May be Faisal Iqbal isnt that bad after all???

[muhammad saad]

Seeing Azhar Ali , Umar Amin and Umar Akmal it is quiet evident that almost every pak batsmen is inept against swing bowling this made me realize that Faisal Iqbal is not that bad after all because he is just as crap as the rest against swing bowling and to be honest I think Faisal got more shots in his armoury then Umar Amin and Azhar Ali . (But may be the later two arent suffering from brain fart like Faisal )

Your opinion?

[Atif]

Lol you are going to get slated for creating this thread...

[muhammad saad]

lol I am not saying bring him in the team (as there are atleast 10 more better batsman than him in our domestic) but i dont think he is as bad as it is seem on PP. (I would put him in the Nazir , Farhat ,Hameed ,Malik ,Kamran level)

Malik and Kamran are well out of form, on their days they can be very destructive..

Well even on form Malik and Kamran atmost can only do destructive shi* in these conditions.

Oh cmon mate if you dont consider his brain fart problem i think he is as talented as Kamran , Malik ,Hameed ,Farhat and co. (Oh yea he will struggle big time in these condition like all other crappy pak batsmen)

[Amjid Javed]

Faisal has been shown to be a sitting duck in such condtions in the past.

[akafen]

Faisal Iqbal averages 43 at home. He's played only 6 of his 44 innings in Pakistan the rest have been played away from home.

[Prince_Pathan]

awesome

[Friend786]

pathetic thread !

no not ahead of him in tests

[Sledger]

Neither is Misbah, obviously himself and Iqbal would have scored double centuries each on this wicket. I just hope they haven't burnt their cricket equipment before it's too late to get them on the first flight to Heathrow.

Yes, and when they are not they are more destructive for the team

[Sohail Khan]

Well OP of this thread has a point. I think if his sifarish is any good, he would be in team along with Farhat and Malik. His relationship with Mainadad is actually hurted his chances rather than help him selected in his career. He is always choosen as a stop gap arrangement to fill places for injured players. Never given a consistent run. I would take him anytime over Malik in test cricket. Unfortunately he grew up as batsman in the era of Inzi, Yousuf, Younis etc.. and he places are not justified if these players are available.

[Sohail Khan]

Same is true for Malik and others in the team.

[IM NOT YOU]

faisal iqbal wouldn't make it past single digit in these conditions...


and by single digit i mean 1.

[Pakistani93]

Faisa iqbal should be nowhere near the team, he is simply not good enough

[Sohail Khan]

Originally Posted by IM NOT YOU faisal iqbal wouldn't make it past single digit in these conditions... and by single digit i mean 1.

Come on, man. Don't be too harsh on this poor guy. He won't be any bad than the Akmals, Amin, Maliks.........This is the point of the OP, I guess.

[IM NOT YOU]

Originally Posted by Sohail Khan Come on, man. Don't be too harsh on this poor guy. He won't be any bad than the Akmals, Amin, Maliks.........This is the point of the OP, I guess.

yes this is true but AT LEAST akmals, malik have helped win games for pakistan before... may be not really in the test format but ...


they have done a lot more for pakistan than faisal iqbal has thats for sure.
hell i dont remember the last time faisal iqbal made a significant knock in any format of cricket at any level in his life.

i know its harsh but faisal iqbal deserves all the criticism he can get. hes just horrible man.

[Black Zero]

But I love his confidence while batting.

[AZ]

Faisal Iqbal is and always will be a failure, God knows how many deserving players were ignored for this piece of crap over the past decade.

[Pakistani93]

Well there is one thing Bhanja is good for and that is sledging. i remember him sledging trescothick and few ball later tresco got out. So he is useful in that department i guess

[Gollum]

Trust me Faisal Iqbal is bad. Now close the case and throw away the key in the Arabian Sea!

The are hyped by our special friends on PP. Special treatment is guranteed if you belong to certain geographical area. Bitter truth, but it is what it is........

You mean he is the only who blocked the way of deserving players. Isn't Kami doing the same for years now. How many years did he need to improve his skills?????

[AZ]

Kamran barring few catastrophic displays has been a good player for Pakistan.

Faisal Iqbal has never even done that.

[Dr_Bassim]

I personally think Faisal is not cut out for test level.

But still , Kamran akmal has been given a gazillion chances. Surely if Faisal stayed in the team as long as Kami , he would also play once in a blue moon match winning innings like Kami.

I sincerely doubt that.

[fawad_wellwisher]

In his own mind, F Iqbal must be thinking he is better than the 2 youngster presently in the team.

Whether he would be right is another question but just goes to show how these kind of adhoc selection policies can make even the undeserving think themseleves to be deserving players.

[Sohail Khan]

[Cheguvera]

Wrong, barring a few exceptions where he played good, Kami has been a CATASTROPHE for Pakistan all in all...

He single handedly cost Pakistan the series in England in 2006, had major role in the series loss in South Africa, cost us a guranteed win in Aus for the first time in 14 years, and a potential series win, which woud have been the first ever, and now has contributed to the worst display in England ever...and these are his major blunders, with numerous little ones interspersed ever since his debut...

Plus, he single handedly destroyed one of Pakistan's better bowlers and also was an oath taking co-consipirator and buddy of the Rasputin of Pakistan cricket Mr. Malaak Saab...

A Category 5 CATASTROPHE...

[dilojaanpakistan]

Originally Posted by mamoo gogo but, but...they are classy, and a treat to watch...who cares if they score runs or not...

no they are from you know where and plus they are great mate with capp and PCB..

remember Kami is being hail as great cricket by our great cappo...

what is the benchmark for bieng great?

[Dr_Bassim]

Originally Posted by dilojaanpakistan no they are from you know where and plus they are great mate with capp and PCB.. remember Kami is being hail as great cricket by our great cappo... what is the benchmark for bieng great?

In Pakistan , if you strike 30 odd runs after every 5 matches, you are great.

And if you strike 4's and 6's every 5 matches to get 20 odd, you are superb.

And if you strike one odd fifty or hundred after 20 games, which sends fans into raptures , you are considered a legend.

Hope that satisfies your query.

[SOSami]

One thing about Faisal is that he has always been willing to take a beating for the team. Whether it's batting at No3 or standing at short leg he was a fighter.

Pity he wasn't ever good enough with the bat because if he was his fighting qualities would be a useful addition to any team.

[SOSami]

Seriously?????!!!!!!

Forget Malik, the road to all losses in recent times lead to Kamran.

[dilojaanpakistan]

and then we ask how we create shoaib akhtar?

some of these guys in the team would have been out for their attitude, let alone performence...just look what aus did to one of their best player, Andrew Symond..

[AZ]

Originally Posted by SOSami Seriously?????!!!!!! Forget Malik, the road to all losses in recent times lead to Kamran.

did we lost the 1st Test at Lord's because of him?

[SOSami]

Originally Posted by Ahmed Zulfiqar did we lost the 1st Test at Lord's because of him?

Nope. That was umpiring, although he did make a duck in the first innings when even a 30 would have helped immeasurably.

Let me re-phrase it "Forget Malik, the road to most losses in recent times leads to Kamran"

[Blitz]

We need an average honest fielder!

[Desire]

haha..

[cryptkeeper*]

lmao






uh, no.

[ThaSiccSense]

This is poor, are you trying to compare Iqbal with the incomparable Sami.

[TigerJat]

he is below average, so he doesn't count

[Blitz]

Thats an excellent thread opportunity.

[Amoeba]

Steady on..........you're going too far! Whatever next - bring back Junaid Zia?
On a serious note Faisal is obviously connected to Ibrahim Dawood so probably not the wisest move.

[shehzadd]

If we include faisal iqbal into Pak team than who will clean his shitt off the pitch.

[Gollum]

Faisal Iqbal over Mohammad Hafeez any day!!!

[ThaSiccSense]

Originally Posted by Blitz Thats an excellent thread opportunity.

This thread is going to backfire, PCB are looking at it closely and will draft him in for one days. I'll have last laugh.

[zaid65]

Give me any match fixer over Faisal Iqbal or Sami.

People who support Faisal Iqbal and Sami are bigger disgrace to the country.

[Amjid Javed]

Am sure Iqbal will return at some point! I even think he will be pakistan captain one day!

Not that i agree with his re-selection!

[Acim]

Faisal Iqbal.






hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

[ThaSiccSense]

People who support honest cricketers rather than cheats are disgraces, sounds logical.

[Desi_Joker]

At least that's not as perplexing as Mohammad Hafeez who at best just manages to equal a tail-enders average, but is yet going to open in the ODI series for Pakistan.

[Amoeba]

Anyway don't need either Sami or Faisal. Rao is a much better bat and bowler than either.

[srh]

If I am not agreeing with Faisal Iqbal's selection that does not mean I agree with Mohammad Hafeez's selection. Infact I think Mohammad Hafeez's record is worst than Faisal Iqbal. Both are ****** players.

[TigerJat]

hafeez wouldn't have made the squad, had butt been available.

He is still better than Faisal and Sami. he can bowl a little bit.

Hafeez averages almost 34 in tests.

[haroonrasheed320]

Are you Faisal Iqbal?

[cric_crazy]

wow wt a paindoo mentality u have.....I am in support of each and every player who doesn't sell their country for few dollars be it faisal or xyz......but ppl like u r the reason why we have a president like zardari and match fixers like butt and co......

trust me he is that bad

[TigerJat]

faisal iqbal only got this far due to being Javed Miandad's nephew, but even that can only get you so many international appearances.

Same thing for Junaid Zia, ****** can only do so much.

Kamran Akmal is the only known case that I know where the player hasn't been dropped after so many bad performances.

[DragonTide]

Faisal Iqbal is a pretty changed batsman now actually. During the tour in Aus in the winter he got some pretty solid starts but threw his wicket away on his own accord, and not tue to a glitch in his technique. He was awful when he started but I saw a changed batsman in him in the Aus tour. Too bad he isn't from Lahore though otherwise he'd probably be given a few more chances

[Sledger]

Yeah, if only he was from Lahore, that way he could be in the team like a constant unwanted zit a la Farhat with ample months to prove his uselessness.

[Oxy]

And thats how Pak cricket work.

Proven mediocrity just hangs around waiting for someone to be dropped / suspended, before making a spectacular comeback.

The criteria is simple - Replace mediocrity with proven mediocrity.

[mrk]

I like Faisal Iqbal he isnt that bad as ppl here saying he is.

Were is Ahmed Shahzad he is REALY GOOD.
