Hafeez kia kar raha hain?
Can anybody tell me why the worst opener in ODIs (in major teams) has made a comfy spot for himslef at the top?
People keep bashing Nazir. If Nazir fails, at least he hasn't eaten up too many deliveries. If he partially succeeds, he lays the platform with a nice quick cameo. If he succeeds, admittedly unlikely, then we have a potentially matchwinning innings.
Hafeez is only in the team for 10 overs of offspin. Fine, use him as a bowler. Just make sure he doesn't bat above Rana.
It's not just the runs but also how many overs you survive. Hafeez looks more assured than Nazir, besides, he compensates for a lot with his excellent bowling. I dont know if you were noticing, but he has been taking 2-3 wickets in nearly every game.
