he take the responsibility to open the innings beacus absence of nazir and 2nd hawks are not bad team even from lahore lines last time they qualify for super 8 t20 and lahore not qualify remind you that hawks is a good team

How about both???

http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan-domestic-2011/engine/match/533342.html

Bowling: Best E/R (4.00) among the players from both team.
Batting: 3rd best S/R (171.42) among the players from both team.
Batting: Best S/R (S/R (171.42) among the players from both team.. (Qual: > 20 runs).

More importantly...... won a match from the jaws of the defeat for his team!

Malik used to be a decent bat in subcontinent conditions in limited overs games... recently his form has gone right out the window though. back when he used to play i was a fan and the team management screwed him over by giving 1 down position to YK; one of the only things i disagreed Imran khan with.

right now.. he'd have to earn his place back. ATM we probably have better options. he's sort of a misbah like player except misbah is a little better than him (at t20)

opened when Nazir was ill. when Nazir was playing, did not need to open.

Needless bashing of him really, he batted pretty well and closed the game, and his captaincy was pretty good that match too.

I like the fact he doesn't bowl, his bowling should be used mainly as a back up in case things go wrong.

He might not be good in international T20 so much, but in domestic he's very good, and has been the Stallions best batsman over the past few years, and a fairly astute captain. His domestic record shows that.

That is why you kept quite the whole Zimbabwe series ..since all the bashing Malik received was not needless?

So...what's worng with keeping him at domestic level? Why bother him with any international matches? He'll keep performing in domestic matches and his fans will be very happy!

Didn't keep quiet the whole Zimbabwe series. Said I was surprised he didn't score, and he's had his chance now on the Zimbabwe tour, so perhaps it's better to give other guys a chance now, and make Malik go back to domestic.

why don't you plan the strategy and tactics for SS ...so that SM follow it to make you happy...

as a starter:

what # he should bat? and what is the appropriate sr for him?
when should he bowl...at start ..or at death or in middle? and appropriate er?
where should he field?

Glad you told me.... otherwise I was going to start a "complain campaign" about;

+ Malik not being recognized as the greatest cricketer ever produced.
+ Malik not appointed captain of Pakistan's Test, T20 and ODI team.
+ etc etc etc....
 
I dont understand. How can anyone support him? With so much batting and bowling talents around in the domestic circuit, why would you want to have this nuisance? :akhtar He has been playing test cricket since 2001 and he averages just 33, and his first class average is crap too. He is a useless spin bowler turned into part time batsman, thus the phrase:jack of all trades, master of none.
 
Its not their fault that they are doing gaali galoch on the field?

And its hardly new, bad attitude has been around since Asif days.

Shoaib Malik , Sania Mirza meet Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari

Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik and his wife, Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, called on President Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday and discussed their efforts to raise funds for the relief and rehabilitation of flood victims in the country.

Expressing grief at the devastation caused by floods in southern Pakistan, the couple said they would launch a fund-raising campaign within and outside the country to help the victims, an official statement said.

Malik and Mirza said they would play exhibition matches in Pakistan and outside the country to generate funds for flood victims.

Zardari thanked them and expressed appreciation for their support for the flood victims.

Zardari appreciated Malik's cricketing skills and said sportspersons were ambassadors for their country.

Sportspersons earn a name for their country through their excellence in sports and contribute to the real potential and image of their country, he said.

Zardari also congratulated the couple on their marriage. Mirza, who recently suffered a knee injury, is on holiday while Malik is playing in Pakistan's National Twenty20 Championship.

The cricketer has said he hopes his marriage with Mirza will help in improving relations between Pakistan and India.

Malik further said he hoped that bilateral cricket ties with India would resume soon. Over the past few days, the couple visited Malik's hometown of Sialkot and travelled to Lahore on a private visit.

Mirza will be in Karachi for the Twenty20 Championship, in which Malik is captaining the Sialkot Stallions.

"I am here to play cricket and my wife is with me on a holiday, but obviously her presence is good for me and I hope to do well in the national tournament," Malik said. http://www.cricblitz.net/2011/09/sh...an.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

What an innings, one of the best innings in the whole tournament.

He took quick singles and accelerated at the end and the time to do so, calculated the chase to perfection and ended up with 88* at a strike rate of 188. 88 off 49 is superb.

Kick in the teeth for some people.

Great ODI/T20 batsmen.

Great domestic limited overs batsman. Proved it time and time again. Dunno why people debate that.

International standard, dunno. Probably just an ok one. Hasn't exactly lived up to what he's capable of. For example dunno how he can perform here, but failed so badly against Zimbabwe. He was probably playing under more pressure against better bowlers here too.
 
Chalo he played very well today but perspective is required ... Shahzaib Hasan (yes the useless hack) has been in the top 3 runscorers for this comp for the past 3 years.
 
Shoaib Malik has become the first Pakistan player to score 2000 Runs in Twenty20 Cricket
 
Great inning by malik.

But like I said yesterday in afridi thread this was against bunch of nobodies from Lahore Eagles.

FLAT TRACK BULLY.

Nothing more to say. Will be useful in sub continent in shorter format.

But do you just pick a player based on conditions for the short term or do you look to the long term and try to groom a player who could potentially play in more trying conditions.

35+ in odis are not failure either./...so bundling all together and sorting..WL is just fooling Malik's haters.
 
Credit where it's due, it was a top knock and under pressure. We'll see how he goes in the final.

Agreed, played a superb innings albeit against an unproven attack, but it was under pressure and he single handedly won it for his side.

35+ is fine if the Batsman has a good enough Batting Average

In the last 25 ODI Matches Malik averages just 24 with S/R of 72

Do u know why he averages so low? because he made a lot of 10s and 20s in ODIs
 
OK.... I did not want to "ruin" the interview thread because I know, the reposes are going to get ugly therefore ... here is my response to Malik's interview;

The fact is, if Hafeez and I play together as all-rounders we can even play with one less regular bowler and provide that option to the selectors. I have worked hard on this and am hoping that both my batting and bowling will be good.

As you know, there aren’t too many players in international cricket that I haven’t dismissed. I have almost 150 wickets in the limited over formats. So I am hoping that when I bat, I bat like a regular batsman and when I bowl, I bowl like a regular bowler.

English translation though accurate missed the soul of interview.
and your responses are illogical... (more like taunts)

Regarding the Test stats, after SL series, he failed in NZL...was good in Aus...and 2nd best (2nd least worst) after Farhat against England when compared with other Pakistanis in same matches...

ODI, bad tour of Zim, but he is not known for minnow bashers...so he wasn't needed really..
