Doesnt Fawad Alam remind you of......?

[bilal]

Ijaz Ahmed, in the 1992 world cup, Ijaz Ahmed was the odd one owt, didnt do much, bowled a bit and barely got a bat, but played remeber pakistan won that world cup aswell, not a thoery, just sumthing i noticed

[The_Cricket_Devil]

I suppose in a bit it is true, Fawad is the much better fielder though

[mooz]

salim malik was even more marginal to our win. Ijaz atleast bowled here and there.
Ijaz was a pretty good fielder, just inconsistent.

[dblock]

Yeah quite canny.

Remember Ijaz affected a wonderful run-out also in the 1992 final. Much like Fawad today and that was after a useless contribution (Ijaz run's out Wasim first ball, Fawad concedes 15 in an over).

[IAJ]

For a minute he reminded me of ravindra jadeja and younis reminded me of Dhoni against England...But Alhamdulillah it went ok in the end!

[Amoeba]

I was just gonna say the say the same thing. He is the new Ijaz

[pakcricketfan]

I dunno if he's the new Ijaz or not because I haven't seen much of Ijaz..
but have to say, Fawad is really a team man and an exceptional fielder! He's so active and brings energy into the team! It was great to see Wasim Akram praising him soo much..

[Mercenary]

What I loved about Fawad was that when the rest of the team were running off to celebrate the win, he still chased down the ball and prevented a boundary off the last delivery despite it making no difference to the result.

He really gives a hard time to the ball.

yes.yes he does

[Jannat]

Fawad is neither as ugly in batting nor as effective as the original axeman... Fawad is a more Miandad-isque "Single Double" player

[iZeeshan]

...Jonty Rhodes.

...except he actually does possess the the talent to bat and bowl.

[Bouncer]

Only person i relate fawad to is Michael Baven....Not a super star batsman, not a great bowler, awesome fielder...But i will take him in my T20, ODI team without blink of an eye.

Yes I noticed that too.
I thought he will just run and celebrate and let the ball go for 4 but he surprised me.
That shows young man's commitment, I am impressed.


I have seen Ijaz bat and field. Wonderful batsman, unorthodox but great stroke play. He was one of the best fielder in the team.

[AZ]

that's a great observation...let's hope Fadi can achieve what Ijaz did for Pakistan

[Faisal Akhtar]

Lol @ comment on Bevan,

Not a super star batsman

apart from the fact that he was probably the greatest ODI batsman of all time.

As for people praising Fawads fielding, it was good but its just been a few games. Ijaz was cosistently our best fielder for a long time, and took some blinders along the way.

He was just the best finisher not really the greatest odi batsman of all time btw

[Zaz]

Fwads attitude is great, love the way he handles himself

Inshallah allah will grant him all the success in the world

we are talking about his "fielding"! You really need some more games to judge his fielding?
