Meh these experts who achieved zilch in their careers need to be put in the bin. Who watches these people anyways, saying anything to get more views.

Tanvir is full of trash, why do people still listen to him. He is worse than Basit Ali and that in itself is an achievement.
 
What did Sohail Tanvir say that's wrong? Imam ul Haq is quickly becoming Ahmed Shehzad 2.0.
Does nothing in matches that matter, and scores a ton in the most useless pointless match ever.

Where was this century during the previous matches? Could have sure used it during the West Indies match where he scored a massive TWO runs.

Good. It's about time the media start grilling these clowns. Enough of this "tum jeeto ya haro" nonsense. Lazy, inept batting and batsmen should be called out for what they are.
 
then what about Amir's wickets, shaeen's wickets, babar's runs???

What did you achieve in your career Mr tanveer, you used to bowl 120 mph. I am sure my grandma can bowl faster than you.

people need to understand there are other 10 players are playing what did they do?
 
Tanvir Ahmed said something what a lot of people felt today. Gutsy personality.

He is absolutely right on these biased individuals Ramiz Raja, Waqar Younis who never criticise Imam the way they go after Sarfaraz or others. They never mention his performance however Imam plays and then shower praises if he does something once in 5 innings.

I doubt it but we were never scoring 400+ against Bangladesh.

He atleast gave us a solid platform along with Babar.

If only this century came against West Indies or Australia...

However he played he played for the country not for his place and earned his cap after toiling fo ryears in the first class level was never gifted a test cap by anyone. If Imam and Babar like selfish players remain , there would come a time that selfless playing for the team total would be remembered of previous players.

We all know Imam is the king of soft runs, but a WC century remains special and he deserves credit for it.

Criticizing is one thing, but they over do it making it ridiculous.
 
Team got to a match winning score.

This would be a poor innings chasing 350, but batting first knowing 300 is a match winning score, the innings was just fine.

Some people criticize for the sake of it, or because they think it will get them more views.
 
The viciousness and sensationalism of comments from some former Pakistan cricketers is often quite disturbing. From former players who have 'been there' you would expect greater empathy and understanding.
 
He did the right thing. Played a sensible knock. We beat bangla at the WC. Imagine their fans had we lost this game.
 
He is an illiterate version of shoaib akhtar, unfortunately I have played against him in custom academy & this guy was truly :facepalm:

Used to screamed like maria sharapova after bowling at 115 kph.
 
To be honest this much hatred towards Imam is saddening.

He scored his 100 at a faster rate than Babar batted today but still he is somehow blamed for something nobody knows as Pak won the match.
 
Tanvir Ahmed is an unpleasant individual but even I have agree with him, it was a dead rubber ton. Before today's match, Imam was averaging 25 with a sub-70 SR when it really mattered and for this reason he's one of the two main culprits (along with Hasan Ali), as to why Pakistan failed to enter the semis. I know Asif Ali and Shoaib Malik were awful but they've only played 2 and 3 games in this WC respectively.

I have always maintained (prior to this WC), that Imam was not ready for this tournament, but I have always been optimistic about his development and supportive of his inclusion in the post-WC team, however he needs to be brought down to Earth, because he reeks of arrogance with nothing to show for it, as evident by his self-assessment when he claimed he was an "automatic selection" in the side and lets not forget the way he was fancying himself against the best ODI bowler in the world.

I want Imam dropped until the end of the calendar year, so he can learn his lesson and realise he should stop taking his place in the side for granted.

So Babar also didnt play for the team’s cause along with Hafeez, Malik, Fakhar and Haris?

Who played for the team’s cause then?
 
Not sure why tv channels keep bringing in uneducated former players who barely had any career.
 
It was a fine knock. What is he blabbering about.

Imam does need to improve his game against spin bowling though. He tends to stall his innings midway.

37 matches 7 centuries, how is he taking his place for granted?

Yes he needs to up his SR but he is 23 and will get better with time.

Yeah I remember his grunt after bowling at 120 kph with all the huffing and puffing that long follow through :facepalm:
 
Sorry i know we won but Imam was too slow in the first 15 overs.

Tanvir’s reaction is over the top though. Imam is worth further investing in. The guy who needs a boot (for now) is Fakhar Zaman.
 
Yes timeless and useless century but it was good, should continue with imam atleast 8 years without getting dropped.
 
Absolutely pathetic Theres a way of making a point ie good to see him make runs today but they wouldbe been worth a lot more if they came earlier in the tournament when pakistan needed them

Being vicious and degrading isnt the way Criticism must be constructive however pakistan has too many channels and ex players who are vindictive and uneducated who just dont know how to behave on national tv
Tanveer is just one of many
 
Why single out Imam, this is beyond stupidity, why everyone is in love with Babar, his strike rate is similar to Imam, I doubt if NZ score would have been 300, he would have kept with the run rate. Btw who is this guy Tanveer Ahmed, never heard of him.
 
Tanveer is right. Such selfish centuries have no value or importance at all. It was just to impress his "chachu" that's all.
 
Although Imam's run scoring patterns are becoming a habit of his, and surely he needs to score when it matters, but this is no way to put your thoughts forward in public. That too when you yourself was taken to cleaners by Irish and WI batters that were at the time the weakest batting lineups.
Similarly his debut 6fer should be thrown into the dustbin as well as it only led to a draw.

Definitely seems like it and I am pretty surprised the undue hatred Imam gets. He is not perfect but he is a promising young batsman we have produced in a long time along with Babar obviously.

I guess the reason is just because he is a nephew of Inzi. If his name would have been Sahibzada Farhan, Saud Shakeel, Zeeshan Malik etc he would have been hyped to moon and we would have been seeing comparison threads with Kohli.

We need to overcome these personal agendas and hypocrisy to become better as a nation and even in cricket.
 
These ex cricketers speak rubbish as they known rubbish is what excites small minded people.

Just out of interest did this joke an analyst play for Pakistan for any extended period? And if so what was his record?
 
The lad is selected and he is trying his best, right now he can at best score run a ball. What we need is an explosive opener at the other end. Imam’s role should be to play the full 50 overs.
 
You guys are pathetic. How many teams score over 400? Pakistan rarely do. If we went for 400 we wouldn't have gotten to the score we did. Imam isnt capable of playing like Roy and Bairstow so these selfish claims are pathetic.

He played at a run a ball and we won the game.
 
Aptly put by Amir

Imam is hated for his surname.

Otherwise, any player with his numbers and age would be lauded.

oh yes,,Imam was one of the biggest problems ,,,but do enlighten us about Fakhar..the opener who hasnt got it in him to even stay at the crease.A true walking wicket.
 
Tanvir Ahmed has talked a lot of rubbish on this show but this is one of the things I agree with 100%!

Imam Ul-Haq plays for himself. He has trouble rotating the strike and is not a match winner.

When he is on the crease I always think he is a walking wicket, his presence on the crease doesn't give a sense of relief or calmness. All the fans know he can lose his wicket at any time and he will never win us the game. His 100 against Bangladesh means nothing in the grand scheme of things. The only thing it does is secure his selection hence why I said he plays for himself.

Where was this 100 vs West Indies? India? Australia? New Zealand? That's when the fans could stand up and praise his inning. Making meaningless runs that have no impact on their side's success hold no value in my book.
 
Inzy has not only selected him for every format in every squad.. his also undroppable anyone dares rest him will feel inzys wrath.. mafia raaj!!

This is the reason why nz will be enjoying semis nxt week & pak fans drooling what might have been!!
 
While Imam deserves criticism for lack of runs previously in this tournament, this kind of stupid criticism is unjustified. Our TV channels should do some due diligence before getting any bhooka nanga to sit on their shows and berate their players like this.

Tanvir was himself an average cricketer, and his comments are shady.

Could have put it eloquently, but i agree with the sentiment. Even babr was getting a go on but imam just kept up his snail pace.

Spot on. Most selfish innings in history.
Click to expand...

Yes,he should also have done a Fakhar.
To even think of scoring 500 with most batting lineups, you need a special kind of charas.Do realize we aint playing SuperManSuper11.
If our lineup had tried to slog from the start,they would have lost and then what would the reactions have been ?
The only dignity here was to play for pride ,avoid a loss.

True enough Imam hasnt had a great tournament but comparing to most of the other batters we have in the lineup : Sarfraz,Malik,Hafeez,Fakhar,Asif...his innings have been of more substance in nearly all the matches.
 
Imam deserves a lot of praise for his contribution ... Fakhar was exposed badly ...not scoring runs at all ..
Ignoring WI (where everyone was sleeping on the pitch), he only had 2 bad games, vs NZ nd India.. what else do you want .. he is our best bet as an opener... people who want him to blaze away, remember this that we didnt have a good middle order ... see what happened against Aus and Ind... this always playes on our openers minds .... so learn abt the game before you go bonkers commenting abt it
100 v Bangladesh
36 v Afghanistan
19 v New Zealand
44 v South Africa
7 v India
53 v Australia
44 v England
2 v West Indies
 
He is fast becoming Tendulkar rather than match winner selfish-less Inzimam. I guess DNA makes no difference.

lol "Special Chars" lol ... i seriously pity for people who think 500 is so simple and easy to make.. they think the other teams have just not been doing it for the sake of it ... lol

Bangladesh are a decent team.. no1 in this tournament could actually make 500 against a decent club bowling ... its 500 ... lol
 
These ex-players seem to have taken too many blows to the head. Okay even if we did score 400 - were we really going to bowl Bangladesh out for 80-odd ?

However our ex-players don't have any tactical or situational awareness. Instead they shoot from the hip and watch the YouTube views soar.

Yes yes,,,in our SpringyWrist playing 11 Imam is the only guy who has trouble rotating the strike.
And who needs Imam when you have Fakhar the ultimate "match winner" and "impact player."

And please do stop talking trash about technique.Its fakahr who is a walking wicket.Imam actually seems far more solid as better batting sense than Fakhar.

You also need to stop expecting an opening batsman to play like a finisher.Openers are supposed to get teams off to a decent start and he generally does that alright.Its the job of the rest to capitalize on that.
 
Tanveer talking rubbish, Imam played a good inns which went a long way in winning the match for Pak, 400+ was Bollywood stuff and chasing it would have resulted in Pak probably being all out for under 200 and loosing.
 
Barking as usual. Because his buddies didn't get selected. Fawad, khurram manzoor etc.

imam is good. problem is imam and babar are similar in style. we need an explosive player who is reliable at number 2. drop zaman and bring in sharjeel. groom him.
babar needs to improve his strike rate. all are good players.
 
I’ve always liked Imam and he has a future opening in Odi’s and tests...

Take out the SA tour, you'll see he's the king of baby soft runs. But this was suffice for him to consider himself to be "an automatic selection", so isn't it obvious with this attitude he takes his place for granted?

So other opener should carry the burden of scoring shots while Imam can relax and play till 50 overs means he has no specific role. This is a recipe for disaster. 9 out of 10 times the other opener will fail. Fakhar failed big time because of this. Both openers might have different abilities but around the world both openers share the payload.

You're asking me the same question again and I have responded to that (either yesterday or day before), so you can either accept it or we can disagree.

But I'll briefly summarise. Before this game, Fakhar and Imam had scored similar number of runs, but the former's strike rate was significantly higher, because he didn't waste deliveries the way his opening partner did (before today), he wasn't as much of a liability.

hahhaah yeh team [Imam, Babar, Haris, hafeez] 400 karsakti thi. When Sarfaraz said that we will try to battle hard to qualify, many people believed he will seriously oust p@rchi nephew and bring in Asif Ali. Then when the match started many beleived Pakistan will initially try to attack and show their fans they made an effort. That effort never came. Fakhar played 13 off 31. This joker nephew did tuk tuk for 40 overs and completed his 100 playing 70 dot balls on a track against Mehidy where bowl was not spinning.

It was pathetic and sick to watch.
 
So much hatred against Imam - without his 100 we would have lost the match. Give him some credit for today.

If you keep Imam on the other end, even Sir Viv Richards coming to partner him will fail.
 
Let me channel the intellectually gifted in this thread: imran getting dismissed for a 30 off 15 balls would be playing for the team cause
 
We are scoring 300+ With regularity and ppl are complaining about that
 
This guy is a *****. Bowled “pace” at 105 kph and sadly showed a bad image of Pakistani pace bowling. Why do they get this guy as a pundit. Only negativity and nothing else.

His career is rotting in the trash bin, someone please take out the trash.
 
It is easy for these below average cricketers to get on TV and talk smack. This guy was rubbish as a player. Now he goes on TV to bash Pakistan cricket team so he can get ratings and keep a job.

I agree that Imam really needs to up his strike rate. He puts other players under pressure by not scoring fast. Modern day cricket is fast and if Imam continues to play with low strike rate then he will be out of the team whether he makes centuries or not.
 
He is right....


Imam played a selfish innings.. and it didn't help the team qualify, was more of a personal milestone against a minnow team...

infact the whole team's mindset was not to take any chance for qualifying but rather to win this pointless match. Sarfraz is to be blamed for that..


He killed whatso ever chance we had of getting to a total where we could have slighest of chance of beating the NRR scenario.


Pathetic that some posters would take this useless win and support these players despite their pathetic performance overall..
