edia people are suggesting his name to be captain.

People go on talking about him like he is an outstanding batsman and one to look out for the future in ODI. 

Honestly I am confused by the treatment he is being given. 

We keep on bashing that Malik, Younus , Afridi Farhat are all ODI failures, but do not mention Asad Shafiq.

Do people even bother looking at stats. I think he should be sent packing for the next ODI series and be replaced by someone who does well in domestic.

Lets look at this from stats.

Asad Shafiq has a domestic OD average of 39. Nothing spectacular, there are many guys in domestic with far better records.

But OK lets look at the international scene:

In 2012 he had 11 innings for 267 runs at an avg of 26.7 and SR of 71, 2 50s and 0 100s
In 2013 he has had 6 matches, 143 runs at an average of 23.83 and a SR of 73 with 1 50.

Here is the best part about his 2013, his 1 50 is against Ireland, take that out and we are looking at 60 runs in 5 innings! How is that not a complete failure??

That is quite a bad record over the last 17 games. Lets be honest, none of us would want a batsman averaging around 25 in our middle order.

His performance are just as bad as Farhat. 

lets be honest his game is not suited for ODI and instead of being made captain he should be dropped and replaced by someone else like Harris Sohail!

Disucss!
