Zulfiqar Babar Performance Watch Thread

[Mamoon]

Needs to be shown the door in my opinion.

Looking extremely ordinary out there and is way too old and sluggish which makes him a liability in the field as well. His batting is not terrible, but not good enough to outweigh his unconvincing bowling and batting.

Honestly, he has been downhill since his debut other than the odd performance. Was picked too late when he was past his prime.

Could have been a great bowler for us in his peak and yes hindsight is a luxury, but we should have picked him over the mediocre Rehman all those years ago.

Bring Raza in against NZ.

 

[Strike Rate]

Took 2 wickets just now from nowhere Pakistan getting closer to win!

 

[waleed88]

who said we missing saeed ajmal???? Like I always said, there are plenty of youngsters who could take the mantle from him

Who said Zulfiqar is a youngster

 

[Mamoon]

We need to give Raza a chance against NZ. Babar is too old and has no long term utility.

Any spinner can take a few wickets in these conditions.

Relatively

 

[Ahson8]

Raza is NOT ready for tests.

Like Lyon and O Keefe?

This.

And there is nothing wrong with Babars age if he continues to perform. Raza should for the time being continue to perfect his limited overs bowling and hopefully will be ready for tests in a year or two. The process will be similar to Ajmal's but starting at a much younger age.

As long as he is taking wickets he will be worth a place. This constant rubbish about the future means nothing unless a series is over. Coaches and captains normally hide behind the future argument to avoid responsibility for results. For me its simple always play your best available team,Babar is a better then Raza atm so he should playand if Raza improves and Babar fails, well then play him. Enough of this future that never actually arrives.

Against Australia. They have just 2 capable players of spin.

 

[Strike Rate]

This is Babar best bowling figure and he is up for his first 5fer haddin gone on duck.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

gets haddin now.

 

[Strike Rate]

5fer for baba!!!

 

[Bewal Express]

Looks a solid spinner- does the basics well.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Gotta mention, he's had more than 5 chances missed off his bowling in this Test. His figures would have looked even better if those chances were taken.

and still got a 5 fer which is impressive. i had memories of kaneria and kamran akmal today when those catches were dropped

 

[DawoodChaudhry]

zulfi bahi is a good bowler and good line lenth on wicket

 

[Thivagar]

Pakistan should stick with Zulfiqar and Yasir Shah. No need to bring Ajmal, i don't see him being effective at all.

Good analysis seems to have done job in test match just gone!

 

[WebGuru]

Proving to be the key bowler for Pakistan in this series.

 

[Boi]

lol at [MENTION=56866]Bullet Drive[/MENTION] calling Babar overrated. The guy is class.

 

[khalil1986]

Fantastic bowler second only to Herath yet BD was trying to tell me how ordinary he is.

Funny thing is he hypes hacks like no tomorrow.

That's okay. The funniest thing is when the hacks perform for a change, he claims to have talked to them and given them advice due to which they are scoring.
