ehsan adil got clarke in his very first over.. but yet he was not given the new ball...is he not a new ball bowler....
 
Ehsan adil showing critics his class and worth got wicket maiden over
 
Adil should definitely be playing the first test.Yasir and Babar are shaping up to be the spinners.

That leaves the fourth bowler's spot?? i still think we should go with Hafeez if they are thinking of making turners.
 
attaullah havent played any first class how come he got selected and his bowling is also not bad atm...
 
Lol why would you do this early in your innings (unless you're Afridi)


25.4
Ehsan Adil to Smith, no run, outside off, batsman gives it wild swing , does not connect through to the keeper

Ataullah has got he most purchase off the track among all seamers.
 
Raza Hasan isn't a spinner.

Seems Aussies have a plan and that is too get out to all the pacers quickly so PCB choose them over the spinners.
Once test start they will feast on them.

Do you know much about Doolan? How is he? Do you rate him?
 
the pakistan A side's performance here in this match clearly shows that the pakistan national senior side are not selecting the deserving players for right formats though they have a good amount of talent and resources available back home...

He's a good honest shield player with good temperament and a solid technique. Knows his limitations and bats to them.

Has been one of the top shield scorers each year for a while now though with high 30s,low 40s average. Bellerive is a massive greentop though.

Played well in a few tour matches.

Earned a go but not good enough to be in the team in the long run

could be... as usual the aussies play the mind game very well, and they knock u out with your thinking.
 
Ataullah seems to be troubling the batsmen out there. Unlucky not to get any wicket yet. Did trouble M Clarke more than couple of times going by cricinfo commentary.

I see, any idea how he is against spin? He seems to be playing decently at the moment.

It's hard to tell because shield wickets don't really favour spinners.

I can't imagine that he'd be good on a turner

Will be interesting. If he's got a solid technique, temperament, and knows his limitations, he may just weather the storm.
 
Seriously wishing Sadaf was playing this game. What does the poor guy have to do to get selected?
 
Karamat should bowl in this session hopefully; really interested to see how he goes.
 
does Imran ger the ball to reverse considering he is a carbon copy of Gul he should imo.
 
Adil getting the ball to swing into the right hander.


30.6
Ehsan Adil to Doolan, FOUR, good inswinging delivery, forcing the batsman onto the backfoot gets an edge but goes between 3rd slip and gully

And they didn't bowl him till the 23 :)))

I hope its tactical as others have suggested, that they want to hide Ehsan because he will play in the tests.


I still fear he will get overlooked though, purely because he isn't the most senior bowler

Yeah if he's getting it to swing with the old ball, he'd definitely be a handful with the new ball..

Imran has a good reverse ...

Ataullah and imran showing good signs of bench stock .

So far good performance by A side. They are bowling in a plan which is good. The way they freeze Clarke's off stump and did not allow him to play pull seems good.

BTW who is coaching them?

Asad also is impressive in rotatipn and he did not allow batsman to settle against bowlers than to playing condition in which he can use plenty of front line bowler. Apart from late introduction of ehsan and no signs of karamat as ad has done reasonable job in handling bowlers.

Can't say anything on his field placement and approach .... Defensive or aggressive but from cricinfo it seems he is maintaining good pressure on Aussies. Still a long way to go
 
Pakistan at the 33 over mark were 91/2. Aus 80/3 but I dont see any Aussies mentioning their SR :-P
 
Why cricinfo is suggesting

Ehsan Adil as RFM
Imran Khan as RMF

Imran I think is way faster than Ehsan
 
Talha is back

Where is karamat ???? Someone should inform Asad that Karamat is a leggie and not a batsman who can bowl.
 
Most of the Aussie batsmen so far have looked scratchy its a shame they have this warm up game as without it we could have caught them cold in the test series
 
I like this format (90 overs per inning ) more than test format it gives you surity about result.

How about adopting it for test 125 overs per inning .... Sounds interesting

they are auditioning the fast bowlers from the test ateleast 2 of them will play Karamat is very unlikely to get a game even if he picks a fifer.

From one end you can take audition of pacers but from other end spinners should be bowling more to check their bowling ability ... Spinners can not be judged in just one spell or couple of covers they need time to adjust specially wrist spinners .

Karamat is a good prospect I think you are right I think they have made their mind to play Yasir and zulfi and searching for two spots of pacers
 
They're attacking the pacers now; should get Raza and Karamat to bowl in tandem

not convinced but something they should experiment with imo, especially in first class cricket

That might do what T20's did for ODI Cricket. Increase batsmen hitting rate and bowlers focus will shift towards containing runs. Will take away from the true test and pleasure that can be test matches.
 
Although it is not a bad idea at all. But I doubt they will want to experiment such a big change in tests.
 
so was everyone hyping Karamat Ali that he can't even get one over to bowl now?
 
Raza looks unthreatening.

isnt a test bowler yet, last year was his first decent first class season, needs more time

Having said that i have no idea why Karmat isnt bowling.

Is he injured?
Has Shafiq forgotten about him?
Or is this some masterplan? :moin

Honestly man, this is so frustrating. Why select him if you aren't going to bowl him ??
 
Get a grip. Perpetual infants on this thread: if x bowler is bowling, why is z bowler not bowling.
 
ya y not bowl karamat ali... he was named in the fourteen man list...shouldnt they try all the bowlers to know where do they stand...
 
That was some other Ataullah, that guy was a spinner

Karamat Ali to Doolan, no run, goes for a frontfoot defense but was deceived by the spin

So he can actually spin the ball. Finally an attacking option.
 
already deceived the batsman with the spin useless Raza has not moved the ball an inch

Oh yeah; just figured two Ataullah's were reported actually. This is what F. Lakhani wrote on PP:

Attaullah reported in senior inter district plays for Sanghar (he's off spinner)
Attaullah reported in T20 tournament plays for Bahawalpur (he's a fast bowler)

Stupid to play him then... :facepalm:
