Current Pakistan senior batsmen, epitome of selfishness?

[in_cutter]

Here we have a situation where we need runs on the board..Tea has come & gone yet they have not crossed 150. These guys play for their own selfish selves rather than the team.

This is shameful/painful/embarassing to watch.

Misbah being the pioneer.

Yeh, keep blaming him.

Misbah was 10x the batsman of some the current lot. Good too see Misbah still giving you nightmares. Long may it continue.

What situation? Are we chasing 300 on the final day? It's a test match. There are 5 days and considering how out of touch some of the batsmen have been after that demoralizing defeat there's no issue in grinding it out.

I feel some posters such as yourself seem to have very high expectations. Realize the fact that we don't have any Kohli, Smith Root. Guys like Azhar, Haris are limited batsmen and by no means the most naturally gifted but they still gritted it out justified their approach by making valuable contributions unlike Shafiq and the openers who seemed to be struggling to show some patience.

I really respect misbah and the way he portrayed the image if Pak and handled the team after 2010 scandal and took us to no 1 ranking.

But, 10 x the current lot? You mean 10 x of Babar, Haris, Fakhar?

Azhar ali is the only proven batsman we have, really can't fathom the criticism for him. You idiots be acting like we got brian lara waiting in the wings to light the world on fire. All the saads and sauds of the world haven't shown **** in international cricket. grow up

200/4 must have lost 1 session to rain.

Even jose mourhino would be proud of these defensive tatctics.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Persistence with Asad Shafiq keeps on costing us.

 

[leg-side-flick]

You guys are ahead on Day 1.... There is no point being 280/7 after day 1 with the test ending around lunch on day 5.

Pak did the right thing, bat first, bat long, minimise risks and score 400, after that NZ can't win and there can only be one winner.....

Question is will they have passed 350+ with wickets in hand at close of day 2
