Haseeb Hameed : England finally finds a good opener

[sandeep]

Hameed is a baby Pujara.  Likes to bat time.  Comes from the same state too yeah?  Promising start, but he has a ways to go.  

[maniac]

Not impressed...doesn't have the game for the next level.

 

something missing here.

[Iconoclast]

Hameed lasted 144 balls before getting an unplayable delivery

 

Duckett + Moin + Stokes + Bairstrow + Ansari + Rashid + Broad + Jimmy = 145 balls faced

 

That's saying something.

Were you impressed by Cook when he played his first test series? Did you feel 'something missing here' then too?

 

What do you think of Cook as a test batsman now? Do you think he made it to the 'next level'?

This guy is really really special.....Look at how lately he plays the ball......I believe, its team decision to play out the time......and he did his role perfectly well....

 

Can someone pls post his first class strike-rate?

 

I wouldn't be surprised, if he will become world class batsmen.....

Yes....envisioned big things for him but obviously I can't prove that...got lost in the archives

 

Ah I get it now you are implying that just because Cook is not a slam bang player I did not rate him....In my best Donald Trump Voice rrrrrrooooooong

 

Cook is a backfoot player so naturally good against pace and bounce and has perfect footwork and balance so good against Spin too...Has a good defense and looks assured....has the ability to play late and good hand-eye coordination like most good players.

 

This kid is lacking in lot of such qualities.

 

You have a great hand eye coordination and ability to play late that is half the battle won-DOn't see it here....Time to go back to the counties and improve for this kid.

Haseeb is a legend in the making. Hopefully, England doesn't sideline him after Jennings century.

This is standard in Cook's English side. Look at Duckett. Selectors said he was test match player. But now they say NO, he is odi player. Olive branch will be given to him. England limited over team only got better since Cook was removed off odi captaincy

 

Hameed will be chopped on very first opportunity. He as allready given it. Unless Cook retires, he has no future

hameed and jennings both should play 
jennings and cook to open 
hameed at 3
root will be at his best at 4 
bairstow at 5
all rounders are batting too high in their team

Since you were playing cricket in UK earlier, in all these last few years of you playing, did you ever hear about him before or was it recently that he gained popularity among many like you. Did you ever play alongside him etc?

 

Asking, because such players at such age easily would have played club cricket not too long ago and many current club cricketers must be excited to see their fellow club cricketer making it to the national England team.
