Folks, things are going to get a lot worse once misbah and younus hang up their boots. I'm not sold on the leadership qualities of sarfaraz as captain, and his wicket keeping skills are average at best. Has no range diving to his left or leg side. His fitness required for a WK is far from what is required. dowrich catch of babar down the legside, sarfaraz wouldn't be close to getting there. Enough said.
Who will be the regular slip fielder?
shahzad is not the answer as opener. I'd rather have sami aslam back.
Babar azam weakness has been exposed badly in this test match.
Shadab was a mistake for this test match. He was over matched. Wahab would have been better esp how things happened on 4th and 5th day. dry wicket, ball reversing.
If l was a selector, I would play the following
Sami
shan maqsood
Azhar Ali
Asad shafiq
Babar azam
Sarfaraz
Hassan Ali
Mohd amir
Yasir
Wahab riaz
Abbas
Folks our cupboard is empty. All the young players are reared on T20 cricket, and they don't have the ability to play test cricket
