We need Shafiq in the middle-order to bring some stability. He is an organized batsman.

Seriously Shafiq :). Dont think so have seen enough of him already and is not fit for ODI.

Hopefully Harris Sohail will be ready for England and replace Hafeez
 
Babar Azam should replace Shehzad as an opener and Haris should replace Hafeez. I think we can fit in another batsman, the tail looks too long to me.

Imad is a decent batsman but not good enough to be permanent number 7.

You're underrating Imad's batting. From what I've seen, he seems like a pretty good batsman.
 
Rizwan has a lot of work to do, his spin playing capabilities are quite weak like Shahzad, gets into a tangle at times and plays with hard hands mostly.
 
Some seriously poor dimissals in this inns from batsmen who have all got themselves in, this is an example of not how to play ODI cricket.
 
rizwan and imad are smart and resilient batsmen. Very good find.
 
This is what happens when your team collapse. A regular occurrence since 2011.

I disagree. I think Imad is good enough to be number 7. Don't know much about power hitting, but the guy can dig in and stabilise an innings from what I can tell
 
Sweet timing by Imad. Newcomers showing the spine and commitment that the "seniors" lacked.

these 2 have read the pitch nicely. Not over attacking yet going at a decent rate.
 
Salar: "I think following the ICC's rule
changes to the last 10 overs of an ODI
innings, it coud bring out a different
breed of finishers. Not the bulky and
power hitters from the days past but
rather the busy and 'find the gap' type
finishers like Rizwan that can make full
use of the 5 fielders in the outfield."

From crinifo... Interesting
 
by the way missing Anwar Ali, him wasim and riz at the end would be a explosive combo for us with sarfraz up top to give us momentum.

I will prefer Imad at number 8 with a more accomplished batsman at number 7 in the long run.
 
Rizwan is a quality player indeed. [MENTION=57576]MRSN[/MENTION] take note.
 
The likes of Rizwan, Azhar, Sarfraz owning Akmal and Shehzad fanboys gives me immense guilty pleasure.
 
pakistan have found a genuine all-rounder by the looks of it. 50 for imad.

From what I have seen in Imad, I can say he has better defense or technique than Shehzad and even Hafeez. I think we should try him to no.4.

I think he's fine at 7. Much better than Afridi anyway, who has been a long term No. 7 for us.
 
commentator hafeez with his off spin they should be able to defend this score.

More often than not, Hafeez looks like a legend against these bowlers. We haven't seen Imad against quality pacers yet, so it is early to say if he has the capability to be a top-order batsman.

Number 7 has long been a problem for us because most of the teams have very accomplished players at this position, while we had Afridi.
 
Current partnership 113 runs, 18.0 overs, RR: 6.27 (Imad Wasim 60, Mohammad Rizwan 51)

I think imad needs an extended run at 7 cuz otherwise our bowling will be too weak. We have a backup allrounder at 8 and riaz at 9. Also imad is a better or as good 7 than many good teams. Some number 7s in the world cup :

Sri lanka :-thisara perera
Australia :-haddin
New zealand :-ronchi
India :-jadeja

Plus some of these teams had regular bowlers after 7
 
wow commentators don't know what,s going on.
Man ball hit rizwan boots and then they run to score . that was the main reason
 
Good Job Rizwan and Imad
