…they’re both wrong though, Faisal Iqbal is better than Malik and Fawad….JOKE!

I am wondering if only two less significant players position is so debatable how will be the whole team as our team is nothing near to stability with his lineup like our board or even country.

Wondering what changes they will make today for Sydney.

I am glad to heae that you wish him well. In fact if you notice we agree on the most part.

Anyone of us can have a wrong perception or an error of judgement and as you said we are entitled to our opinions which may be biased or we might percieve our difference of opinion as bias.
The best thing is that time is the best judge and within a year or so we will both know whether Fawad possess some hidden potential which he hasn’t been able to fully display in his short career so far or was it just an illusion and he was as mediocre as Malik.

But nobody will be more happy than me if Pakistan gets a dependable batsman in Fawad. My best wishes are with him, I hope he proves himself whenever he gets a chance.

We all have our biases, that is right, but some are based on sound logic and are right and some aren’t and are wrong. Unfortunately, perception isn’t reality; and every opinion isn’t equal, but of course anyone has a right to express himself. This is the beauty of free societies, you get your say as well.

We all have our biases and rest assured that you have yours too. May be when you will grow up and get maturer you will understand.

You keep on clinging to this career span argument, but do not want to understand what I am saying, Malik is not indispensable but Fawad so far has not proved that he is good enough to replace him. You are seeking a change just for the sake of it. In 14 Odis and 3 test matches how many times when Fawad replaced Malik he actually made any significant difference? None.

Ofcourse now you will quote his 168 but will again ignore Malik’s 134 and then I am the one who is biased.

If he had made any difference I assure you we would not be having this argument right now.

And what makes you think Fawad is a key player for any format?

Malik is not a ‘key’ player in any of the formats though.

Because there is a difference between a player who is mediocre for 8-9 years and a player that, to you, ‘looks’ mediocre. I mean this is basic logic, when things are not working out, you change the player, regardless of who the replacement is..

He is mediocre but so is Fawad, I don’t think he is a failure he has better average than Younis Khan in Odi’s in T20 he has been one one of our key players in test matches he has been mediocre at best but so is his replacement.
