For that you need batsman with a clue on how to play spin. Let alone attack. So no hopes.

See, and this lot will win in UAE vs even better spinners. As I just said no hope. As if they have first time faced spin in life.
 
Huge wicket for Eng. Babar didn’t get going today
 
That's the reason why Babar, in his current state, will never be better than Kohli. Temperament is not up to par.
 
Why do Pakistanis feel that the only way to hit a spinner for 6 is by dancing out of the crease!
 
Maybe its just me but, the wicket seems to be sticking a tad bit from a good length.
 
50-1 at the end of the power play isn’t the worst start by any means, rizwan needs to go big and maqsood needs to hang around not do anything silly here
 
If you notice clearly, Babar seems to have stopped to play drives since last series. He is only hacking or pulling towards mid on or wid wicket and doesn't play late now.
I think these are the instructions from the management, haider before getting dropped stopped to play drives or flicks as well and was only going for hacks
 
All the people who is saying Babar is soft, maybe rightly said but not today. Babar was not timing at all today.

He would had been soft and selfish if he had stayed on pitch wasting balls and then get going. Instead he was trying to hit and show intent. And then got out instead of wasting too much ball waiting to get himself settled on the pitch. Learn to follow the game guys.

Today he was neither soft or selfish, just out of touch.

“English conditions” probably playing on his mind. When your minds scrambled then you just try and swipe and hack your way out of trouble.

And result is same and that's what matters in the end.
 
I don't get when you have a specialist opener who's a dasher in Fakhar, why is he batting at 4?

He looked so nervous and was playing uncharacteristically in a decider. We can all have our own interpretations
 
Pak batsmen against spin have been embarrassing to say the least. World T20 in UAE will be a struggle if they cant do some fixes.
 
Poor from Maqsood once again. Couldn’t target Livingstone so went after Rashid.
 
Maqsood hasn't improved one alot from last time I seen him in Pakistan colours.

Giving his wicket away again as he has been doing throughout the series.
 
Hafeez is in pretty bas form. Important innings for him
 
Watching Maqsood bat throughout this series, I have always gotten the feeling that he is one ball away from throwing his wicket away. Felt it again today and sure enough he did just that.
 
Hopefully those who complained that Maqsood doesn't get enough time in the middle have got their answers by now? :inti
 
Whenever Hafeez comes in, commentators can only say “experience”. They can’t think of any complimentary things to say about him. Sums up Pakistani cricket in many ways.
 
Shahdab should really be watching how Adil is bowling. The biggest flaw in this lineup is lack of a spinner who can fetch you wickets. I’m pretty sure hafeez is being shielded for WC 21 . His bowling will be an important factor on those slow pitches.
 
Well at least Maqsood got his chances at 3. Unfortunately no improvement in his game , whatsoever.
