Says the biggest supporter of Salman Butt on the forum. ;-)
 
^and for some reasons he favours the worst of the worst fielders. First Butt, then Tanvir :23:
 
:))) another captain'esque performance

btw o.p now wants azhar ali to be the limited overs captain :)))
 
:))) Joke of a player should stick to T20's , even Wahab would have bowled better
 
Well you cant perform every game. And it doesnt help when the fielders keep letting you down.

But take nothing away from AB. I think rather than blaming the bowlers, full credit should be given to him for some extraordinary batting.

As for Tanvir, well lets see how he does in the T20s

Well deserved, Tanvir!
 
Well here are the series avg for our bowlers..

On top is ajmal 11 wickets at 17 avg. 5 matches

then is Irfan 9 wickets at 26 avg. 5 matches

Then is afridi 8 wickets at 22 avg. 5 matches

Then is junaid 4 wickets at 24 avg. 2 matches

then is hafeez 4 wickets at 34 avg. 5 matches

then is sohail tanvir 4 wickets at 47 avg. 5 matches

Wahab didnt get a single wicket.

Should finally put it to end. Didnt get a single wicket in his last two matches.
 
49.6
Sohail Tanvir to de Villiers, FOUR, is he captain fantastic or what? full and on off as AB backs away slightly to drive this like a bullet through the inner ring to finish the innings with a four
49.5
Sohail Tanvir to de Villiers, FOUR, makes himself a bit of room as he lofts this full ball crisply over extra-cover for a boundary
49.4
Sohail Tanvir to de Villiers, SIX, how can I describe this to you, length ball outside off and angling in as AB waits on the back foot to just swat this over midwicket for a huge six. This one realtl climbed!
49.3
Sohail Tanvir to de Villiers, FOUR, full and just outside as AB gets on one knee to slam this over midwicket. The Pakistani fielders on the leg side are unable to track it, but somehow it reaches the boundary. Hundred up for the South Africa captain, and a real captain's knock considering the conditions.
49.2
Sohail Tanvir to Parnell, 3 runs, McLaren goes for a swat to this length ball outside off, which spoons up to point who fails to get a hand on it. AB wanted three as he dives just in time to make his crease after Irfan, at sweeper cover, throws it in
49.1
Sohail Tanvir to Parnell, FOUR, slower ball on and around off as Parnell just pushes this in the gap between mid-on and sweeper cover to find the boundary. Surreal shot that one
 
Hardly ever do this but I actually didn't want Tanvir to get a single wicket and I wanted him to get whacked. Perfect day so far.
 
Sohail Tanvir As Captain in ODI/T20?

This guy should be performing in a circus, not as an international cricketer because let's face it, he is just mediocre. Never has been international class.

Another joker prancing around the cricket fielding as a so called international player, pretty much somes up the state of our ODI team currently!
 
If not afridi then it must be sohail Tanveer to lead Pakistan in loi. It should be fixed now after today's brilliant performance.
 
Sohail Tanvir As Captain in ODI/T20?

A few days ago everyone was calling for him to be tarred and feathered, now he should be the next captain :))

He is not a bad choice actually. He's led Rawalpindi rams well.

I am sure captaincy has a bit more to do with leadership abilities and leading from the front than just one individual bowling performance.

ajmal and irfan bowled much better than him all through out the series, so why make tanvir captain?

Tanvir is a horrible fielder, and is selected over junaid because he can bat a bit, but never delivers runs when it matters.

Making him captain is a horrible idea.
 
TANVIR FOR PRIME MINISTER! Oh wait, anyone remember this:

If you gave Younus Khan these many chances to bowl, even he would produce a good over once in a while.
 
This thread shows how people think performance and captaincy is the same thing.....
 
When Kukri is at his best, he is certainly a good player. However, he is very inconsistant. Hopefully he will become a consistant player, and a matchwinner for us.
 
Bowling beautifully today.

Pathetic thread, proves how many players cousins, brother, and friends are on PP and how they always create threads like these.

Hes probably the best t20 bowler, he must only play t20s. Certainly a t20 ATG

Learn to watch cricket with your eyes, not everything is about stats. The commies were going on about how he is an integral part of our T20 side. Akmal also commended his performance. And dont go on about how they were minnows, did you see how the 'minnows' smashed Afridi and Babar out of the park?
 
He is our best t20 bowler without any doubt. Can be a very good captain too if given the role.

Lock the thread mods, people can't differentiate between captaincy and performance.

I have a memory greater than one game, also tanvir will always stuff up batsman who haven't faced a bowler with his action before. Problem is outside of minnows none are left. In the long run this performance has hurt the team

Also it's time Pakistan paid attention to stats instead of experience, talent , stylish, good English or X factor

Look, in my opinion, he is our best T20 bowler after Gul. He is not bland like Anwar. He can swing it, he can bowl the slower bowl, the yorker, etc. My point is that there is nothing wrong with having him in the T20 side (or even the ODI side), infant he is a great asset when you need to conserve runs at the death, and take advantage of the swing in the pitch. This is not hurting the team, a one-off performance by Anwar Ali is hurting the team. It would be best if you praise his performance today and not be a blind hater :)

I really don't mind what the Pcb pay attention to, as long as it's working. And in the T20 format, it certainly is. So it would be best not to disturb the team combination.

Agreed. He has all the tools

Except you know, the tool of talent. But toolkit Tanvir needs no talent :))

By the way, when did he swing it? He bowled short and wide and the Afghanis played as if they were facing a giant. Any other team and he'd have been thrashed. As per usual
 
He bowled his 3rd over as he has bowled full day in Srilanka in a july test match. Also, he is not called kukri for no reason, as he runs like kukri to stop the bowl in the field. Pathetic player.
 
I maintain this so the most LOL worthy thread on PP and that is some achievement.

Firstly, the first sentence makes absolutely no sense.

Yes, he bowled pathetically, and yet the minnows of Afganistan thrashed Babar, Afridi, Junaid and Bhatti.

Let me remind you that he bowled brilliantly at the death in the last T20 against SA.

But I know nothing is going to change your opinion, so it would be best to agree to disagree.

So you agree he bowled poorly?

Glad to know. Now if he bowled poorly, what's so big about not being thrashed? Just pure luck

P.S:- First sentence is a dig at a certain Mamoon_

I was being sarcastic :p he was easily our best pacer, and he saved us 10-15 runs at the death. Thats not luck, its called having experience and skill.
 
maybe its because of his massive tool kit that tanvir continues to construct big averages? He is livable in t20s at best , that is all
 
^ lets just say that you hate him and that is a fair enough opinion to have.

He was excellent yesterday and has been overall good in T20s since making his comeback in WI.

Chopping him out of the T20 team is uncalled for however he can't play in ODIs especially if Irfan is fit but in anycase, I would have him ahead of the likes of Wahab Riaz and Anwar Ali.
 
I don't hate him yet, only player I hate is Farhat, but I am close to hating tool kit

He can't be defended through any logical argument. The fact that even in t20s he fails to get a Wicket a game says it all plus we have all seen his insecurity as the captain of the rams. His recent average t20 performances will most likely screw us over in the near future as they have for the past 4 years, not to mention he will continue to leech the odi team

He has been pretty good in T20's since 2012. The most shocking thing for me was his economy rate! He also has a very respectable average of 23. With Razzaq and Arafat out of the picture, I would have Gul and Tanvir as our seamers in T20's. He is leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the pacers. Bhatti as the third seamer.
 
^ Agreed, very good T20 bowler since he possesses all the variations (tool kit) to succeed in this format.

Keep him away from ODIs if you wish. Its simply really, play him over Junaid in T20s and Junaid over him in ODIs.
 
A rare bad day for tanvir but still got two big wickets.

Tanvir can be handy. He gets a wicket or two every T20 while going for 7 an over which is respectable. But there is just something about him that gets under my skin. Given our fast bowling legacy, he doesn't measure up. The basis for my dislike of Tanvir is:
1. He bowls too slow (under 140)
2. His action is awful
3. His batting ability is overrated
4. He gets the nod ahead of Junaid Khan in T20s

Anyone else feel that they dislike him despite him performing well sometimes?
 
^ how about the fact is record is awful in forms in the game, he is one of the worst Fielders in the game and he has shown selfish nature while captaining the rams.

I don't care how a player looks or how he plays as long as there is performance to speak off :fawad

1. Well, he not express but it's his variations that work for him.
2. His action may be awful to watch, but its pretty deceptive for the batsmen, especially when he bowls his slower deliveries.
3. Yes it is, but he does have for 4 first class hundreds, and 12 fifties. People remember him for those couple of sixes in the T20 World Cup. He does come in at number 9 you know.
4. Junaid is awful in T20's. But he is better in ODI's. Tanvir should definitely be playing in T20's ahead of him, and I would have him ahead of Wahab and Anwar in the pecking order for ODI's too.

Tanvir's first 3 overs we okay, but his last over was superb. It would have cost us 8-10 runs more had anyone else bowled it...
