Pakistan tour of West Indies 2017

[Proudpakistaniguy]

People criticizing Baber Azam remind me of people criticizing Youngish Khan and Misbah ul Haq!!!

Misbah ul haq got labell of tuck tuck for a reason..while this tuck tuck worked in test matches but it did not help in winning one day matches for Pakistan ..what was the ranking of one day team when misbah left?

 

[WAJsal]

Azhar is relatively better.

I agree and we can't miss Sarfaraz. I think Shafiq will go up to 4, they should drop Babar to number 4 in test. Azhar, sami Aslam, missing a number 3, Shafiq, Babar, Sarfaraz...
how about Haris Sohail, i liked him a lot before he got injured.

Khuda key bandey, he basically gave Pakistan Cricket whatever respect it has today. Restoring faith of millions of fans in Pakistan is another story and it includes me...

I will prefer at least two or may be even three new faces in there. Replace guys like Shafiq, Sami Aslam and Haris with better players as soon as they are available. They lack the class and elegance that a proper test batsman need. A proper test batsman is someone the opposition will fear to bowl against. Our ODI team/squad is taking up shape nicely, will love to see an genuine pacer out there along with Amir. Hassan Ali, no doubt how many wickets he gets will remain a pace bowler only in Indian category. Pak pace is 150-155+
AND WE NEED SOME FKING ALL ROUNDERS. Preferable some med paces, boy we need an Abdul Razzaq and Azhar Mahmood. Shadab can be one leg spinner all rounder.

Is he the only one to blame?

Has Pakistan runout of Power hitters, some big hitters like Pollard or Chris Gayle?

No but offcourse when captain take credit for winning then he should also take responsibility of losing as well..

Pakistan won 24 Tests under Misbah in 48 matches compared to just 12 in their 48 Tests before his tenure

But story is different for one days and t20

Yaar hmari awam tu chalti he tullay pa ha,, i wonder why none of them are making it to the team. We need one or may be even two good medium pacers who can hit it bag with bat on there day.

 

[Green Arrow]

Well, the things which Pakistan is missing the most are the big power hitters. Also Fawad Alam was a good talent but PCB ruined him as well.

Bring back lala, none of your current batsmen has the strength to muscle the ball out of the ground, that Imad guy is over rated, I don't see him having a better prospect, heck even Wahab riaz in his rare non-moronic days bats better than him. Hafizz is a dud, Shehzaad eats up like truckloads of delivery, Kami has always been shit, Malik and sarfraz are like Misbah with better strike rates, good accumulators but just don't have the firepower to chase down big total. The only breath of fresh air among all these passengers and tuktukers, is Babar, I hope PCB does not ruin him by screwing with his batting spot.

Misbah is a legend, people who don't acknowledge that either have no idea about cricket or lovers of Afridiesque mediocrity, his strike rates would have been far better if he did not have to bat at 30/5 or 25/4 like situations, one of the cleanest hitter of the ball, one of the few from subcontinent to handle swing well, one of the very few players of the game that I truly respect.

Time to move on and rebuild the team. We have succeeded in finding babar, hassan and shadab, and it's time to blood some more young players. We should drop shahzad, akmal, malik, amir, Junaid and wahab from the T20 and ODI formats, and that is why I think WI are doing the right things by giving young players a chance to test their abilities v other countries.

We have 3 uncapped batsmen in this ODI tour. If one of them doesn't make a debut today, it's a SHAME!

 

[Hafiz-Zafar]

Really looking forward to seeing Babar Azam the next big bating star.

It is the series decider. Do not expect them to come in. Plus who will they replace?

Replacement for Hafeez or Shehzad. Believe it or not but these two guys actually play for the West Indies.

Is there an opener in the three new players you mentioned? He should have been given a chance.

Anyway, NOT NOW. This is a series decider, we won the last game. I expect an unchanged side. Remember that this is a very important series for world cup 2019 qualification.
