Malik is a match-winner. Good fielder, can bowl a few overs and has the X-factor.

Unfortunately in Pakistan one is not picked on merit but the politicians they know..... What a shame that we have some talented youngsters waiting in the wings but we get SM which in other words is BS.
What's this X factor that he possesses, and we dont have a clue about?
So what does this simple rule say now????????
2, 14, 7 , 11
That is not my phone number, by the way.
Play him in tests.
and in ODIs/T20I against non-minnows
pants of fire..... pants on fire....
sharam kero haya kero.
Malik ke Jaga Hammad ko play kero
Play him in tests.

Sep 1st?
Malik stayed out for a 13 months ... from 6 Aug 2010 to 8 Sep 2011..... a little over one year.but he has lost it after staying out for so long!!
MAlik was once a very good ODI player but he has lost it after staying out for so long!!
I did not follow this series and can't comment on his performance but BZ saying play him in tests makes me laugh. Test cricket and Malik? No thanks.

Look at these charts first one is Malik's current ODI ranking. Then look at his highest rank .. 687 points on 13/2/2006....
2nd chart is the ranking for that date..... so at best (at his peak), he was only 19th best batsman .... 5 years ago. For how long we can keep selecting him just becuase he was semi-decent in 2006?
I agree lock this or close this thread because its a ''support'' thread only by name, dont see any support here for Malik
It's time to lock this thread.
Wow, thats an unbelievable drop, can he ever come back in the Top 20?
can you show the all rounder rankings? I think he was no 2 or 3 all rounder once, whats his ranking there now?
cant judge him purely as a batter

WL isn't aware that if you don't play matches (and your country keep playing) then you lose points automatically!
So there is no sense arguing about his test points..until he plays continuously couple of years.
I'd like to tender my resignation to the Shoaib Malik Supporters Club.
He's rubbish!
on a second thought, its time to lock him up and throw over the bridge. Played a horrendous shot today, its just criminal

fair-weather supporter tsk tsk
Something very uncharacteristic of Malik...
Team needed him to consolidate...had couple of boundaries against rice...there was no need (though ball seemed lose and was asking to be hit bounced and resulted in cb)...
Even playing for SS, I'd not expect malik to play like this...
In 2 odi's he was unlucky and got caught on blinders...
in 1st t20, only 7 balls left, so you had to hit...no blame there...
but today, it was weird that he started hitting boundaries..when team needed him to stay.
how does Malik's last 10 innings Batting Average look like now?
Let's not assume things like MM .... I was fully aware of that. Which is why I also posted his HIGHEST ranking for both tests and ODIs. Any comment on those, Sir/Janab-e-Aali?
I have my doubts...
if you were aware, then why you mentioned his test rating?
even for odis, he is not regular after he lost captaincy...(so no point mentioning that also)
and at that point, jan 25th, 2009...he was 2nd highest ranked player after MoYo.

fair-weather supporter tsk tsk
If my memory serves me right.... weren't you a huge Salman Butt fan?
So ... you supported two players and look what happened to them! Can you please not pick any performing player from current squad...for your support?
By all means.... please go ahead and fully support Imran Farhat.... Javid Miandad, Imran Khan, Inza, Wasim and Waqar!
LOL no way, BZ bhai is witness to my support for Malik even in the tough times.
Zehreela pyaar.
Yes,
but
there was no need for the resignation!
abhi tou achaay din aayay hein...

Didn't look in bad nick as the last few games he played internationally before his comeback leading to him getting dropped. Threw away his wicket in most if not all the games.
Had his chance and failed. Might find himself out of the team again, and rightly so. Has to start over, and start piling runs in domestic for a comeback again.
I worry about hammad azam. Tera pyaar us ko be kahin ka nahi chore ga. lol
allah buri nazar say bachaye
Achey din aa ker chaley bhi gaye bhaijaan. Malik is on his way out of the team you know :azeem
Yes,
but
there was no need for the resignation!
abhi tou achaay din aayay hein...
If 2, 14, 7 & 11 are Achaay Din then I shudder to think of buray din!
Sir BZ, I am still waiting for the definition of "buray din"?
Achay din...>
1) Afridi is out
2) moYo is out
3) Malik is back
4) Waqar is out
5) IB is on verge
.....

LOL - BZ bhai aap jitni himmat mujhe mey naheen hain.
very tough to convince myself on why Malik should play ahead of someone like Shafiq or Junior.
So Malik fans are a reflection of the player himself! By this I mean stats and performances are secondary compared to ousting team and official members!!
So what are you saying?^ AZ
We have to remember that Shoaib Malik barely performs against Minnow teams. There is the reason why he is never termed as Minnow basher in compared in Younis Khan (in ODI).
Astaghfirullah! MalikMohsin May Allah forgive your and my sins.Whenever Malik performs, he only performs against top quality teams, and India happens to be one of them.
MalikMohsin (May Allah forgive sins) are you calling India a top quality team when Malik scored runs vs India?Whenever Malik performs, he only performs against top quality teams, and India happens to be one of them.
Who knows he might stay at the same form he has been for last 32 innings. So what is your point?Who knows he might find his form back on the upcoming series like Sri Lanka and England (ODI/T20 ONLY).
Can you back up your claim with stats? Otherwise in eye of Allah it can be taken as a lie. May Allah give people courage to speak the truth and only truth. Aaaaameeen.Remember, Malik was once used to be second most consistent ODI batsman after Inzimam during Inzimam's captaincy. That's no coincident.
A lot of people have been patient with him for last 32 innings. How many chances you want given to your hero?Malik is coming back after a very long time. Perhaps, we should be patient.
because as we are aware of players like Misbah and Younis don't give exactly hope to lead batting line in ODI/T20, but in Test, it's different matter because they are world class batsmen in Test only.
Here is the problem brother.... Pakistan has played 46 ODI since Oct 1, 2009 (roughly two years) .... but only two ODI were played against India. You want Malik to play so that he could play only 2 matches in 46 ODIs... and if you include upcoming 10 ODIs vs Eng/SL ... that would 56 ODIs... with only two vs India.Malik would put up better fight in comparable to Misbah and Younis combined when it comes to India. LOL
32 innins and counting.... how long .... how long more?Anyhow, the retirement of Younis Khan and Misbah are always on the card, and nor the possibility of return of Shahid Khan Afridi to Pakistan Cricket as long as Ijaz Butt. It's better if we be patient with Shoaib Malik for a while.
Evrybody who has "won" matches ... is a proven match winner. BY the same logic he is a proven "match loser" also.After all, he is proven match winner in ODI/T20.
Sri Lanka....??? 5 fifties in 33 matches @ ave of 31.9?His averages against South Africa, Sri Lanka, India and several other teams barring England are no fluke,
Can you back up your claim with stats? Otherwise in eye of Allah it can be taken as a lie. May Allah give people courage to speak the truth and only truth. Aaaaameeen.and he is still the best batsman when it comes to encounter spinners.
Here is another problem.... every team plays 2-3 pace bowlers also in every match. What is your suggestion for pace bowlers, then?As what we are aware of our young players are always found out in Test because of spinners nowadays. This is very serious matter especially in Test format.
- I still can't believe how our batting line consists of Asad Shafique, Younis Khan, Misbah, Afridi, Hafeez, Umar and Kamran Akmal, Razzaq have failed and choked miserably against one of the most weakest bowling attack in the history of Cricket. I will never forget that. It seems like we needed Malik
Whenever Malik performs, he only performs against top quality teams, and India happens to be one of them.

I apologize if I offended you but ....this is exactly how I find MM's posts ...nothing but offensive.W63L35 i agree with your points but why are you brining islam into this as a joke, its unneeded and just plain offensive
WL can you do us a favour if you have time to kill. BZ claimed about 18 months ago that Malik and YK have similar career paths in test cricket in their first 30 odd games. Can you please break their test careers down in 5 tests showing their respective stats in say 5/10/15/20 tests so we can see how similar their career paths have been.
I am in Pakistan and can't do it myself on my mobile.
Thanks.
W63 bhai bhul jao what ever you do, Malik will still play

Please play him in tests coz according to BZ he is on the verge of going on a mad run spree. Average of 60 over next 30 odd game is only a matter of time.
Pwnd Really REALLY hard

Comparison after EACH test match.... you still want stats broken by 5 tests?
Malik of the left..... YK on the right;
I'll post detailed country wise comparison later;
.SS...I didn't expect...that you would doubt that...everyone knows that YK was a parchi..

Country and continent wise break up;
SS...there a long standing issue that you have been avoiding.
Repeat!
You asked him to play domestic (while i am opposed to the idea of him wasting time in QEA trophy) and score one hundred to prove...
He scored 1 dbl, 3/4 100s and 1/2 50s in 6 matches.
in your own words, he has proved what you demanded..four times...
the deal is still on that after 58 test matches he wud avg around 44/45...but as far as you are concerned...he already proved,
India is a top quality team ... proof (they won the wc by beating a us,pak,sl)
India bowling is their weakest link and if someone suggests that their bowling is weaker as compared to a us,sa,a us,sl,wi then why you are so shocked?

It's make me sad that people doubt me...
http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showpost.php?p=2702657&postcount=470
if we see your table and try to find some common ground then it's clearly SL...where both played similar # of tests (8/9) and thats also an adequate sample set...
and we know who is the clear winner!
we will discuss other countries when we have some comparable data.
My verdict??? You mean... you still don't know??please provide your verdict to SS as he seems to trust you
