Yasir Shah's problems in ODIs

Just what we need at the World Cup :inzi2
 
Micky Arthur is not the sharpest tool is he ?
I mean this guy was horrible for even Lahore at the PSL . Yet a spot is wasted on him once again.
 
On the bright side, he's conceded 80+ runs in the two ODIs against Australia so far so a wicket must be around the corner.

You said it!

Now how quickly can he give away 80 more runs is every Pakistan’s question and dua :yk
 
Good to see people happily indulging themselves in a good 'ol serving of humble pie.

Shah is turning into one supreme bowler. His ability to run through sides and become virtually unplayable on his day is reminiscent of Saeed Ajmal. We certainly needed him to step up quickly after Ajmal's castration and he's done that beautifully.

Best spinner in the world, bar none. Ashwin held the crown for a while but Shah has snatched it back and made sure that a Pakistani is wearing it once again.

lmao, funny reading back the comments

Brilliant bowling today. He has served me a nice filling of apple pie with cream on top in general because I didn't expect him to be this good, and didn't take an accurate measure of things, but on a serious note, there is no reason why he can't adjust to ODIs in time.

He has been gifted his wickets today but he spun the ball a lot and bowled in the right areas.

Some things indeed happen for a good reason - if that old chucker wouldn't have been banned somewhere around this time last year, we would still be stuck with him even though his performance was declining.

Yasir brings energy, aesthetically pleasing bowling (Ajmal had one ugly action) and better looks to the team. Also, no one can deny that watching leg-spin > darts and doosras.

Or this bad maybe? 😆
 
What a waste of a selection. Would have been better to play Shadab than waste games on Yasir.

Just relax bro because it is not about winning the series it is just about testing the bench strength. Let the joyful and ever smiling Yasir play and have fun. :misbah
 
Yasir is only selected because of his connections with Inzamam.

He is very close to Inzamam (I have seen them having lunch together as well privately).
 
I don't mind testing bench strength but not with players who don't deserve it.

Exactly, Haris Rauf, Musa, Umer Khan or Zafar Gohar any day over Abbas and Yasir in LOIs.

I dont know whats the point of testing test players as ODI bench strength

Shadab needs rest, on the other hand there are tons of players he could have picked.

Mohammad Asghar
Zafar Gohar
Umer Khan
Mohammad Irfan (leggie)
Kashif Bhatti
 
what an absolute waste of space he is in ODIs and T20s. Lahore Qalandar kept picking him and got hammered. Now revolutionary inzi picked him for ODIs, to get hammered.
 
No end to his misery in ODIs - how can they take him to England for the World Cup?

Pathetic, innit..

:facepalm:

Can't spin the ball, and just has one delivery. Such an awful bowler.
 
Can't bowl, can't bat, let me select him in the series before the WC - Inzi :inzi2
