Keep going Naseem boy

One day you will be reaping the rewards of all your toil now!
 
Naseem has bowled very well no doubt on a phatta wicket. I am just surprised we dont want to give aussie bowlers any advantage but preparing reverse swing wickets star and cummins will have a field day.
 
Such a better bowler when pitching it up and asking questions instead of banging it on a length trying to extract bounce

Indeed, spinners have been very poor in this series.. In a home series against one of SENA teams, they are expected to take enough wickets and ask lot of questions to the batsman with their bowling..

They are literally toothless , no penetration and the Head coach is Saqlain ( what is he doing there)
 
Awful advertisement of Test cricket this series has been. Very similar to the roads of 2005-09.

And then we wonder why we don't produce quality players.

Every time Ramiz has been in charge, the pitches have taken a beating.
 
sajid leaking boundary overs now... such a bad decision to continue with these spinners, they posess zero threat to the batsman tbh..
 
Pakistan deserve to lose this test.

Australia have been a better team despite these pathetic and doctored roads.

No wonder teams wanna play 2 tests only

A reversing ball and you're taking off the pacers. Wasting the ball.

i think from 18 or 19th over Babar kept one end of pace attack.. they all bowled good spells but didnt get a wicket..

The problem is spinners being toothless, are gifting runs and taking all the pressure off from Aus and shift that to Pakistan...
 
Poor selection. Hasan ‘has been’ Ali should not be near any pak squad in any format. Spinners should of been dropped for others also; zero variation, zero pace and leak runs…

Pak should get the spinners from the womens team to play in the mens…
 
I cannot believe we've prepared a road for the third Test in a row.

This is so heartbreaking given all the anticipation and goodwill for Australia's first tour since 1998.
 
After 0-0 PCB and Rameez can brag about how they secured a well fought draw against the Number 1 Side in the World..
 
Look at where the short leg is standing, nullifies anything that drops short for a catch.

They cant learn from watching Aussies field, poor learners of cricket this bunch.. See when Aus field where Marnus stands for short leg and silly point..
 
Its a shame to call Nauman and Sajid as spinner. Even Azhar and Fawad could be their replacement. Yes man and boastful Saqlain needs to be sacked. He didn't do anything to improve Nauman and Sajid, same way to fixing bowling action of Ajmal. This guy is similar to Waqar.
 
No doubt these have been roads...but we have lost two tosses. I am just curious if we had won the toss last game would we have won i doubt it...

With the bowling attack Pakistan have, except Shaheen, it is very hard to get 20 Aus wickets..

3 times in a row, the top 4 of Aus is solid and keep scoring runs without any issues..
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] this wicket is dedicated to you
 
Naseem has bowled brilliantly in this test with pace.
I m glad he got the wicket.
He is the fastest pacer in Asia in terms of average speed.
 
First time I'm seeing Naseem bowling well - pleasing to see.

Lovely movement.
 
Naseem has been so damn good this innings.

Give him a couple of years and he will be great.
 
Imagine stopping Smith scoring a century on these roads...that's a small win...
 
This round the wicket angle is getting too predictable for Naseem

Needs to go over the wicket and target slips and pads
 
we can get Head he is out of form just like our Faddy is...need to keep the pressure on

Seriously how pathetic this Sajid Khan guy is.
He is torture to watch.

This is the worst display from Pakistani spinners over a home Test series I've ever seen. The Unthreatening Uncles Nauman and Sajid have been awful.

I know these are unresponsive wickets but they can't even pitch the ball on the same length 2-3 balls in a row.

I had doubts about Sajid when I saw him totally crumble under pressure in the 21 QEA Trophy Final when Hasan Ali of all people attacked him.

Saqlain needs to be blamed as well. He didn't anything with Nauman and Sajid.

You can't polish a ****. Both aren't good enough to begin with even if Warne and Murali were coaching.
 
These spinners shouldn't even play first class let alone in national team.
 
pathetic fielding so far in this game, we should be into Aussie lower order if we could catch.
 
Usman Khawaja is in the form of his life. Successfull Ashes and now runs in each test.
Wonderful watching the young quickie Naseem Shah.
Who's the lady commie?
 
we need 2 quick wickets here before the new ball.
 
350 will be a good total on this wicket, we need to looking to bowl Aussies out under 300 some how.
 
Pakistan’s bowling stocks in Pace and Spin both have been pretty low for some time now
 
Nauman and Sajid have to be the worst spin bowling pair going around currently.
 
Naseem's selection was positive and it has yielded results. Nauman and Sajid's selection is defensive because their back-up in the squad also has a poor record.
 
CRR is around 2.5. Thats pathetically slow. If Pak can get 2 or 3 quick wickets, that will cause a massive flutter as Aus have not exactly run away with the game
 
Shaheen shah kinds of lose his efficacy after the.new ball. Not good with reverse at the moment.
 
Lack of good spinners in pakistan domestic is a big upset and the reason are no pitches help the spinners. We need better curators.
 
No positive intent from the Aussie batters is not helping our cause either... Neithrr batsmen taking chances

Not really. Even no. 11 can bat. Australia can easily score around 400 here.
