Whoever from Bilal, Shehzad and Hafeez bat well might as well be the opener against England in ten days
 
How come bilal is an opener with List A stats of 22 189 34 15.75??
 
Bilal would suit much better in the top order in T20's, doesn't look too comfortable in ODI's
 
Bilal would be a decent late order batsman at 7 or 8. The opening slot just isn;t for him. In T20 its okay, but in ODI you need someone who can bat as well.
 
:4: by bilal but he surely was struggling early on.

honestly his batting is club level, you have a guy who can hit some shots but has nothing in between,playing a shot a ball and hoping it connects.

there is no way he can replace Professor off all people as an opener, and i dont see them pushing Azhar up in the test team either. So i have no idea how they plan on getting him into the team unless he is a stright swap with Zulfi
 
Shehzad is thinking a tuk tuk 50 to solidify his spot in the team. This is his mindset. He is not ODI material.

i feel in ODIs, if he is in the playing XI , he has to bat at 7 or 8. Can be a good lower order hitter.
in tests we have to see what options we have. If there is nobody better than him as an off spinner, they might be forced to select him. There is a definite need for an off spinner against england given they have 5 lefties in the squad.
 
nice timeless test level batting by shehzad. 4 off 19
 
Shehzad might be the most frustrating Pakistan player I have ever watched.

Atleast Shafi goes back to the pavillion early in ODIs :))
 
Shehzad is a joke. Hope babar azam replaces him soon. Its criminal for an opener to suck all the momentum even if the target is small.
 
I can't stand this anymore. Just kick Shehzad out of the squad and dont recall him for at least 2 years, to give him some lesson. He just completely lost it and seems not to be willing to change his approach.

comes across as a stubborn individual.

Yamin, Anwar, Imad, even Kamran ghulam will all do a better job down the order. you need to be a striker, not a slogger at 7 and 8
 
Would it be harsh for me to say that Bilal Asif is a poor mans Ashwin? They both have the same batting ability and are both off spinners with similar actions. To early to say this but he'll improve in time, he'll be excellent down the order.
 
Babar aztually plays for the team and has so much more potential than shehzad. Shehzad shouldnt be in this team

Hes a betterlimited overs bat than ashwin. If his howling is half has good in odis which i think it is then hes a good number 8 for us

It would mean that our usually brittle tail can wag on a little longer with Asif, Yamin, Anwar, Yasir, Wahab etc.
 
I just woke up to notice that Shehzad is 5 off 20 :facepalm:

Fake virat kohli doesnt know how to bat. Cant wait for him to be dropped. Our management isnt stupid
 
Looks like Shehzad and Shafiq will torment us against England ODI
