Pakistan Tour of England and Ireland - July/September 2016

[Aoun13]

Pakistan team looks so weak compare to what we had in the past. No body in the middle order can hit sixes regularly and its a shame that we have included Wahab again after giving 100+ runs in an ODI.
The T20 and ODI team needs Umar Akmal and Sarfraz should open in T20 along with a power hitter like Sharjeel.

Latif has one T20 fifty since last year. Sarfraz should've opened.
Why is Riaz playing?

 

[Aoun13]

Looks like a flat pitch with a little turn for spinners and Pakistan is playing with just one regular spinner. I don't know what is Mickey Arthur doing except making faces and doing press conferences.

Nawaz should've played for Wahab.

 

[Aoun13]

I am already loving this sharp captaincy from Sarfraz he is so into it. I hope selectors can see this and make him the next ODI captain too.

 

[Salman.]

Nawaz should've played for Wahab.

Ahem.

Things that I have learnt in this game:

1. Hasan Ali is better than Amir and Gul.
2. Tanvir is a great bowler and deserves more chances.
3. Wahab is better than people suggest.

 

[Umair7]

3. Wahab is better than people suggest.

Nope.One good match in 10 doesn't make him better.

 

[Ahmad94]

Ahem.

Things that I have learnt in this game:

1. Hasan Ali is better than Amir and Gul.
2. Tanvir is a great bowler and deserves more chances.
3. Wahab is better than people suggest.

1. Hasan Ali is very young and inexperienced. Amir and Gul both performed better than Hasan Ali at the start of their respective careers.
2. Tanvir is the most waste of space as he doesn't provide anything new to the team, would be better off with a more genuine bowling all-rounder
3. Wahab has his days, remember he also gave away 110 the other day. You can't guide your decision on his performance based on the ones you liked.

 

[Umair7]

1. Hasan Ali is better than Amir and Gul.

WOW.

 

[Perfect Square]

Outstanding Victory!

 

[Velocity]

Nawaz should've played for Wahab.

And look at what Wahab achieved today

 

[sami ullah khan]

What a difference can a proactive and positive leader make? This victory should showcase the fact that Pakistan have the talent but a sheep can never lead a pack of wolves. Please selectors handover odi captaincy to Sarfaraz. Also I really hope that Hassan Ali blooms into the type of all rounder we need to balance our team test team.

 

[Salman.]

WOW.

You know nothing about cricket. You're here just for negative comments.

 

[Salman.]

Why does Joe Root struggle against Hasan?

 

[Rehan_24]

This is Team Pakistan for you Despite immense criticism and a notion that their One Day and T20 Cricket is over, There are the players, this young team which totally outplayed the World T20 runner ups yesterday. An energetic performance by the entire team. The team looked like so united and up for the contest. Yesterday bowling performance reminded me Pakistan's T20 side hay days of 2009/2010 where strong teams struggled to score against their bowling line-up.

I think Khalid Latif hasn't been provided enough opportunities considering the talent he possessed. Still, Its not too late for him. I remember his debut performances against Newzleand in UAE. He deserves more than to remain in T20 Squad the way he plays. I still have doubts over Sharjeel but if he overcomes some of his technical faults, Boy He can be as lethal as anyone in modern day cricket!

Pakistan ends on a Super High!

PS: Pakistan needs Sarfraz as ODI Captain. Get rid from Azhar Ali. He can be inducted to take role of Younis Khan in the ODI side if he performs well but he is not a captaincy material at all.
