"We need one or 2 'badtameez type of batsmen' in the middle-order" : Inzamam-ul-Haq

[Savak]

In his Video analysis, Inzamam feels that the entire batting line up is filled with too many one dimensional accumulators who lack that aggressive gear and there is no reason to have such a low strike rate on good batting wickets against an ordinary bowling attack.

Quotes from interview

"Based on my logic, I was a little suprised to see the team that was announced; They played Abid Ali and Imam-ul-Haq as openers; As per requirements of the modern day game, we used to have Imam and Fakhar open the innings; That is because Imam is a player who has the ability to play all 50 overs and that was his role in the past, Fakhar was tasked with increasing the strike rate"

"Abid Ali has a slow tempo to his innings"

"We werent able to setup a good target considering the sort of bowling that Zimbabwe has"

"We have to think about playing both these players as openers; On top of that we have Babar at #3 who plays proper cricket and does not hit the ball which is the requirement for modern day game but having said that, his strike rate is still better than others"

"On #4 they sent in Rizwan who is another player who doesn't hit that ball (score at a fast pace) and the same for Haris Sohail - we all know his style of batting"

"There is no one in the top 5 who can hit big or can play at a fast strike rate"

"In plain words, we need one or 2 'badtameez type of batsmen' in the middle-order because it will become difficult to score 300-350 runs if you have only proper batsmen"

"Pakistan only has one bowler at the moment, who knows how to bowl with the new and old ball and that is Shaheen Shah Afridi"

"Wahab Riaz has the problem that unless the ball is reversing and is old, he is ineffective; Every time he has been asked to bowl at the top-order, his performance has not been that good"


"Haris Rauf maybe new to the scene but he still doesnt know how to bowl with the new ball; He has been bowling with the old ball for a while and also his temperament is that of a bowler who only balls 4 overs (T20) - its not that of a 10 over bowler - and he doesnt know how to bowl 10 overs"

"This is a moment of reflection for Pakistan that whilst we have 2 good bowlers in Wahab and Haris, both bowlers need to work with Waqar and learn about this"

"If Zimbabwe was a big team then I dont think they would have had a problem winning from a point where they need 8 runs an over and they would have chased the target with ease"

"Team like Zimbabwe needs our batsmen to attack their bowlers, if we dont then they will put pressure on us"

 

[Bullet Drive]

What about his nephew?

He is part of the problem

He has only scored 1 50 out of 14 at over a run a ball. This was vs Zimbabwe.

Selfish to the core.

Selfish to the core.

That is his role to play long hence why he has very impressive average

 

[Bewal Express]

Every knows the problem, maybe someone can come up with a workable solution.

 

[Omer2002]

Grt from inzi isnt it..i mean in his time they played v positive didnt they nott

 

[Zaz]

That is his role to play long hence why he has very impressive average

Not really Whats abid role, whats rizwan role whats babars role How many accumulators do we need in one team

Imam has shown more than once hes got a selfish streak n plays for himself a lot of the time

That needs to be stop

 

[Kroll]

The daleri, jazba and badmashi is long confined to Inzi's days.

 

[Omer2002]

Grt from inzi isnt it..i mean in his time they played v positive didnt they nott

I meant when he was a selector not a player

 

[Hasan123]

He is right. Did he question his nephew though?

 

[Shafi]

As if he is any better!!!! His nephew also plays too slow.

 

[Suleiman]

Zimbabwe giving a run for your money every ODI series you guys play is 100% a cause of concern. Been seeing this since 2013, shows you the quality of our cricket.

 

[Shaddy86]

As if he is any better!!!! His nephew also plays too slow.

He was better, he was one of the best we had in terms of striking ability but the team we have right now was pretty much set up by Inzi himself.

So Imam is excused because he is that type of batsman who plays all 50 overs!

[ask_analyse_act]

His team when played the zimababwe series Fakhar scored 210 , and they won the tri-series with Aus and Zim if I rmb correctly. He has the right to talk I believe.

Even Imam was scoring at at least 80 - 85 strike rate under Mickey and Inzi which is totally alright for an opener if can avg 50+ especially for a team like Pakistan who are still finding a proper opener since Saeed Anwar and Aamer Sohail

 

[Bewal Express]

All the batsman want to stay in the team with low risk cricket, the teams needs dynamic risk takers along with the steady Eddie's. All we have is lots of steady Eddies

I think we all know there is a another reason why he is being excused isnt there?

 

[Ab Fan]

What is this Badatmeez type batsmen?

Is Inzy referring to a Hardik Pandya type batsmen in Pakistan squad??

 

[Zaz]

What is this Badatmeez type batsmen?

Is Inzy referring to a Hardik Pandya type batsmen in Pakistan squad??

Players with jazba and badmaashi as shoaib akhter says (whatever that means)

Its also interesting he says its the middle order that needs it and not the opening too I wonder why that is?

Aggressive, in your face batsman.

 

[NoBallZombie]

The approach to building the team is very chaotic to say the least. Whenever you would want to set any type of team in any environment, you need to take a strategy first approach and not the "existing member" first approach -- what this means is that instead of trying to slot in your wanted players to create an XI (not a team), you decide which combination you want to build e.g. I can think of the following :

1. 2 accumulators in the top 3 and one dasher with 2 dashers in the next 3 batsmen to follow.
2. 2 dashing openers followed by an accumulator, and then a dasher and accumulator etc.

Once they know what combo they want, they have to slot in the right players and assign them roles. Here the problem is that Imam wants the role of playing the 50 overs and he has a game suited for it. When Abid comes in, he wants to do the same and Babar also takes a bit of time, this leaves the rest of the coming batsmen with a lot of responsibility to either up the ante or consolidate.

 

[JibranAnsari]

A batsman who can average between 40-45 and strike rate of 95 at number 5. 85 should be the minimum strike rate for top 3. Number 6 and 7 should be big hitters , Imad wasim is ideal for any of those positions. Shadab doesn't fit in the batting lineup unless he improves his hitting ability.

 

[Usman]

I agree with Inzi, but please do not bracket Harris Sohail as an accumulator. We saw in the World Cup 2019 how brilliant he was winning games for Pakistan when his role was to come in and make a good score into a great score. Yesterday, his role was different - rebuild after a mini collapse which led to the slow play. After Rizwaan, there wasn't a dependable batsman who Haris could have relied on. Haris plays according to the situation and so where it is too risky to play fast, he won't play fast.

In my view, the following combination and batting order would be a good mix of accumulators and hitters:

Fakhar Zaman
Mohammed Rizwaan
Barbar Azam
Haider Ali
Harris Sohail
Kushdil Shah
Shadab Khan
Imad Wasim
Wahab Riaz
[Harris Rauf - until Naseem Shah is fit]
Shaheen Sha Afridi

In that line-up, you've got three "proper" batsman in Rizwaan, Barbar and Harris - one of them will successfully play the anchor role in every game. Harris is also the most capable of switching gears and so bats in a position where he has the chance to do that - 5.

You've then got a good mix of big hitters with Fakhar, Haider and Kushdil Shah.

This is followed by some excellent lower order hitters in Shadab and Imam.

Finally you finish off with the tail in which Wahab is a 6 hitter.

The perfect line-up!

 

[Varun]

Lol please. Inzamam was selector just over a year ago and the team was hardly any different.

Look at the difference in acoustics when one is outside vs inside the PCB set-up.

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Players with jazba and badmaashi as shoaib akhter says (whatever that means)

Its also interesting he says its the middle order that needs it and not the opening too I wonder why that is?

He said opener too. Separate quote in the same interview.

He targeted Abid though not Imam (Abid does come up on the chopping block first, so I don’t blame him).

If you ask me personally, our pool of 3 openers should be Imam, Fakhar, and Haider, with Fakhar and Haider as first choice and Imam as backup for Fakhar. Imam is still useful for his consistent starts and he is young so May well still bring new aspects to his game. Gun fielder too. Selfish right now though but nothing they can’t be worked on.

seeing as imam is his nephew it doesnt come across well at all when inzy criticises others specifically but not imam
(He even had a dig at babar)

Itd be better if inzy doesnt comment on such matters whilst his nephew is in the team

Theres definitely an issue with imam and a couple of others who play for milestones first before opening up

We saw harris do the same with a slow 50 then he opened up n started playing some shots

Its not acceptable and its been going for a while in the pakistan team

Very good lineup.

Possibly switch Imad for Zafar Gohar as he is a more incisive spinner.

Poasibly switch Wahab for Hasan Ali-if he can recover forn.

Finally,Amir as 3rd Seamer for wc in 2023.

I really like the concept that you have and it would work well- good balance

 

[Syed1]

Typical ex-cricketer. They all talk sense before and after being in a position of power. While they are in power they make the same mindless decisions that the present lot is doing.

 

[Kaddy]

He criticised almost everyone including Babar but he conveniently ignored Imam's low strike rate.

 

[JattMaula]

Who will be these ill-mannered batters? Does any proven domestic player fit in that mold? (Plz don't suggest 16 year old or 3 match old talunts plz)

 

[hitthestump]

Inzamam is correct. We can't have 5 steady batsmen in the top order because behind them Imad Wasim is our only batsmen capable of acceleration. If he gets out we finish sub par every time.

Placing Abid and Imam together was a bad idea even before we saw the results and shows that Misbah has no clue. He is a coach who has a mindset of the 80's.

Rizwan is a quality batsman but he should be in the top 4 as he doesn't have that faster gear.

We need youngsters in the mix to reshape some of the energy the ODI team has.

 

[hitthestump]

Who will be these ill-mannered batters? Does any proven domestic player fit in that mold? (Plz don't suggest 16 year old or 3 match old talunts plz)

Why not suggest Khushdil, Zeeshan or even Azam Khan? You have to start somewhere. Malik and Hafeez have ensured we have no proven talents to call on.

 

[hitthestump]

He criticised almost everyone including Babar but he conveniently ignored Imam's low strike rate.

Just because he didn't mention Imam by name it doesn't mean he isn't critical of him. Inzamam is talking about strike rates and it's not a secret that Imam's is one of the lowest in the world, so it is a criticism of him.

 

[Titan24]

Yes Inzi era was revolutionary with number of of modern day batsmen. With Malik and Hafeez he covered that “Badtameez” batsmen base as well I guess. Unfortunately Inzi’s tenure was only of 3 years, if it would have been of 4 or 5 years he would have set up an army of “badtameez” batsmen.

Also who can forget the revolutionary experiment with opening pair of Shan Masood and Abid Ali in ODIs against Aus. However, Abid now has possibly suddenly become a defensive batsman in an year and maybe thats why Inzi has raised objection.

 

[Usman]

Very good lineup.

Possibly switch Imad for Zafar Gohar as he is a more incisive spinner.

Poasibly switch Wahab for Hasan Ali-if he can recover forn.

Finally,Amir as 3rd Seamer for wc in 2023.

I really like the concept that you have and it would work well- good balance

Agreed that Imad isn't the best when it comes to ODI bowling and Zafar may be a better choice. I do think though Imad plays match-winning cameos down the order so I would be nervous without that. There are loads of examples - most memorable is probably that epic innings against Rashid Khan on a turning wicket against Afghanistan, in effectively a World Cup elimination game.

Agreed also that Amir should play. With Hasan I have seen such a steep decline that I just don't know if he can come back to the Champions Trophy 2017 level. Unless he does, Wahab is just a far better option - his old ball skills are a complete asset. And then you have Naseem Shah who is probably our best long term option to partner Shaheen.

One thing is for certain though, the current line up of accumator after accumulator is destined for failure. We have to mix it up and Inzi is right about that.

 

[Kaddy]

We do have one.........

 

[JibranAnsari]

Khushdil shah

Strike rate of 100 and average of 47.

We need a couple more to experiment though.

 

[coy0607]

The daleri, jazba and badmashi is long confined to Inzi's days.

That type of swagger makes sense when you're a half decent team. Pakistan team in the last decade+ has been borderline minnows - having that sort of swagger would just play as dumb, foolish and whinny

 

[JibranAnsari]

In my opinion once sharjeel regains his form he should b tried in middle order. More chances of him to succeed in the middle order with less swing and seam.

 

[JattMaula]

Why not suggest Khushdil, Zeeshan or even Azam Khan? You have to start somewhere. Malik and Hafeez have ensured we have no proven talents to call on.

Khushdil shah

Strike rate of 100 and average of 47.

We need a couple more to experiment though.

Then Khushdil should be playing every Pakistan LO match possible to either give him adequate experience before big tournaments. Pakistan anyway plays very few cricket.

 

[JattMaula]

We do have one.........

My body and soul is ready for the comeback.

The perfect line-up!

Not bad lineup, but I am not sure about Rizwan opening. Keeping that exact XI, I’ll rearrange Babar & Fakhar, Haider as top 3; followed by Rizwan, Haris, Khusdil in that order. Or may be split two lefties in middle order by putting Rizwan at 5.

Spin bowling is a bit loose & Imad will be like 12 KG heavier by 2023; so they should look to Gohar for that. Also, if you allow one more change, I’ll drop Fakhar (he is 31+ officially; on his last leg with that technique- once his eye & reflex betrays, he’ll be a treat to watch in a year or two) & straightway open with Saud Shakil & Babar - if that left/ right combo works, it’ll continue for 3 WCs upto 2031.

 

[shamaan]

Not really Whats abid role, whats rizwan role whats babars role How many accumulators do we need in one team

Imam has shown more than once hes got a selfish streak n plays for himself a lot of the time

That needs to be stop

Imaam role is to bat throw like inzamam said.as for abid am not sure what his role is and how he gets in the squad which I stated on numerous threads you will have to ask misbah.imaam has done well when hes had an attacking partner.

 

[shamaan]

My xI would be for the next odi
Fakhar
Imaam
Babar
Haider
Rizwan
Khushdil
Imad
Qadir
Wahab
Shaheen
Rauf

When shadab is fit he can replace qadir

 

[Darkrai]

Other top teams have like 1 accumulator surrounded by aggressive batsmen. For AUS, ENG, and IND, they have Smith, Root, and Kohli respectively.

Pakistan, however, typically has 4 or 5 accumulators and 1 or 2 aggressive players.

 

[Kashur_Kalkharab]

Irrespective of how fare is he being, during his time I think he flooded in lot of youngsters compared to earlier selectors. Shadab, imam, fakhar, hassan ali, imad etc were regularly selected a head of seniors, it was not bad compared to the ones prior to him.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

In Inzamam's tenure, Pakistan ODI team was No 1 including a world cup win by beating Australia in the finals by 200 runs. Badtameez was the highest scorer with 177 at a strike rate of 177. Wahab never bowled early overs and Imam carried his bat for 50 at a run an over.

 

[Usman]

Not bad lineup, but I am not sure about Rizwan opening. Keeping that exact XI, I’ll rearrange Babar & Fakhar, Haider as top 3; followed by Rizwan, Haris, Khusdil in that order. Or may be split two lefties in middle order by putting Rizwan at 5.

Spin bowling is a bit loose & Imad will be like 12 KG heavier by 2023; so they should look to Gohar for that. Also, if you allow one more change, I’ll drop Fakhar (he is 31+ officially; on his last leg with that technique- once his eye & reflex betrays, he’ll be a treat to watch in a year or two) & straightway open with Saud Shakil & Babar - if that left/ right combo works, it’ll continue for 3 WCs upto 2031.

All valid points, but my issue with putting Rizwan at 5 is this - he is not a hitter. At number 5, you need a really good batsman who can also switch gears when needed. Take the example of Inzi himself - this was what made him our greatest match winner. He could just score so freely at 5 that we'd end up making winning scores. Harris is the perfect man for this role, as he demonstrated in the World Cup.

Rizwan is someone who will flourish playing a long innings. He is more than capable of doing the job Imam does at the moment but probably at a better strike rate. What Rizwan won't do is regularly smack the ball to all parts of the ground at the end of an innings.

I also think Babar has been such a brilliant no.3 for us that we shouldn't look to change it. Look at Kohli, Williamson etc - 3 is the natural spot for your star batsman.

Haider I want at 4 so that there is a gap between Barbar and Harris. Otherwise Harris will come in too early and play the same accumulator role as Barbar, taking us to a sub-par score. As Inzi says, we need a batameez batsman in between who is going to propel the middle order into a fast scoring rate. If Haider doesn't come off, you've then got the security of Haris to play a rescue role.

Imad I agree isn't the strongest prospect in ODI cricket but as I said in another post, I love him for the sheer number of cameos he plays down the order. I just don't want the lower order to fall away squandering the efforts of the top and middle order. But I agree, Zafar is the better spinner, certainly in ODIs.

I disagree with the idea of dropping Fakhar. I think he is a selfless batsman who does the aggressive hitting role for us at the top of the order better than any Pakistani opener in a long time. Sharjeel, for example, was far less consistent. And of course as a Pakistani, I will never forget THAT innings against India in the Champions Trophy final for as long as I live. Fakhar has done more than enough in my view to be our first choice opener.

 

[TeamPak95]

What's the definition and examples of budtameez type of batsman?

 

[Ashmal]

Not bad lineup, but I am not sure about Rizwan opening. Keeping that exact XI, I’ll rearrange Babar & Fakhar, Haider as top 3; followed by Rizwan, Haris, Khusdil in that order. Or may be split two lefties in middle order by putting Rizwan at 5.

Fakhar still has a role to play in 2023 WC.

But I'll bat him at #5, spin is going to play a big role in next WC (in India) and Fakhar is a good player of spin(best among current Pak players).
He can come in the middle order and provide an impetus to the innings.

He may have an iffy technique and won't always come off against quicks but I don't think that would be much of a factor on Indian pitches.

He would be 33+ in 2023 but he's pretty fit and a decent fielder as well, so it shouldn't be a problem as long as his batting holds up.

 

[zacattakk]

In his Video analysis, Inzamam feels that the entire batting line up is filled with too many one dimensional accumulators who lack that aggressive gear and there is no reason to have such a low strike rate on good batting wickets against an ordinary bowling attack.

Quotes from interview

"Based on my logic, I was a little suprised to see the team that was announced; They played Abid Ali and Imam-ul-Haq as openers; As per requirements of the modern day game, we used to have Imam and Fakhar open the innings; That is because Imam is a player who has the ability to play all 50 overs and that was his role in the past, Fakhar was tasked with increasing the strike rate"

"Abid Ali has a slow tempo to his innings"

Such biased comments. His nephew was playing slower than Abid Ali. And in general Abid tends to show more positive intent than Imam.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Says the guy who had Malik at no.5 in SENA where he can't buy a run to save his life and Sarfraz at no.6 who is one of the most one dimensional batter ever.
And when he was captain, he used to have Yasir hameed at no.3. And Younis Khan played at no.5 for the majority of Inzi's tenure. That too when Pakistan had Abdul Razzaq, Azhar Mahmood, peak Malik, even peak Kami(if there was one).
Funnily enough, from 2005 onwards, he pushed Younis and Yousaf to bat at no.3 and no.4 hid himself at no.5 even when he was clearly the most versatile batter of them all.

His reign of captaincy from 2006-2007 was pure garbage apart from that one Test against SA.
He was totally one dimensional as captain and had no second plan when things would not go according to plan which they usually would. I remember the god awful 2006 ODI series against India, when we kept scoring 280s, ran India close till 30th over and then give away the match to Yuvraj and Dhoni by feeding him Rana Naved, Shoaib Malik, the ever declining Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Sami and Yasir Arafat in last 20 overs. Out of the box or change in tactics was something that was never present in his book.



Coming to his criticism of one dimensional player, Babar is the best batter in all Pakistan atm, he ups the ante once he settles himself but yes more work is needed on that aspect for him.
Calling Haris an accumulator is hilarious to be honest. He is extremely adept at strike rotation and had been switching the gears effortlessly at no.5 when Mickey and Flower worked on that aspect. I hope he watched the game against SA in WC19. Funnily enough, the one dimensional Haris was kept out of the side in favor of the run machine Shoaib Malik his favorite since 2000s who almost singlehandedly won us the world cup 2019.

Considering he was doing the selection job till a year back, his statements are so stupid that they aren't even funny.

 

[Abdullah719]

Is Haider badtameez?

 

[ElRaja]

What's the definition and examples of budtameez type of batsman?

batsmen who dont shows bowlers too much respect, from your team yuvraj, sehwag, rohit are all good examples of "badtameez" batsmen.

 

[Rana]

Is Haider badtameez?

He turned the whole game into the Badtameez dil song. Even Aleem Dar and the 3rd umpire became badtameez

 

[shamaan]

Haider is badtmeez

 

[Kroll]

My xI would be for the next odi
Fakhar
Imaam
Babar
Haider
Rizwan
Khushdil
Imad
Qadir
Wahab
Shaheen
Rauf

When shadab is fit he can replace qadir

I like it because of 2 left handers up top. I feel it's always useful to have at least one left handed opener.

 

[Rana]

We’ve missed a guy who is ready to dispatch halwa spinners into row Z of the stands since Afridi.

Haider does this Badtameezi by staying in the crease. Others like Malik and Hafeez are great when coming down the track in comparison

 

[Saj]

Are these type of players Abdullah Shafique and Khushdil Shah?

 

[Rana]

Haider is badtmeez

Did you see Aleem Dar’s Badtameez decision against him?

 

[Rohan]

batsmen who dont shows bowlers too much respect, from your team yuvraj, sehwag, rohit are all good examples of "badtameez" batsmen.

Dravid used to be different type of badtameez batsman. He used to bore bowlers by giving them toooooo much respect.

 

[Ahson8]

Are these type of players Abdullah Shafique and Khushdil Shah?

Khushdil probably, Abdullah plays proper cricket shots

 

[Markhor]

Inzy with the line of the year.

TBF Inzy left us with a proper ODI batting line-up that scored 340+ in 3 innings in a row and made 300+ on a few occasions in the world cup. We had come a long way under him from barely making 250 in 2016 to regularly hitting 300 in 2019. Now we seem to be going back to the bad old days.

Khushdil Shah is the way forward IMO

Umar Akmal would be the happiest man on earth after seeing Inzi’s quote.

Hes a bit too badtameez more like bhegherat batsman

Ha! I think there is a thin line between badtameez and bhegherat. Lets give Umar Akmal the benefit of doubt shall we?

Akmal family motto is 'benefit of doubt'.

 

[shamaan]

Did you see Aleem Dar’s Badtameez decision against him?

Yes I seen it poor decision from such a experienced umpire

 

[shamaan]

I would replace rizwan with Rohail, qadir with zafar, and Shaheen with husnain or Musa. let the guy take a break

Yes for the last game I would pick the following

Fakhar
Abdullah
Babar
Haider
Rizwan
Khushdil
Imad
Qadir
Rauf
Musa
Husnain

I would stil pick qadir over gohar and becouse rizwan didnt get any runs il okay him I dont think they will make more than 3 chances

 

[shamaan]

I like it because of 2 left handers up top. I feel it's always useful to have at least one left handed opener.

I want one stable player one attacking haider adds different dimension if played in the middle

I would go

Fakhar
Abdullah
Babar
Haider
Rizwan
Khushdil
Imad
Qadir
Rauf
Musa
Husnain

I dont think they will make more than 3 chances for the next game

Haider, Abdullah, Babar, Saud, Azam Khan(wk) and Saif Badar

Mohammed Haris, Hasan Mohsin, Danish Aziz on the bench.

Saif Badar reminds me of Muhammad Ashraful of BD , Do I need to say more?

 

[The Viper]

I think Haider fit the 'badtameez' category today.
