[VIDEOS] "I try to hit 100 to 150 sixes in practice so I'm ready to hit sixes in the match": Asif Ali

They clearly do in the case of ASIF ALI

He was a game changer for India in that he was in the playing 11 and not Waseem which is probably why India won the match!

Waseem has already shown more prowess with the bat in one (warm) match than all the games Asif has played since landing in the Oceania Continent.
 
Can't wait for Asif to smash a couple of sixes against the mighty pace of Luke Jongwe and we will be treated to the statements of "Asif Ali returns to form", just like Haider "returned to form" by smashing Sodhi.

Just like Rizwan’s fans are waiting for him to score a Lumber 1 Tontee Tontee innings of 55 off 45 against Zimbabwe and Netherlands
 
Asif Ali should be dropped from the playing 11, his form is poor and he clearly struggles against short balls / swing / spin - well against all bowling unless its in the slot at regular pace.

Hasnain should replace him

It is Babar’s fault

He only knows what’s best for him and his mate Rizwan. Everyone else are interchanged in their positions as if it’s a game of musical chairs. One day Nawaz is at 4, the next day he is at 7.

If your picking a guy for his 6 hitting abilities, why not see what he is all about when the fielders are inside the circle for 36 balls? Give him a chance…that’s all!

I understand where you are coming from. You would love to see him play like Finn Allen for example. The thought seems rich. But in reality does Asif have the talent is the question. He seems to only slog of the ball is pitched up in his slot. Not capable of playing the short ball or yorker. Don't see him making mucg of an impact even at the top.Power hitting is a talent and Asif judt doesn't have it.
 
Sadly at the moment he could in theory come in at number 11 and very few people would raise concerns about this decision.

How can a team carry a player in the hope that he will hit a six or two once every 10 matches.

And an even more sad situation is, that in the current scheme of things, he is the only one we have who has shown the ability of hitting a 6 once in every 10 games.

We don't have anyone on the bench, who can do even that.

Again, the problem is. we don't have the actual practice, routine and drills for power hitting. They do not exist in our coaching system.

What do we do?
We simply get one of the cheap side arm ball throwing hand held tool, and send halwa throw downs in the nets for batters to hit sixes.

So, now we have Asif who says he hits 150 sixes in the nets every day.
well ...... Of course he does!!
But on what? Throw down balls pitched in his hitting zone.

But in the actual game, no one gives him balls pitched in his zone (except for may be once in every 10 games). The bowlers bowl him Yorkers, slow bouncers, off the crease wide and other deceptive deliveries - so he acts like a deer caught in the headlights. And rightly so, because he has no idea, and no practice, no ability and no developed skill to dispatch such deliveries.


T20 power hitting requires an altogether different kind of strength building and power power building drills, developing muscle flexibility, and sharpening of the hand eye coordination - so that, when you get balls pitched out of your comfort zone, you jump on them and dispatch 'em out of the park.

I already posted a video before but here it is again.

Please forward it to Asif Ali and ask him to look what's required from a power hitting batter as far as the practice goes - hitting 150 sixes on throw downs and halwa balls alone, won't cut it for him.

He might need someone to translate it for him very slowly so he understands what's going on - otherwise he will lose interest in watching it - simply because he won't know what the coach Julian Wood is explaining here.

Very true . watching live he is easily the worst fielder in this camp. haider ali possibly the 2n worst...i was at the boundary when Babar had to waive about 8 time to Haider to move his position , it looked he was still lost in the shot he played..Babar was very frustrated that a fielder is not even looking at the captain.

He cant even play 130K short balls on big boundaries ...zero technique...

couldnt agree more but his supporters are mostly tape ball players who have no knowledge of Asif's techincal flaws...

Asif is a walking wicket, the fact that allrounders are send ahead of him is the prime example of that
 
Why Finn Allen. Just watch Dewal Brevis. 5 sixes in CPL. One of the cleanest striker that will dominate for years to come. Baby AB.
 
Asif Ali seems to be having a few issues against pace - today in the nets

And what was the point of taking him to the World Cup?

1 match and 2 runs

They just needed numbers to keep Sharjeel Khan out the team.

Khushdil Shah
Asif Ali
Haider Ali
Usman Qadir

4 players that were lucky to get on the plane to Australia.
 
Should never ever ever never ever represent Pakistan ever again. I don’t care how many sixes you hit in your back garden Asif. We don’t need you.
 
Hes a one dimensional player and totally ill equipped to be playing intl cricket

He shouldnt be playing for pakistan again
 
What a horrendous player this guy Asif is. Played 50+ T20s for Pakistan and not a single 50+ score. He should never play for Pakistan again.
 
if Hassan Ali was given 50 matches in T20 purely as a batsmen he would have better stats than Asif Ali.
 
Form seems to have deserted Asif Ali. No luck in the BBL either
 
Horror show so far at this year's BBL:

Innings 8
Runs 79 (of which 41 came in 1 innings)
Average 9.87
 
He’s been horrific for a while now.

There’s only one other option that Pakistan can try with him & that’s sending him as an opener.
 
Asif Ali at BBL 12 (season done for Hobart Hurricanes as ended up 6th)

bYkfC8t.png
 
Average of 9 is what he has to show for his power hitting. Classic example of a douche.
 
He is earning good money, at least. Good for him.
 
Iftikhar is better than him and has better record in Aus. BBL franchises should have got him.
 
Hes a tail ender with no bowling most teams are realizing this more he plays
 
Most sixes in PSL history

89 – Kamran Akmal

81 – Shane Watson

79 – Asif Ali

73 – Fakhar Zaman

72 – Sharjeel Khan
 
Needs to get his act together

Total chawwal Big bash performance
 
The fraudster is done for. We dont people like him and Khusdhil in the team. Only Ifti Mania.

Wow this is absolutely pathetic.

Essentially 79 (59) whilst getting out 8 times in the process. No strike rate, no average, no ability, no nothing.

It shows how bare the cupboard is that batsmen like these are on the fringes of national selection.
 
This guy is absolutely pathetic. The fact that he played over 50 T20s games for Pakistan shows the lack of talent in Pakistan.
 
It was a shock to me that he was picked for the BBL. The end result is not that surprising.
 
He will be back again. Cons like him and Azam are very hard to get rid of

BBL does not attract the cream of international players, hence it wont surprise me if Asif is picked again.

CPL, BPL, T10 etc are godsends for such players.

Years ago they'd be nowhere to be seen.

Pretty sure for Australian conditions there are better players in Australian domestics than Asif. Surprised that they picked him.
 
He should never have played in the BBL them grounds are massive instead he should have played in familiar conditions in the IL20 in Dubai.

Asif will be back mark my words he is good friends with Barber.
 
Asif Ali in an interview:

"I am a human, not a machine that I will hit a hundred and fifty sixes in a day. My interview about practising 150 sixes a day was misinterpreted. I was practising sixes in a round of forty. How can I hit 150 sixes? A player can hit a maximum of fifteen to twenty shots. I try to bat according to my aggressive style."
 
Asif Ali - enigma or just a chance player? Doing well at this point vs Zalmi but the match has no pressure at the moment.
 
Looked in good form which is great news for Islamabad but can he carry on like that in PSL 8?

not sure what he has done but he needed to change his bat willow and profile to suit his batting style.
 
He’s not technically good enough to play long innings but he does have hitting ability what he needs to do is combine his power hitting whilst taking singles and try to play 20 plus balls every time he bats.
 
Seems to be one of those players who just cant cut it at the higher level

He can certainly hit but not against world class bowlers or in high pressure intnl games

This is his ceiling And pakistan is out of reach for him
 
Came in today at 112/3 with 45 needed of 59 balls - easy for him that.

Could he have led his team to a win with the score at 112/5 with 85 needed off 59 balls - I highly doubt it.

Apparently he is an impact player and expected to perform once in 3-4 games. He is exactly the type of player we need Babar and Rizwan to counter.

Haider is a nothing batsman at the moment He needs to take time out and have a good long think about how he goes about his business out on the pitch because he seems totally clueless and devoid of batting technique or strategy

But he doesnt perform once in 3-4 games Hes clueless at the highest level as his performances have shown Avging in his teens

I have more faith that the likes of hasnain, rauf and naseem can finish an innings off better than asif ali has for pakistan

Pakistan can do without his 8 off 5 balls to be honest
 
Effortless sixes from him today, he's a strange one, last few times when playing for Pak looks as if he hadn't lifted a bat in his life. Will need to assess him for the rest of PSL to make a judgment.

But it's the impact of those 8 runs.

How many times have 8 runs won a match or altered the course of a match?

Very few times.

No thanks regarding 8 run innings.

Ok its fine that you don't want Rizwan and Babar in T20, and understandably so, as Rizwan isn't a T20 player, but it makes no sense to believe Asif Ali is good enough for International also also makes no sense to believe. was a key player for 2021 T20WC, when it was Rizwan and Babar. Only differential impact he made in 2021 T20WC was Afghanistan, but Pakistan was already pretty much qualified by then.

Remember, Didn't this mighty Asif Ali get a golden Duck in the semi final?

There were 2 balls to face

So what he got a golden?
 
The scammer has confirmed his spot for the remainder of the season.

Biggest fraud ever alongside Azam Khan.
 
Bilal Ahmad15 said:
https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...akistan-2nd-semi-final-1273755/full-scorecard

He got out golden duck which means 0(1)

He didn't come to the crease when there was two balls of innings left, he came around 18th or 17th over I think, so thats enough time for him to "do his thing" which he didn't, as expected.
Click to expand...

Ok. So he should be crucified for not getting a few sixes in that game? It’s not like anyone here had a problem with his 0(1) that day. He was the reason we played that semi and nobody was annoyed with him not being able to contribute. I’m sure he would have loved to have hit every ball he could have faced for a six that day.

He only won one match against Afghanistan, but by then Pakistan was pretty much through to semis.

But anyways ,moving on from 2021 T20WC, Asif Ali literally has the same performance (runs scored in each match, average, strike rate etc. ) as a tail ender, and Im not even trying to be sarcastic or harsh. Tail enders also make a match winning batting contribution once every two to three years. I cant believe so many people support this guy and think he is an elite match winner from one innings!
 
Since 2019 he avges 11 for pakistan in 30 odd innings

For a specialist bat thats a filthy rotten return

So what?

You know he comes at like number 7?

He averages 17 at 154 SR which totally world class at that batting position. Let me know if you mange find any batsman who is better than him at that position.
 
Must be a staging 70 odd in this PSL. He’s only got out once

Yes another example vs LQ. Unable to handle the pressure.

Needs to be kept away from the Pakistan side - not needed.

World class? You need to look up the definition my friend

Asif ali is more a tailender than world class His stats are pathetic for a batter
