Sarfraz and YK both with scores, where does Haris fit in for the remainder of the world cup?

Sure 37 isn't enough to warrant Younus Khan a position..

Sohaib and Junior better hope they can score some runs today.
 
Saint Younis did Pakistan great disservice out there. Ticket booked for Ireland and the QF, as well as beyond should we make it.
 
For YK. 37 runs isn't enough to warrant a place, after Harris's decent run. But YK will probably be picked for the rest of the tournament now.
 
Haris Sohail scored 70 in last ODI he played.

I know but Younis has sneaked himself back into the team. Waqar wouldn't even Harris innings he will be all praises for Younis with the way he is playing right now.

I dont care but Haris Sohail deserves a place in team. And if he does not plays next match it will be injustice of highest level.
 
Ideally it should be YK but get the feeling Misbah is probably going to drop Misbah.
 
Haris scored 27, 36 and 70. One of our top scorers and batsmen who looked comfortable unlike YK. It will be disgrace if Harris Sohail does not play next match.
 
Sure YK will be left out unless Maqsood fails and they may have other ideas but that will be very unfair on Maqsood.
 
Younus plays well.wen openers dont give wicket in first 10 overs but i will still go with Harris
 
Maqsood needs to stop looking like a tailender if he intends to keep his spot.
 
Its when the team is in crisis is when YK often fails to deliver hence HS should be back imho
 
I think either in place of akmal or maqsood.anyonevof them has a bad them has a bad day, wnd he will be thrown out.
 
Maqsood definitely plays like a tailender sometimes. Waqar just got his target.
 
30s in pakistan is good enough. Every batsman when given a chance would do just enough to stay afloat. No one would score a century or a half century, they will just do enough.

YK is here to stay, get used to of it
 
Toss up b/w Maqsood and Umar, I'd opt for the latter. Also will keep wickets if Sarfraz gets injured.
 
yeah Maqsood- he isn't much of a batsmen- more of a slogger like Shehwag, really only hits the ball hard
 
yk should go. we need maqsood down the order. who are u relying on scoring fast at the end? afridi and akmal arent enough!
 
Maqsood is a batsman. Umar akmal should be dropped if YK has to play.
Things are getting clear now. Umar can't play just as a batsman in this team. However, I would prefer umar over YK.
 
And then we wonder why our batting is like this.

Haris comes in for the team man. Simple as that.

Akmal will the second man out if it comes down to it.
 
I think they will swap out Maqsood for haris. Or will play only 4 bowlers and finish the fifth bowling option with haris maqsood and yk. But the thing is misbah's captaincy sucks when it comes to part timers. If misbah has 5 bowlers he will never use haris as the sixth bowler and keep running the regular bowlers even if it was a bad day at office for 1 one of the 5. His captaincy is like a preprogrammed FSM.
 
A Bowler.

we gotta go back to 7 batsmen. see what happened even with 30 overs 150/3.
afridi at 7 won't cut it against top sides.
if abdv and duminy can make up 10 overs, then so can haris/younis/maqsood/shehzad.
worst case they go for 70, so be it. its not like the bowler played instead is taking 3-40.
 
How about drop that brainless Ahmed Shahzad. Maybe that'll teach him a lesson or two. Open with haris

Noway in hell should we even day dream of tinkering our bowling lineup. Poor suggestion.
 
he comes in either for akmal or maqsood. Move Yk down the order so he can take advantage ofthe middle overs. Until his mistake YK was looking good and I think he's finding his touch.

maqsood looks terrible, no foot movement at all and uses hard hands, and akmal just never learns. after Misbah retires we will need to keep yk, and bring in fawad and drop akmal and maqsood.
 
YK, he 'll not play in next match.

I have seen YK in field today, looked to be aloof & a bit distant from the team. I think, he was late inclusion when Haris failed fitness; he knows that he 'll not play next match. In fact, unless a hundred, he would have struggled to make the XI, even for a customary 60 or 70. PAK needs only 1 batsman for the role he & Misbah can play & Captain is miles better.

Maqsood has lots of problems, but has lots of ability as well - PAK has to take chances with him. YK 'll never win a match, but on his day Maqsood can get an individual 60 or 70 at 150+ SR even against the best from last 15 overs. Umer must be continued - today, I was upset more on Misbah than Umar for his dismissal. PAK batsmen are dumb, Misbah should have explained him the situation just before rain break, when he was itching to slog Styen. Best thing is to steal a single & keep him out of strike.

Finding his touch??

Come on, the next game he will out for a duck again.

haris sohail is not a "droppable" player, he should be selected either in place of umar akmal or sohaib maqsood because it seems pak selectors will go on with yunus khan after his so-so performance against south africa.
 
YK doesnt deserve to be in the team for scoring 37. Harris is the men in form and he is the first choice.
 
Pakistan have won a big match, their coach and captain should have confidence to bench YK.
What will more likely happen is maqsood or junior might sit out: not many people will complain.
 
We are so close to our best playing 11, but this little knock from younis has ruined it. :facepalm:
 
It will be maqsood unfortunately. We need the 6th bowling option with fragile front line bowlers. Even to share some of afridis overs

No, no, no, no, no.

Our "batsmen" are about as useful as our tailenders with the bat, far worse with the ball. The current balance is OK, we're just going to have to blow teams away with our bowling if we want to progress in the competition.
 
Im shocked people want Maqsood to go. He has a played well enough to be picked over a player who has never won us an ODI in last decade.

Last three times Pakistan chased successfully, he scored 45 (31), 93* and 89*

If anyone, Haris is the only person who might not play if Younis is to be persisted with
 
A huge dilemma for Pakistan here.

Sohaib Maqsood looks to the be the one who might have to sit out.

Umar Akmal will not be dropped although both him and Maqsood have been so poor that their names spring up right away.

Afridi will not be dropped and technically he provided an extra 20 with his brisk innings which would have reduced SA's total to 210 had he not done so- dont forget our tail bat like true tail-enders.

Younis Khan, to my surprise, looked very good and eager to score runs. Not his biggest fan but I don't think they will drop him.
 
I think sohaib maqsood should still be given chance as on his day he is a match winner. He has not clicked for couple of games but he is one player who can plan long innings.
 
Younis needs to go despite his 37 and sohail needs to comeback in.
