[VIDEOS] Fawad Alam admirers : Is this what you like about him?

[RumiNYC]

Sorry but i hate to say that is Alam is awful, he isn't gonna make a cut for Bangladesh A Team.

 

[MRSN]

Fawad needs to be dropped like Umar Akmal was, he needs to be a taught a lesson so next time he values his place in team as well as his wicket when batting !!!

+1

enough is enough

on what basis he is being selected again and again ?

As far as I remember he was selected because he scored some runs in 2007 QA trophy but after that he was totally crap even in Domestic Cricket,how on earth can you select a guy in 2010 based on his performance in 2007 QA trophy.that is pathetic to say the least.
Then why we have domestic cricket?for what?
if we keep selecting crap players then we are bound to have collapses against better teams.
Bring in Shehzad,Hammad Azam,Shahryar Ghani type of players who are scoring thousands of runs in QA trophy because its their right.

 

[mhraja]

Today his footwork was brilliant .. he showed the class ... brilliant batsman .. thumbs up to him.

 

[Warfare]

I will take sir Ravindra Jadeja over Alam anyday

You can keep Jadeja, no problem. Just hope that he doesn't lose another 3 world cups for you.

How stupid can one get?

He scored in Austrailia Odis, England, and now Dubai. I know 15 year old fans want to see 6s and centuries every match but you wont get that from even Tendulkar.

So stop moaning because he has been a very good scorer in 3 series consecutively.

) just keep going ,Sir M Hafeez and Kamran akmal,Umer Akmal and Shahid Afridi have been our top scorer in ODIs and T20s this year.Dont know from where are you bringing all this crap.And for your records,Fawad doesn't play test matches coz no one gives a damn about him other than Afridi.

Learn to read. I didn't say he was our top scorer, I said he a very good scorer in 3 consecutive series.

And only in Pakistan do you drop someone from tests after they make 168 on debut.

 

[Warfare]

Sorry but i hate to say that is Alam is awful, he isn't gonna make a cut for Bangladesh A Team.

I agree. When you have guys like Ashraful, who needs Fawad?

he scored that century three years ago,its nearly 2011 now.

but is been with the team after that century,deserves to be dropped as 100 of other talented cricketers are waiting for their turn.

Lol Alam would easily walk in to your test team, it's funny how BD defeated a weak NZ side at home and now their fans think that they are austrila or something

No, he would shuffle and hop his way in.

 

[cricketkhan88]

Once again the fawad haters have woken up. i dunno where they go in hibernation when he scored runs in 2nd and 3rd odis..............

 

[Tapori]

Shock* Horror*

Young Player with a decent strike rate + 40 odd average goes through a few rough patches.

 

[Osman]

he is ok....isnt a saviour but isnt as horrific as some people are making him out to be.....half centuries n good 40s are followed by a few single digit scores and then back to decent scores and the cycle continues....needs to be more consistent. Deserves his place in the squad though unlike some

 

[AZ]

lol, how did he get out?

when he strode in, I thought might as well go buy some water, this is going to be a boring few overs...came back and he was back in the hut!

 

[pakcricketfan]

He has been playing continuously and failed most of the times and I you know every day is not sunday

I think most people would love to have a player "who has failed most of the times" yet managed to be among the top 3 scorers of the team this year.

Go and get your facts right before blabbing here.
I didn't want to talk about domestic cricket at all because Fawad has already dominated there by a mile, but now that you have brought it into the argument, check out his domestic stats from 2005/06 to 2009/10. Averaged:

49.11 in 2006/07
55.27 in 2007/08
97.7 in 2008/09
83.6 in 2009/10

(Yes, I know you will come up with some more crap. But the fact of the matter is that you have been pwned. You should have done a bit of research before saying that he was crap even in domestic circuit post 2007.)

Then why we have domestic cricket?for what?

Bring in Shehzad,Hammad Azam,Shahryar Ghani type of players who are scoring thousands of runs in QA trophy because its their right.

Ahmed Shehzad's season-by-season averages:
34.8 in 2006/07
20.4 in 2007/08
51.9 in 2008/09
13.25 in 2009/10
165.0 in 2010/11 9so far)

Shehryar Ghani's season-by-season averages:
122.0 in 2007/08 (played 1 match and scored 122)
54.66 in 2008/09
33.07 in 2009/10
19.33 in 2010/11 (so far)

Although Hammad is fairly new in the cricket scene, here's his record too:
20.85 in 2008/09 (4 matches)
11.0 in 2009/10 (2 matches)
61.0 in 2010/11 (1 match so far. And he's not likely to play more because he has a shoulder injury)

Go and check out the official domestic rankings on PCB's website and then come up with better names.

You've been pwned again. But I know you will come back for some more.

 

[rhussain33]

This is what Im in love with... as quoted in the other thread as to weather Fawad should get dropped..

So in his last 13 ODIS...
He manages Seven 50 partnerships going into the 60' and 80s.
And the other Six going into the 30's and 40's.

Time For Fawad to get Dropped.... ???

Lets have a look at the Partnerships of his in his last 3 tours of UAE, Eng and Australia...


Dubai
33 - Fawad & Wahab
28 - Fawad & Zulqarnain
27 - Fawad & Razzaq

Abu Dhabi
81 - Fawad & Razzaq
66 - Fawad & Afridi

Chester Le Street
41 - Fawad & Kamran
35 - Fawad & Umar Akmal

Oval
64 - Fawad & Asad
26 - Fawad & Umar
60 - Fawad & Afridi

Lords
43- Fawad & Hafeez

Perth
60 - Fawad & Umar Akmal
82 - Fawad & Umar Akmal

Adelade
85 - Fawad & Umar Akmal


Lets not forget his 200 Partnership with Younis Khan in the test match in Colombo 2009.

Younis in the 4th ODI stated that its all about staying at the wicket and getting big partnerships, that will easily win you games in chasing or setting scores. Fawad provides that in the middle along with Umar Akmal and others who want to stay at the wicket.

So no.... its not time to drop him but to persist with him !!

 

[IM NOT YOU]

lol, how did he get out?

are you talking about younus or yousuf?

..useless stats...even Misbah averaged 50 in domestic cricket.,,these guys are nothing but domestic bullies.

That post was not meant for you.
Just go and read why I posted those stats in the first place.
I did that only in response to M Nadeem's baseless claim that fawad was crap even in domestic cricket post 2007 and that Ahmed Shehzad, Hammad and Shehryar have been scoring heaps of runs..

 

[IM NOT YOU]

Fawad...

oh because ... from your description... it seemed like you were describing younus / yousuf.


hahah.

 

[AZ]

why would I ask about the other two in a Fawad thread?

 

[IM NOT YOU]

why would I ask about the other two in a Fawad thread?

its called sarcasm dude lol...

i think you get the point that i was making - that expecting a boring slow start to an innings 'going to get some water and coming back ' to find out that somebody is out can apply to yousuf/younus quite easily.


i think you should stop being so hard on fadi and having double standards when it comes to the oldies who arent doing jack all.

 

[MRSN]

had enough of those stats,I cant go on cricinfo and search all of his stats ,a player who is already crap.BYE BYE Fawad Sahib
If you go on these stats then what wrong Asim Kamal did to get dropped?the guys nearly averages 40 in Test cricket.

I would love to see someone else take his place .

I like Fawad, and I think he should be a member of our Test and ODI team for years to come. He hasn't had a great series just now, but he certainly hasn't done badly enough to be dropped. His domestic stats have warranted selection for some time now, especially in tests.

Oh but obviously you wouldn't know anything about his domestic stats would you......

PWNED: A corruption of the word "Owned." This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled "owned." When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so "has been owned." Instead, it said, so-and-so "has been pwned." It basically means "to own" or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.

To be fair, THAT should actually be called "self-pwnage"..
Don't know why he brought in domestic cricket and tried to use it against Fawad.

 

[Serendipity]

Fawad is more suited to Tests.

 

[Eht]

Every time I see him bat, I laugh and cry at the same time.
Good batsman look good when they bat and Fawad doesn't.
I struggle to remember one cricketing shot which he plays with conviction.

Some how he manages to score enough runs to get selected in a batting line up where most of them are playing to save their positions almost everytime they bat, so every time a yougster fails to score, alot can be said in his favour or against.

Its just the bad luck of Pakistan that you can not say this about anyone of Pak young batsman that "He is one for the future'. With a BANG, they come in the team and with a KICK in the back side, they are thrown out.

Fawad needs to do some serious serious work on his technique.

 

[MRSN]

One day I might smash my head in the wall watching him bat.awful player

 

[Shayan]

One day I might smash my head in the wall watching him bat.awful player

I agree he doesn't look great when he bats, but that shouldn't affect our judgement of him. A player can look as ugly as he wants as long as he can score runs (e.g. Chanderpaul).

I just think Fawad's getting some undeserved criticism. He has not done that badly, he's scored some useful half centuries, and his game seems to be well suited to ODI and Test cricket. Lets remember that his current ODI average is 37, and his test average is 41. That's not a bad start to a career.

Very well said, man!Sometimes I laugh too, because he doesn't have a single boundary shot.

 

[Shayan]

he doesn't have a single boundary shot.

Very unwise statement, just asking to be pwned.

He scored 48 with a strike rate of 70 in the 2nd ODI, and 59 at a strike rate of 88 in the 3rd. Both innings included boundaries.

Like I said, he hasn't set the world alight, but I don't think he deserves some of the criticism he's getting.

You've been pwned again. But I know you will come back for some more.

But he was dropped from Test squad after his poor show and faulty technique ,he is never been selected for test matches again according to selectors he is not suitable to test cricket so your stats goes in Vain.

but Instead he is been selected to play ODIs and T20s ?what a pathetic selection.

he has played 23 T20s
What has he done in his whole T20 career?any match winning knock that you remember?if there is any

Is there anyone in this whole milky way who will include him in his T20 side?

No, I would not include him in the T20 side, I don't think anyone here is pushing for his inclusion in that format. You've taken this argument towards T20s now because you realise you've been destroyed. He's being selected for T20s because our board/selectors aren't very smart.

Poor show in test cricket? He's played 3 matches, and in one of those he scored 168 opening the batting.

I see that you are posting this on every thread related to Fadi
Btw, check out the QEA Trophy thread. We already have scorecards there.

 

[Warfare]

What team is Fawad playing for in the QA trophy?

 

[AZ]

National Bank, same team as mmad :kami

I'm surprised he even gets a game there

What a joke!

Fawad Alam has always been a key player for NBP.
He has outperformed all your janasheens time and again.

 

[AZ]

yes he would, since they are usually playing international cricket, while he is facing Daboo Mastana in Sargodha Stadium.

 

[FastBowler]

An awful shot played today. Can't bowl, now he can't bat, for the past few matches he has done nothing, and it doesn't look like he has any talent that he could do any better. The worst shot a batsman could play, that shot was awful in itself and to play it in that situation.

 

[AZ]

I guess the gym work during the Eid vacation didn't work after all.

 

[kkmix]

Are there anymore threads about Fawad Alam that you prolly want to bump up? seriously guys, save some energy and time of yours.

he always finds a way to invent a worst shot played by a cricketer in the history

cant bat
cant bowl
cant field at boundary

what a player

 

[chui_kadoo]

While the retard Mohsin Khan is in charge Fawad Alam will play every T20 game in the forseeable future and Fawad will not dissapoint. He will continue to make a fool of himself in this format.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Mark my words I can hit bigger then Fawad Alam

 

[The_Real_Deal]

Mark my words I can hit bigger then Fawad Alam

you know what i honestly do believe you. even if you were 2'2 tall i'd still believe you

 

[chui_kadoo]

you know what i honestly do believe you. even if you were 2'2 tall i'd still believe you

Im actually 6 feet 1 so I guess its not hard for me to hit bigger than him. LOL

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

I was really disappointed in the shot he played.. Didnt need that shot especially in a situation of a collapse. Should have taken some responsibility.

I guess the gym work during the Eid vacation didn't work after all.

He's stupid. No offense, i'm not his hater, i'm not his fan either. He's obviously seen katich or chanderpaul and tried to copy their technique but i worked out that his head is never still when the bowler is releasing the ball which means he is very late on picking up the line & length of the ball!

He has to make sure that he makes his movements before the ball is released, if he is going to copy another players technique then follow their timing too, when his head is all over the place, it becomes very hard for him to actually play the stroke as it's no where near the line of the ball. This is also a worry for some people who want him in the test team because he'll lose his off-stump with his head positioning and late movements.

Alam shouldnt be anywhere near T20s, dont get me wrong i really really like the guy but he just seems to put so much effort in but the ball doesnt go anywhere.

I think he should be in the team for ODIs batting at 4 or 5 as he's solid and stable.

Should also be in the test team in place of Misbah but Misbah has done well recenty so it would be unfair to drop him, he might burn all his kit.

sensible post, I agree, I don't know why was he picked for T20 in the first place when he was dropped for RSA T20s. They are ruining him by playing him in T20. He is best suited for ODI and Test, But I don't know why they can't pick him in tests.

Fawad Alam should not be in 20/20.... I think he is a good player but not in 20/20...... He is more of a test match player and possibly an ODI player but he will have to bat up the order in ODI's, not at 6 where you usually need a player who can rotate strike aswell as play the big shots.......

 

[Decipher]

He needs to learn how to play with a freaking straight bat.

 

[Markhor]

Please someone answer me this.

Why is he persisted in T20s and not Tests when he clearly is a player who bats best when he has time at the crease to build in innings,and is someone who scored 168 on debut in,you guessed it,a TEST match ?

 

[Ali Raja]

Alam is not a test player either, because he doesnt know where his offstump is. he can only be partly successful in odis

 

[PlanetPakistan]

I suggest we drop him from all forms of the game, there are lots of better players in Pakistan

Let my answer your question with a question.

Why is Ijaz Butt Chairman of the PCB?
Are the rumors at the school backyard correct that Alam is a Sifarshi?

The selection of Fawad in t20's is very strange. I do think he should be given an extended run in the test and odi team (not batting low down the order) as imo he is better suited to the longer formats of the game.

Playing him in t20 when he can't clear the boundaries or take the attack to the opposition is pointless, I think he requires time at the crease when he can build an innings and in t20 cricket you just do not have that time.
