PCB annouces sqauds for SA tour

Yes Steve Waugh was poor against the short pitched when he started out, but he solved problem-and there is a big fifference is ducking a bouncer from Ambrose, Walsh, Imran Khan, Wasim and co then being scarred of an Andrew caddick bouncer.

SW was widely regarded as a major talent, and from the footage I've seen over the years of him, esp during the "Ashes Gold" shows on Sky Sports, of that period of was a brilliant driver, played straight and could cut.

Faisal Iqbal can do very little. Besides, once SW's nerves settled in the test arena, runs came like a flood.

Steve Waugh never solved the problem, he just learnt to live wid it and score in his fav areas!
Well Today Faisal showed people like you that he can play pull shots! He is a good driver of the ball, plays striahgt and fierce square cutter! But you wont agree coz you didnt ge tto see todays innings as well. He has all the makings of a successful batsman and 'yes when he settles down in test arena, runs will come like a flood!

mo best? talkin abt sami? look wht he got? 4 wickets... and faisal iqbal?... his maiden century!!! i told ya! they just need a chance and they will not let it down! PAK RULZ!

and Kamran Akmal is doin a good job! achi keepring kar raha hai! and a nice batsman 2!

Yeah I'm sorry Faisal Iqbal is brilliant, he's better then Don Bradman and George Headly, forget Steve Waugh, I remember Faisal's 300 against Australia when he led us to a rampant 3-0 whitewash of Australia, that followed his 70 ball ton in SA. :rotfl"

SW improvised in his situation, he can pull, not hook, but now cuts hookable balls high over the slips down to the (usually vacant) 3rd man area. Faisal Iqbal just hasnt impressed me yet, he has had a few decent kncosk, but he must do it against good sides consistantly.

hehehe! just watche'm in the SA tour....

Mashallah! bhai yeh aap ney kaun si cricket key score batayen hain? ya aap ney doosri cricket invent ki hai? akheer hai bhai!

Man I dont understand Urdu but that was me taking the p***-sarcasm?

Faisal would be lucky to score 30 against those teams.

well there is no middle way for you i think either don bradman or chappel; or a mere loser !!
Well yeah Faisal has impressed the most of cricketing world but lagta hai he shold personally apologize to you ke aap ko abhi tuk impress nahi kar saka :rotfl:

wht can i do if u dun understand urdu?
if the young players (example: faisal iqbal) will play against zimbabwe and score some runs, then only they can b qualify for big tours like SA and all!

So who has he exactly impressed?

And irrespective, I make my own decisions, and stick by them. I know Cricket, I can judge a man on my own criteria-you absorb pre-made opinions, its all you can do. :)

Ofcourse when you hear about someone, you watch out for him and for your information, i have played with Faisal and didnt like him that time but he has imprved a lot! hmm seems u r so stubborn, Yo will not watch any match live perhaps and if he scores again you wont be impressed at all !! Cool logic :rotfl: Best of luck to you!!
