For Shaheen’s sake I hope we only have to bowl once.

What does the future hold for Misbah and Waqar now? How long does pcb plan to persist with him.
This 5 bowler strategy has been an epic fail from Misbah.
It has achieved nothing but will cost us massively when it is our time to bat.
How many more humiliations til we get rid of him?
Our bowling is worse than our batting in test matches in last few years. Everyone thinks it is our batting that is the ussue in SENA conditions but in last few tours of Australia and NZ especially our bowling has been exposed. If you focus on India there batting has been pretty average but it is their bowling that kept them in first test match and the second one right now.

If Misbah had any shame he would resign after this test match, there's only so many humiliations he can be a part of in good conscience.
Outttt
Kane will quietly get a double here, Nicholls will probably score a hundred as well. Fun times.
I read you're post as I submitted mine. Something to cheer about for Naseem.
We have gotten lucky with the wicket. It is time to take a genuine wicket to restrict NZ.
Naseem should run in bowl fast, ignore the management. Both times hes bent his back he's created chances.
If Pak somehow get Kane out in this session, game is back in the balance.
I think he’s been told he will risk his back and career if he bowls like that. So they’ve been trying to remodel his action into a slower, less stressful version.
Add to that ke Naseem is a heavily rhythm-dependent bowler, and is coming back from injury. The slower pace, shorter runup, less slingy action all make sense.
Waqar thinks too much because his back was broken in his prime. We are not a charity team or care home team, we want to win. If he cant bowl fast, he's not good enough to be in the team.
Well Williamson would have been out lbw if the umpire called it. Also, Abbas dropped a dolly off of Naseem.
Chances are being created.
To quote Shoaib Akhtar - “it’s the psychological complexes that some people in the management hold that affect their decisions and end up holding Pakistan back.”
It’s such a shame Yasir can’t bowl a good googly otherwise I’d bring him after this over and say to him to bowl a googly first up.
He does ball a googly which he sparingly uses but, unfortunately doesnt spin much even on spinning wickets.
Clean catch
Don't like cheating umpires
True. If I can remember correctly Shadab has a spinning googly too however he doesn’t use it often anymore.
How is soft signal not out?
Shadab’s problem in recent times has been his stock ball consistency, loop and flight. His bowling sometimes is too flat. He is still young so hopefully he can put in some hard yards.
Disgraceful umpiring
If you ever need clear proof of bias...this is it.
How was the soft signal not out? So Harris Sohail was basically cheating according to the umpire by claiming that catch?
