You didn't read carefully .... he addresses your bhabhi.... as "baby"!
you missed the point, and that was:
- You crticised the host for something that you urself did in a post earlier.
Really is injustice to Malik who is a MUCH better ODI cricketer than Asad Shafiq.
How can you leave out someone who has scored multiple centuries this season? The PCB needs to be put on on failblog.org
Though I don't like MHK and IButt, Malik was NOT needed for thr WC.PPers, on different thread, congratulating PCB and MHK.
Though I dislike MoYo, ....
KARACHI: Former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik admits that he is passing through the most difficult time of his career but hopes good times will come again. Malik, 28, has not been selected in a 15-man Pakistan squad for the forthcoming World Cup to be played from next month in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In an exclusive interview with German Radio Deutsche Welle Urdu service here, Malik said that playing World Cup was the utmost desire of any athlete in the world. “And it becomes more disappointing when one is ignored when one is in the best form of his life. I have never been in form like this before in 11 years of my international career the way I played in the recently concluded Quaid Trophy,” he added.
Malik was the second top scorer of Quaid Trophy with 799 runs in only 6 matches. “Cricket is my passion. I thought I could have won this World Cup for Pakistan and that is why it is very difficult to make myself understand. But then its not the end of the world and cricket too. I will not leave playing cricket and try to cash in other opportunities come my way by playing domestic cricket and events outside the country.”
Malik said during this most difficult phase his wife and Indian tennis star Sania Mirza had been very supportive. “Sania being herself as a sports woman knows how to face this kind of situation. She had been through some ups and down as well. I am very lucky to have Sania as my wife who is sporting and helping me at every step to handle all this.”
Malik denied media reports that indicated that an amount of £90,000, which was transferred from India to his British account, was the main reason behind the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to sideline him from the World Cup squad. “I have not hidden any thing from the PCB integrity committee. Like in Pakistan you cant approach any body’s bank account abroad. But I gave every detail of my Pakistani and foreign assets and bank accounts to the PCB but yet I was not selected. I wont start firing at any one because its not my nature and I always try to remain away from controversies.”
Malik is considered as a ODI and Twenty20 specialist because his Test match record has never been that impressive as other two versions of the game. In 32 Tests, Malik has scored only 1606 at 33 and claimed only 21 wickets while in 192 ODIs he has made over 5188 runs and grabbed 134 wickets as well. Despite this, Malik has no intention to quit Test cricket like England’s Paul Collingwood and New Zealand’s Jacob Oram. “I know my Test performance level is not as high but I am not that sort of guy who thinks that I cant do this or that. I have worked very hard on few issues of my game and that worked really well in Quad Trophy. And I want to play all three versions of the game for the next seven to eight years.
On the Pakistan team’s prospects in the World Cup, Malik suggested that Pakistan should rely on senior players. “In an mega event like World Cup only seniors can take pressure of the situations and that’s why I think Pakistan should be relying on experienced players,” Malik concluded.
Apparently he's the don of the cricket mafia, involved in thousands of match fixing bets (despite having one of the highest win/loss ratios of Pakistani captains) and somehow was the force behind persuading Younis to embark on that famous year long fishing trip.What are the rumours about him and match fixing? I don`t understand, can someone explain.
hes qualty but badly inconcessnet need to focus on bowling so he can offer the all round package but other than that he deserves a place
^^
What a plaaaaya!!! Will only perform only when he is capatain .... and that too when 13 matches are vs World Champion Zimbabwe, Power House Bangladesha and Hong Kong.
Would you like to please note the strike rates of Afridi and Malik?
Would you like to please note the strike rates of Afridi and Malik?
Get out of here now.
last 10 odis he got avg of around 20ish...and expecting further dip in NZL.
if afridi loses captaincy, he will lose his place too...he's waste of space lately.
Anwaar - I am shocked to see you vote for non-selection of Malik in WC squad!!
I want him only in the capacity of captain...
With afridi, we are heading nowhere.
Afridi hasn't been good for our regular match winners...
Under Malik captaincy, Malik or anyone else would be virtually useless..
So last 10 ODIs.... average of 20ish is a waste of space.... what about average of 17ish in last 29 innings? What do your fancy spreadsheets say about that?
I want him only in the capacity of captain...

Under SA captaincy, Malik or anyone else would be virtually useless..
Over all drop for all playing players:
Last 4 "improved" a bit
a dip for both Hafeez and Umer:
View attachment 10551
either way, he's a human being and wears the green cap, and for that he deserves at least a modicum of civility.
He should be in the team for ODIs and T20s

I think that since Malik was made a captain at such a young age, others found it easy to disagree with him and challenge him. Age and seniority counts more than position or achievement in our culture, unfortunately. Many also felt they deserved captaincy more because of seniority. Same happened with Wasim Akram. He was also made a captain at a very young age and faced a lot of crap by his teammates throughout his captaincy. The only reason his reign was longer was perhaps because the PCB itself wasn't so involved in these player controversies as was the case in Malik's time. Akram's last few matches also were the same. He had no support from anyone in the team. No one was even talking to him.
And this same culture has come to a point now that unseating captains has become one of the easiest things to do for players. It's a disastrous development.
Dont you think someone with these numbers accross all fotmats since his last good innings needs to play domestic cricket to get his form back rather then dancing with SRK.
i have already provided a comprehensive comparison of all the Pakistani captains
WI were going south after clive ...so don't give me "the best team ever" as I have seen them actually...
Immi is not the most successful captain...either for test or odi!
sorry but can you tell me how many matches you saw where Imran was captain?
and are you comparing him and his captaincy to Malik? if you are then you should stop watching cricket and stick to an obscure canadian sport! lacrosse maybe? or perhaps curling!
As for Malik, well we've had the mammoth support thread in which it has been proven he is absolute rubbish!
now for Malik supporters I have a few questions, I dont want fudged stats or lies just straight answers:
1) why in ten years of cricket is he still to perform a innings that defines him. Now some say he is bette than younis and yusuf, but younis will be remembered for his 300 and yusuf for his record breaking year, and at the rate misbah is going he may also be remembered. But Malik? inmho he is a mere footnote!
2) since his debut how many chances has he got compared to others? and has he availed those chances?
3) can anyone remember an innings outside asia where he has excelled in difficult conditions..and im not taling a pretty 30..
4) when he was captain was he reknowned as a tactical genius? or an inspirational figure? or a match winner?
5) how many of his supporter on this forum are under he age of 22?
(ill explain my reason for asking this.)
6) finally why should we replace a young up and coming player with one who has had plenty of chances but has failed to make a mark in ten years of professional international cricket? after all arent these the same fans who clamour for new players at the drop of a hat and when these new players finally get a chance you suddenly want an older hasbeen , sorry not hasbeen but neverwas, to replace them?
another thing..malik has been asked to play as:
Openers 7 Tests
4th 3 times
5th 2
6th 18
7th 8
and thats also random...sometimes in same test he was asked to play different positions...after 2 bad tests in NZL he was dropped (there was nothing wrong if he played the third one too, anyway..) then suddenly he was picked for 3rd tests against Aus and he made good contribution... and interestingly he was dropped again against same team ...to be picked in next game so to be dropped after two games (one game he contributed ok and next game changed his position...
Long story short...If they want to play malik ..stick with him
I think, these two posts belong in this thread also!
This is a very good point.......well done Anwaar
He was in great form in 2007 and 2008 piling in the runs. He lost captaincy, and lost form soon after. Hence he was out of form. He was rightly dropped. He went back to domestic cricket. He was the star performer in the domestic tournament, by far the best player. This would usually herald a return to form. That kind of showing should usually get him back into the international side. It wasn't only a good showing in domestic cricket. It was by far the best in that tournament.Tough.
He has not scored a 50 (excluding the 100 vs India in CT 2009) since January 2009 against Sri Lanka.
He is poor on seaming wickets and has indulged in team politics,groupisms and oath-taking.Why does he still have a fan following ? Ever since we got shot of him,results and morale have dramatically improved.
Recent years his average in ODIs is
season 2008/09-34.60
season 2009-15.57
season 2009/10-31.44
season 2010-23.50
On what basis should he be recalled ? He has done nothing of note in International cricket and is where he belongs.In the domestic leagues where he can toil away.
Thank God he was not selected.He'd have demoralised the team and groupism would have started all over again.

if you browse through initial pages of this thread, you would know how many times we have replied TGK and TGK had to take the "escape" route...when we ask some question...
TGK is somewhat like on of my uncle who can swear upon that "no one can drive like Majid Khan" (Time has stopped there for him).
anwaar bhai charts ka rang hi badal do.
sorry when have I escaped? unlike some of you people I have a life outside of pp hence the paucity of replies but please enlighten us with your knowledge about the great Malik bradman!
test average of 30 odd but we have to wait till he plays a set number of tests before he reaches a certain average..my dear boy thats not how cricket is played,,if youve played cricket for over ten years and still average 20 odd in test cricket then you need to find another career!
what did he do as a senior batsman in england? and dont say he did no better than everyone else since we had a team of children and he failed to lead them, once again showing his mediocrity..
name me an instance in the last two or three years where he has set the place alight? other than one innings vs india we have seen nothing..so why the big hooha?
the problem we have is that most of you 12 yr olds havent seen real cricket players except for a handful (inzi,yk,moyo etc) youve grown up with mediocrity and actually think an average of 30 in test cricket is acceptable..its not your fault really because if your surrounded by mediocrity you will never identify excellence!!
now please answer my questions and we can move forward..
Anwaar bhai charts ka rang hi badal do.

اِس لیے کہ چارٹ کی تاریخ تو یہ بدلنے سے رھے
.
interestingly ranking isn't changing much...Hafeez at top while MoYo stays at bottom
YK and Afridi changing positions in last three...
Akmal n Bros...losing ground...but who's interested in their stats...
By the way, what's your fav. color?
You asked similar question last year on March 16th

A lot of garbage deleted......
Help us find ONE innings of significane out side Subcontinent .... other than one 100 vs ... Ashish "Malcom" Nehra, RP "Lillee" Singh and Ishant "I wanna bowl 100 mph" Sharma????
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...re;template=results;type=batting;view=innings
Wah ji Wah...
Tests, ODIs and T20Is all together...!!!
do you see your blunder?
Oh..... you want them separated.... Mr. "100% sure'"??? He is going to look WORSE!!! .... but you asked for it!
Do you seeeeeeee your blunder?
Don't forget to see Bradman's numbers against a tailender!
Test matches:

First Question: Sample of 8 test matches is good enough?
My take: if you divide 8 matches in 4 countries then its 2 matches per country. I don't think it's enough sample set.
Play him more matches and you will see improvement.
He has played 86 matches outside subcontinent. How many more you want?
Second Question: Why India and WI marked in RED?
Third Question: How many complete series he played outside SC?
Last Question: Where's T20 stats?
Help us find ONE innings of significane out side Subcontinent .... other than one 100 vs ... Ashish "Malcom" Nehra, RP "Lillee" Singh and Ishant "I wanna bowl 100 mph" Sharma????
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...re;template=results;type=batting;view=innings
You really have short memory or you pretend to have one?
The ORGINAL question was.....
I gave you all of his innings outside flat-track countries.... and then instead of answer the question....your back to your usual A.... B... S... (aain baain shaain).
So.. one more time.....
Help us find ONE innings of significane out side Subcontinent .... other than one 100 vs ... Ashish "Malcom" Nehra, RP "Lillee" Singh and Ishant "I wanna bowl 100 mph" Sharma????
P.S. Your sample of 10 innings (posted a million times) is big enough ... but my sample of 8 is not enough.....
If so, you want me to post his last 28 innings? But then that would be too big for you to handle!
sorry but 68 in 2004? is that the best you can find? i believe I rest my case..over ten years of cricket and his best innings is a 128 against a poor bowling attack and 68 against 2gangulys" india when moyo was yoyo!! ?? also your links dont work mostly and from them you still havent answered my straightforward questions!
was he a better captain than Imran?
is he a better batsman than moyo,yk,inzi,misbah,razaaq,afridi?
why hasnt he cemented his place in the side after ten years?
why should he captain teh current side that is winning and jelling together?
what are his most recent bowling stats?
what right does he have to push out youngsters like shafiq,shehzad and akmal jnr?
why did he refuse to play where he was asked by the coach and management?
why did inti and co call him a termite?
do you agree we dont need him in the current team? if no then do you support Malik or pakistan?
how old are you?
There are so many...as you yourself ack his 128 in recent CT.
another one some 6 years back.
In tests
http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/210368.html
And FYI, all SC pitches aren't flat and similarly all non-SC pitches are anti-flat/supporting
)
So..... out of NINETY-ONE (91) innings, you came up with three:
1) 128 vs Nehra, RP Singh and Sharma.
2) 68 vs Balaji, Irfan Pathan and Agarkar
3) 64 vs Powell, Best, King, Collymore. (where YK and Inzi 100s)
If Malik's innings of 64 in significant then what are YK's & Inzi's 100s?
Can you do the math Awaaaaaaaaan Saaaaaaheeeeb????????
You came up with THREE innings (1 100 and 2 50s) in 91 innings?? That is 3.29%
...and yet you could come up with only THREE innings of significance out 91 innings.... even in a test where Inzi/YK hit 100s..... you list his 64?
...and yet you support this Bradman???
Now you know why I even refuse to look at your stupid standard deviations, means and modes charts... because I don't need to those stupid charts to prove Malik is pathetic ...or to prove Yk/Inz are 100 times better than you tailender..... since in the same test match YK/Inzi hits 100s!
Bring Malik back please.He is going to average 65 over next 35 tests with 16 hundreds.
If you are not = Uturn , you requested first one innings, then you changed the request and demanded 2...and still not satisfied...I just picked old ones to show he was winning matches for us when he was vvv young and included as bowler...
As I have fulfilled your demands, now go though the recent posts and reply to my questions, if you don't mind.
...and that's exaclty what what my point was.... you think he is next to Bradman ..... based on 1 100 and 2 fifties againt India and West Indes???????????
Now....compare those Bradman like 100 and two fifies in 86 matches to ...the number of test and ODI 100 by these batsmen sine 1999 (Bradman's debut year)! See how patheeeeeeeeeeeeeetic he looks????
First chart is test 100s and the 2nd one is ODIs... I highlighted the batsmen.... other than Inzi/YK/MoYo!! Just see how "absent" your Bradman is from both lists. Next time you criticize MoYo, look at these two lists... your conscious may question your reasoning... !
