Karachi Dynamite - Mohammad Shahzaib Hasan Khan - Page 2 - PakPassion

Inswinger

Shazaib Ahmed and Shahzaib Hasan are the same?

Muddaser

Shahzaib Ahmed is a legspinner.

Ali888

There is of course only one hardhitting Shahzaib, Shahzaib Hasan who has a T20 strike rate which is greater than even Afridi and Imran Nazir.

And Shahzaib Hasan is the only Shahzaib in the T20 probables squad.

hey calm down a bit. Abdul razzaq, imran nazir and rana are old and past it? do you know what you are talking about? You keep defending an totally unfit old shoaib akhtar and calling guys like nazir old and past it, you should stick to one line brother.

I agree that shazaib hasan and aamer should be picked but you can not ignore these icl players.

Ali888

Their running to ICL showed they did not see themselves winning back their Pakistan places so they spoke most eloquently with their actions about how 'past it' they were.

By the way Shoaib Akhtar who has been treated like scrap by countless PCB regimes (bannng him for Five years !! finiing him millions of rupees etc etc NEVER ran away to ICL!)

Yeah but Hasan has only played 2 matches, so a bit misleading.

Need to see a bit more of him, but it wouldn't harm Pakistan by throwing in a few newcomers into the side to shake things up a little.

salman24

What is his overall batting average? I saw 35.70 but that looked like an old record

Ali888

I remember seeing 40 odd in recently completed domestic OD tournament

Ali888

Congratulations Shahzaib

let the slaughter commence

And the good thing is that he doesnt look like a blind slogger when slogging.

kingusama92

I want to see him in the team... We have a few serious hitters in this T20 squad... Shazaib, Afridi and even Akmal.

Ghoshtbuster

Great!

Cant wait to actually see him, after only looking at his strike rates on scorecards to make this thread.

pakcricketfan

He's been named in the T20 squad for the WC... ALL THE BEST TO HIM!!!

Ali888

the name alone will strike fear into opposition

Saj

A high risk selection for such a big tournament, but the selectors must have seen something in him that they liked.

I'd like to think he'll get a chance in the T20 match in the next few days against Australia

Anwar Ali on Shahzaib Hasan

PP Exclusive - Anwar Ali talks about Shahzaib Hasan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been chatting to the very amicable Karachi based all rounder Anwar Ali who of course plays for PIA

Anwar of course was one of the stars of the Under 19 World Cup in 2006 and has been on the fringes of the Pakistan team having only been given one opportunity at international level against Zimbabwe in a Twenty/20 fixture last year.

I asked Anwar about the name that is on the lips of most Pakistani cricket fans today and that is Shahzaib Hasan.

Anwar stated that "Shahzaib has played club cricket in the Karachi area for a few years but has only just started playing first class cricket in the past year or so". "Its his first season at first class level" confirmed Anwar.

He added that "he thinks Shahzaib is definitely a twenty/20 specialist at the moment and really likes to hit the ball hard from ball one". Anwar said that "Shahzaib is a tricky customer to bowl to as you can never tell what he is planning to do with the next delivery. He can be very unorthodox and difficult to bowl to".

I asked Anwar about what type of player Shahzaib was and what his strengths were. Anwar mentioned that "he's a good all round batsman, comfortable on the front foot and the back foot and certainly not afraid to come down the track even to the quick bowlers".

Also just to mention that Anwar has signed a contract for Lancashire League club Colne for this season but there have been delays regarding his passport. Once the red tape has been sorted and he gets his passport cleared then he'll be straight over to England.

Karachi: Pakistan captain Younis Khan said Australians showed more discipline and professionalism in the recent one-day series and his team needed to emulate the World Champions.
Younis, who replaced Shoaib Malik as captain in February after Pakistan lost a home ODI series against Sri Lanka, said he was disappointed like everyone else over the loss to Australia in Dubai and Abu Dhabi but he did not have a magic wand to bring about overnight improvement in the team.

The outspoken senior batsman said Pakistan had several chances to beat Australia in the series but let them escape out of tight situations in some matches.

"Results of at least two matches could have gone in our favour but the Australians showed more professionalism and discipline and we need to improve in these areas ourselves," Younis said in an interview.

"But I don't have a magic wand to make things happen quickly. Improvement in performance and consistency in the team will only come with time. And every player has to show and take responsibility for the team it is not just the captain who can do everything," he said.

Younis said he needed more support from other team members to concentrate on his captaincy and own batting.

"I need more support from my support team because I spent a lot of time with the players in this series. I know that I have to get runs to set the right example. I want to concentrate on my batting and captaincy," Younis said.

The captain said he was satisfied with the performance of controversial fast bowler, Shoaib Akhtar who ended with just three wickets in four matches.

"I think the main thing he has tried hard and showed a better attitude. He is improving and I have always said he can still give a lot to Pakistan cricket."

Younis said people would see a different Pakistan team in the Twenty20 World Cup in England as the players realised they had to make amends for the series loss to Australia.

Pakistan has picked two uncapped teenagers -- left-arm fast bowler Mohammad Aamir and hard hitting batsman Shahzaib Hassan for the T20 World Cup.

Both the youngsters have done well in domestic cricket and sources said that altough the selectors had picked opener, Khalid Latif for the T20 World Cup, Younis pushed for the inclusion of Shahzaib, a Karachite, who is considered somewhat of a specialist T20 player.

Chief selector Abdul Qadir has said he had high hopes from Aamer who hails from Rawalpindi. "You see lot of people are going to be taken by surprise by his pace and bounce," the former Test leg-spinner said.

Younis said the T20 World Cup was a real test for the team as it was an event which would be followed closely and hugely in the world and in Pakistan.

"We have a very good team and we can do well but our players now have to give their best."

He added that he expected criticism after the loss to Australia and would try to learn from it. "I think we have already learnt a lot from the Australians in this series."

Pakistan were beaten by arch rivals, India in the final of the last T20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007. Interestingly, when Younis and coach Intikhab Alam discussed the T20 squad with the selectors in Abu Dhabi on Monday, sources said no mention was made of the Indian Cricket League players.

"They were not discussed nor considered since the Pakistan Board had not given clearance to consider them," one selector said.

Ali888

Looks like Younus Khan is basically admitting he is influenced very much by Rashid Latif.

I guess there are worse people to be influenced by.

On_the_up

lets hope Shahzaib and Aamer do the business in the T20 world cup

Ali888

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/sh...ad.php?t=72321

Younus pushed for Shahzaib over Khalid Latif

Amjid Javed

"But I don't have a magic wand to make things happen quickly. Improvement in performance and consistency in the team will only come with time. And every player has to show and take responsibility for the team it is not just the captain who can do everything," he said.

Well captain Saab sort yourself out 1st and lead by example and maybe others will follow!

AZ

and enough with the lame "I don't have a magic wand" BS

Ali888

I am all for criticising Younus for his ridiculous statements of showing Imran Khan type leadership and then captaining like a wuss by not playing Fawad, however he deserves praise for learning QUICKLY from his failures and in his actions admitting he was WRONG by :-

1. DITCHING failures and mediocre players like Rao Iftikhar
2. SELECTING Young Up and Coming players like Aamer and Shahzaib

I wonder could Aamer be to Younus what Wasim was to Imran
I wonder could Shahzaib be to Younus what Inzamam was to Imran

in that 1992 World Cup triumph ?

Thats what anti younis brigade came out with forgetting the fact he gave sohail khan and talha their chance and now got shazaib in the squad.so much for him not giving young players a chance.
These are the same ppl who called him useless khan naswar khan in the past and wanted him out of the test team and he went on to become one of the best in the world.now that he is out of form they want him out in ODIs aswell even though he avgs 42 with a strike rate of 80+ in last two years and that with recent poor run too.

Waseem

How did this thread shrink???? There were about 4 pages when i checked it last time

Anyway, here are the prize winners of Grade 2 Patron's trophy:

DateLine: 4th May 2009
Media Release - 4 May 2009

Best Batsman: Asad Shafiq (KESC), Runs: 611, Rs. 10,000/-.
Best Bowler: Asif Raza (PAF), Wickets: 31, Rs. 10,000/-.
Best Fielder: Shahzaib Hasan (PQA), Catches: 12, Rs. 10,000/-.
Best Wicket-keeper: Javed Mansoor (KESC), Catches: 17, Stumpings 4, Rs. 10,000/-.
Man of the Match: Akbar-ur-Rehman (KESC), Rs. 10,000/-.
Runners-up: Pakistan Army, Captain: Mir Azam, Rs. 50,000/.
Winner: KESC, Captain: Javed Mansoor, Rs. 100,000/-.

Good to see that he is also a good fielder, he only played 5 games as compared to Asad Shafiq(best batsman) who played 6 otherwise he would have been declared best batsman as well. It's good to see that he is scoring runs consistently at all levels even though he is considered a slogger. Akmal junior showed same promise last year so we can wait and watch how Shahzaib progresses from here.

his stats are not bad for a starter .brings some hope for this talentless team of ours .

Sufi Malang

I Can't believe how quickly this guy has moved up the ranks and been able to play for the national team. I think its just few months back when I was watching some local news TV channel where they were reporting about some Benazir Bhutto tournament in KArachi where this guy played some superb innings and hit so many sixes in final (don't remember correctly). SO they were showing glimpse of his innings and the reporter was speaking very high of this lad that he hit some very big sixes....That was the first time I heard abt him.
Never thought that he will be in the main stream news and up for the selection in the national team squad so soon. Im really really excited to see this guy. Hope he lives up to the expectations of all us fans!

Ghoshtbuster

The excitement grows with each day [as the posts mysteriously vanish lulz irony]. I believe this feeling can be quite successfully described as

Good to hear he is a top fielder too in post #"109", much like his hero no doubt. Cant wait to see this livewire, sounds like he has that aag in him that we so desperately need more of.

Ghoshtbuster

I hope he comes in and does a "Malik", causing a rift between him and Salman Butt, with the latter storming off to the ICL forever.

Ghoshtbuster

Quote:

"My attacking style of batting which suited twenty20 could have been paved the way for my selection"

It is also suited to ODIs and Tests. No more tuk tuk, I can do that myself in my backyard. He should be in all teams immediately [reinforcing the request in the first page].

I guess Qadir/Younis also know nothing about cricket, since they have now selected him.

MIG

Since T20 is about sixes and 4s, I think we will be fine with Shahzaib

You are right bro! The excitement is growing with time. I would have liked to make him debut against the Ozs in teh T20 match but maybe PCB has some other thoughts as they might wanna unleash him in the T20 WC

Ali888

That is a good plan. Look how Misbah and Tanvir came from nowhere and get us to semi-finals.

Now it looks like Tanvir has been 'found out' and is totally out of form with no plan B so Mohammed Aamer should get a chance.

Ghoshtbuster

Yes, the Tanvir novelty has worn off.

However, that will not happen with Shahzaib, since his game is not based on gimmicks.

in_cutter

..I hope the kid lives up to the hype!

Da Best

I'm also getting quite excited now. Hopefully he'll debut agaisnt SA in the first opening warm up match. And hopefully he'll live up to the hype.

Yup, we need some aggression. I have no idea how good this guy is, but if he can do something in the WC, I would definitely play him in other forms of cricket as well

That would actually be better for Pakistan's opening future. There is a huge difference between Butt and Yousuf. Yousuf wasn't a mara howa tuk tukia.

Ghoshtbuster

According to Aqib Javed, Shahzaib Hasan is, and I quote: "strong" .

So far, so good. I hope I didnt take it out of context. Next step: practise games against Akhtar/Aamer, and then we get to see him play.

Ali888

I think at this stage they are probably just trying to keep a lid on this particular WMD. We all know the rage of the 'International Community' if Pakistan unveils another WMD which will be heading to the UK in a few weeks and which could potentially be used against India.

The Indian call center operators would be up in arms and all the UK utilities customer service operations would be in disarray.

Ghoshtbuster

Indeed. I apologise for my short-sighted view, I did not consider the wider political implications of this devious cave dweller.

I will prefer Sohail Ahmad over him.. Looks very avg. 1st-class player to me...

O yaro itna bhi na hype kero us becharay ko. Thora halka aao aap log bahut bhari aa rahe O :-)

I think perhaps Pakistan will be hoping he can be a bit of an Imran Nazir replacement.

Ahmed Shehzad is young and his time will come, I'm not sure he is ready at the moment.

abcd,

We, like you, are judging him on based on the scorecards. What they tell us is that he scores fast, and can clear the boundary. That is all I want to see, there is no hype - since that is what he has shown "on paper" and now he will get the chance.

Also:

I believe there is a contradiction here. Hope you can spot it. If not, just ask and I will help. Thnaks.

Ali888

Rashid Latif is the Don of T20 cricket.

If Rashid Latif has the power to get Younus Khan to take a risk with this youngster he must be something special.

All I know apart from this is that this young hard-hitting batsman whose hero is Adam Gilchrist has a better T20 strike rate than BOTH Shahid Afridi and Imran Nazir !!!

Can not wait to see him EXPLODE onto the scene. Some youngsters given such responsibility would keep a low profile but this kid has done several media interviews already to let people know he is coming.

Maybe Shahid Afridi was simply the precursor to prepare the way for the coming of Shahzaib Hasan ?

olamba1

lol looking through his records he seems to make alot of ducks

Ali888

that must be when he bats against the astounding pace bowlers Pakistan produces and that Indians envy so much

It is a strange statement or wish.

I am absolutely not worried about this Kid. He is only 20. He will learn more and more cricket in coming years. He has the natural Talent and He is Massive and Powerful (a God Gifted Thing). So, he is going to be stay a valueable batsman for Pakistan in 20/20 Format.

Look Imran Nazir also don't have much average in Test or ODIsl but still he fits perfectly for 20/20 Format.

Therefore, I see no black shadows upon the future of this lad.

I'm talking about quality.... There's a big difference btw domestic and international level... This kid can't even hit on domestic level regularly.. Forget international level....

Btw, what contradiction, I have no idea what u r talking about...

Ghoshtbuster

You said you had only seen scorecards, and not seen him bat. Nobody can then announce the following attributes from that evidence:

"This kid has got 0 temperament..
and is not naturally gifted hitter like Nazir....
Even Rana-Naved can bat better then him.."

Strictly, it is not a contradiction. But the logic does not work at all.

Also, even Afridi does not score regularly at domestic level. But we all saw him as the best batsman/bowler/fielder/player against the World Champions Australia, who would have single handedly beaten them had he not been held back by 10 other Pakistanis.

pakcricketfan

Why are so many people after him?? :o
Bachay ki jaan lo ge kya?!
I'm really waiting for the domestic T20 competition to start..Shahzaib will be playing for Karachi zebras i think..

Some people are old school and love seeing people block 115 balls with strike rates< 20. He probably doesn't want to see another Afridi born and would probably want to see another Mohammad Sami / Bhanja.

LOL. Your posts sometimes do make me laugh.
How can you say he isnt a gifted hitter when you havent seen him bat?
Also, you cant just decide by looking at scorecards if Rana Naveed is better than him.

If your going to look at people's statistics and not look at how he plays to select the guy in the squad then you could of chosen Faisal Iqbal he has a First Class avg of 40.
