Re: 3rd ODI, Pakistan vs South Africa at Faislabad, Oct 23
^ definetly agree with that. Misbah should be coming up the order.
But I don't agree with Yasir Hameed coming in the squad. If they play Khalid Latif or Khurram Manzoor, then i'm fine with Nazir being dropped, but I don't want these tried and tested failures to be given more chances, like Hameed, Butt, Taufeeq, etc. Instead of all these, I'd rather have Nazir...cuz he is as incosistant as the rest, yet when he fires, it pretty much assures a win for Pakistan. Plus he's a brilliant fielder, by far the best fielder in all of Pakistan, and with Pakistan's recent fielding display, he could probably make it to the team just on his fielding skills.
Hameed is a very selfish player...whether Pakistan will be chasing 400 or 100, he'll play his own way. Plus, like all other openers, he has a big problem fishing outside his offstump and his weaknesses were clearly proven by SA bowlers on the SA tour before WC 2007. He failed miserbly there, and I watched all those matches and his technique is horrible to say the least. Yea he looks pretty when he drives through the covers, but not so pretty when he edges it to the keeper or to the slips. He also is very prone to being LBW cuz of his technique.
Yaar tum log kis tarha kishi ko selfish bol sakty ho......is tarha tu Yousuf bhi apni century k liya slow ho jata hai....example last match ki lay lo.....Run out wo bhi karwata hai sab ko..........ek hazar misaalain hain..........pehlay background pata karo us player ka phir koi LAQAAB do us ko.......Aur uper bhaisahab bol rahy hain Khurram ko chance do...yaar phir say wohi galti 19 20 saal k larkay ko foran ek do series acha khelney per Pakistan kheela do aur career tabah kar do...........bhai 3 saal atleast chooro us ko.....
