Re: 3rd ODI Pakistan vs England - Sep. 17, 2010
What you wrote is requirement of the situation. Else, Fawad has highest ODI average than any Pakistani player and has decent SR too. For instance, very few Pakistani players have SR better than Fawad.
Pakistani ODI Player whose average is above 40 with SR
Fawad Alam: Ave: 45 … SR: 75
Zaheer Abbas: Ave: 47 … SR: 84
Mohammed Yusuf: Ave: 42… SR: 75
Jawaid Miandad: Ave: 41 … SR: 67
Fawad is a very good fielder too.
Pakistani Players with Ave over 30 and their SR over 70 (look the difference).
Umar Akmal: Ave 39 … SR: 85
Misbah-ul-Haq: Ave 39 … SR 81
Saeed Anwar: Ave 39 … SR 80
Abdul Razzak: Ave 30 … SR: 80
Ijaz Ahmed: Ave 32 … SR: 80
Shoaib Malik: Ave 34 … SR: 78
Shoaib Malik: Ave 34 … SR: 78
Saleem Malik: Ave 32 … SR: 76
Salman Butt: Ave 36 … SR: 76
Basit Ali: Ave 34 … SR: 75
Majid Khan: Ave 37 … SR: 74
Inzamam-ul-Haq: Ave 39 … SR: 74
Imran Khan: Ave 32 … SR: 72
Saleem Ilahi: Ave 36 … SR: 71
Imran Farhat: Ave 31 … SR: 70
Some other reasonable ODI players … look at their average and SR:
Waseem Raja … Ave 22 … SR: 66
Aamer Sohail … Ave 31 … SR: 65
Ramaiz Raja … Ave 32 … SR: 63
Now … why you or anyone thinks Fawad deserve to be in the team any less than other names?
