Misbah doctrine

Block block .. and wait till magic happens.
 
Have to say this Kiwi team is really good.. KW has added so much more to them.

Kiwis might have been spanked by PCT before but with PCT not improving and Kiwis having improved this was always gonna be an issue..

So jealous of NZ the country their per capita contribution to any field is remarkable.

For South Africa Home Series I would Replace Abid with Imran Butt, Azhar for Abdullah Shafique, Haris for Saud Shakeel and I will persist with Shan Masood for now but he hasn’t done anything since the one century against England so I may give Imam his spot soon.

Abid has been a great home track bully till now. So would be a tough call. :haider

As if waqar himself is any better. But when u can get big paycheck for doing nothing then why bother. I don't blame them, blame those who hire these genius.

i totally agree to blame those that hired the 2 pathetic unprofessional coaches. Maybe Amir was right about the "yes boss" statement. Anyhow, for Pak cricket to move forward, Misbah and waqar need to be replaced. Therefore a hammering from NZ might cause the removal of the 2. We coukd possibly have a new coach for SA series which will be good as it will be Mohammed Wasim first assignment. If misbah is still in charge, do u really think he will allow Wasim to select the squad he wants? Misbah will interfere for experienced Azhar and Asad and rest of the garbage

wagner has good stats for such a mediocre one dimensional bowler. Is he a home track bully? never heard of him doing anything decent oveseas

He was fantastic in Australia a year ago got Steve Smith out again and again.
 
Unless we can figure out what the problem is, mental or other, we won't progress as a team.

We are playing with a minnow mentality. This is just pathetic. Regroup after the series. Decide who to persist with and who's dead weight. Experiment. That's all that's left.

Probably our strongest all round team. Definitely since i have been watching.
 
In this match...Abbas has just not allowed any flow to Pakistan with the ball and later with the bat.

You want to be batting with a guy who is going to look to score runs in the morning. Not a guy who is going to try and survive until the end of the Test with 5 runs off 700 balls!

Most boring and uninspiring cricketer ever!
 
Pakistan shouldn't be allowed to play Test cricket against top tier teams.

Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan should play in a separate division. Would be less embarrassing
 
Misbah fingerprints are all over this Tuk Tuk Innings. Would like to see him replaced by Andy Flower or Gary Kirsten? When does Misbah contract expire?

Er Rahane goes into his shell many times as well..

He was batting really well. Top knock for his team, well played. Shame he was run out, there was no need to take the risk. Given aussies a lucky break. Even though im not Indian but i still like to support Asian teams when they play abroad, therefore rooting for an indian comeback this test.
 
Terrible last few days for Pak fans, India on way to famous win with their B team and we on our way to Another embarrassing loss.
 
Tbf I would swap Fawad and Rizwan with Azhar and Harris

These two seem to be in good form and will probably look for a better 4th wicket partnership than jobber Azhar and lazy Harris
 
Insane. He ain’t the resigning type either I don’t think. Very disappointed in Shan actually some people had him down as the test captain to replace Azhar, apart from being a well spoken person I don’t see what he brings to the team as an opener apart from one good innings out of 10.
 
Stopped watching cricket after misbah and waqar took over

Last I heard was Mickey is a disgrace and misbah is the saviour and Pakistan cricket will be touching new heights

And some sort of injustice was happing to fawad Alam
 
Shubman Gill (first test for IND) looks a better player than any Pak batsman on display this test. Gill played confidently and with intent, something Azhar Ali has never done unless his career was on the line. The slimy little rat
 
Haha

now i find this hilarious
maybe if rizwan can make 15 runs he can stay too

Shan is a good player, but he only plays ome format and that too only a few matches a year. I think its difficult to perform your best when pak only plays a few test a year

*i would swap Azhar and Haris, in favour of Fawad and Rizwan.*

Grammar nazi in the house lol
 
I'm just glad Babar Azam wasn't captaining. Otherwise, people would be blaming his captaincy and asking for the aggressive Shadab and Rizwan to be made captains. LOL. Hopefully, now people will know Pakistan's level. Lakin yeh baaz nahi aayenge inko specialist captains chahiye.
 
If you look at this team we only have 3 players of international quality- Babar, SSA and Riz. The rest are barely FC level.
 
I understand this but their is other players who also do this, Pujara for example only plays tests and averages a lot better, I just think he don’t kick on like he should
 
This wicket has decent support for pacers. Unfortunately Pakistan lacks quality in all departments and a coaching staff which operates on a match to match basis than a long term vision

Pujara is a better player, plus India play a lot more test cricket than pakistsn. Furthermore I think india domestic FC play more games
 
The batting approach definitely has a Misbah sign on it, but now PAK has a specialist batting coach .... however, overall bowling was equally disappointing.

Who is Kamran Ghulam?
 
Should Pakistan Team starts preparations from home. I think Pakistan should go for the Green wickets at home series and take a risk of developing players for the next year or so. May be this will help them come out of this fear of failure on green tops. Why are we so afraid to do that, we will never learn to become a good side unless we dont give conditions to these guys at home to tackle bounce and pace.

A lot for Mohammed Wasim to ponder and rebuild as new selector

They have avoided the tough decisions for years, the likes of Malik and Hafeez have had an extra decade, the likes of AA and AS got years of freebies. The likes of Abid and Haris asr mentally weak, the likes of Yasir can't bowl in places like NZ and Abbas is just a waste of space
 
Sami and Amir will be like:

What is the lowest total at the 80 over mark in history of Test cricket?

We are on course to get 90 in 80 overs
 
Much to our shock, India is on top of Australia as well, so cannot ease the pain by dancing in the other thread like we did a week ago.

Oh ok... Is he all rounder?

He started as a batting allrounder. His bowling if developed can be better than Imad. Kamran currently is a way better batsman than most of the current test and odi squad. He will be playing for pak soon inshallah
 
Look on the bright side, at least we beat 36 and might reach 100.

What a borefest this commentary is, wow...

THere must be more qualified commentators in New Zealaand?
 
After 50 overs , 65 . 5

After these many overs they should been at least 130 , absolutely pathetic mindset
 
Good to see some of the older posters coming out and commenting on this historic batting performance.
