All the players should have betted the same!
 
Should have made bet with Azhar, Asad and Sarfaraz to not bat like tailenders
 
Condfident kid who walks the walk.

Hopefully Inzi will be in England and can join the meal. :inzi
 
Great stuff :))

Mickey should take everyone to nice restaurant apart from Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Coward Ahmed, send them to a corner and give them some dood and bread
 
I heard rumours that Hafeez betted with Mickey that he would be banned for chucking 3 years in a row..
 
Wow, good stuff from Shadab! Would be nice to see the pics of their meal after.
 
Good stuff, great motivation and good for building team spirit etc.

Now Hasan Ali needs to bet Mickey Arthur that he will survive at least 50 balls with the bat in an innings in every Test!

His dumb slogging is really self-destructive. He’s too short to be a Specialist Test bowler - he needs to get his batting up several grades.

I think Hasan has the ability to be more than handy with the bat.I don’t agree with your 50 balls assessment though.He could easily make 50 off 35-40 balls

But frankly an Afridi style quick 30-50 is almost useless in Tests.

Pakistan needs Hasan Ali to join Shadab Khan or Faheem Ashraf at 320-8 and reliably stay at the crease for 90 minutes until that becomes 390-9.

A quick Hasan Ali slog will leave Pakistan 320-9 more often than it takes them to 380-9.

Batting properly down the order is really important. Both Tests that Pakistan won on the recent tour were won by the batting of Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf.

And the one they lost they lost because of the runs added by England’s last 3 wickets.

You have a point.I am not disagreeing that he has to improve his batting.I'm saying he is capable of more than just hanging around.
 
Shadab has the kind of swag this Pakistan team has been desperately lacking since the Wasim era (I used to enjoy seeing Afridi in the team for this reason alone sometimes). It's great to see a young lad with terrific self confidence like this.

More than anything I'm very happy with the much improved fashion sense in our current generation of cricketers.

Gone are the black belt, brown shoes with green fedora days of Umar h20.
 
I think Sarfraz also bet him that if he won us the Champions Trophy then he will stop performing altogether.

Signs of a healthy team environment.

Good point Junaids, you're also vindicated by the current partnership between Dowrich and Bishoo in the ongoing Test between WI and SL.
