For those calling for Azhar Ali’s head…

[Grunge101]

Faced 80 plus balls for his 20, and in the end, looked as edgy as he did facing the first ball.. Im actually surprised he survived that long.

But guys he’s a “decent man”

Azhar is not a batsmen, he is a specialist captain.
From that perspective, his innings is pretty good. Consumed 80+ balls, the 20 runs is a bonus

 

[Shaka81]

Typical Azhar Ali innings, going nowhere fast and contributing very little.
Yet still he has people who support him?!

 

[Pacy with wisdom]

OP loves his "decent" men.
I think we should get all the saints, the Allamah's and charity organization heads of our country into the team.

 

[Shazzam]

We deserve captains like Azhar.

Well if decent is the only criteria for being captain then we should appoint masjid khateebs in our cricket team.



Ajeeb jahalat hai.

Bizarre decision to bat first.... these are legit bowl first conditions, and I don’t say that often.

 

[Markhor]

He belongs in the same category of captains as Mohammad Yousuf, Salman Butt and Intikhab Alam.

MICHAEL ATHERTON has some sympathy for Pakistan captain Azhar...

"If he had a crystal ball and knew what was coming I’m sure he would have made a different decision at the toss although to be fair the forecast is like this for the rest of the game. When he won the toss and the sky was blue and it was a wonderful sunny day you felt it looked a batting day and then within forty minutes the clouds had rolled in and we had classic England bowling conditions. Muggy and a bit in the pitch."

But everyone knew it would rain for a better part of the Test match.

Surely, that should also have been taken into consideration.

Is Fawad off the list now too?

All the useless 30 somethings need to be removed.

Fawad scored 0.

Azhar was out 3 times for 20 (bowled with the bails not dislodged, caught behind but not given).

 

[Energy]

Pretty sure Pakistan batted first because of a floating tagline that there is pressure in the 4th innings. Who can blame them though, I wouldn't put my money on Pakistan chasing 150 in the 4th innings.

 

[Badsha]

If Babar Azam took English lessons, would you all want him to be captain instead of Shan?

 

[viveks]

Logically speaking- Rizwan, Babar or Shaheen or maybe even Shan Masood should be cap as they are guaranteed starters and probably should stay in the team. Probably any domestic batsman in Pakistan can have the same output as Azhar Ali right now

Think its between shan and babar rizwan ain't established yet in tests
