Real tailend slog from the Afridi

I don't understand his position on the team. Doesn't get wickets anymore. Doesn't score runs. Superstar status for what?
 
I think this is a good debate actually, and will shape our team in the future. I do not think anybody believes in Sharjeel, and most do not with Hafeez at #3.

As one of the "pro-Umar" camps, I completely agree. The shot today, absolutely MORONIC. No justification for it, cannot be defended at all.

But for a 24 year old, is that "un-fixable"? Maybe, I cannot say for sure. But if I am selecting the team, he gets more chances for me. Umar Akmal plays all the way until the end of the next world cup. And I try to bat him in the top 4 in almost any chance I get.

Yh every 'youngster' that comes in has batted above Umar, it's about time he gets a chance up the order but only for 2 matches :facepalm:

Agreed, i think this is easier to fix and he will fix it In'Sha'Allah, ideally he should be given a run at 3 till the World Cup, but doubt it, guess we'll just have to wait and see.
 
It's performances like these which usually see the captain get sacked straight away. Similar to how Shoaib Malik's tenure ended.
 
And some people will predict who will be the highest scorer of the innings AFTER the innings is over ;)

Unlike you, I already posted at the start, I would not have played Sharjeel. I would have personally played Anwar Ali. He is a good batsman unlike Junaid who cannot bat at all, and Anwar has good movement.

Junaid needs a few days on the bench until he learns to bowl at the death.

lol i didnt talk about the combination of the team. i said i would not have batted first seeing that green tinge on the pitch and cloud cover. i am sure these professionals can read the pitch better than me. but batting first on this pitch knowing how great your batting is is committing suicide.
see now afridi gone :facepalm:
 
Fawad and Sarfraz epitomize everything Pak is missing at the moment.

Confidence, Courage and a brain.
 
His stats are pretty good very good compared to our other batsmen even when batting out of his batting position and you can just tell he has the most potential and i see him doing even better than our other batsmen :usman




It doesn't matter how many runs he scores, it's better to have a lower average if you get out playing a 'sensible' shot :facepalm:

More potential at what??Becoming an Afridi 2.0. believe me thats where he is heading.No brains whatsoever.

Afridi was the same and he played some amazing knocks too, back in the day which made everyone go gaga over him.

But the truth is you need brains to survive at this level, something which he seriously seems to be lacking.
 
What a rubbish cricket team.

Need a fresh approach for the next series. Start by removing Misbah.

Haris, Fawad, Maqsood need to be the pillars of our batting line-up.

Yeah. Like removing Misbah will automatically make them number 1. Whoever the captain is, these guys will remain the same. You will still see batting collapses like these.
 
And some people want Afridi as captain.

Joke.

It's time to get rid of most of these players including Misbah.
 
Doesn't matter how many batters or bowlers play when you have a mediocre attitude and rubbish players like Sharjeel as your openers, your not gonna win games.
 
:out gone and wahab is gone!!!!!

77/8 guys. If this doesnt create changes and some kickouts then nothing will.

Lool okay.

Time will tell
 
Surely it's time to say goodbye to captaincy now for Misbah. I'd give it to Fawad Alam.
 
We need to try out more domestic players. sharjeel should never ever be played again. umar shouldnt bat over 6 and ahmed needs a wake up call here.
 
what a nose dive considering the first match chase hahahaha
 
Yaar SR 100 nai horaha....

Why are they batting so slow...

Lmao :)))

50 over tow bat nai hotay ... Worrying about SR and RR ...
 
This team is a joke.... I dont care what kind of pitch it is, how do you end up at 77/8... this is beyond pathetic.

Please make changes, somebody has to answer for this disaster
 
if after this crappy performance there are no major changes in Pakistan team then hell with this team
 
This type of collapse is good for us!!! An eye opening for selectors and get rid of Misbah, Afridi, Hafeez, Sharjeel,
 
You know I can sort of see why Misbah bats at 2-3 runs per over till Pakistan reaches 40 overs.

he knows the bottom 5 can't be trusted to bat even more than 10.

That's coming from a guy who knows it's time for Misbah to retire.
