[VIDEO] Fakhar Zaman: A Career ruined by Nepotism, Greed and Corruption

In the past few years he only performs vs NZ in ODIs. The selectors persist with him as he has the ability to take the game away from the opposition and not many openers in Pakistan are as aggressive as him.
But its time to move on from hi.
 
Fakhar is great in Odis.

In t20s he hasn’t done well as an opener, infact his greatest innings in t20 came at number 4 vs Aus in the semi finals of t20 world cup.

Rizwan is not the answer but Fakhar should play at 4 and Haris should open for now.
 
Fakhar has been above and beyond for Pakistan in ODI format. His T20 performances have been inconsistent & underwhelming.

However if Pakistan are to move on from him, then I would like them to pick some younger new batter at No.3, maybe Maaz Sadaqat.
 
Fakhars mental midgetary is the reason behind an unfulfilled career. When he is out of form, his body language is so poor and bad that it clearly shows he doesn't want to be there. He has a lot of scores bw 10-20 which shows he failed to convert his starts. Nor did he improve his leg side play or technique. He could have done a David Warner in test cricket but he was found wanting badly against the short ball in South Africa, the selectors should have given him a chance in subcontinent conditions. His glass body didn't help matters either.

His SR of 103 in the final today is going to be part of the T20I cricket Hall of Fame.

I don’t think Afghanistan will ever recover from the assault that he launched on them.

Brother let it go. Again apologises if I have caused you issues, but at the end of the day I'm not a selector nor am I a twitter influencer with a massive following that cam influence PCB decisions.

I'm guilty of not supporting Ba/Riz which i still won't as they aren't t20 players. But you can pin other claims on me I don't mind.
 
Wonder how long before the myth that Fakhar is a T20 superstar is put to bed. Doesn’t rotate the strike, stuck on the crease with poor foot movement until he hits a few slog sixes down leg to make himself look better.
 
He needs to stop exposing his batting partners to the match up that doesn’t suit them.

If a left arm spinner is bowling, it’s Fakhar’s duty to use the angle to his advantage and take down the spinner!

He did it many times during the tri series where he fancied the wrong match up (Nabi) and was giving the one non suited to the right hander to face! That’s not smart batting and this guy is experienced enough to know this by now.

Against India, it’s his job to take down Axar if that’s what is bowled at him. Not dab for a single and let the right handers go against the spin!
 
Fakhar Zaman has a decent start here and if can stay on the wicket for another 8-10 overs, Pakistan will surely put up a decent total on board.
 
Fakhar has played more than 100+ games and is still batting like a newbie.. stuck on the crease every time... Never looked like making any improvement in his technique... Yet nobody is calling him out for this...
 
Fakhar just needs to open man. He opened in 2 games against Bangladesh earlier this year where he got a 40 odd in 1 game and then got moved to 3 and now 4.

So thats merely 2 games as an opener since 2019, and in that period hes been one of the top run getters as an (opener) in the PSL-
One of farhaan or saim have to make way.
 
The court jesters who continue to be at liberty with reality will not accept the fact that he is a poor T20 batsman and clearly inferior to both Babar and Rizwan.

It is as if it doesn’t make sense to them why he is so poor in this format and inferior to them both, so they just flatly deny it to make themselves feel better.

He is absolutely clueless in this format and #4 or #5 is the only position where you can hide him. It is funny how some people want him to open when he has already proved himself to be a failure at that number even when he was in prime which he clearly isn’t anymore.
 
Last thing we can do is drop Saim and fakhar can open with Farhan.. Saim is not doing well anyway and we don't really need him as a bowler only.. We needed him to bat well and he failed in doing so... Fakhar can move up and we can end all excuses now.

Hasan Nawaz should open. I'm done with Saim.

Also this bowling drama will end. Saim is not Axar Patel who can bowl extremely well on dead pitches. Even on semi helpful pitches saim will get bashed in the same way a washed up Mcullum bashed him for 24 runs in an over.

He is in as a batsmen and is now covering up for his failures with bowling.

Pakistan hyped him as a talent worthy of taking in the saeed anwar mantle. Not a bootleg version of Mohammad Hafeez.

And yes while Saeed Anwar is a tad bit overrated due to endlessly bashing 2nd string attacks, the attacks that he bashed were still 1000x superior to Oman, Ireland, Canada, UAE etc etc that Saim is consistently failing against.

It seems like aus, Zimbabwe and sa were purple patch series and not a sign of greatness to come.

Saim has a better shelf-life than a flavor of the month tulla like H.Nawaz who can very easily go down the Haider Ali route if he doesn’t get his act together.

He needs to realize that just because you can hit sixes it doesn’t mean you have to go after every ball.

Saim has been poor for a while and maybe the fame got to his head but the credentials are there. He is a proper batsman and no young batsman since Babar in 2016-17 has shown more potential.

You can’t drop the likes of him in a talent starved country like Pakistan. That doesn’t mean he should be hyped though.

Another problem for him right now is he has no mentorship in the team and no one to turn to. The so-called senior batsmen in the team like Agha and Fakhar are pathetic too.

He needs to play more with Babar and Rizwan, a rediscover the knack of spending time at the crease and scoring runs.

You dont need mentorship, you need performances

He is only 23. He definitely needs guidance which he is not getting from his clown coach, clown captain and clown seniors.

You need to stop this babar was his coach narrative. It is not confounded within the confines of reality nor is it backed by any logical data.

He was not his coach but any young batsman will benefit from playing alongside a proper batsman and not third class players like Farhan, Haris, Agha, Fakhar etc.

Let’s not deny the fact that Saim’s career took off when he got picked PZ after QG discarded him, and the PSL platform helped him to get selected for Pakistan where Babar moved down to #3 to accommodate him as an opener, and he was persisted with in spite of completely failing for his first 15-16 T20Is.
