Nazir maybe a crap batsman, but I guess he is suited to the T20 format. However would you really want him in the team because he was involved in kidnapping someone.

Let's not even go there with that comment! You know these things are pre requisites to gaining your place as an international cricketer in Pakistan!!

At least that's an offence that's not actually related to the game.

What?

In a sense, I am sad that Sialkot has won this.. because i have a feeling that shoaib malik maybe added to the 20/20 team and even be elected the captain. Pak team is finally doing a little better... the last thing we need is players like malik and kamran akmal to make a come back.

 

[smash84]

no.....please no khatmal....please

 

[unam]

Imran Nazir should be in T20 and please no more katmal and Malik.

 

[Xuhaib]

why should Nazir be in the side what did he do that others like Shezad, Sazaib, Jamshed and Khalid Latif did not do?

 

[smash84]

yeah.,...Imran Nazir has had plenty of chances and hasn't performed at the international stage

as Xuhaib points out that others have done much the same

 

[Z-Man]

Ian Pont is rubbish, believe me.

He talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.

 

[Z-Man]

Imran Nazir deserves to be atleast in T20 squad ahead of tuk-tuk players.
At the same time, Kami also deserves to be in the squad for his tremendous batting.

I can't understand the hatred he gets. Even Sarafaraz and Umar dropped dolly's in their respective matches, why can't we afford Kami doing that?
His square cuts are

I hope you are not serious

 

[Z-Man]

tell me whose better than Kamran in T20?

 

[smash84]

I'll just quote Ian Chappell on this

"Even if Khatmal was batting like Bradman he wouldn't be able to make up to the side in what he takes away from them through his wicketkeeping"....enough said

 

[Z-Man]

Sure but Bradman played test didn't he?
We are talking about T20 Pajama cricket.

 

[smash84]

if you drop catches in any form of cricket you can expect a royal hiding

remember Ross Taylor in the WC? That wasn't any test match

For a player whose main job is fielding (and not batting) he is severely incompetent and hence thoroughly undeserving of a place in the side

 

[Z-Man]

Hah, now your caught.

Umar Akmal dropped a couple of catches and missed stumpings in the last matches IIRC.
Kamran may drop catches but he also adds 30+40 valuable quick runs.

 

[smash84]

caught at what?

Ukmal batting >>> Khatmal batting

Ukmal keeping > Khatmal keeping

Ukmal kicks khatmal's butt

 

[Z-Man]

U Akmal keeping > Kamran keeping (lol wut?)
U Akmal batting ≥ Kamran Akmal

 

[smash84]

yes you heard me right....

did you know that in his last 3 years (or 4) khatmal missed 86 chances.....

this is the standard that yo uwant?
