Shoaib Akhtar disappointed by Sohail Tanvir’s performances – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 so far and has advised the team management to replace him with Abdul Razzaq.
The Green Shirts won both their group matches against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 and Bangladesh respectively to go into the Super 8s oozing with confidence. Their bowling however, looked vulnerable against Bangladesh, with the minnows posting a massive total of 175 runs
on the board on a flat batting deck at Pallekele.
Tanvir, the left-arm fast bowler from Rawalpindi, gave away 25 runs in his three overs against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Arafat-c98241.
The Rawalpindi Express wants the team management to include http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdul-Razzaq-c41623 in the playing-11, who in Akhtar’s opinion, is still a match-winner with his ability to strike the ball hard.
"You can replace Tanvir with Razzaq. He'll strengthen the batting & can bowl 2 overs like Tanvir," said the former pacer. "He is an honest, hardworking bowler. He strives to improve everyday."
Pakistan team usually feels more comfortable defending totals but after a successful chase against the Bengalis, the former cricketer advised http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 as well, in their opening Super 8 match, which is scheduled to
be played on Friday at Colombo.
"If Pakistan win the toss, they should go for chasing which seems to be their strength at the moment," Shoaib feels.
The former speedster is of the opinion that Imran Nazir, the right-handed opener, who smashed a 36-ball 72 on Tuesday, is one of the most talented batsmen produced by the country but wants him to be more patient at the international level.
Akhtar believes, "http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imran-Nazir-c64248 needs to understand that he should play proper cricketing shots, instead of being over-ambitious."
Shoaib further added that the Green Shirts are a well-balanced side and have a strong chance of regaining the title under Hafeez’s captaincy.
"When you're playing at the highest level, you are not a weak link," the former fast bowler expressed while answering a question about http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s weaknesses.
