Seen Srilanka,seen WestIndies,seen Bangladesh,now even seen Afghanistan.Literally everyone has a fight in them,all except Pakistan.
After all this time,after unearthing some decent players,after a bit of improvement,it really has remained the same old story for Pakistan---a batting lineup which cannot stand up for itself under pressure.No one seems to want to force himself on the opposition.Cant score runs,cant bat fast.Once you are through the top order of Imam,Fakhar (who is looking increasingly suspect these days),Babar...you might as well forget about stringing together a hundred runs even at a below 100 SR.
Sometimes I wonder if replacing the middle order with the tail might give us better results ?
Non existent spin attack.
A pace attack which looked promising but has mysteriously sabotaged itself.
A Wicket keeper captain who would be put to shame by many tailenders.
Impressed with West Indies really. Pretty much the whole lineup can hit big and are looking more and more like proper batsmen.
Bangladesh line up really seem to be what Pakistani lineup aspires to be.Not slam bang but measured solid practical batting.
Even Afghanistan batting is looking far more professional and their spin attack would walk into a lot of teams.
Most importantly its the character ,the grit,the purpose of these bating line ups.Ours is pretty much aimless,going through the motions,a collapse waiting to happen every other match. Dont quite know what the fans are banking on now.
