Fakhar is Bajwa banda. He’s here to stay, so deal with it. In fact, he’s getting extension.

He is a mediocre batsman

Can never rely on him. And worse we got not one but 4 asif ali in this team if one was not enough

 

[Hyde]

Pakistan don't have hard hitters

But that doesn't mean we should bring in tulla players like Iftikhar, Asif Ali and Khushdil

Babar needs to select people on merit instead of selecting them on his personal like or dislike

He also needs to be more focused on his batting. He looks out of focus when he is batting nowadays

Agreed

That is why I am asking to drop Asif Ali, Khushdil and Iftikhar.

If it is too late as the WC squad deadline is 15th of September tben at least drop Asif and idealy khushdil or Iftikhar but Asif is must

I agree with that

all 3 of these clowns can't be dropped. But at least iftikhar has no place in this team. Same for khushdil

Fakhar needs to be kicked out too. He is an embarrassment now

@Hyde

Also since you have good knowledge of cricket

Can you please explain why Nawaz bowled only one over today? And also why he wasn't sent right after fakhar was out just like India match?

Do you see logic in above two decisions by babar?

Nawaz is a bowler who can bat sometime.

Iftikhar is a batsmen who can bowl sometime but in the last few weeks there was a growing criticism on Babar that he would never bowl Iftikhar and only rely on full time spinners.

Today he decided to test Iftikhar and he ended up a taking a wicket with just 8 runs leaked. Babar probably thought he would be criticised again if he did not give another over to Iftikhar. So he gave him another over in hope of wicket but he was very economical in it giving just 5 runs in it. He was 13 for 1 after 2 overs so Babar decided to give him another over.

He was economical until that moment and giving any over to Iftikhar meant the full time bowlers would not complete their quota. Shadab was already bowling from the other end so only 1 over was left for Nawaz. In my opinion he should have taken one over off from Hasnain and give it to Nawaz

For Nawaz's batting... India was caught by Surprise when Nawaz came on to bat but in my opinion Shadab is a much better all-rounder and should have been sent after Iftikhar got out. Khushdil and Asif are not in form (they have never played good international innings besides hitting 3-4 sixes) which added extra pressure on Shadab and the rest of the team.

We should have sent Shadab at number 4 (I know he was injured multipe times during the match but still, i would trust him more than Khushdil, Asif and Nawaz).

Nawaz I heard came as an opener but Moin Khan encouraged him to focus on bowling instead, he can hit hard but he is not a reliable batsmen.

Babar should bat at 3 and let Fakhar and Rizwan to be the opening pair bring Haider Ali at 4 and Shan Masood at 5 rest of the squad is pretty much bang on.

Iftikhar and Khushdil arent good players they are only there for their power-hitting flukes whilst Haider Ali and Shan Masood are classy players and Asif at 6 makes perfect sense for a power hitter followed by Shadab etc

Babur azam clearly cannot play against a new ball he is very weak when it comes to line and length so naturally batting 1 position later is best for him, Fakhar and Rizwan opening pair

For WC, I would bring Babar back to No 3... And Shan Masood open with Fakhar or Rizwan. I would bring Fakhar/Rizwan back in the middle order to stable the middle order. Something like this

1) Masood
2) Fakhar / Rizwan
3) Babar
4) New Batsmen
5) Shadab
6) Fakhar
7) Rizwan
8) Nawaz
9) Waseem Jnr
10) Shaheen
11) Naseem

So babar just decided to do experiments in bowling right in the final

And even in bowling he decided to do experiment nawaz who was bowling just fine. In short he tried to fix something that was not broken in the first place. MashaAllah

As for not sending Nawaz. I agree nawaz is not a reliable batsman but so is Iftikhar who hasn't done anything in the whole tournament. Iftikhar is as unreliable as nawaz. So when it comes to two unreliable batsmen why not give chance to that guy who has proven successful at least once in the tournament against a strong team like India

This has brainless captaincy written all over it. What was babar smoking today?

Kaun sa nasha kia tha bhai nai?

Fakhar seriously???

Jo banda UAE ki mari hoyi pitches par na chal saka woh Australia ki pitches par kia karai ga???

Kick out fakhar. He is useless and wont get better

Oh bhai you can't just promote players down the order based on 1 or 2 innings
Shan Masood should come at 4 or 5 with Haider Ali.

1)Rizwan
2)Fakhar
3)Babar
4) Haider
5)Shan Masood
6)Asif Ali
7)Nawaz
8)Shadab
9)Naseem
10)Rauf
11)Shaheen

Iftikhar and Khusdhil need to go you cant have 3 power hitters at 4, 5 and 6.

You need proper bastmen at 4 and 5 with a power hitter at 6.
