[insurge]

if our team was selected on Merit.. Fawad Alam would have been Captain

meed

 

[pakcricketfan]

I think it was Mark Nicholas? Or maybe I'm wrong.

err..may be I'm wrong.
I think it was Slater.. May be someone on PP can confirm?

I think it was Nicholas

Lol.. two votes for Nicholas. It must be him, then.

 

[Momo]

Nazar laga di na.

 

[farooq_pzb]

that was terrible, looked like there was an awkward bounce though.

 

[ShehryarK]

Poor kid!

 

[sanakazmi]

not his day.

 

[Express Pace]

Cheers Alam, I praised you last game and you field like a blind paraplegic.

 

[Leonidos]

by the way how many runs did "this left handed version of Jonty Rhodes" save today??

And stay tuned for his Bradmanship.I never came across the technique of converting a catch into a six until today.

 

[cric_crazy]

it wasn't that bad........overall he was again very quick........

 

[Express Pace]

He made a ton of mistakes, what match were you watching.

What actually happended Cricinfo says this:

49.1 Saeed Ajmal to Morgan, SIX, 64.3 mph, great effort from Alam at long-on, but he can't stop the six! Bottom-handed thump down the ground by Morgan, Alam leapt but didn't time his jump very well, getting a hand to it - an achievement in itself - but tipping it over the rope.


So was it a good effort or a drop.

 

[Express Pace]

No it was a drop, he positioned himself incorrectly, wasn't even close the the boundary, should have been caught.

I was watching that great effort and I do trust my eyes rather than cricinfo.Any average fielder would have hold on to that or at least would have saved going for six.It was a poor effort completely.

 

[Rana]

I don't think todays performance has anything to do with how capable he really is in the field, hr still is the best feilder we have.

 

[COMEBACKID]

should have saved 6 runs forget the catch it was last over anyway so should have saved 6 runs end of story

 

[srh]

So Mohammad Yousuf made a better fielding decision than Fawad Alam.

He deserves a place in the Pak team based on his fielding only let alone for his batting.

Brilliant fielder
Average of 57 in FC

Still not in Pak Test Team

Greatness of PCB

I've lost them the game yesterday as he couldn't even clear the inner circle. That's why we don't pick him and rightly so.

You don't need to clear any circles in Tests

 

[aukhan]

No one wants him in the T20 side. Its the Test format where he merits his place.

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

Not needed in any format.

Saad Ali or Saud Shakeel should be sent to SA as soon as possible.

 

[SaadAliG]

We desperately need this man at number 4 in tests. Would straight away be the most reliable batsman in the team.
