Re: Pakistan won 2nd odi
A hugely under rated player...Razzaq shut his critics up tonight ...at least that should do it for a little while . Shani just praised Fawad ... common dude if s.africa had scored 10 more runs ... it would all come down to fawad ...he scored 48 off almost 70 balls ...if you are not a boundary hitter , that's fine , in this format you either have to be a batsman with powerful hitting or at least be an artist enough to rotate strike on constant basis ... he couldn't time the ball on most occasions , plays too far from his body and how he mostly gets out is horrible for international standards . If they need to keep him in the side , he needs to open the batting . He is no long term replacement for Umar Akmal ...that too when you are preparing for world cup . If it wasn't for Razzaq , we would've lost the game by more than 50 runs . Razzaq played a gem , a dream BUT he can't , no one can do that in every game . Misbah doesn't belong in ODI team , not on current form . Shoaib needs a rest .... the need to open bowling with Razzaq and wahab , umar gul first change and then the 2 spinners . Oh and if they need a real chance in world cup ... they need to play a wild card and that is Imran Nazir ...if he succeeds in 30 percent of the games , you know you have already won 30% of your games ... you just gotta work on the rest of 70% .... Lot of you may disagree with me but it's a very sorry looking score card if you take out Razzaq's innings. We need more than one match winner ...and Zulqarnain Haider ? for god's sake , in his brief career he has multiple missed stumping , few mised catches already ...if that's all we can have behind the stumps ..at least Kamran can score a few quick ones ?
Ideally if younus has to be batting from ball number 7 , 8 or 9 in every game anyways ... then why not open with him ? It was Razzaq's night , I hope he has many more like that ...but we need the other 10 clowns stepping up as well.
