Those Pakistan ratings are too generous. Shan Masood B minus for what?

I am a generous guy lol. Give your ratings

@Dhakar Pola lol you took inspiration from my performance reviews thread, just changed 1 to 10 to A to F.

But I disagree with the ratings.

Let's start with Pakistan

1) Shan deserves an E in batting. One 50 is not good enough, he still averaged 26 in this series, which is unacceptable for a test batter batting at 3. 3 in test which is considered the position where your best batsmen bats.

2) Ayub Deserves a D. 2 50's means nothing. The 2nd innings is where pakistan needed him the most.

Him getting out on 1 in the 1st test and 20 on the 2nd test when especially in the 2nd test his job was to build a killer lead is unacceptable.

3) Rizwan should Get a B He didn't do a damn in the 2nd test, in the first Test he did well but his innings during the 2nd session where he was batting with the tail,l was irresponsible, he's a senior batter and it is not acceptable.

4) Agha and Saud at C

5) All the bowlers need to be put 1 or 2 grades down excluding the ones you've given F.

Now for Bangladesh

1) Sadman and Zakir C

2) Shanto a D, He did fine for the 2nd innings in the 2nd test, could have easily thrown it away and put pressure on the lower order.

3) Mominul a C

4) Shoriful an A

Though Rizwan ended up with the highest run, one should also consider the hole he left his team during his departure 3/4 innings - that too playing silly shots to get out. More like a B-
