I'm an Anaesthetist. You'd be surprised what you can catch up on once you put the patient under.

I'm only joking.....






...I only watch TV shows once the patient is safely anaesthetised.

Lol I know. Just found his response hilarious.
 
I think many people on this thread need some burnol. And I agree with Fk this thread exists because of the haters. As for every favorable comment for Malik we get 10-15 posts attacking Malik which keeps this thread going.
With Malik performing many have now resorted to cheap shots about bradman etc as have no logical argument to bash him anymore.
Malik is the better limited overs batsman compared to YK and Misbah. While they are better test batsman.
Malik should have never been removed from the limited overs captaincy but previously we had too many premadonnas in the team to have multiple captains otherwise there was no reason to remove Malik.

We don't need Burnol. We need more classy performances from the Don. Those amazing 50's to finish off games in the SL-Zim series were the best. :bow:

Shoaib Malik has some unique qualities as a member of the current Pak team. He can do what others cant,
He cannot bat, he cannot bowl and he cannot catch.

Now how many players in the world have this unique combination of qualities?

No body has all of these qualities in the current team.

Therefore, in order to save this precious treasure he should be tied, put in an airtight drum and locked in a container, ship the container to Sialkot and keep it in a locked warehouse until Pakistan have completed the tour to England in Aug, 2010.


Anything less than that and we would see him playing for Pakistan again and wasting his talents. He must be preserved and not wasted.!!

Make that 2020 and this post still holds true
 
If our test cricket was the set of the Lion King, Misbah would be Mufasa, Younis Khan would be Scar, and Shobby Dobby would be SIMBA. The rightful heir to Misbah (at least in ODIs), time for him to take over IMHO.

The most recent claim by one of our HK [MENTION=56866]Bullet Drive[/MENTION] is that since he has scored 36, it's equivalent to a century.

Making 70 will amount to a double ton by Malik.

It's not an unreasonable assessment to be honest, his bat does transform 1 run into 3.
 
Should have scored a century at least just had to face 2-3 more overs before spins came back from both ends.

Would be interesting to see the breakdown of the number of balls per bowler he faced. Stokes bowled poorly, otherwise his stay may have been shorter.
 
Unless he takes 5 wickets in this test and scores a 50 in second innings or he scores a 75+ in second innings curtains are going to fall on Shoaib Malik's test career very soon.

His bowling might cause some problems, because the turn on this pitch has already shaken the psyche of the English team.

Don't think it's a triple. Definitely around 150 though!

Because one of the HK claimed that 70 is a double ton:

70+ here is equal to a double ton at Abu Dhabi

He didn't manage 70, but what he scored was definitely more than 100.

You simply can't take his runs at their face value.

Despite what I have written I don't see much chances of shoaib being retained in the side unless he plays a significant (match winning) innings in the second innings which seems highly unlikely . Curtains are around.
 
Out of the 91 balls he faced today he faced;

13 balls from Anderson and 5 balls from Broad.

Pretty much says it all.

Its his comeback.

He made a comeback after 5 years, his test match 245 on debut was an Afridi fastest 100 equivalent.

Hence whatever else he does for the rest of the series is a bonus.

Him only being involved in the final 11 is an honor for us.
 
He got unlucky, and like I said before he was wearing half sleeves today instead of full sleeves as he usually does meaning he had to protect his arms from bouncers.
 
And Misbah surpasses Malik.



Malik should tie Misbah's shoe laces today.
Misbah is the undoubted king of FTB's.
 
Also he made more runs than his test average, that means he is improving, so chill out.

Dehydration can also happen in such inhumane weather.

Shabaash Malik, koi baat nahi, hota hai.
 
It's unfair to make Azar open so that Malik can bat at no.3. Malik at best should be used in the lower order if he is selected but if that means Azar has to open then I rather he not be in the XI. Ahmed Shehzad or Masood should be opening with Hafeez with Azar at no.3
 
Did nothing today and was scared of the fast bowlers like our other pathetic batsmen. Malik needs to be dropped forever.

This whole thing about him turning over a new leaf was just him being an FTB and nothing else.

It only proves Malik worries about his stats. And he plays for himself rather than for the team.

In the end he will skew stats in his favor and claim in an interview that

'I played at an average of 60 in the whole test match series, and I was unfortunate to be dropped.'

Thanks MM!!

Just got busy with real life..

I was reading PP to check about pitch report for 3rd test match and noticed few old friends mentioned me so I thought to say hi to them.
 
Got a crucial breakthrough against Moeen today who was running away with the game otherwise.

Let's see if Shobby can nab a few more and make up for the first innings.

No problem. Glad you are back now. :)

I can understand that. Besides, you did the right time by leaving forum at a time when this thread got creepier and creepier. And it has come to the point that this thread is now 100% ghetto for his haters to revel their admiration for his lifestyle they cannot afford. :jf

Just don't get too much involved with those creepy mentally-disturbed ppers here. I am not saying just to provoke them. They really are creepy mentally-disturbed ppers, and in fact, they are proven certified ones. :facepalm:

A reminder of what [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] has summed it perfectly no long ago which attests to the debate with 'others' no longer worth it anymore. :|

totally agree with this..some people just don't understand the latent and majesty that malik brings to our game..I mean the footwork against Anderson and co was just sublime..loved the way Broad just held his head in his hands in despair when Malik was smashing him to all parts in the first innings of this sharjah test!! great innings..

This is why this guy is such a gentleman and why he generates so much respect around the globe:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cr...s-star-Sania-Mirza-drives-him-to-succeed.html

Any other man would be jealous of is wife's success, but not Malik, she inspires him and the first thing he did after getting to 200 was to call her rather than boast about his achievement like a few other "seniors" in Pakistan.

Very hard to understand the animosity some disturbed folks have against him. Oh well, even Superman has haters for all the good he does.

Let's back him for another 200 to save this game, INSH ALLAH.

Oh please... Batman is a hack who can't do **** without his weaponry. Without all his gadgets and toys superman will destroy him, just like Malik destroys Anderson if there was nothing in the pitch.

By the way the only bouncers Malik has ever hidden from are the ones in front of night clubs when he goes there with his wife. They keep begging for his autograph so he has to take cover from them. :liam
 
Some quote excerpted from the articled posted by [MENTION=136729]Suleiman[/MENTION] above.

“When you play a Test after five years you want to do well and all the eyes are on you,” said Malik. “Performance is the key no matter what format you play and being a senior cricketer after five year absence expectations were high. Yes I am disappointed to have not played a single Test in the past five years but it is good that I am back and I was not really expecting that one day I would play Test cricket again but the dream came true and I did well.”

Malik is now looking ahead to a tour of England next summer and reveals he has signed for Durham next year as well so he will be seeing a lot of his current opponents over the next 12 months.

# On bold; good news is that he has signed for Durham county to get practice in advance before the test series in England next year. Wishing ills on him is useless because he has a guaranteed spot for the next year regardless of his performance in on-going 3rd Test. :jf

He thought 10 steps ahead of his rival seniors Misbah and Younis and got himself lined up for a county season to get rid of his very slight weakness to short stuff.

I am a bowling allrounder. This was my rebirth. 245 was just a once in a blue moon knock :afridi
 
Zulfiqar 'specialist' Babar:

7 wickets at an average of 54 and a SR of 146.5

Shoaib 'useless part-timer' Malik:

8 wickets at an average of 25 and a SR of 47

Malik has one more wicket even though he has bowled more than 100 overs less than Babar. That is how toothless the latter has been.

So what happened to the 'Malik will be rubbish because he averages 60' theory?

Mind you, you don't need stats to know that Babar has been rubbish. Not just this series but throughout 2015.

He is a part-timer now and so is Malik, but the latter can bat much better than him. This is why some of us were advocating for Malik to be played as a second spinner ahead of Babar, because we could have played an extra batsman.
[MENTION=134608]Hawkeye[/MENTION] [MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION]

Malik should be playing at 6 to hold even in these conditions and he can be a good test player when in form.

What is so groundbreaking about Malik's spin 15 years into an International career.

Everyone knows he's a part timer, and not good enough to be a 2nd choice spinner.

Zulfi for whatever his stats has bowled much better than his stats suggest.

I remember Hafeez getting a similar 4'fer was South Africa in Test matches. Wiping out the tail.

But we needed Hafeez the batsman more than we need Hafeez the bowler.

Same is the case with Malik.

Getting a 4'fer doesnot excuse his pathetic batting performances.

You can repeat it as any times as you want but it doesn't change the fact that with/without stats, Babar has been rubbish.

Both him and Malik are nothing more than part-time options, but at least one can bat much better than the other.

That is all.

You of all people should know that pressure yields wickets.

When one bowler builds up the pressure, the other end is the one that reaps rewards.

Bowlers hunt in pairs. Zulfi keeps it tight from one end, and Yasir picks up wickets.

Malik was the beneficiary today because England was going after him.

But you cannot expect Malik to set a trap like Babar did to Bairstow, that was text book test match bowling.

Fantastic arm ball by Baber, after he set up bairstow with 3 that spun a large mile.
 
Stats don't show that he does have a thinking brain behind that old body of his.

He worked out Bairstow and looked our most threatening bowler in the morning.

Malik bowled well, no doubt. Not taking credit away, but his supporters will point out his bowling to excuse his batting, which is unacceptable if you are a 1 down.
 
Zulfiqar has been rubbish throughout the series and throughout the year. This isn't hindsight, it was foresight for those who realized how toothless Babar has been in 2015.

Defenders gonna defend of course. People are happy to focus on Babar's 2/3 good dismissals sandwiched between a pile of rubbish. He has lacked penetration and has been impotent. Yes he was economical, but it's not as if Malik has been going at 6 rpo. His ER is respectable as well, and his bowling has been more aggressive and penetrative.

Those who are saying that this doesn't deflect his batting, well it doesn't, but he is picked as an A/R not as a batsman; even in batting alone, he has been decent. Brilliant 245 in the first Test and although he failed in the second, his cameo in the first innings here was useful in context.

He has had a very good series as an A/R and has amply performed the role he has been given. It is hilarious that the likes of [MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION] are defending Moeen's rubbish performance because he is opening the innings when he isn't an opener, but are not prepared to give leeway to Malik who is batting at 3 even though he isn't a top-order Test batsman.

He is a good A/R for Tests in UAE/subcontinent/WI provided he bats in the middle/lower-order. He is not a number 3 and should not play Test cricket in England, Australia, SA, NZ etc. He will fail at any number there and his bowling will be redundant.

Misbah had Malik in for his bowling option and it proved handy. Malik will probably be dropped now as that allrounder won't be needed against India and in England.

He needs to score a lot of runs in the ODI's now to keep his critics shut.
 
After today's dismissal where his leg got stuck, Chris Martin would be proud.

He was selected on the back of good batting form in LOI cricket.
 
Maliks time is up he will be replaced by a proper opener with Azhar reverting back to 3.

Bilal Asif will be the test off spinner if required along with Yasir.

Nope. After Hafeez's ban they wanted that off-spin allrounder. It basically what got Malik back in the ODI's as well.

That's why Misbah requested Azhar and Waqar to test out Bilal Asif. But Bilal then got reported and they went for Malik.
