Aizaz Cheema: What has he done wrong?

[Akmal Dynasty]

He won us the Asia cup and then was dropped unfairly for the worst bowler in the history of cricket. He was treated unfairly in the test series too. He is a hard working chap, never gives up why he is sidelined from all formats? What has he done wrong?

[Professor]

What did Tanvir Ahmed do wrong? our selectors don't need a reason to discard someone, it seems they randomly do whatever they want

[Akmal Dynasty]

Tanvir ahmed too was treated unfairly. He bowled well on flat tracks against SA.

[pakistanbest]

Too old, need planning for 2015, simples!

[LegCutter]

You can only have 11 player in a team. If it were to PP, we would be selecting every single person in the domestic circuit

[Sherlock]

He went the same way Ifthikar Anjum did.

[Wristy_Shuffler]

Nothing. He's just another victim the selector rota we have going on. Each time a new selector is chosen, he brings with him his personal tastes, agenda's and bias and so no player that has cemented their spot is safe. Sometimes even those who have aren't safe from unexplained snubs.

[iZeeshan]

Won us the Asia Cup

Bowled the last over so he gets all the credit?

The fact is that he's nothing special at all, isn't going to improve, and is pretty old already.

What has he done wrong? Get selected maybe 4-5 years too late.

[Bullet Drive]

Decent ODI bowler. Good T20 bowler. Not a test bowler.

ODI economy is 5.42. Test average is 32.

[Zaz]

Its cos hes not fassstttt!

He did more than Umar Gul did.

Fawad Alam hits 100 on debut gets dropped
Tanvir Ahmed avgs 24 with bat and bowl, gets dropped
Aizaz bowls an excellent last over gets dropped
Shahzaib bats as an opener Pakistna win the T20 world cup gets dropped

Farhat, Sami, Faisal I fail over and over again, and keep getting selected.

Welcome to the world of incompetence that is Pakistani selectors

Lol gotta love the standards at PP sometimes.

[IAJ]

You have to do something wrong to get selected again. And as long as he doesnt do that there is no way back I am afraid.
Same goes for Hammad, Fawad and the rest who have been dropped.

Maybe they should start fixing some matches? Get involved in groupings and infightings? Or they should have performed poorly. You have to have these kind of things on your CV to be even considered..

[Dolphins]

Aizaz Cheema just isn't a great bowler. He gives his best but his best isn't enough for international standards.

[Yuri]

Seemed like quite a useless bowler to me from that one match against India.
If he is better, i am sure he will get his opportunities. Choosing Sami was a gamble that Pakistan had to take. Cheema didn't look like someone who would win you a series in Sri Lanka..

[Down2Earth]

he's too one dimentional, his bowling action takes LBW out of the equation and the edges he creates never reach the slips or keeper.

[speed]

If we had played cheema ahead of sami in the odi series I am sure we would have won the last match.

[LegendAli]

Forget about cheema, Tanvir Ahmed was the guy that could of won us so much more, Cheema shouldnt even be talked about when there is Tanvir Ahmed, who deserves a spot 1000x more.

[leatherface58]

cheema's credibility got hit hard when he came up against kohli and co. suddenly his sub 30 odi bowling average started looking deceptive. still i think he should be selected for odis atleast. not a bad bowler.

tanvir ahmed is a must for tests.

[leatherface58]

delete

[LegCutter]

We tried him, he wasnt special; let's move on. Our current team is filled with enough mediocrity as it is

Having said that, replacing him with Sami is probably the dumbest thing the selectors did.

Dude its not that Shahzaib made us win the world cup. He did Ok, he was part of a combo that won the world cup. He was part of a formula that worked, yet we did not keep him.

He did not deserve to be dropped in the next T20 game.

Yes we have so many great fast bowlers at the moment. Whats the need for Cheema?

What Shahzaib are you talking about; Shahzaib Hassan?

[dadvoc]

I am very much satisfied with his exclusion
although he tries his best, but he is not someone we can rely upon

[bilal3021]

Tanvir Ahmed in my opinion is a must against the saffa's early next year..along with junaid and gul we have a decent pace attack.

[Akmal Dynasty]

Welcome back he was dropped unfairly for sami.

[Hassan Qureshi]

would love to know which current fast bowler is ACTUALLY doing better than for him for the experts in this thread so that his exclusion makes sense.

You see many of them in domestic cricket but they never get selected.
