What Pakistan's ODI Team Should Be

Sharjeel scores in 1 match out of 5 so very inconsistent. Khalid Latif has just scored in 1 t20 that's it!! Let him establish himself!! Sarfraz everyone likes him he is very good but Rizwan should be there as backup keeper in all formats to him!!

 

Bro I'm an ethnic Sindhi. Don't even get me started about Sindh. Like you said, no grounds, no academies, no international matches other than Karachi, except for once in a decade match in Hyderabad. Only one match was held in Hyderabad since 90s, even though Pakistan could host till 2009. And Sindh is as safe as any part of Pakistan; we're sufis and secular who don't suicide bomb and shit.

My family is a great success story btw. My grandpa was a poor man. No one had left the village, until my uncle and then dad left for Karachi. My family later moved to the US from Karachi, one uncle became a bureaucrat and another is on the board of directors for the biggest news channel. We're now called "the other waderas" in our village lol. Many others from interior Sindh have also moved to Karachi for opportunities.

I complain about Karachi because the city has players ready to play for Pakistan but most of them are ignored most of the times anyway. Complaining about lack of cricket infrastructure and initiative by PCB in Sindh is almost useless.

 

152 vs Ireland ODI
58 vs England ODI
59 vs England T20I

Sharjeel is pretty consistent for a team so inconsistent, it's sitting at number 9.

Khalid has scored in just 1 t20. Others have failed in dozens of t20s.

Rizwan is the best fielder in Pakistan. He's a specialist 12th man, a back up batsman, and a back up keeper, so he's not going anywhere.

 

Fawad Alam is must in the middle order.

 

You do have a gift for speaking out your mind and you can be quite ferocious at times.

Where abouts in US you live? I got several relatives settled there.

 

What about other 4 ODI's in which he failed!

 

This isn't Pakistan team this is karachi team having all 15 from karachi

No Imad no amir

1. Sami Aslam
2. Azhar Ali
3. Hafeez
4. Asad Shafiq
5. Fawad Alam (C)
6. Sarfraz (VC)
7. Amir
8. Wahab Riaz / Asghar
9. Umar Gul
10. Yasir Shah
11. Mohd Irfan

Reserves: Sohail Khan, Asghar, Usama Mir, Harris Sohail, Rizwan, Umar Akmal, Ahmed Shahzad.

@Wasim Okay? Two Karachi players as Captain and Vice Captain purely on merit!!

 

Terrible team, there's 7 players who shouldn't be in the ODI team.

Sami Aslam, Azhar, Hafeez, Shafiq, Gul, Yasir and Irfan.

Where are the players who done well recently in England, Sharjeel and Hassan Ali?

 

They did well and team lost! Sharjeel failed in 4 innings of the odi series and clicked in 3 matches, 1 of them against Ireland. Hassan Ali was good but he was average not match-winning!! On the other end, Irfan and Gul with their experience can make an impact and contribute towards bowling out teams for less totals than we are currently conceding!

 

Between them they'll bowl 14 overs 2-110.

Irfan 5 overs 2-30 and Gul 9 overs for 80.

 

Tuk Tuk XI. Misbah would be proud of this team.

 

When Irfan is fully fit, he can return to the team and I am sure he can make a lot of difference even now!! Otherwise, we must induct Sohail Khan in his place and Hassan Ali in reserves!

 

Fully fit Irfan or even 90% fit Irfan is a great asset for the team!!

 

It's ok, I used to think like this 18 months ago too. Have to realise there's no such thing as fully fit with Irfan.

 

Shoaib Akhtar ko bhi hum jhelte the na kisi na kisi tarha kaam lete the aur Irfan mein koi badmaashi nahi hai!!

 

As opposed to whom?

Hahaha you expect this tuk tuk brigade to chase 444 LMAO

I'd kick Azhar out first of all, and replace him with Khalid. Sami Aslam was already replaced, so Sharjeel is better.

Hafeez is finished, so I'd replace him another aggressive batsman like Shahzaib.

So so far we have:

Sharjeel
Khalid
Shahzaib

Agree with Asad, Fawad and Sarfraz who are solid yet dynamic enough to not crap their pants like chokers from a certain province once daunted with a target.

For fast bowlers, I'd prefer bowlers who can actually swing, not just carry reputation for it. Also someone who hasn't fixed or goes for 110 runs lmao.

For a spinner, I wouldn't have a test specialist like Yasir Shah. I'd replace him with a younger kid, who has a good econ. rate and strike rate. An all rounder wouldn't hurt either.

So taking all that into consideration this would be my XI:

Sharjeel
Khalid
Shahzaib
Asad
Fawad
Sarfaraz
Akbar-ur-Rehman
Sami
Sohail
Shahzaib Ahmed
Mir Hamza

 

444 baneinge to chase karo ge na!! With my bowling attack, most you will be chasing is 150-200~~

 

Around Los Angeles these days. That way whenever cricket lets me down, I can go stalk Kardashians because it sounds like Karachians and because the sheer magnitude of her rear cheers me up.

 

LMAO wasn't it the same attack that conceded 444? You're the biggest TTF fan ever. Gul and Irfan lol.

 

So? Is Karachi in India? Is there a problem if all 15 people happen to be from Karachi? With 25 million population - 1 in 7 Pakistanis live in Karachi - is it really impossible to imagine all the best cricketers coming from Karachi? Is there a quota system that says we have to have players from Punjab? If there is a quota system, why do we currently have 5 potential fixers from Lahore in the national team for 1 clutch player from Karachi in Sarfraz?

 

No it wasnt the same attack./ That attack had tullas like Imad Wasim and Nawaz who allowed batsmen to get in plus Hassan Ali as well and no Gul or Irfan in that attack!!

 

O bhai open ur eyes and see is there any talented bowler who can match Mohammad amir capabilities

Is there any excellent spin all rounder who equally Imad wasim talent first see which players u have mentioned apart from 2 or 3 none of them are international material.

Karachi cricketers are generally the worst!! Only great cricketer from Karachi - Saeed Anwar!! Rest who were good from Karachi were pathans like Afridi, Younus etc!!

 

So what if I ignored a few talented players from Punjab? PCB ignores every talented player from Karachi all the time. Why didn't you speak out then?

 

What a stupid statement to make. First of all, Afridi sucks. A tullaybaaz who wouldn't have played for 20 years in his beloved India or any other major country. So overrated. Obviously he isn't one of the Karachi players who can complain that he was ignored.

Younis has never played for Karachi. He just lives in Karachi. So we don't even take credit for him.

So Hanif Mohammad, Miandad, Zaheer Abbas, Asad Shafiq, Moin, Rashid, Sarfraz and the ignored ones like Fawad Alam, Hasan Raza, Asim Kamal etc. are all worst cricketers?

Imran Farhats, Akmals, Shehzads, Maliks, Butts, Toolboxes and all the shit cricketers and fixers who got way more chances than Karachi players are better? That's why Pakistan is at number 9?

Are you even Karachian or have you been systematically programmed that you're inferior?

 

really ? you are very dumb to post that

 

What kind of biased mentality is this man...?! No wonder Pakistan is not prospering. It is attitudes like this that hinder progress!

 

Stop overhyping Amir. Sooner or later, a bowler better than him will arrive.

 

Karachi cricketers have been good but none of them has been as great as Saeed Anwar - talking about 90s and 00s and current era!! Fawad Alam, Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz are decent but are still not all time greats of past like likes of Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Saeed Anwar and Shoaib Akhtar and Saqlain etc@@ Rashid and Moeen were good but they were wicket-keepers and wicket-keepers are often taken for granted in my opinion as they dont tangibly contribute to team's success like batsmen or bowlers!!
Asim Kamal was really special and next Inzamam in my opinion and great injustice was done to him just like treatment metted out to Fawad Alam currently but still he did not make it as all time great for whatever reason!!

 

I dont have inferiority complex!! I hate Karachi cus of Altaf Hussain's antics and people who still support him even after his Pakistan Murdabad slogans!!

 

So Karachi cricketers have to be all time greats like Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Saeed, Akhtar and Saqi? Are Imran Farhats, Butts, Akmals, Shehzads, Maliks, Hafeezs, Kukris, Azhars, Maqsoods as great as those legends? What kinda stupid logic is that? If you're too thick to get it, you select your best current players from the country. You don't wait till an Imran or Saeed shows up, genius.

 

Yeah I had a feeling that you hate Karachi. Where are you originally from? And why don't you go back to where you're from if you hate Karachi for whatever reason? Even if you were unfortunate enough to have been born in Karachi, have you considered moving away?

If Karachi = MQM, then Pakistan = terrorist country like everyone in the world thinks. What stereotyping. My family was assaulted in the late 80s by MQM but even I know that they don't represent Karachi. If they did, we'd have moved instead of living like ungrateful leaches and hating the entire city.

As for Pakistan murdabad slogans, it's called freedom of speech and everyone has a right to express anger. If millions of people like you can decide to live in Karachi and hate it, why can't Karachians who don't even want to be part of Pakistan express their feelings? Like I said, feel free to leave. Guggu Mundi is nice I heard. You'll have a better chance of being selected for Pakistan if you roll your arm in Guggu Mundi.

 

Her rear is so big, I was able to make my Son sit on it!

Of course on rear of her life size statue at Madam Tussaud's in London.

 

Altaf Hussain is not Lord of Karachi and nobody supports him. He is stuck to Karachi like a blood sucking leech just like Nawaz is abusing Punjab and Zardari owns the Sind.

They are criminals and crooks who have hijacked their respective people and occupied their lands through force, violence, murder and corruption.

You love Imran Khan so much, what happened to him in Punjab in last election?

Wake up and smell the coffee bro, and look at the broader picture, dont shut your eyes from the reality.

 

Frankly there is no excuse for Pakistan murdabaad slogans. That was an extremely deplorable, atrocious and pathetic act from an equally wile, heinous and traitorous person.

 

I could swear you are from Karachi???????

 

You are correct. @Shahzad.Firdous is from Karachi

 

Some people feel isolated. It's easy to blame them instead of listening to their issues I guess. If one of your sons despises you, maybe you've been a bad father to him. Taali do haath se bajti hai. No smoke without a fire.

 

Obviously he doesn't have roots here. Millions of Afghans live in Karachi, and all over Pakistan, without a shred of loyalty. Anyway, the great news is that if you don't like a city, you can always move to another one. Unfortunately, that's not the case if you don't like a country. If you don't like a country, you must carve out your own, like Pakistan did out of India. We'd be hypocrites to call some people freedom fighters and others traitors for doing the same thing.
