[VIDEO] "Imam-ul-Haq's century today deserves to be put in the rubbish bin" : Tanvir Ahmed

[Titan24]

Scoring runs at better SR for starters? 300+ runs at 76 SR is not winning us Worldcups in 2019 era.

Willaimson has scored 481 runs at SR of 77 till now while Taylor has scored 261 at SR of 75 and they are in the semis.

While nobody has said that Imam shouldnt be improving his SR and strike rotation. His innings against Aus and SA could have been better but games against Afg and NZ were pretty slow wickets.

Also cricket is a team game and batting is based upon partnerships, if you partner his hitting the ball well and going at a good rate you can be there to support him, give him the strike and build partnership.

Yesterday against BD Fakhar was struggling and then even Babar was struggling at the start so Imam was the one who was playing role of the aggressor realizing what the team needed at that time. If the target is set to score 300 runs + as a team there is a run rate and way to go about it and if team is going well in that direction you dont need extra risks.

I know many people here are inspired by the kind of cricket England plays but for that you need a certain kind of players who can play with high SR as well as avg so they are consistent. Having 25 avg batsmen opening the innings with a SR of 100+ is useless. I am not sure if we have Bairstow and Roy kind of players, most of the teams dont have however, if there are players who can have SR of 90-100+ with averge of atleast 38-40+ I would love to hear the names.

If not than I would happily take a batsman who averages 50 + with a SR of 80+. Its easier to find ordinary players who can play couple of shots and avg 25 but finding a consistent player isnt an easy task.

 

[saeedhk]

Rich coming from you as you've been bashing Imam for quite a while now.

Nice try to derail this thread, if you want to discuss him, why don't you go back to the one you made "Did benching Imad Wasim really help Pakistan taste victory again?", or are you just too much of a chicken to deal with the posters on there calling you out? You may as well block them as well, since you can't take it on the chin, but you brought this upon yourself.

I'm no cheerleader, I called you out for opening anti-Imad threads because well you just dislike him on a personal level, so much so you vouched for a sub-standard cricketer like Faheem to replace Imad, just before the WC.

Imad was Pakistan's best player against Afghanistan and was rightly awarded man of the match. He saved us from an embarrassing defeat, which would have eliminated us out of this WC on this day last week. Unlike Imam, he hasn't just performed in the dead rubber, we played yesterday. He's been striking it at 115-120 in this WC and although his average is boosted by a couple of not out scores, he's done well to come up with 3 x 40+ scores in the six appearances he's made in this tournament.

Agreed. People hate on Imad but love Imam. Imam was missing in the whole WC. His SR was 68 before Bangladesh match. While Imad has been a good finisher for us. Imad is a brave cricketer who plays for the team while Imam plays for his average or maybe it’s just that he is a mediocre batsman, could be both.

 

[Kianig89]

Absolutely Imam is a selfish player who doesn't play according to the situation just plays for himself and also looks overconfident and h

Imam had some pretty good contributions in the world cup. Apart from his Ind game he has looked good in this wc. Had a soft dismissal against Aus otherwise was playing a very good knock under pressure. Also played really well against Eng and gave Pakistan start they could carry on to get big score. Was finding easy against Afghanistan as well and got out due to over confident rather than lack of skills.

Imam has really surprised me as a batsman as I have been used to seeing hacks open for us in last 15 years. He really does look a solid batsman and needs to be persisted with.

Replacement of Imam will be Awais Zia, Mukhtar ahmed, Farhan or Khurrum Manzoor and also Ahmed Shehzad. Imam looks way better than these options. He has done so much in his little career that none of the opening batsmen we produced last 10 odd years could do. He has been a consistent performer. Yes he struggled against Ind this wc but he is young and can improve. He has actually strengthened our batting.

[fitCricFan]

Lets see this in the context of the match that Pak had to win with an out-of-this-world margin to qualify on NRR.

If Pakistan had managed to get BD out for less than 100, then you could make the argumaent that Imam batted slow otherwise Pak would have won. The fact that BD scored more than 225 makes it more than clear that BD is not a club team and Imam did just fine. If Imam's innings is rubbish than so is Afrid's 6 wicket haul as he and Amir couldn't get the BD team out for under 7 runs so Pak could qualify

 

[MRSN]

I think most batsmen evolve with time and their strike rate improves as well the more they play. Baber is a great example we have. He was also criticised as selfish and slow player but in last 12 months we have seen him improve his strike rate and range of shots. Imam has a good defence and good array of shots against pacers. His main problen is getting boundaries off spinners which given time he will improve as we have seen with Baber.

 

[Major]

People who saw the match would agree with what Tanveer Ahmed said

forget score cards.

Look at the damn match. Before the 30th overs, the situation required Pakistan to bat as such that they get 180-200 by the 30th over, and then to play t20 cricket and get 200 off the last 20 overs.
Which is why the runrate of Babar and Imam was acceptable by that time.

Infact, Babar started ti pace his innings at that time. He took advantage of teh powerplay and played shots, and even the way he got out, he was risky it by flicking it for 4 runs.


After babar got out, and we had reached the 30th over. It was time Imam and Hafeez to play t20. It was clearly beeing seen that Imam was just after his meaningless 100. He batted slow at a time when the base was set for him to go for the 400. He and and Haafeez did not even bothered.

Winning this match meant nothing, what mattered more was trying to go for 400+, and at one point it seemed possible as Pakistan lost only 1 damn wicket by thee 28th over.

Imam deserves the criticism.
Stop looking at the score card, watch the actual game.

The pitch was not conducive to scoring 400. They gave up on it. Simple.

Bhai, they did not give up on it. They just decided to score personal mile stones and save their spots

Babar Azam was easily getting 7-10 runs of the overs before he got out.

They never took the risk. After the 30th over, they should had went all in. They were 2 down for gods sake. Could had sent Wahab Above for pinch hitting.

The score after 30 overs was 163. The general rule is to double that, they got 152 more. If Babar stayed there, they might have gotten around 340, that's it. They finished 9 down

Listen to Arthur's presser. They gave up on 400 after the start, they knew it wasn't possible on that pitch.

bhai again, when you have wickets, you can go 10 an over. They had 8 damn wickets, with a settle batsmen(imam) still playing.

They only gave up on 400, when babar got out. One wicket with 4 batsmen to come and they gave up on it. Because Babar was playing fast in the last few overs of his batting.

400 was gettable, only problem was that these guys didnt know how to play spin. I was even surpirsed by what Hafeeez was doing.

Risk was needed, and Mickey should ahd sent Wahab Riaz for pinch hitting.

No Risk was ever taken!

Thing was simple take a risk and go for it. Doesnt matter if we won or lost, what mattered was that we should had showed we were going for it.

You can go 10 an over if you have the personnel, and if the pitch assists you.

Pakistan made 315/9, Bangladesh made 221 all out. What makes you think this was a 400 pitch? Pakistan didn't try to go for 400 and yet were 9 down at the end.

You're talking about Wahab as if he's AB. He average 14 with 2 fifties in 87 ODIs. He's a good slogger, that's about it.

 

[sshakir411]

You should have before making such an uninformed comment because he was striking at 100 today.

My point was it took too long for Imam to increase his strike rate in the World Cup. The innings he did play at a run a ball was in the game where the team’s target was to get close to 400..:so in that regard it was just okay. I don’t think I need to praise his innings or performance..I’ve already written in a 100 different threads that I think he’s a good batsman and would make it to the team regardless of his uncle.

 

[jadaja]

How is it pathetic, he scored at higher SR than Babar.This guy Tanvir is a clown along wit another clown Basit Ali.

Tanvir you clown not every 100 scored is in winning cause and that doesn't make it a bad innings.

For once I have to agree with you, well said.

 

[topspin]

Don't forget when Imam once said "I am automatic selection because I average ...". Can't exactly remember what figure he gave but I know it was 50+.

Sums up his mentality and how he plays for his stats.

As for all you lot vouching for Imam, how do you justify a strike rate of 68 in his first 8 matches (when it mattered)?

 

[Major]

You're talking about Wahab as if he's AB. He average 14 with 2 fifties in 87 ODIs. He's a good slogger, that's about it.

Im saying on the basis of the platform that was set and the way Babar scored quick runs towards his end.

Plus, the 9 wicekt happened due to the normal approach of the game. And we cant talk about the 221 all out of bangladesh, had the score been different, a different approach or planning would had went against bangladesh when we came out to bowl.

Your not understanding, that Pakistan should had tried. WInning or losing this game normally meant nothing. What mattered was whether they were putting an effort for the semi final which they do not.

161 after 30th over. The BASE of the innings was set. 200 was possible, remember 2 set batsmen and more to come.

I never said Wahab is AB, but Wahab can strike the ball, even a 20 by him would had helped us. What we needed was slogging!

20 overs left in the game with 9 wickets in hand, this should had warrant some slogging from the player. I dont care if we would had been 250 alll out due to slogging, atleast the effort would had been put in.

Imam's centuy was a joke

 

[topspin]

Imad is a brave cricketer who plays for the team while Imam plays for his average or maybe it’s just that he is a mediocre batsman, could be both.

Indeed, I like how Imad shows good intent with the bat with a cool head. Unlike Imam, he plays for the team and sets a good example. I would have either Amir or him as our next captain, with the other as vice-captain.

 

[iniqbal223]

To some extent I agree with Tanveer : Whether he said in hatred or not. Its true that Imam plays for himself, and don't compare with Fakhar. At least for Fakhar he some how managed to have one match winning performance unlike Imam who scores majorly against minnows and in inconsequential games. I still remember how he played might fast bowler Vijay Shankar? Where was his batting against West Indies? Where was his batting against Australia (some how played for his 40-50 ) ? Where was his graceful batting against Afganistan when team needed to finish earlier?

We generally give soft corners to our mediocre players by saying , in that game XYZ also did not perform, at least Imam made 20-30 runs. This is not how it is. Fakhar will be dropped soon based on his 0 performance. But what Imam did is secured his place for more minnow bashing, and same will happen in next big assignments, he will fail again, and cycle will repeat...

Bhai, you are just repeating the same points in longer paragraphs and completely ignoring what I am writing.

Pitch conditions dictate everything. England scored 481 against Australia at Nottingham. Do you think they could have easily replicated that on a slower pitch? You are looking at the match and everything from a linear perspective.

Q. Mickey, what was the plan today? Was it in your mind that Pakistan could score 400-plus and then get Bangladesh out? Was that in the minds?

MICKEY ARTHUR: I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a discussion. We did discuss it. But I think that was something that we could only assess once -- we did something right. We won the toss, which was a good start. That kept us alive. And then the first 10 overs were going to be quite crucial. You can't just walk in there and go, I think we're going to get 400. Getting 400 is a platform. You need to get a good base, and you need to move.

The message we got from Fakhar when he came back in the change room was it was slow. Balls going into the wicket were quite tough. We realized that getting -- the average score, I think, is 270 over the tournament. I mean, getting 400 was a bit of a pipe dream. And then we realized we just wanted to win and we wanted to win well.

When we had batted around 20 overs, I stated in the Match Thread that I felt the wicket was a little slow. The batsmen weren't able to play freely and easily hit through the line. How on earth will slogging get you to 400 on a slow pitch?

You keep pointing out the wickets in hand, but that doesn't mean we had the resources to get 400, even if the pitch was a belter. You should blame the management for not having played Asif Ali in that case. There is 0% chance of Hafeez, Haris, Sarfaraz scoring 200-250 off 20 overs. Imad can up the ante, but he rarely scores big. And Wahab is good for a few sixes, that's it.

Scoring 400 would only have been possible if Fakhar got off to a flyer and we got around 70 in the powerplay. The complete opposite happened. If Fakhar gets off to a flier, you can aim for 100 off ~14 overs, get to 200 around the 30 over mark, then try to double that, with one of the main batsmen, preferably Babar batting through, as he can play at a faster rate than Imam.

Imam and Babar played well to get to 163 by the 30th over and put us in a position for a good total. 400 was impossible.

simple 1 line answer

take the risk and go for it. Risk was not taken. yes yes i get your point on conditions and all. But a slog fest should had taken place.

risk was not taken after 30th over. Winning by scoring 300 didn't matter here

And throw common sense out of the window? It's a World Cup, I don't consider any World Cup match a dead rubber.

You need to respect the opposition. Anyone dreaming of a 308+ run victory against Bangladesh was simply delusional. Sure, they could have tried to score 400 and hope for a miracle, but once they ascertained that wasn't possible, they settled to play for a win. I'm fine with that and I think it was the right decision.

 

[Mamoon]

Tanvir Ahmed’s whole career belongs in the rubbish bin.

 

[leatherface58]

What did Tanvir Ahmed ever achieve apart from being out of shape and hurling 70 mph screamers in South Africa?

 

[Majestic_Inzi]

These media entities really annoy me and why do players take note, snowflakes..

Akram, Ramiz and co all put pressure on babar to improve strike rate quicker than 100.

Babar is our Williamson, our root our smith. Dont try to change him and try ro make him a gung ho player which he isnt.

Back to topic if imaam didnt make century pak would never had made 300.

 

[Extra_Cover]

I'm quite surprised at some of the posts in this thread and quite literally people in here are blaming Imam for a win, lets digest that first! Imam, is being negatively criticised where the team has won and he has been the man of the match.

Ok now onto serious stuff for people blaming Imam why aren't they blaming the bowlers? Technically 400 means nothing as we should have restricted them to 80 runs so tell me as Bangladesh scored more than 80 runs why aren't the bowlers criticized lol.

Now on a serious note Pakistan was never in contention of qualifying from start of game itself as this sort of margin has NEVER been achieved in the entire history of cricket. And yet despite that some posters criticizing the Imam for not achieving what has never been achieved.

Logic is lost on some posters.

Exactly, that shows how selfish he is. He was playing for personal milestone. The goal was to cement his place, and become automatic selection again. Imam, Ahmed Shahzad, Umar Akmal - same category, selfish players....

 

[nam]

Willaimson has scored 481 runs at SR of 77 till now while Taylor has scored 261 at SR of 75 and they are in the semis.

While nobody has said that Imam shouldnt be improving his SR and strike rotation. His innings against Aus and SA could have been better but games against Afg and NZ were pretty slow wickets.

Also cricket is a team game and batting is based upon partnerships, if you partner his hitting the ball well and going at a good rate you can be there to support him, give him the strike and build partnership.

Yesterday against BD Fakhar was struggling and then even Babar was struggling at the start so Imam was the one who was playing role of the aggressor realizing what the team needed at that time. If the target is set to score 300 runs + as a team there is a run rate and way to go about it and if team is going well in that direction you dont need extra risks.

I know many people here are inspired by the kind of cricket England plays but for that you need a certain kind of players who can play with high SR as well as avg so they are consistent. Having 25 avg batsmen opening the innings with a SR of 100+ is useless. I am not sure if we have Bairstow and Roy kind of players, most of the teams dont have however, if there are players who can have SR of 90-100+ with averge of atleast 38-40+ I would love to hear the names.

If not than I would happily take a batsman who averages 50 + with a SR of 80+. Its easier to find ordinary players who can play couple of shots and avg 25 but finding a consistent player isnt an easy task.

We all know how lucky NewZealand has been by reaching semis. Will be a cake walk for India to final. In this day and age we need batsmen to score quickly or at least catch up so they end up at 100+ SR. How do we expect to challenge best in the business when we can’t score quickly? If we don’t have bench strength we’ll we need to promote a certain brand of cricket like England and only fittest survive. Eventually we will get there. I have no problem with Imam but his low SR which is simply not acceptable at this day and age.

Imam earned his selection through his domestic performances. Although he needs to improve his SR, fielding and needs to discipline his media talks but he has justified his selection.



7 Odi hundreds in 30 odd odi’s is a dream for any Pakistani limited overs cricket opener.




Tanveer has zero shame. For the sake of ARY show getting good TRP he is not shying away from uttering rubbish.



Absolutely Disgraceful.

Lose lose situation for Imam. He scores and people criticize him, if he failed people would say "he can't even score runs in dead-rubbers"

 

[Mercurial]

This guy acts and talks like a mafia goon, at times.

I pity Imam and I'm one of his few fans. I have to say though, he is partly the reason for this criticism. He is combative. People dont like that when you are wearing spectacles like a good student and strike at less than run a ball. Those attributes are stereotypes for calm behaviour typically.

But I get why he's being combative. He's one rank away from being in top 10 official rankings. He's been the best opening bat for Pak in a few years. Despite that people keep mentioning Inzi and nepotism. He has no chance but to bite and say things like "automatic selection" and "Babar and I are main batsmen" as a defense mechanism. People get riled up. It's a cycle

 

[Ahmad Shah]

Tanvir Ahmad as new bowling coach

Since worldcup is over
And azhar Mehmood contract not likely to continue therefore what if we make tanvir Ahmad as our bowling coach
Both M akram and azhar Mehmood far inferior bowlers than him coached Pakistan team what's wrong in trying him?
He looks passionate
He had great knowledge of the game
He was a master swing bowler of his era
Definitely he can help Pakistani pacers

 

[Ahmad Shah]

I'm sure many fans here will support him for this position

 

[Usman Chadda]

No way in hell. The guy is a loony toon, and will likely cause disruption in the camp.

Please keep the likes of Tanvir Ahmed and Razzaq away from the team.

 

[Third_Umpire]

Is this the guy who's been sitting on TV and talking shi all world cup? He's a one test wonder type of player with a big mouth, why would we want him as coach?

What else... Basit Ali as batting coach? Sarfraz Nawaz as head coach?

 

[Savak]

I wouldn't recommend tanvir ahmed for even a latrine position. The guy should have been banned from talking after embarrassing Pakistan with his 120 km/hr grunts in South Africa

 

[Madplayer]

I'm sure many fans here will support him for this position

I wonder what made you think so

 

[moghul]

Its embarrassing to listen to his comments on TV, doesn't make any sense , almost of Razzaq class. I don;t think a person like him should come even close to the team.

 

[Snowflake]

Master swing bowler of his era )

 

[MRSN]

He should be hired to improve Amir's grunts. No one screams better bowling 120kph thunderbolts better than Tanvir Ahmed. Lol

 

[Ahmad Shah]

Many people forget about his achievements
He was the highest wicket taker of quaid e azam trophy in 2010
He took 90 wickets in it
Known for his master swing

 

[surg]

Stay away from him. He is hot tempered and ill logical
Need a cool head on top

 

[Godhelpma]

Are you Tanvir Ahmad disguised as Ahmad Shah?

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

We do not care whether he took 90 or 120 wickets in that season.



We need honest and steady minds as coaches.




We have not forgot the intellectual dishonesty whereby an unfit Tanveer could not say No to PCB because of the money and perks and took flight for South Africa. The Diesel Engine could barely hit 122 kph and was no Asif. It was highly embarrassing to see that torturous Test Match with Tanveer bowling slower than 50 years old Wasim Akram.




Lastly Tanveer or his PR manager should be made aware that we have seen and heard him on TV where his verbal diarrhoea has been on exhibition for years. The legend mocked & ridiculed Pakistan’s most successful Captain Misbah ul Haq and one of Top 5 batsmen we have produced in 72 years ie Inzamam ul Haq.



Further Tanveer lied blatantly calling Imam ul Haq a P**chi when he was selected for Pakistan after scoring heavily in Pakistan’s FC season on difficult pitches averaging 45 plus and impressing everyone out in the business.




Tanveer’s Cricketing support for Co Karachite Faisal Iqbal has been nauseating given Faisal’s superb Test and Odi record. If he was honest brave man he would have supported Co Karachite Asim Kamal and should have said that Asim Kamal was robbed of 8 years of Test Cricket due to Faisal Iqbal and hands behind his selection.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Tanvir is a pathetic character. But I believe we should have tried to go for 400+ but the person to blame for this is not Imam, its Fakhar. He is one person in the team who could have made it happen. He started slow and never went for it. In the end scored a pathetic 13 off 31balls. Why is no one talking about him?

 

[Aenigma]

A lot of you also don’t realise he is probably our best fielder too. I see a lot of stupid comments on here, stats aren’t everything

 

[aukhan]

Tanvir Ahmed is a nobody. Imam has issues with SR but he should never listen to this piece of trash.

 

[MenInG]

This is exactly the kind of person who in the new world of Wasim Khan will ever step inside a cricket field as a player in Pakistan again.

Expect him to mouth off for months against PCB and Misbah etc but we all know the quality of such people and their supporters

This is how Tanvir Ahmed has managed to market, sell himself and the TV channels call him because b of his firemouth nature. Lol, the guy even has his YouTube channel now
