Yes, according to LG ICC Player ranking. So his magical bowling spells and fearless batting display against Zimbabwe earned him that status? :smack:

Re: Shoaib Malik is the top ODI Allrounder - WTH???
I always knew he was better than Jacque kallis! LOL
Re: Shoaib Malik is the top ODI Allrounder - WTH???
only by few points. kallis will easily kick malik’s tiny butt to #2 in no time. he is playing against the mighty bengalis 
Re: Shoaib Malik is the top ODI Allrounder - WTH?????

*Getting meaningless runs and wickets in matches against Zimbabwe is something I would never ever be proud of (let's not even talk about the humiliating "lap of honour" initiated by Mr. faltoo kaptaan after the win over the mighty Zimbabweans). *

Yes indeed we should all be looking forward to some match-winning performances against the Aussies by the best all-rounder in the world :)

Bro, we can disagree about his captaincy. I agree! But why do we project his average performance to be bad by including his captaincy skills & abilities?

I actually did mention how he scored meaningless runs and took fazool wickets vs a pathetic Zimbabwean side. His performances against big teams have been ordinary, specially in test matches (where he is also the captain, mind you).
Re: Shoaib Malik is the top ODI Allrounder - WTH?????
Some a you lot just like to hate for the sake of hating...whatever his frailties in the test arena his one day form is pretty good...hes definitely been one our better one day batsmen and he tends to chip in with good spells...in this format of the game hes one of the best cricketer around...

He is a successful one-day tulla cricketer, with no cricketing intelligence. He needs to stay away from the test team and specially the captaincy role. I'll have no complains with this ordinary cricketer if that were to happen.
Re: Shoaib Malik is the top ODI Allrounder - WTH?????
I dun like shoaib malik as a captain ...and he is offcourse not a test cricketer !!! i wud say razzaq is better .>>> alot better as captain, batsman or all rounder

Yeh 1st take away 20 yrs off, of his current age then talk abt him playing as a captain :D
Re: Shoaib Malik is the top ODI Allrounder - WTH?????
^ oh u think he's too old for captaincy ? come on first of all i think more experinced make a better captain ... 2ndly the scare of age comes when person is abt to retire....i think razzaq has good 7-10 yrs of playing international cricket ... unless he is permanently banned for playing in ICL
Re: Shoaib Malik is the top ODI Allrounder - WTH?????
yeh, he may be a better captain dan malik but why nt give others chance? why jst stik wid 1 captain the hole tym god knows malik might prove u guys rong!
Re: Shoaib Malik is the top ODI Allrounder - WTH?????
yaar come on be serious .... he isnt even a test batsman and he is captain,
its just like the time younis khan didnt desrve spot in ODI's yet he was vice captain.
There are chances the malik might imporve his test batting but wait till then and then decide. I dunno y i said he might improve but there are very few chances :).
