[VIDEOS/PICTURES] Talent Spotter: Haider Ali

Good performance and his confidence should increase. He could play at number 5 for Pakistan, perhaps.
 
This innings may come back to haunt him.

With the top order of Babar, Rizwan and Hafeez set and Fakhar seemingly back in form, it may be that Haider is pushed down to 5/6. While he would be better there than the likes of Khushdil/ Asif/ Azam Khan, he is too good a player to be down at number 6.

Defonitely he should be batting in the top 4 in t20s and odis but it gives him and Pakistan another option
 
He has solid temperament and great character.
Not one of those to buckle under pressure and it showed today.
Just needs to bat long periods and figure out his game.
There is so much talent there that he cant really establish what kind of a batsman he is.

But hes a leg side hack he can't play on the inside
 
Match winning knock.fans need to be patient he will come good and needs to be backed 100 percent
 
91 off 57 in KPL today taking his side to its first win in the tournament.

There has never been a doubt that he has a lot of natural potential but, needs to play according to the requirements and needs to work on better execution, short selection and calmness at the crease.

Excellent innings and instrumental in Overseas Warriors win

Haider Ali 91 (57)
 
Crowd chanting “Haider Haider” at the end when he was being awarded man of the match.

Hopefully can carry on the confidence from here and build upon that.
 

Highlights of his innings:

13 boundaries and 9 were leg side hacks

Add some poor bowling too. Easily would’ve got out in the cow corner (in the internationals) as he usually does

6 months away from international cricket, and still the same leg side hacks

No body wants haider to be a pollard or russel. He has skills to be a rohit or butler. Needs to stop slogging on leg. His off side shots are very good.

Tbf the bowling wasn't great but I must say this will do him a lot of good, in terms of morale.

3 at point 2 in cover region 2 over head boundaries
13-7 =6
2 were attempted bouncers
2 outside leg
2 were through midwicket region
Nonetheless poor bowling you cannot blame ;
batsman for it
Can you count 9 legside boundaries may be I have missed some
 
I had such high hopes but has become a Brain dead slogger at this point in his career.

I agree. Had high hopes from him. Still young so hopefully he can turn it around but not sure he will. He needs to stop playing t20s for his own sake.

When you see the wagon wheels of almost all T20 power players the vast majority of their runs are on the leg side. He has some power - what he really needs is to pick his shots better.
 
Hopefully he plays all the Qaid E Azam matches.He does have the natural talent but has brain fades.
 
If we are really serious in developing Haider, he needs to be dumped in domestic cricket and needs to be forgotten for at least 3 years.
