Honestly Yasir shah was not at all penetrative. Every over he bowled too full or too short alteast once or twice.
 
Brainless defensive captaincy throughout. Seen no out of box solutions so far in getting wickets - no hunger to attack the batsmen.
 
Just to re-emphasize how damaging imran’s inclusion is in the line up: they have to bring in Naseem Shah to keep things tight, so he will be tired by the time the new ball comes in
 
PM Imran should look into the inside of Pak cricket. Pak cricket is in wrong hands , I shall say deformed hands which have disabled Pak cricket.

The present setup is PM Imran Khan’s brainchild. He got Wasim Khan to appoint Misbah as the coach & chief selector. Misbah & Wasim Khan are SELECTED ones, just like Immy.
 
Is there a wicket keeper in Pakistan who can keep well? Forget about batting as that is too much to ask, and just find someone who can do a decent job behind wickets and does the basic stuff right.
 
Australia takes 10 wickets in one day after being put into bowling. And on 2nd day pitch, Pakistan takes just one. At best they will take one more in whole day. I don't think this is related to ball or pitch etc these things just help build on talent and skills. Currently the gulf between these two countries is extremely huge. SENA countries perform well when they come to uae/sl or ban as compared to Asian countries travelling there barring India. At least India gives them run for their money. Pakistan specially has such a rich background in cricket. People expect them to be better than this. They surrender in South Africa, new Zealand and Australia. Only in England they have competed well in recent times
 
64 overs in 5 hours. Atrocious over-rate, and Yasir has bowled 20 and Iftikhar 6.

With the 30 mins extra, maximum they'll get is around 84-85 overs today..

Australia was also guilty of it. But atleast they got some wickets. Here they will dock points in Test championship.
 
My God, this field is so damn defensive. Even if they beat the batsman, don't see how a chance will be created.
 
This is such uninspiring captaincy and coaching. If nothing's going your way then do something out of the box. They have an ODI field set for a test match when they desperately needs wickets.
 
Watch Pakistani batsman bat here tomorrow. The pitch will turn into a demon.

To be honest with you yesterday the pitch was doing alot more. Aussies bowled better lengths but the pitch had some juice. Today it's jus been gun barrel straight.
 
Score 650 , pakistan will lose by an innings and 280 runs. Pakistans bowling is just not good enough, especially imran khan and yasir shah.
 
He is not in the leagues of Akhtar yet to consistently clock close to 150k. He is still young. He has to listen to his body or else he could end up getting injured.

Akhtar would be.off the field right now looking at the score and the temperature

Why these things always happen with Pakistan then? Answer this question will pitch get more bowling friendly when Pakistan come on to bat?
 
Labu is a strong on side player. I hardly see Nasim bowling off stump channel to right handers. He is relying on the batsman missing his straight ball.
 
I think Pakistani players, coaches and ezpert use the word fit more than actually fit countries: Australia

No. But after being in the field for so long watch them all throw there wickets away. Our batsmen are mentally weak. They go in a complete shell and then throw their wicket away. We definitely need a sports psychologist and a well established batting coach.

They are bowling Nasim now because uncle imran will be given the privilege of wasting the new ball, even though he has been the worst of the fast bowlers
 
with that action , can he even bowl an incoming delivery?

He has raw pace at this point. Other skills are average. Hasan Ali has this ball that decks back to the right handers after pitching. Abbas also bowls that ball well. One that comes back in after pitching. That will be handy against right handers.

We battered england and australia in the uae!

Drew the last 2 series with england in england.

We are a swing and spin bowling team. No swing and spin in australia, just aggressive bouncers track!
 
This is depressing. Whats more scary is steve smith hasn't even batted yet. Not playing muhammad Abbas is a huge mistake.

Can Labu -skuh-nee make a career defining ton here? Home conditions and he won't get an easier bowling attack to face in tests.
 
People are talking about Abbas as he is some world beater. He would also have been cannon fodder here.

Starc and Cummins are world class bowlers and probably will go through Pakistan again on same pitch.

I hope people now realize THE DIFFERENCE between Shaheen and Naseem who we think are some ATGs in the making over 2 ACTUAL world class bowlers and one Hazlewood who might not be world class but better than the entire battery of Pakistan pace bowlers.

It has nothing to do with the pitch. All about experience and ability to hit right lenghts and channels consistently. We are FOOLING ourselves if we think the pitch has changed completely.

As I said barring England we have been garbage against everyone else. New Zealand have swing conditions. SA has swing and bounce both. Pakistan couldn't even beat sl in uae so that's the answer for the spin. We did beat Australia but at least they competed better than this. Pakistan goes to NZ, SA AUS only to get whitewashed. I don't see things changing in next test too unless some magic happens

Even the commentators have said today and tomorrow are the best days to bat on this pitch. Hazlewood was trash outside australia. In these conditions, you need tall, mean fast bowlers, who bowl at your head and chest with the ball. Naseem is too short for these conditions, but shaheen has not been aggressive enough.
Having said that, this is a 400+ pitch and our batters only scored 240, so blame lies with them.

You have not watched him in Ashes this year
