This is the time for Haris Sohail

[faizanafzal]

I was pretty surprised with this Pakistani tactic of announcing the squad just a day before against India and South Africa matches. I was scratching my head that how on earth can someone be so foolish that you show up your cards before the right time and do not surprise your opposition.

Being intelligent Pakistan should bring in the Haris Sohail in place of Azhar Ali or M.Hafeez and surprise the England. My heart says that this guy is as hungry as a cornered tiger and will play a match winning knock and will not let down his team and the expectations. Its all just to believe in that guy once again. He has already proved previously on different occasions but trust in him once again

How bad will it be if he opens the innings with Fakhar?

Worse than Azhar or Hafeez?

That's the thing... it's near impossible to be worse than them. Though we will need Hafeez's bowling, so Azhar should have a seat.

 

[Markhor]

The time for Haris Sohail was at the start of the tournament and to play all the matches.

Instead we're still lumbered with Azhar and Hafeez.

We probably won't pick him as its a semi-final but Azhar and Hafeez's positions are untenable.

If only Azhar had been dismissed early on against India. Haris would have been playing from the second match.

He will give you a run a ball 50-80. Something Hafeez can't do. He will just choke the innings. No.4 batting slot is very important for flow of an innings.

NO

this is the time for Azhar and Hafeez - they will come good, they are too experienced and too talented to not deliver in a big game

Azhar cant do a run a ball his strike rotating skills are poor even in tests. When has Hafeez ever delivered in England? If you remember he got dropped from the squad at this time last year b'c he can not get it done here.

 

[LordEddardStark]

One of Hafeez or Azhar has to go this time. Clearly our strategy with both of them on top is not working and tomorrow is the D-Day. No second chances. It's now or never.

Hahaha good joke

10 years and still waiting.

 

[Talha]

Pakistan really needs to start looking at Hafeez and Azhar replacements.

 

[IAJ]

NO

Surely sarcasm?

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Some people need a new sarcasm detector.

I have to agree with you sir! They are our match winners. We have been holding them back and waiting patiently for the right time to unleash them. Watch AA and MH score quick-fire 70's off 40ish balls and decimate the English paceman especially Wood. Than Imad will come in a tale Moe Ali and Rashi bhai Rasheed to the cleaners batting without a helmet, but with his trademark sunglasses. Pak to score 424:

F Zaman 50 - 30 balls
AA 75 - 43 balls
B A 50 - 50 balls
MH 78 - 47 balls
Imad W 151 99 balls
Fah A 20 5 balls

Extras insert whatever

(Math might not add up but who cares right? )

 

[ar2020]

I don't understand why people say we need Hafeez's bowling. Haris can bowl well too.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I fear Non selection of Haris will cost us big time.

 

[CricFan2012]

I don't understand why people say we need Hafeez's bowling. Haris can bowl well too.

exactly, hafeez chucker will got called sooner or later as well.

 

[PakLFC]

Time to give Harris a go now. Changes need to be made in the batting line up.

 

[adil_909]

The thing is, if they drop Azhar and Hafeez and play Harris and Shadab, even if Harris gets out for a duck and Shadab gets hit for 100 runs, nobody will fault Sarfraz and Mickey for picking them. They will be applauded for giving youngsters a chance. There is no good reason to not make those changes.
