[VIDEOS] Hasan Nawaz: The emerging power-hitting sensation in International Cricket

Mamoon said:
Joke of a batsman.

That century was as big a fluke as Akhtar scoring 43 in 16 balls vs England in the 2003 World Cup.

He is one of the worst batsman to have played for Pakistan and will never be half the batsman Babar and Rizwan are in any format.

Been long trend in Pak is to select players who can never be a threat to the captains place.. Look inferior in skill compared to captain

Misbah did the same ,then Sarfaraz and then Babar continued and now Salman...
 
A very poor start to his career, 3 ducks, 1 score of 1 and 1 century which came out of the blue. You can't score a century or 50 in every game but at least you should score 30-40 quick runs. Getting out on zero 3 times in a series is pathetic

Afridi was daylight better than this hack, even world class bowlers like Kumble Murali etc feared Afridi at some stage

That's the myth the old Pakistani cricketers keep feeding the next generation.
Afridi was a walking wicket against India. worked only in 1 out of 10 innings and the simple Pakistani public just lapped it up forever. Nawaz has delivered for you 1 in 5 games, He is TWICE the batsman Afridi ever was.

Give him a first 3 games vs BD he deserves a go in familiar conditions but there should be a reserve bat behind him most likely some one who has a good PSL at top slot

if he has a good PSL , yes if not just throw him into domestics..

These days any TDH can make the intl team..

After first 5 T20Is

Hassan Nawaz: Avg 21 Sr 195

Finn Allen: Avg 23 Sr 201
Click to expand...
Fin allen scores every match a quickfire 30-40... Nawaz avg is boosted to 21 because of 1x 105 n.o.. Highlight Fin allen contribution got them to win 4 matches and Nawaz just 1...

Thats what got this system to be so rot... Look at the comparison,, Fans / board and nation are completely delusional comes out with such comparisons is the path to destrcutions and soon cricket will dead in this country and may Pakistan relegated from playing intl cricket..

They will soon play qualifiers , it was Mickey who saved them last time with a fluke CT2017 win or otherwise downhill from their Pak wouldnt be a team at all playing LOI cricket now... in the last 25 years they qualified for knockouts just only twice 2011 and 2015 CWC , rest all first round exit... Also take how many CT you want in the same period of time or even beyond , only thing that i can rmb was 2009 CT where they beat India and qualified for semis under MYK captaincy apart from the CT2017 victory..

Pak are not even a minnow level in the last 5 years or so ...

When fans are this delusional , Pak cricket will go further deeper into the mud...

the only batter who can plays his shots and can be compared to an extent say for a level of Liam Livingstone was Salman the captain only...

Remaining are simply duds with the bat.. This side of adapting modern day cricket is like a kid want to drive fast without driving license... zero skill level 100% adoptation of modern day game, idk wat to call seriously brainless, clown is an apt word for the coach and the team itself...
 
Is he worth persisting with in the hope he comes good like Saim Ayub? Although I am not a fan of the PSL, it will be useful to see if Nawaz learns or just a hack who got a fluke 100 at a small ground.
 
Averaging 26.50 at a Strike Rate of 185.96.

Surely deserves another series. Primarily a home series.

Saim ayub talent wise is on another planet.
 
i think sahbizada should be tried as a keeper he cant do worse than haris nor so called usman khan and that way we will get two players in one but i am sure he will also struggle internationally as he did previously but atleast he is keeping

Finn Allen is consistently doing well after 4 years in international cricket. Still he only avgs 25 meaning he fails a lot. If they had fickle and ignorant 'fans' like we do in Pakistan who ask for 'proper batsman' in T20s, Finn Allen would have been discarder after first series.

Finn Allen's first 5 matches came at home ground whereas Nawaz had to bat in alien conditions. Yet 'fans' like you are calling for his head.

Rest of your post in unrelated rant.

I still cant stop laughing at ur comparison... roflmao no body plays shots like that and get out comes out with 3 ducks , 1 and a 100 in 5 match T20Is series...

Keep laughing. You are exposing your lack of understanding. I expected Hassan to struggle in alien conditions, yet he came up with the fastest century which you are using as some kind of negative. :afridi

Some more stats for you two to cope with:

After first 5 T20Is:

Hassan Nawaz : Avg 26.5 Sr 185 (All away games)

Tim Seifert: Avg 10 Sr 142

Fakhar Zaman: Avg 16.4 Sr 115

Phil Salt: Avg 15.6 Sr 100

Abhishek Sharma: Avg 28 Sr 179 (All games against Zim and Ban)
​

Now its possible that Hassan may not be as successful as others mentioned here but it is foolish to go after a batsman who made his debut in foreign conditions and tried to play high risk cricket. You want R Sharma and Finn Allen to drop from the sky ? These kind of players need a lot of backing and support.

Oh no! 😂😂😂

But aren’t they supposed to be instant success

There has rarely been a batsman who scored consistently at the start of his career while playing at 150+ Sr.

Our 'fans' deserve Babar and Rizwan as openers.

Yup! I wrote the previous message sarcastically.
Some other threads converging here:
@Bhaijaan @sweep_shot

There’s this expectation that a a player will be an instant success, which is rarely true, specially in a high risk role like this one.

Hasan should be given time. I think the issue is so young that he doesn’t even have domestic success. A good PSL too will add to his cause.

Haris it’s not a small amount of international games now it’s 20. However we have ruined his development. Dropping, repicking him, shuffling his position. Really poor way of giving a guy chances. We’ve done the same to Usman too.

I think the problem is in terms of openers as alternatives to Rizwan/Babar we’ve gone around too much. Abdullah, Haris, nawaz, Saim, usman, hasebullah, fakhar, shahibdaza, Omair etc We’ve tried to blood them in all the same time. Saim ironically is the only one given a solid interrupted run. Just because Saim is more talented doesn’t mean the others once they’re actually given the opportunity don’t deserve the best opportunities to solidify their place like Saim.

Fakhar should have been retested as opener t20s first. Then Haris should have got a long run as we picked him first. Then I would have moved onto Saim. Then probably Usman based on PSL. Instead we just keep going back to batsmen that we didn’t properly try out because we haven’t conclusively worked out whether they’re good enough yet or need to be sent back to domestic. We need to blood in players one or two at a time. Not five at a time over a few series.

We have hardly tried anyone in place of Babar and Rizwan as openers. Only Saim got proper run (even he used to bat at 3-4 when rizbab were there) and he delivered.

Sahibzada and Haseebullah were tried in T20s but none of them are cut for this format. They were used as a fillers so that Rizbab can return.

I was actually against the selection of Hassan Nawaz in NZ as he is weak on backfoot (Nasir Nawaz, Zeeshan Malik and this new Jahanzaib guy are far better than Hassan on backfoot) but now that Hassan is selected, he should be given a fair run.

Nawaz is 2x the batsmen afridi is cause he kicked off in 1 of 5 games so far while afridi is a joke cause he kicked off 1 in 10 games 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.

News flash, he played 398 games for pakistan where he played 369 innings. From this list he has 6 odi centuries and 39 half centuries. Add them to together that makes 45 and if you divide this number from 369 they gives 8.2

So one in every 8 innings. And this metric is skewed since it doesn't consider the matches he won where granted he didnt score a 50 but he did play a match winning innings such as Asia cup 2014 making the number much much lower.

I agree he's a tulle baz batsmen and widely inconsistent but the fact you're comparing a guy with a sample size of 5 games and claiming he's 2x > Afridi 🤣🤣 is not only hilarious but it's also factually incorrect.

Where are you getting this 1 in 10 number from? Even in t20 cricket you'd be factually incorrect if you applied a bit of math to averages and no of games 😭😭😭😭😭.

Very low level player, even by Pakistan standard, not seeing any future as international player , hope he improves a lot in coming years and proves me wrong .
 
3 ducks in first 5 games is something you cannot ignore. no matter if you making a debut of whatever but 3 ducks??? really???

that 100 is either gonna cost Pakistan big time because we live based on such hypes or hasan might find his feet for some quickfire 30-40s once in a while that's it... Tullas usually don't work in longer terms.
 
I’m willing to give him a chance - he showed a good range of strokes and good improvisation. He got some cracking deliveries too.

NZ is Not the easiest place to debut and open.

For all the “tullebaaz” comments - they would hold weight if we’re discussing test matches, tullebaaz have a place in T20.

He would not have that long career if he was just a batsman. He was an okay bowler too who would ball 10 overs in an ODI .

Firstly I'm not a Hasan Nawaz hater so not sure why you keep tagging me in such discussions. For me Hasan Nawaz at the moment does not have the correct defensive technique to survive international cricket. Even if he gets success with this technique it's not going to yield long term success as such techniques are often found out and most importantly doesn't come off in international tournaments. All I want is this guy to resolve his technical issues and then keep on piling runs for fun, I won't mind that.

Btw, the stat you tagged me in for is pretty useless so not sure how you want me to respond to that. A player's career is not defined in selected matches but over the career of player itself. Attapattu has back to back ducks on debut whilst Yasir Hameed had back to back centuries on debut. Does that mean Hameed was a better test player than Attapattu?

But you also mention Abdus samad, Shadab and Azam Khan. They have zero technique for defense as well, and no pertinence in First class.
Your arguments are simply inconsistent.
 
I hope he works on his batting now because his Tulla show is not gonna work most of the time.

Tulla does not work if you cannot even touch the ball. You gotta bat with open eyes.
 
He has the attitude and all the shots and if persisted he can develop in to a fine player.

If you remember Haroon Arshad the parchi U19 batter was also a sitting duck against anything above 120k even with no swing or bounce but in just one year he has developed in to very fine batter and he is probably the most improved domestic batter this season , In a same way Hasan can learn to play high pace and bounce with time.

I'll take him over babar and Rizwan in ODI middle order. He has the jigar and can launch the spinners out of the park
