What's new

Pakistan tour of West Indies 2017

Should have played like T20 first 4 batsmen , get to 80 runs in 7 overs , and then play singles , coast to 140 runs

10 an over = 100 , that is all that is needed by T20 standard
 
. .
Amir plays the game with agressive mindset which is why you will see a master class today
 
.
Asad Shafiq plays too many dots which not only bring few runs out of many overs but slow the game over rate if Shafiq had scored 40 out of 80 balls in 1 st innings we still had won it
 
. .
At the end of the days runs matter how much u scored no one interest in ur dots u play

If we keep getting runs pressure will mount on windies they will make mistake sarfaraz is key if he shows balanced aggression we can win from here too

Just need 10 run / over for 3-5 overs , and its Pakistani win
I don't think we are in position to take risk but balanced aggression will bring west indies to commit mistakes
 
.
Rather see them fight then defend

7 Overs @ 10 runs an over = 70 runs no one on boundries

Decent 20 by Amir

Hell of stupidity when we learn we play opposite game whenever needed

Shehzad Shafiq and shadab should be dropped immediately they did nothing

Bring hafeez back which is far better player than shehzad

WAQAR was right shehzad is not a player to invest in
Shafiq is way to slow his contribution is Mill in teams score and winning
Bring Faisal Iqbal

Shadab Khan is useless
Bring Hassan ali

Give chance to Shan Masood and Usman salauddin

Just an odd game , we will win Series ... 2-1


Pakistanis always get nervous once the other team puts 5 guys in slip their "Wristy Tuk Tuks" don't work with tat 5 guy slip formation.

It is a old weakness in Pakistani team, Austrlia applies the same tactic against Pakistani Teams

The only way to counter that approach is by hitting cleanly towards the bowler and that is something we just don't have apart from may be Shahid afridi that used to often his that stright shot

We were badly exposed in second innings


Austrlia/Newzeland / South Africa would be smashing the bowling over the bounders due to lack of fielders there , just matter of Agreesion Approach play

Even Amir made 20 runs just by trying to play positively

Great centuries by Azhar / Misbah (99) and Bowlers did well in first two innings
Just an odd second inning result next game

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

Guys this is the best team Pak have apart from one or two players.What did you expect?It was a 5th day pitch.Kuddos to the WI bowlers the bowled well.This is the best Pak batting lineup on paper.Seniors like YK or Misbah should have stayed on the crease.

Shahdab is only 18 he should play t20.He has talent but intentional cricket is another ballgame.Look at Sarfraz khan from India he is as talented as kohli but he is young so they are grooming him.

They needed to show some backbone. Approach was too timid. There should have been a counterattack, l don't mind living and dying by the sword, but this was pathetic.
