What's new

Why has Mohammad Hafeez been promoted above Babar Azam in the batting order?

Hafeez averaged 68, top score of 88
Babar averaged 77, top score of 125
...Mind you they both striked at 88

Funny that even at minnow bashing, Babar is superior to the young professor.

Yes and Hafeez played important knocks in all 3 innings.. while Babar was absent in the other two games.. played in only one..

Hafeezz scored more runs in the series...

for a guy who was getting bashed for playing in Babar's spot.. he's done much better than him despite playing at no.4

Haha you're funny. 32 off 50 is now an important knock. Not to mention he was saved by Shoaib Malik in his other two knocks while Babar won his team the match and in his failures didn't waste a gajillion balls.

You're attemepts at trying to go against whoever is the talk of PP is lame, just like your post content.

Gajillion?? Hafeez played at a better strike rate than Babar in both games... meanwhile Babar played at a strike rate of 50 in the first game... but ofcourse that was Hafeez's fault too...

But there wasn't two games, there was 3. First you said Hafeez played important knocks in both, now you're talking about Babars 50 strike rate. I said he didn't waste balls, he only played 21 balls in his failure as opposed to Hafeez' 50. The only good innings Hafeez had was that finall 80 odd, which Malik managed to overshadow and actually finished it off. It's easy to just look at the final strike rate like you're doing but not looking at the actual inning itself. Anyone with half a brain would know that Hafeez' 88 was the worst 50+ of the series. Even there Malik managed a 140 strike rate 50.

Malik had dropped catches in both innings he played, should've been out on a zero in the first game... shouldn't have made his century in the second... was dropped twice in the game he made his century..

Babar was the best batsman in the second game, but besides that it was Hafeez who carried on the show while the guy played at a strike rate of 50

lol Malik was dropped well after the game was in a very comfortable position and haha Hafeez' with his 32 off 50 was definitely carrying the show! Not to mention his awful first inning score.. I've already said that the only good knock he played was in the 3rd match (which once again was outshone by Malik, like in the 1st ODI)

Malik>Hafeez
Babar>Hafeez
Hafeez>your post quality

No no, you are teribly mistaken.. how can you put TTFs like Malik ahead of Babar... Babar had the best knock in his first innings, where he played at the strike rate of 50. So good from a future ATG

hahaha, you're sarcasm matches your post quality. Where did I say Malik is ahead of Babar?

(The difference between both Babar/Malik and Hafeez is that when the former waste balls, they get out quick. You're professor however decides to stick around since he's so tactically advanced.)

Yes but when Babar Azam plays at the same strike rate as Hafeez, he is a match winning genius with super human abilities... ofcourse!!

Yes i.e the 125* where Pakistan comfortably won the game on a tough wicket while you're professor saab couldn't score at 100 sr on a wicket that Windies comfortably chased 300+ :)
 
waleed is definitely on a trolling wind-up.

With so many failures on our team you'd have to be insane to bash a young rookie who's done better than the 'seniors'.

Ofcourse Babar always plays on a tough wicket... his average of 11 in Australia was proof of his struggles.. while the obviously easy wickets he batted in ODIs were groundbreaking for a Pakistani batsmen.. espeically when chasing a total of 350 or 370

haha at first I thought you were a troll, I think now it's just that you may be rather slow in the head. We are talking about ODIs here where Babar averaged 56 lol...Not to mention that he averaged 47 on much tougher NZ wickets.

With Babar, the only real criticism is that he plays for his 100 then finally opens up...and if that's what the criticism is for a young batsman, then he has got to be an amazing talent. It sucks for you doesn't it?.... knowing Babar is capable of breaking a lot of Pak batting records.

And please stop your crappy sarcasm, it's making my eyes bleed reading it.

Anyway as mods have said, this is off topic.

So if Babar is average because he cashes in on good ODI wickets, where does that leave Hafeez; who on the same pitch nicked off to 2nd slip in the 27th over. Who exactly are you comparing Babar with when you target him? If you are comparing him with Kohli, De Villiers, Smith, you'll always be disappointed my friend...

He comes off as a rather selfish batsman.. who is playing for his average rather than for the team..
