I don't think you hear me. Hafeez and Shehzad's terribleness doesn't spare Azhar. In fact it's a bigger knock on him, that he slowed down so much despite getting a good start.

Yea it's not like the bowlers could possibly have bowled in better areas, with 4 men out if the ring instead of 2, and that the loss of wickets at the other end forced him to consolidate somewhat and to ensure a wobble didn't become a collapse
Those things never ever happen in cricket. Ever. Every ball was delivered identical to every ball he faced before, and consciously decided to score less runs per ball than he did before, because he doesn't understand how ODI cricket works and felt that batting slower is how you win games. Intact, it is this mentality that lead to him being dismissed for a 50 scored at a faster rate than anyone else in his side
****ing Azhar Ali eh?
Posting this bad is as good as trolling IMO

Tbh, 200 in 20 isn't impossible with Malik and Sarfraz. They need to go absolutely nuts immediately though or it's over.

I'm telling you Shoaib goddamn Malik can still do this, the ****ing ****.

Already looks a different game once Malik has come out to bat. Makes you wonder what he is doing batting all the way down at 5? Why not have him bat 3 or at least 4 and have the rest of the line up sort itself out? Is Imad Wasim a good hitter? Can he handle the #7 slot with Sarfraz at 6?

Less said the better about Shehzad, always been an average limited overs player. I'd be tempted to take a punt on Zaman for the next few matches and bin Ahmed.

Nah, we'll just give him credit and move on.

Where is TEC and his rants on Indian fielding now? And his Malik mantras?

Yeah I would pick Fakhar now but doubt this management is going to make any changes.
Azhar is not a great ODI player. That is not in question here. The issue though is of context - he bats with Shehzad, Hafeez, Babar - all 3 of them are just as worse at strike rotation. Actually Shehzad and Hafeez are worse than him. Yet they get away with it because they 'look' like they are attacking players and Azhar gets all hate. This is the problem here.
