Behan mairey, Clarke is a bona fide test player and established himself as such. Kaif is now playing in the test team as well. If Clarke had’nt scored that debut hundred against India and then again at home, nobody would be talking about him.
Test cricket is the utlimate form of cricket and requires a lot more skills, determination, tempermant and stamina.
ODIs are only talked about anarris who have no knowledge nor appreciation of the game.
There are dime a dozen ODIs being played, in which any idiotic player can perform, i.e. Ganguly who could not even bowl in a club match, taking 5/18 against Pakistan.
Performance in test goes down in history. The only time ODIs matter is in the WC, other then that its garbage and marketing. But I don’t have anything against the ODIs, infact 20/20 is an even better variation of the type.
Miss Mohabbat, please feel free as long as your criticism is within this thread :)
CheGuvera, everybody knows what Test cricket means and what ODIs are, lets leave that for a discussion in separate thread. you can keep bashing Clarke, Ganguly or whomever you like here :)
Razzaq is good for ODIs and should be a member of the ODI 11. He is useless at test level and should not be considered for the test squad. Is this fair enough?
Azhar's praise is natural. Razzaq gave us a chance to even praise Azhar :)
On an analogous note, just like we are all bashing Imran Farhat and praising Taufeeq Umar, I am somewhat afraid that after the next series, we will be after Taufeeq Umar and praising somebody else.
It is easy to criticize the performance of someone and it is even easier to praise someone who did not even get a chance to perform.
His bowling is montonous and pedictable. He gets hit everywhere in ODIs and tests alike.
He bowls way too many no balls.
His body language while balling is also negative. Dropped shoulders, bayzaar shakal, never looking at the field or the batsman or even the ball! just comes and bowls, goes aways, comes back and balls again..... all for the same result :)
ODI kay koi itni value hoti test kay samnay....
test match may comeback karnay ka chance hota hai....
lkn A.Razzak ODI ka zabr10player hai.....
Kenya jaisi team World Cup may semi-final may a gaye.....
kyn kay ODI tha......
aur kia Pakistani ho app log.
apnay he players ki bajatay hain chahay woh perform
karay ya na karay.....
yes, Razzaq's bowling is crap in ODI and tests both and he is not a test material, but he is a must for ODIs for his late inning hittings, but Azhar guarantees nothing better.
