is better than 100 in a loss
Comment on the first day's play.
Don't you rate Younis and Asad's partnership? Dug Pakistan out of a hole, both were in early, under pressure and it was a fantastic partnership.
good effort, however, only important thing is the result...
Would you say the same hadscored that fighting century?
Malik scored one today and secured three points for team, scored 90 in previous match and got another 3 points...
if your team lose, you lose...
i care less if he scores 20/30/60,...you need to deliver the result...
good effort...but only result will tell if thats good enough or not...
But if one person or two are performing and the team still ends up losing because the rest of the team suddenly forgot how to hold a bat...how do we blame the 2 who did their parts and more?
But Malik didnt play against SA, and the way hes been going I doubt he would have made much of an impact (tests).
Malik avg 42+ vs SA..
Yes he is not playing as he is not even in squad...so why all this comparison and debate??
....
to answer your question, (though its irrelevant to this thread), we need consistent players,,,who can score ~45 75% of the times...instead of players who will fail most of the times but will score big 10% of the times...if you want team to win more matches...
to win/draw against SA, 4 out of 6 (66% consistency) top order should click (this means that team would score ~275 per innings)
so every batsmen is responsible to do his part...and here is the status:
NJ: 1/3
Misbah: 1/3
Yk: 1/3
Asad: 2/3
only Asad is doing his part...while others not...(interestingly, i predicted that Asad will be the most successful in SA tour as he is one of the consistent player in the side, though, historically speaking, he is not one who would score big)
Shoaib Malik is a batsman, bowler or an all rounder?
a bit of everything.....bits and pieces
he's also a very good politician, he also has the ability to get into the team despite being so mediocre...
Not to mention, he has scored Sania Mirza.......probably the greatest achievement of his life
qualities to die for![]()

Here comes BZ. Soooo predictable. Team is 1-0 down and 30/4 and two blokes score hundreds but you are not convinced. This is his 21st yes 21st hundred. Now if bowlers don't deliver or others don't deliver it's not Asad's and YKs fault. As for Malik scoring hundred in domestic so does Farhat so what's the big deal. If you think scoring a 100 against the #1 team away from home at 30/4 is same as scoring 100 against no bodies then you need to educate yourself.
His only worthy performances have come against India, against top quality bowlers![]()
who is saying its a big deal...? not me,...
winning/draw is the only important thing...
if farhat scores 30 and win the match/draw match for his team...good..otherwise...not good enough..
Interestingly, Sania Mirza is also from India![]()
You disappear too often. This threads lacks energy without you at times.
i put the E in E = mc^2
i'm too drained/depressed with studies (in final semester of B Sc in CS).....don't want BZ's posts to drive me off the cliff.
Things might not be going great between them, he is taking out the anger on the field![]()
What was the point bringing Malik's first class hundred into this? What about my points about team performance. Show me one test that was won by one play .
Fact 1: you said today that I think both are same...and i added that coincidentally both scored 100 today..
Fact 2: its a shoaib malik support thread, so i think its fair to mention that he scored 100 today and scored 90 in previous match...and get good points for his team...
(adnan scored double(?) but i have not mentioned, asad scored 115+* but i have not mentioned, was waiting someone to bump asad's thread)
except asad all batsmen are culprit...let yk cross 66% consistency then we will consider blaming other players for defeat...
why all this comparison and debate??
Exactly the reason I brought ininto the conversation and you said:
clarification:
comparison with yk?
sm is not even in squad...
have not played a match for lonnnnnng time...
i felt that context was missing...
yk failed in both innings in first match but no one asked about any comparison ...
azhar/hafeez failed 100% of times...should not we talk about them...?
But isnt that was SS is doing also. Talking about...so why differentiate when talking to me about it vs SS.
Also, Im with you with the hafeez and azhar failures...but both have been in good form off late (well maybe not Azhar- but he's still a solid test batsman).
But as a nowler Hafeez is needed, can provide more wickets vs maik.
you seem sensible![]()
lol good reply after a check mate
historically we do the comparison before the squad is announced...
and discuss merit and other stuff...
once the series is started...it becomes (less) meaningless...

Shoaib Malik is the greatest Bradman of all time.
do or die match for Sailkot..against Rawalpindi..(currently at top with 12 points and already qualified for semis)
other two teams (islamabad and khi whites) got zero points but still can qualify for semi..
Sailkot got 6 points with 2 draws (with 1st inning lead) in 2 matches...
if they draw vs rawalpindi they will have 9...which will not be enough...as match between isl vs khi-w can give one of them 9 points...and hence 1 win > 3 draws...Sailkot will be out of tournament...
this begs a question...is the point system fair?
or should matches be of 5 days duration?
Malik could have been ourtoo bad he didn't focus much on his bowling
152 today , averaging 94 in QAE trophy this season!
^^
86 boundaries in 56 innings.... that is less than 2 an innings!
Some of these tailenders have hit bounderies at better ratio than our Bradman!
Swann.... 212 boundaries in 103 innings..
Harbhjan.... 141 boundaries in 65 innings..
Bresnon..... 105 boundaries in 53 innings..
...and the sad part is... Malik is in contention for both ODI and T20s selectiosn for South Africa!

Amazing stat this ..hahaha![]()
played 6 innings, 2 100s and 2 50s
avg 94+
taking wickets
captaining the team...
and as expected trying his best to win the tournament...
I really hope that final and ODIs do not have clash..
they wont be picked for sailkot, however they can be picked for Pakistan test squad (for SA) ... (they just need a khi domicile![]()
sit :iqbalqasim
currently, Sailkot team >>> Pakistani current test team...
Yaar khelne do iss ko iss ke level pe. Kyun SA main mitti paleed karwani hai.
What happened to SS in CL in SA?

Did not YK just score a fantastic hundred coming at 30/4?
- Pakistan lost
- Even tanvir avg 54 in thatr match (tanvir is a tail ender)
- as soon as new ball came, yk gone
- he failed (as expected) in second inning
and Pakistan lost...
yk, failed 3 out of total 4 innings...
33% == Fail
When talentless wonder scores a test hundred against Styen Philander and Morkel in SA let me know.
yk just did.
YK is pure class. 52 avg, 21 hundreds, 4 v SA. Two world class hundreds against #1 team in last 12 months. Talentless wonder has been dumped from test squad for good.
Merit in your eyes= Picking Malik despite one decent score in 50 innings.
Here is the merit.....

Why did you cut off the list at Shuvo???
why don't you want the World to see that Malik is better than those two and also the dozens of people you're hiding from that list...
Haters gonna hate![]()
