That’s actually insane stats. Surprised that is true. I still think we persist and see where this new formation take us in the future. Though I’d take Babar back at 3 if he regains form. But are some of those stats because we’ve bowled teams out for less than 135 this didn’t need to post more?

PCT loves entering new eras every 3 years.

Guys we dont have the talent in Pakistan. That's why Rizbar is still head to head a better option. We can sit them out and watch the current setup and hopefully they come good but I have doubts.

If Md. Haris is the replacement available than you got to be kidding me. I have no stake in Pak cricket for sure but it’s literally like watching a no.11 swing the bat in a test match when every thing is over when this guy bats. Rizwan can’t be that bad, can he? Wth

Sahibzada and Agha are batting at a SR of 95, Saim and Haris cannot buy a run, but new era saar

Pakistan tries to build a unit that will give them a series of 20(10) all the way till 8 so that they get to 200 mostly. But it is not easy for everyone to score 20 in 10 consistntly. If one guy fails next guy will be in a position to compensate with 40 in 20. If that guy also fails third will have score 60 in 30 balls. You get a cascading effect. Pakistan disintegratedother day against India by reaching 99 in 18th over. Loading the side with cameo merchants is a recipe for disaster.
