He's the worst and dumbest cricket commentator going around. The worst part about watching a PAK series is having to listen to him on commentaryMate, this is the same guy who claimed Pakistan shpuld adopt an aggressive mindset and then used himself as an example
His commentary is not to be taken seriously. Ramiz can't stop living in the 1970's.
Not an issue of liking/disliking. I don't agree that he is a free flowing batsman. Shan and Salman Ali Agha have batted more freely in this innings alone.
100% agreed
I think he's a good player. In many ways a classical sub-continental player. But there is no denying that he is limited. His inability to play the short ball was exposed time and time again in Australia. Definitely needs to evolve to be successful in different conditions and formats.
Rightly predicted
He's the only batter who actually paddle scoop and reverse sweep and play the inside put drive and play cut shots against spin in our entire unit
Bro are you serious? Your hero got out on 0 of 12? Today isn't the day to gloat
Where have even hinted that I am a Shan supporter?If they do that then game is a draw and if they wish to play for a draw then go for it.
I'm sure Shan supporters will be very happy that their favourite captain is maintaining a win % of 0
Tbh, Gower was a couple of minutes ago.
I meant earlier when Nas and co were questioning the pitch and intent mostly.
I didn't call you a sham supporter bro. I'm taking my frustrations out on other Shan supporters and seeking validation from a Bangladeshi supporter who agrees with me?
Well criticizing non-English pitches is a force of habit for them
This is not a first time..
No point of declaration .... Just bat long
He should give strike to Agha instead of trying to become a hero here.
He is the Asad Shafiq we always wanted but didn’t get it.Agha deserves to be rated higher
Bats with tailenders yet has a top order average
Sensible thing would be that I agree.
But he is scoring runs. Thats what matter in test cricket.
Shan played 177 balls and scored 151
He is too timid on such pitches
But on many other days saud outscored shan. I will have saud over shan in my test team on any given day.
I believe Saud's role was to anchor the inns till the end. It was Rizwan, Agha, Jamal and Shaheen's job to accelerate.
Naw, theirs no plan. Everyone is just doing what they wants. A key weakness in our team ever since Babar and Shan took over
Anchoring is one thing but being stuck at one end and leaving wide four balls on this pitch was very poor.

Statistician on Test Match Special
It is the first time England have conceded 500 runs since the Rawalpindi Test at the start of their last series when Pakistan made 579 in response to England's 650-plus score.
This is England's 23rd Test since then and their third 500-plus score conceded in this decade so far - the other being at Trent Bridge against New Zealand. Both times, they have gone on to win the Test match.
Yes. Right. Pakistan should not declare unless 600 .
Old school off spinner who just block one end allowing the fast bowlers to pick up wickets from another end.
He already surpassed the over-hyped Saim.
Disappointing staff. I m missing Graham Swann
