Shoaib Malik Support & Performance Watch

Should Malik be in the plans for the 2019 WC?

    421

I honestly don't think any of the sensible posters should waste their time here any longer. Anwaar is on a payroll it seems and he is definitely not going to change his mind.
 
To judge whether a batsman is the best, simply the average is not good enough

You have to look at
(i) The average
(ii) Number of runs scored (eg Yasir Arafat's 47 average isn't enough to judge him at the 9th best batsman of all time because he has one 1 match)
(iii) The number of 100s
(iv) No of Match winning innings
(v) Consistency
(vi) Success against different oppositions etc etc etc

Which is why Malik's average of 40 against South Africa based on just 211 runs is not fair to judge his performance against them yet because sample is too sample. Furthermore he hasn't played a single big innings which clearly shows average is magnified because of not outs

Most elements are redundant
As 100s are already included in average and match winning innings also include in average and possibly also in number of 100s and also in match winning innings...

Parameters must be mutually independent.
 
Mr. Anwaar, please reply to post # 1530.

Thank You.

Mr. Paracha,

Mr. Anwaar only responds to selective posts and it is unfortunate he has ignored your post. It must be because you have asked him a sensible question and put him on the spot and he is unable to respond therefore he thought it was best he ignored you.

For details and stats please refer to previous posts over the past 20 pages in this thread.

Thank you.

Its good fun on Eid night after a boring day spent with uncles and aunties.
 
You are not taking notice, people don't believe in averages man!.

Just like you don't beleive in 28 failures in a row and still insisting that he should be integral part of the team?

Let me ask you the question one more time;

In how many matches do you think a batsmen has to fail before you decide... enough is enough?
 
That is last 30 matches .... which different than the perspective I am presenting above. I am showing that he has failed in 28 innings in a row.

It's not reasonable to jumble all the formats together...

In last 10 T20I he averages close to his career average
and few points drop in last 10 ODIs and Tests.

Nothing to be worried about...

Plus you have added so many in failures where he did really well...

to point out couple
his 58 against Aus in Aus
Also when he was second highest against Eng.

Mr. Anwaar,

Please explain the reason that you mentioned I know. To be honest, I'm not aware of any reason.

I can't go to sleep because your peer's name is not in All time World XI and it bothers me. Justice is not being done.

Can you help and tell me the reason?

In any case he would get C-minus :sami

At least I'll pass.

You, on the other hand, wouldn't even pass in a special needs school.

Heard Mcdonalds laid you off because you tried to spread Malik-ism at your work place. It's okay keep living off of welfare son.

I knew, you will not have an answer!
"not reasonable"??? Just because you are saying it? Which team would have played any player (even Bradman) if he had failed in 28 innings in a row. You find me one example in 100 year of cricket history, I send you $20.

Who cares what his average was and what the average is now.

His last 12 test innnings:
2, 32, 9, 3, 58, 19, 26, 10, 38, 9, 3, 3 = 212 runs in 6 test @ 17.66 ave.

His last 9 ODI innings:
27, 2, 26, 11, 28, 2, 36, 8, 39 = 179 runs @ 19.88 ave and 66.05 S/R

His last 7 T20 innings:
6, 7, 3, 33, 13, 21, 12 = 95 runs @ 13.57 ave and 94.05 S/R

I have been following cricket for a long time but have never seen a batsman out of form this bad... and still so many chance given!

Since September 30, 2009 ... 73 batsmen have scored 200 or more test runs. Malik is at # 70! :))
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...9;spanval1=span;template=results;type=batting

Since September 30, 2009 ... 135 batsmen have scored 150 or more ODI runs. Malik is at # 122! :)) Yes, YK is below him and YK also does not belong in ODI team.
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...9;spanval1=span;template=results;type=batting

You need to get worried becuase what if PCB decides that all current players (Asad Sahfiq, Umar Akmal, Azhar Ali, Misbah, YK, Fawad) will keep playing until all of them have failed for 28 innings each. If that is the case, then Malik better keep attending Tennis tournaments for next couple of years! ;-)

Great post and agree with every single point.YK did not deserve to be in ODI side but played OK in ODI series 2 50s in 5 meaning he here to stay.Malik should be a very worried man right now.

I'll respond but first some pending issues...

You returned to averages again?
you claimed you had "different point of take" as compared to SS...

as I mentioned few of his above par innings, are you willing to accept that you over-stated that he failed in last "some random number" matches/innings?
plus one sorry is pending when you misquoted innings/matches...right?
 
God knows why his thread has dragged onto 20th page.

Mr. Anwaar if you can give me a reasonable answer why your peer is not in All time World XI, you will win this thread.
 
Here is the accurate list ... see where your "hero" is;

W63L35,

We didn't get along in the Miandad vs. Inzi thread, but you, sir, have earned my respect. Let this be a start of a wonderful internet friendship. (a shickelburger emoticon would be PERFECT for this moment)

Anwaar your defense for Malik is atrocious

I completely understand you like Malik as a player and I respect that. Everyone has personal preferences. But to defend him like this despite him averaging 17 in his last 28 innings (thanks for the info W63L35) is in bad taste to be honest

Like a true fan and supporter you should be asking Malik to go through first class cricket, perform, and get back in the side with his chest high rather than basing it on utterly rubbish statistical manipulation.

If Malik performs, like he did in his first QeA match of the season, and continues to do so, and is still not selected, I will stand by you and ask for Malik's inclusion in all formats in which he has performed in first class cricket based on merit.
But really, this has got to stop mate, support him like a true fan, not a blind one :)

An excellent poster I must say, have enjoyed reading his posts immensely since he rejoined.

Good going mate, keep it up !!!
 
Anwaar's getting a classic pawnage by the hands of W63L35!

Get a life idiot.

I haven't seen anyone keep their cool and dismantle Anwaar's statistics like this. Usually you just get too frustrated. Its like arguing with a brick wall. Kudos to you sir.

No. I just compared him ... how he faired with other batsmen in the other teams. You want to use S/R, I can use S/R.


I'll s I mentioned few of his above par innings, are you willing to accept that you over-stated that he failed in last "some random number" matches/innings?
What kind of point/argument this is??? I asked you a simple question.... which other team will still keep playing a player who has failed 28 innings in a row and you are yet to reply.

He does this for a living.Please take some time to go through this thread.All these questions have been asked many times.WL has just taken it to another level I must say.
 
Fair play to you for going through these lists from Anwaar.I gave up ages ago.


I don't know what list he's talking about...

only new lists are updated ones, rest are re-telecast from this very thread....

thats why I ask "new comers" to go through the thread first...
(though today I am thinking about to post SM FAQ or prepare a write-up titled "SM for Dummies").

Isn't that a prerequisite to be a Shoaib Malik fan anyways? :ibutt
 
Thanks for reminder....

Sayonara
Why don't you answer the questions that are being asked.

Why ignore them because your underwear can be seen by people?

When you argue, you answer all questions. Learn the art of arguing. Post # 1530 still awaits your response.
 
to point out couple
his 58 against Aus in Aus
One fifty in 28 international inning ...... success!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What form..... what a batmans!

Also when he was second highest against Eng.
2nd highest in what??? Runs, average, S/R ????? :)))


What is this list supposed to be by the way... minus Zulqarnain????



Incorrect statement.
Allow me to rephrase, please;

Which other team will still keep playing a player who has failed 27 innings in last 28 innings with only ONE score of above 50?

So soon???? I was just done warming up! ;-)

It was actually presented by SS, 2/3 pages ago and responded promptly at that time.


Like a true fan and supporter you should be asking Malik to go through first class cricket, perform, and get back in the side with his chest high rather than basing it on utterly rubbish statistical manipulation.

You change FC structure, format and based selection on FC performance and i would agree with you.
Till then, we have to agree on disagreement.


If Malik performs, like he did in his first QeA match of the season, and continues to do so, and is still not selected, I will stand by you and ask for Malik's inclusion in all formats in which he has performed in first class cricket based on merit.

Thats really helpful, I'd say.

I just suggest that Malik do his ShowBiz stuff and give 10% of his earning to :zardari

That was the RBPC for one match.
You are allowed and welcome to retreat your statements...

I have babies to take care now
 
That was the RBPC for one match.
It took you 37 mintues to explain that?? :)))


What does RBPC stand for? How do you calculate it? I just want to check your work! ;-)
Which one match was it for?
Did you specify that it was for one match? This what you said above the list;
Also when he was second highest against Eng.
One more time.... 2nd in what.... ave, S/R, or something else?



You are allowed and welcome to retreat your statements...

Nice try. :)))

Thats actually one of Anwaars very clever inventions that I support

He allocates 100 marks per match that are allocated to players depending on their net contribution in the game (% of runs made and % of wickets scored)

Thats his 1 stat thing that I would've liked for him to do for every game but he stopped doing it

You can fool other people with your phony speadsheets but not me!!!!

WHERE IS ZULQARNAIN IN YOUR LIST???

Key to the mystery is in the first column of the table.
You need an I.Q. of 80 to sort it out.

P.S...

Your statement about Malik's failures is just over statement...
Bring some logically correct objections and I'll be more than happy to respond...

Anyways, back on topic, I haven't made an actual contribution to the thread.

There's no case for Malik the Test player, his FC average is 30 so I won't touch that. Some posters mention that he is a "must" for their LOI squads. Theres room for argument there. Personally, I think he's an acceptable ODI batsmen but just barely. In the current squad I would much rather a youngster like Asad Shafiq make it in.

What Malik has been doing recently in his last few ODI's is consolidating after a collapse. I recall a game in Australia particularly where our top three were blown away and Malik consolidated with Umar Akmal before being run out. However, he only managed about 30 odd where as one of Fawad or Umar went on to make a 60.

I don't think Malik can be trusted to perform that role in the team tbh. I want a batsmen who, once he's got his eyes in, can go on to make a decent score. Fawad, Asad, and Umar are all capable of this. And they're all going to be in the squad as permanent members sooner or later, if not already. Currently, they need an experienced head to help them out and thats where Younis fits in. He's not an amazing One day bat but he ca manage to keep his head cool in tough situations. I'd rather see:

3. Younis Khan
4. Asad
5. Fawad.
6. Umar Akmal

Then..

3. Younis
4. Yousaf
5. Malik
6. Umar

Gives the team good balance and gives youngsters who've scored runs a chance to be in the squad. What has Malik done to be in the squad? He has a [great] ODI Hundred against India in an ICC event, but that's not enough to warrant a place if you fail in your last 28 innings. This does not cut it, even by Pakistani standards.

Which one match was it for?

--> 37 mins--- There were too many posts and i missed it...
--> RBPC Rating based on performance and contribution...
Think about 100 coins (50 each for bowling and batting) and 22 players fighting for those coins. (This rating based on ratios so automatically compensate even if the match is high scoring or low scoring) though Fielding part is missing.
---> Hint 1:This match was against Eng
Hint 2: Line-up is in the list.

Afridi fans sharpening their knives.
 
I just can't be certain Malik is going to score substantially. He's not the worst player to be a LOI squad, however I don't see him scoring a substantially. He's a bits and pieces player, really. I'd much rather a promising young player be in the squad ahead of him.

Tbh, I might not be as critical of him if it wasn't for his politicking aways.

Learn this stats? ...

No one is worried... we are mere spectator.
In fact I do not want him back in any format under :ibutt administration, even as captain.

May be so, because with my IQ, I don't think I am able to read hidden column heading.

27 failures in 28 innings is an over statement? Very "logically correct"! :)

Bring some "logically correct" objections and I'll be more than happy to respond...

Are you kidding me or you are just a wind up???

What part of "dropping a player because of the lack of performance" you do not understand? I am sure, an IQ of 80 is certainly not needed to udnertsand that.

and you know the reason...
They dropped Malik....
...
idiot selectors .... how could they drop him when he was in such a sparkling form of his life?

- Forget the chart, just count 1 to 22.
- 27 failures, still incorrect.
- Nothing wrong was with his form, it was playing conditions. His performance against england was 2nd best among top order... there was no justification to frop the 2nd best player ahead of other 3/4 players.
 
lol, I'm a pretty cool guy actually

But if we're stooping so low as to try and call me a "loser" on the interwebs, something must be getting on your nerves ;)

I don't do this normally (you can check history and verify from others) but I had to say it as you have earned it.

Because???

- Nothing wrong was with his form, it was playing conditions.
As I said, he was in form of his life.


His performance against england was 2nd best among top order... there was no justification to frop the 2nd best player ahead of other 3/4 players.

Out of thoose 28 innings, he played only 7 innings in England.
21, 12, 26, 10, 38, 9, 3...... no matter what other batsmen did, still not acceptable by any standards.

Still, it was want to select him based on these 7 phenominal scores, then why not drop him based on 20 previous scores????????? By your logic then, he should not have been in the sqaud for England!
 
May be so, because with my IQ, I don't think I am able to read hidden column heading.

Thanks man, otherwise I thought I was the only one unable to understand some "hidden mystery" in column one.

Anwaar, whatever you've been smoking must be on sale. ehehehe jk but on a serious note .though...

What is your input on ICC clearing Malik's name for the WC squad ? Do u think that would be a problem, or Malik ko shadi raas nahi aayi?

More Facts about Malik

Still he has a big clout and a lobby of supporters within the PCB and among the commentators like, Ramiz Raja, Waqar Younus and not to mention Inti Alam and Yawar Saeed.

Abdul Qadir, when he was the chief selector spotted Malik’s negative tactics and forming groups and alliances creating divisions and factionalism in the team during the time Pakistan was playing against Australia in Dubai and asked for Malik’s removal from the team.

In fact Abdul Qadir used a very strong word he said, “I wanted to kick out Shoaib Malik from the team. But, it was Butt who paid no heed to my recommendation.” One of the major differences between Abdul Qadir and Ijaz Butt is Shoaib Malik’s presence in the team and he resigned because of this.

Shoaib Malik’s personal vindictiveness against anyone who is a threat to him, be it Shahid Afridi or, Fawad Alam is not just against those individuals – it is against Pakistan team.

His presence in the team is like a growing cancer, he is like the dead fish in a pond that pollutes the whole pond, he needs to be chucked out ASAP.


Politicking really isnt good.
 
^^ Malik's performance has not been an issue for selectors as he has been one of very few players who had been an automatic selection for all three formats for last many years.

MoYo and YoYo tried to settle the scores by not letting him play. Thats was one of the reasons for YoYo's ban beside fishing trips as board said that about captains.

If the ban remains implemented (I have my doubts), still I am satisfied.

As MoYo and YoYo and Ijaz and Bari had destroyed cricket in last two years, I would be happy at the sacrifice of one year of Malik's cricket to get rid of old junk.
Still two to go (Butt and Bari), then we will have some fresh air.
