50 wickets in the first 24 games and just 33 more in the next 30 games. It is a cause of concern and he's bowled poorly once again today

I said it before and I’ll say it again, Hassan Ali isn’t our new ball bowler, he’s our best old ball bowler in LOI, sadly Pakistan’s pace bowling factory has closed and now we’re watching bowlers bowl in situations that aren’t suited to them.

Yes its a concern but considering the his overall recent form in tests post injury gives hope that he should soon be able to find his control in ODIs.
Also not to forget bowling with the new ball isn’t something he has done much at international level so controlling the early movement and getting the lengths right is still a work in progress. Not many better options available as well with the new ball so Hassan will have to develop in the role to give team some options.
I think after today we won't see Hasan Ali take the new ball again, but I don't see Rauf or Hasnain being an improvement.
It's a shame Imad isn't in the squad, he is probably one of the best new ball options we have.
This is just pure incompetency of Waqar the bowling coach. If us fans can see that Hassan's strength lies with old ball, why can't waqar see that?
I recall, Umar Gul being a destructive old ball bowler. However during Waqar's coaching I remember that Umar Gul kept bowling with new ball and getting hammered. When is Waqar going to wake up?

In one day cricket Hasnain is miles ahead of the rest. He has the pace and stamina as well as the right line and length for 50 overs.
I would include him over Haris or even Faheem. Even Qadir for Faheem could be wise choice.
Hopefully safraz will bat at 5 instead of Saud shakeel.

He hasn’t been the same after Rohit and Dhawan humiliated him in the Asia Cup. That was embarrassing.
He did his stupid celebration at the border which was very disrespectful and then he claimed that he would try to take all 10 wickets vs India.
However, he got a brutal reality-check when he got smashed and was treated like a club bowler.
Indian fans were trolling him when he was fielding on the boundary which added insult to injury.
Hassan Ali's 5-51 are the best figures by a Pakistani bowler in a ODI against England at Lord's
Best figures by Pakistani bowlers in ODIs at Lord's:
6/35 Shaheen Afridi v Bangladesh in 2019
5/51 Hassan Ali v England today
4/28 Shoaib Akhtar v England in 2006
4/32 Umar Gul v England in 2010

He is so unlikable.
Bad attitude, celebrates wickets of every Tom, Dick and Harry as if he has performed a miracle. That stupid generator celebration is so cringe-worthy.
Acts like a bully against domestic players but turned into a kitten against the Indian batsmen in the Asia Cup and the World Cup.
Unfortunately, we have hit the bottom of the barrel so he is an automatic choice at this point.

Ironic your like for Archer but hate for Hassan for a similar thing. And before you say ‘Archer is the only player to be fast tracked etc’, Hassan has outperformed him over a more consistent period of time.
And his attitude is way better than Archers who is the most entitled moody brat.
We can talk about geology and you will still somehow divert the topic to Archer. It appears that Archer winning the World Cup for England has had a deep psychological impact on you.
His over the top celebrations make him look stupid when his team are getting humiliated.
Yes … he shouldn’t celebrate his wickets because he knows his team mates will collapse like idiots later in the match.. amazing logic.
Shoaib Akhtar has gone one step ahead and said Hassan Ali should be captain
"I would have played him [Babar Azam] as a batsman. If I had to select a captain from this team, it would have been Hasan Ali as he has the spark and intelligence. My approach is completely different, I would have made Babar a great batsman and put pressure on him to play a certain type of innings so that the entire Pakistan team plays around him,”

 He's funny to listen to but that's about allHe is playing international cricket, representing his country. Like any international cricketer he should be keeping his full intensity in every match.
Scorecard reads Pak vs Eng. There is no ABC involved and thats how its gonna be in the records book as well.
Bro why do you become so defensive whenever someone criticises anything related to Pakistan cricket?
Are you the PCB spokesperson or something?
He bowled really well, good for him! Need him to bowl like that again if we are to have a chance at beating England in the last ODI here.
He had a horrible 2019 averaging 90 at an economy rate of 6.60 in 12 matches. At the time I criticized him as well because we needed him to step up for the World Cup, but apart from that one horrendous year he's been very good. If you exclude 2019 he averages 23.7 in ODI's with 81 wickets in 44 matches.
