Which Pakistan batsman do you think will break the ice and eventually score big on this tour?

[super hitter]

The lads are in top form, but the performances are way below average...

Theirs a lot of pressure on the XI to perform in the 4th ODI, Who do you think is capable making the break through?

Azhar Ali or Imam ul Haq? (One is under extreme pressure while the other is unexperienced)

Babar Azam? (As always, fails to deliver, when under pressure)

Muhammad Hafeez/ Shoaib Malik or Haris Sohail? ( Hafeez was the one from whom I had the greatest amount of expectation, Shoaib Malik was meant to fail on Non-Asian pitches against genuine pace, Harris has done absolutely nothing of note in the domestics and seems to be very hyped up)

Sarfraz Ahmed? (Failed with utmost consistency after becoming the captain, fails to accept the responsibility as a batsman)

Tail Enders? (TBH, looking at the past few matches, these are the only ones who can turn the coin somehow, some bit).

What's your gut feeling?

 

[MoJoJoJo]

The lads are in top form.. Really?

 

[Syed1]

If this is top form... I wonder what is bad form.

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Hafeez might perform in tommorow's game because he always delivers when his spot in the team is questioned..
ps i have no hope from this lineup

You can't disagree to that looking at their pre-tour performances, can you?

The reason for their failures is the UAE pitches. They have failed to make the transition, even though it is too late but lets see who will bring the change...

Our champions trophy performance unfortunately provided our batsmen to hide and ride upon their poor performances.. better not count lanka series they are minnows..

 

[DRsohail]

It will be FAKAHR or BABAR.

 

[prop558]

In batting, I have hopes for Fakhar, Babar, Sarfraz, Fahim, Shadab & even Hasan Ali.

Azhar is out of form and seems not 100% fit.

While Malik & Hafeez are burden for us

Thats why I'm afraid. He must be dropped.

Babar will continue disappointing us. Problem is, we aren't able to play run a bowl. The New Zealanders are well adapted with their home conditions and using the tricks effectively. Their field setup is simply amazing. Whereas, Babar's down the ground hitting isn't really working while Fakhar has played well due to his flight giving shots.

 

[ego-gambit]

Malik will make 100 & will be declared pillar of Pakistan batting

 

[pakistanisgreat]

It does not matter who performs now.. Series is lost, i really do not care at this moment. I want senior to fail so we can get new blood.

I am really disappointed that Babar did not score.

Not beating SL 5-0?

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Fakhar already did and his game of attacking will yield runs... got to be attacking from the word go in NZL waiting for spinners to score runs or seeing off the new ball will be a bad idea as they might not last that long..

 

[MoJoJoJo]

Not beating SL 5-0?

lankans are minnows..

 

[BlueDoritos]

Babar

 

[Abdullah]

I think so too.
If haris plays he needs to bat at 4

 

[shokz1408]

I only see fakhar able to achieve a big score, and tailenders with a chance of a 50.

 

[RickyG]

I hope Haris makes a come back. Same with Imam. they don't deserve to sit out two meaningless ODIs when they can get some much needed experience in foreign conditions.

 

[HuzaifaE]

Apart from the fact that there's a drought, the whole place is really wet

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Babar has sadly become a lot more defense oriented since his 2016.

 

[Suleiman]

Fakhar. The others have the wrong mindset and need to change it / not good enough.

 

[Sirris]

Malik will make 100 & will be declared pillar of Pakistan batting

He won't be able to manage that even if it were to be a matter of life and death.

 

[Lynx]

Babar might score big at a SR of around 70, which is the norm for him these days. Apart from that, Fakhar has already scored big in 1/2 matches. I expect Haris to score big if he plays in today's match, and Sarfraz if he bats at 4/5.

 

[Savak]

Hafeez, he already has a 60 which shows he can do well in these conditions, needs to get through the first 6-7 deliveries on and around off stump. The best player of the cut and pull shot in the team.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Well I hope Fakhar or Babar perform personally. But it seems tailer made for Hafeez and Malik to perform instead.

 

[finalfantasy7]

Fakhar if not him then no knee else will.

Everyone looks rusty
