what he said ...any idea ???

[Usman Chadda]

What is this infatuation with Salman Butt? He didn't perform thus he got dropped. Now he has to go back and prove himself rather than be considered a passenger by the team. Its good for the player himself if he is given a break and made to think about what he is doing wrong

he wants salman butt to be in...i think he need to get his form and confidence back .

[IAJ]

Well in short he said that Salman Butt and Abdul Razzaq should have been in the squad.
He said that Pakistan need more than one regurlar opener and besides Mohammad yousuf, Salman Butt is the player who has most centuries so he should have been there.

abdul razzak is out because rana naved outclassed him in Lanka series .,

Butt out because we have nazir and kamran to open.

[Afridi_Fan]

Ok this guy has lost his mind.No way Butt deserved a place in the squad, and as Saj got the info that Razzaq is injured so Zip it Mr

[naqlipathan]

salman butt hasnt got a great record of performing on bouncy and fast pitches. on such pitches its better to open with guys like imran nazir.

also, butt does not look like a very mentally strong player to me and he has benefited from too many chances already. its time to move on.

I don't know what's wrong with Qadir, just because Salman Butt has most centuries after Yousuf, does not mean that he should be in the squad even if he's not performing...just doesn't make sense.

Well that is how things work in Pakistan; every time one person resigns from his post or get sacked, he will sit back and critisize the decisions of his successors.

[cricketpassion]

these two should get some sort of award for bieng negative all the time and critising anything relating to pakistan team.

Abdul Qadir not happy with selection of the team for CT

Well surprise surprise !

It was only really a matter of time. First Sarfaraz Nawaz has something to say and Qadir follows. They've worked out a pretty good routine. Shame its getting old.

[pakcricketfan]

Whenever Pak has a tough tour ahead, Sarfaraz has to say something negative, folllowed by his "verbal diarrhea" companion- Abdul Qadir. This is getting predictable..
They try their best to bring bad luck to the team.. But InshAllah, this won't happen. During T20 WC, Qadir had done something similar and we all know how the team slapped on his face with the WC victory. He's doing it again and InshALLAH, our boys will do it AGAIN, too..this time at the Champions trophy!!

[sali]

Qadir and Sarfraz will soon win Medal Of Losers from govt. Why say that this team can't win before the series starts? I agree that leaving out Razzaq was stupid but how do you make place for two more players in the team?

Rao had performed better than Razzaq in bowling dept and Imran had done better than Butt in batting during SL series. Rana and Afridi won the two all rounder spots. We need to move on and start encouraging the team that they can win the CT.

[*sallu*]

too bad for him his opinion doesn't count anymore

[Tay'yab-Ali Malik]

The problem with Pcb selection policy Is that it confuses a playersc test form with his odi form and vice versa. Accepted SB Was poor during the test matches but he has a very decent odi record which must not be confused with his current test form. SB has consitently scored 100 in odi which has allowed others to bat around him. I'm happy to see nazir back and hope he murders the opposition however SB should not have been discarded. He is a very good player of fast bowling and the most experienced opener

[Zaz]

Its not the best squad, 2 many mid order players not enough opening options but hey lets back the team and get on wid things instead of criticising at every turn

[ali_zee]

shoaib should have been in the team

[abc_to_xyz]

He is 1000% true this time... You just can't drop these two....

Younis, Misbah and Malik deserve bigger kick then Butt!!!

[AtifUk]

I thought he had resigned from his position in the selection commitee? Yet he still cant keep his opinions to himself. He should do us all a favour and move to India.

[Qelic]

sarfaraz / qadir / javed all are spice guys . they will keep on raising fingers on things . but in a way its constructive , bit only though .

[siddharth]

Ever since he resigned he has been telling these.

[MalikMohsin]

Basically, he is not happy at anything. That's weird.

He won't be considered for PCB post again because of his comments lately which will decide his entire character and his reputation.

his form in most of the ODIs we've played this year hasn't been particularly great. He's a good player of fast bowling on dead pitches. he's one for the future but has earned his break

[Ryankhan]

i dont agree its good to see but is out cuz he was in terrible form and havent proved his fitness and form so why should he be in the team.

And you should join them

[Free Hit]

he said the same BS when the team was under performing in t20 world cup, i think this will again may help our team, abdul qadir was no legend, if we dont even care what wasim say then why bother about what abdul qadir say, he just want to stay busy in media, i think he should open his own channel called 'Tanqeed'

abc_to_xyz is providing good competition as well. Wonder who'll ultimately get it.

One thing's for sure, whoever gets it would have deserved it.

that's a nail biting contest

[Ali Malik]

I think Abdul Qadir knows a bit more about cricket than you guys......somehow maybe dont you think.......or have you guys played for pakistan and become legends? Or were you selected to be cheif selector? He is 100% right...Butt and Razzak should be in the team.

[KA$H]

the thing is Mr Qadir needs to remember he's no longer a selector and any kind of soundbite on selection is gonna be lapped up the press

the biggest problem is that it makes him look like a publicity whore - which is a shame, because he usually has some good stuff to say, but it unfourtunately gets drowned out by the chaff

[SWERVE_uk]

Can we just boycott covering footage of people like Abdul Qadir and Safraz Nawaz!! Always criticising the Pakistan Team in the media, we are in the 21st century please act like true ex-professionals!!

[161]

Qadir is spot on (mostly).

Razzaq should have been in the squad but I think Inti has a thing against him.

As for picking Nazir as our one and only opener for such a major tournament .. that's nutz.

I would have gave another chance to Ahmed Shezad.

Dude, what's the prob with disagreement. You also disagreed with the CURRENT chief selector. Also Waqar and Rameez were saying Butt needed a break to go work on his short-comings and prove himself. Do you consider yourself better than them? No, right? It's just you're disagreeing with them. Everybody have their view. So, cheers!

[Ali Malik]

boss..........its fine to disagree but not to put people down by calling them nuts etc....this man is very well respectde and does a lot for pakistan cricket now and has done so in the past........disagree fine but dont insult legends like him.

[Afridi_Fan]

Ali Malik, this guy, or rather this legend has gone nuts.Since he resigned from his post during the T20 World Cup, he is just following the great legend of them all Sarfarz Nawaz.Yes we haven't played on International level,but most of the guys on this forum are following cricket for the past 20 years, and when 80% of them are united on one thing, trust me, they know about what they are talking.

If one has become a legend while his playing days, it doesn't simply means that whatever comes out of their mouth is absolutely true, same applies to Qadir and Sarafarz.

[BD-fan]

Legend he is. I don't know about you but I learned the word Googly from his play. His twisted moves of arms, dazzled the spectators. Before S Warne there was Abdul Qadir.

He, however, needs to stop making comments to the media. The media on the other hand found a parot. So I blame the media as always. AQadir still can't get over S Malik's inclusion. That is the bottom line, as I see it.

[Ali Malik]

so just because he believes Salman Butt and Razzak should be in the team and has the balls to say it...........he is nuts although many people agree with him? sorry im not convinced.

Many people also disagree with him. And we all know how some former Pakistani players are. Criticising anything and everything. That has been what Abdul Qadir has been doing ever since he resigned from his post and that is why some people are calling him nuts these days (mind you, I never called him nuts ).

Abdul Qadir doesn't have to be correct all the time, legend or not. I have said in my earlier post too that there are some legends who disagree with Qadir as well. Why do you disregard their views, and only take Qadir's view? This is the same Qadir who said he wouldn't have YK in his team. Do you agree with him on this matter as well?

[Ali Malik]

i take all legends views on board and agree with some and dont agree with others..the only reason i defended him strongly is because we have no right to call him nuts and lost his mind, not defending the fact that people can disagree........ He is someone who does say what he feels and does not kiss PCB backside and through this we have had some useful insight.........
