Sohail Tanvir as captain in ODI/T20I?

[1137moiz]

Acha. But there's a difference between swagger and "smart cricket"

Personally Tanveer strikes me as a fairly handy but not really intelligent cricketer. I hope he proves me wrong InshaAllah but imho this has held Tanveer back after in 2008 he was looking like a spearhead who could hit it big. Injuries haven't helped but also Tanveer is WAY too inconsistent with line and lengths--nothing wrong in that pace if he takes wickets and bats well (and he can swing it both ways) but too often he tries to do too much imho and loses the plot

 

[sunnykhan]

Always said He needs bowling condition to perform. The guy hardly has the permanent place in the final XI. He is still not fit enough and poor fielder as well.

 

[SAF]

I still dont like him as a bowler. Dont know , i just cant trust him for some reason. We have better bowlers than him.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Though kukri is not bad but rana naved ul hasan is miles ahead of him.

He will bounce back haters

One bad performance and some posters bumping old threads

why did n't you bump it when he got 4 Wickats :jaysuryia

 

[*sallu*]

One of the worse threads on PP rightly blown to bits

 

[Afridiologist]

Tanvir should retire gracefuly

 

[intothevoid]

Incredibly ridiculous thread!

Only guy who I see as captain post Misbah is Hafeez

 

[AZ]

 

[sully3]

No please this guy should be no where near the team let alone be captain

 

[ali85]

If anybody deserves this, it should be Umar Akmal (after 1-2 years).

 

[RehanG]

and I thought AZ has some cricketing sense

exactly

 

[VolcanicAsh]

WOuld love to have this guy as captain, due to his marvelous T20 performance as captain, today he is playing against Sri Lanka good luck

Are you for real? Man your views are messed up.

 

[Khan6575]

This thread is not only worthy but also quite laughable.

 

[emclub]

legendary thread, kukri

 

[Inziquicksingle]

One of the worse threads on PP rightly blown to bits

I would say the Amla is over rated thread was slightly worse What a horrible idea to have someone who is probably not good enough to play domestic cricket CAPTAIN the country

 

[Sledger]

PLEASE don't select him in the squads.

 

[90MPH]

Lets make him next Test Captain instead.

If you leave it to delusional posters like Shahrukh619 this trundler would also be the prime minister of Pakistan.

Should be in the teaM!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Justcrazy]

This fellow should not be playing at any level let alone be in International Team. Pakistan has far better players for 20 20 than him.

 

[sully3]

i really would choose Fawad Alam or ever Farhat as captain over Tanvir.

he brings nothing to the team literally nothing

 

[ninjafirstslip]

Never. He is utterly useless. NO. NO. NO.

 

[Saqs]

Lol. To be honest, he has never even been on the 'captaincy' radar when you look at a team lineup.

 

[shahrukh619]

Everyone just blindly hates Sohail Tanvir, and cause of the blind hate people don't look at how he lead his domestic team.

The reason why this thread was created was due to the way Sohail Tanvir lead Rawalpindi Rams into winning the t20 tornament and also being runner ups of the next competation.

RawalPindi was considered a medicore team, and no one was expecting it reach the finals. But forget the finals, no one was expecting that team to beat Lahore and Karachi. But they ended up beating them due to good leadershi skills on the captain, who lead from front.

Selectors should start noticing these captaincy skills of players

 

[ninjafirstslip]

^ your assuming we don't take that into account. Rams had a great coach mentor in tauseef ahmed as well. Man all you need to do is look at him bowl leg side filth atleast once an over with that disgraceful run up action. Why have him when we have better bowlers and better all rounders?

He never even cracked his place in the team.

handling domestic and international team isss very diffrent
first sohail should improve his performance and wen he turns 30 then we can think

 

[Muhammad Saad]

lol 3 pages of utter nonsense and people still falling for it. Get a life dudes.

exactly .. ab az ke sohail tanvir ke saath kia relation hai Allah hi jaane..

 

[AZ]

mark my words, he WILL be our Quaid in the near future.

now is your chance to hop aboard the bandwagon!

and don't say later onwards that you were not given the chance...

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Kurki isnt fit to captain a side in tape ball cricket. Let alone the world beating Pakistan squad.

 

[VTEC]

This guys shouldnt even be in the ODI/T20 Squad much less captain them

I disagree as a supporter of Rawalpindi. They have always had good talent and importantly a well balanced team, especially lots of fast bowlers, good allrounders and explosive top order batsmen. I thought along with Karachi and maybe Sialkot that Pindi were contenders for the title. If anything Tanvir's strange captaincy hurt them, like repeatedly promoting himself over the far more complete batsman Hammad Azam

Stop embarrassing yourself

the only embarrassment here is the one who is crying i.e. YOU

LOL whatever.

[reversesweep]

And i thought this was some sarcastic thread.

You would think so but there are always a few idiots, thankfully I think Kukri has a grand total of 3 fans so the world is not going mad yet.

 

[bforme]

no way, he shouldnt even be in the squad for England series.

 

[shahrukh619]

Ameen!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

No thank you!

 

[shahrukh619]

Sohail Tanvir should be Vice-Captain right now with Misbah. So that he could learn a thing or to....... Future captain

I don't doubt his captaincy skills.

But seriously, he's a garbage player, not even good enough to get in the current XI. Wahab Riaz, Cheema or Junaid would gladly take his place in the lineup. You want this bits and pieces player (average 32 with the ball with ER of 5+ and batting average of 16 with SR 94) to be our captain )

 

[AZ]

well OBVIOUSLY he will have to perform at an acceptable level first.

 

[Patriot]

Tanvir may be a domestic bully, but he isn't an international player. Averages 32 in ODI's, which is quite pathetic.

 

[shahrukh619]

^ 4 wickets against Sri Lanka................

 

[Ryw]

This thread has potential

meanwhile i am typing this Sohail Tanvir took 6 wickets today including top four batsmen and scored 52 runs with bat

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

i dont even see him back in the team .... that makes him perfect to be a captain lol .... usually we drop players then bring them back as captains

 

[shahrukh619]

inshallah he will be in the Odi team for Pak vs Eng

 

[Proud To Be A Pakistani]

inshallah he will be in the Odi team for Pak vs Eng

u can't be serious about that :S

^ 4 wickets against Sri Lanka................

Fun cricket against Sri Lanka

 

[Osman]

inshallah he will be in the Odi team for Pak vs Eng

on what basis? this pile of garbage couldn't even trouble bangladesh ffs!

hope he never comes anywhere near the team ever again. He should do the sensible thing and retire!

 

[Osman]

^ 4 wickets against Sri Lanka................

u keep going on about that 1 fluke performance in a dead rubber. either side of that garbage bowling garbage effort in the field garbage everything. please stop seriously how old are you?!

 

[shahrukh619]

so if Tanvir doesn't perform good then he sucks, but when he performs good then he is still critisized? for what? Tanvir performed better then the other bowlers in that game where he took 4 wickets.

u keep going on about that 1 fluke performance in a dead rubber. either side of that garbage bowling garbage effort in the field garbage everything. please stop seriously how old are you?!

Your post is full of garbage! No, Really!

 

[Ryw]

Well he always post garbage so nothing new ^^^

 

[Osman]

lulz sohail tanvir loverboys in full force...will go any extent to defend their lover boy...u think 1 decent performance means he should be in the team?! u keep harping about the same 1 game over and over again...

 

[Ryw]

^^ 6 wickets today and 52 runs with bat , keep crying dude

he is kukri and he knows it :AZ

 

[Badsha]

This thread is like a very lame joke going on between a teacher and his favourite student.

 

[ninjafirstslip]

His run up is like a drug addict on meth and e getting the low in one step and getting the high in the other. That's the reason you don't know what filth he will bowl next when he does that run up. He then does what is tantamount to pulling the finger at Wasims action with that release.

And his batting......well

Funny how the haters are more obsessed with this thread than the 'fanboys'...methinks they need to get a life.

 

[Badsha]

AZ bhai, I hope to God you're joking? Surely? :S

 

[Monsee]

Sohail Tanvir is the Faisal Iqbal of All Rounders...i.e. excellent in FC and yet crap of the nth degree at Int'l level!

His first fluke year is what has fanboys still wetting their diapers...if he ever becomes our captain (at any level), it will be the end of our cricket as we all know it.

Yes, players improve but what is he gonna improve on, his wrong footed 120 KMH buffet bowling or his 'me play leggie shots to even the outside off stump bowling too' batting?

 

[Ryw]

 

[Nice-N-Fresh]

I will stop watching cricket the day he gets captain (Nauzubillah). I will bang my head into the wall the day he ever gets near a cricket ground.

 

[shahidafridi123]

His best match:

Any responses to this post Shahrukh, AZ or ManHOOS?

I do think Tanveer has, or had before injury, some ability (he was very good in 2007/08) but he strikes me as a one-dimensional, unthinking cricketer. Blindly slogs and can swing the ball but is wayward. A bit more control needed and he could still be a decent allrounder InshaAllah since he's what 27-28. But captaincy, no way on current evidence
