***Unofficial*** Fawad Alam discussion thread

[Agent Nationaux]

Kambli was never a hard worker and didn't put the effort in. Can't say the same about Fawad.

 

[salman85]

I was responding to his 'he averages xyz' argument.If we're going to go by averages,then there are batsman in Pakistan who should be ahead of Fawad in the pecking order.But going by averages is the wrong way.I don't want to sound like i hate Fawad,because i don't.He's a decent batsman,but there is no way in hell that he is as good as slowfinger makes him out to be.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

From what he has achieved, he deserves a chance in the team.

 

[slowfinger]

he is the man I make him out the be... He just, isn't very 'boom boom'

 

[slowfinger]

omg guys, I just had the weirdest dream... Pakistan was playing a test and we needed like 300 more to win... Alam scored I think 114 to save us the match and everyone was posting about him here... Im scared now...

 

[Agent Nationaux]

I hope that comes true.

 

[Howe_zat]

As I wasn't properly following Pakistan cricket back then, what was the thinking behind his dropping in 2009?

 

[salman85]

He was dropped in 2010.After the SA series if im not wrong.

He was dropped because he was isn't good enough for the ODI format.Simple.Doesn't pack enough muscle.

 

[Howe_zat]

Curious

 

[slowfinger]

Because Malil was SO MUCH Better... why in tests aswell?

 

[salman85]

Because Asad,Azhar,Younis,Misbah,Hafeez and Taufeeq are all better players.

 

[slowfinger]

hard to say when you give a guy a match to prove his worth

 

[Agent Nationaux]

LOL at Toffee being better. He can't even play spin.

 

[slowfinger]

I am a little restless now... Our order collapsed yesterday and yet we can't have a solid player who values his wicket.... Fawad, we need you!

 

[slowfinger]

President Trophy Cup.. Scores 466 runs... Still not selected.

Yeah because nearly 500 runs doesn't justify a selection whereas having family/paying the selectors does...

Fawad Alam on cricinfo :

Fawad Keen To Make Comeback

Thoughts?

 

[slowfinger]

Never got much support on this. Hardly check these days but his recent axing just made me lose the plot completely. This is pure discrimination from the PCB.

 

[OverratedSanity]

He didn't look that good to me the recent odis tbh.

 

[smash84]

yeah, but he should definitely be in the odi side. There is some problem that PCB seem to have with him

 

[ajdude]

it's his monobrow imo.
