What's new

Pakistan bowled out for 239 at Stumps on Day 3 thanks to fightback by Faheem (91) and Rizwan (71)

At the pace with which Younis is filling that the diary, he might end up righting encyclopedia by the time the series ends.
 
I don't think... At least he sees off the new ball...
Actually it was middle order fault who couldn't capitalise the advantage

Problem is when our boys survive the new ball they don’t capitalize on seeing off the new ball and before you know it the second new ball is due soon almost like this innings
 
This Jamieson guy is going to have a long great career in test cricket. He is relentless
 
Why is it that Pakistan keep finding fielders even on good shots?

Williamson knows his field settings
 
Already said before t20 series, Jamieson will torment Pakistan.
Going at half a run per over, pretty incredible
 
I like Rizwan's approach to batting. He keeps the score board busy. Maybe, Pakistan might want him to bat at no. 4?
 
Why are these two struggling to time the ball? Fawad scored a 140 odd and Rizwan had 89 in the T20 last week
 
This run rate for modern days tests is absolutely disgraceful. No other team in international cricket Bats like this in test anymore. Scandalous approach

Bro with 50/5 what do you expect? Do you want match to finish within 3 days? Pakistan team knows match is over. They are just trying to avoid follow on and drag the game to 5 days.
 
What a sad and un-inspiring XI.

I knew we would struggle without Babar but this is beyond pathetic.

Azhar has to go. Fawad is embarrassing... I hope he scores runs tho.

Shaheen aside, our bowling isn't threatening at all.

It's good that we are only playing 2 tests

Hopefully in the next one Babar will make a difference.

I'm out fellas, no need to remain awake for these clowns.

The run rate has been like this since the innings started. Absolutely nothing to do with being 5 down.

Gutless approach
 
Just when two guys decide to stand and bat. This happens!

Innings defeat on the cards. This is going to be a Bangladesh level defeat!
 
The whole middle order of fawad, Haris, azhar are the weak points. Lets see if the new guys like haider, rohail, Abdullah shafique kamran ghulam can do better
 
For those complaining about waking up to 80/6 I opened the TV to see my team 36 ao.

Beat that.
 
Should let the bowlers rest and bat again.

2-3 sessions and get another 200+ runs.
 
No way Faheem will last too long. He does not have the patience for a test match. May hit a few boundaries if he gets lucky

It would be awesome if he could pull off a Jadeja. Would do wonders to his chances getting selected in test team for SA series.
 
Did anyone really think Fawad Alam would survive here. Its criminal to bring him to NZ. He is a walking wicket.
 
It's no coincidence that Riz is playing well here, proved along with Babar to be the best two test batsmen in the side.
 
Rizwan with his exploits on this kiwi tour should cement his place for the next 2 years. We need to get better at our succession planning for keepers
 
Faheem to top score here :))
[MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] might think he's living in a parallel universe if that happened.

Meanwhile [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] would start doing cart wheels.

One of only three people who actually merits a place in the team. Others need to be booted pretty quickly, and pretty soon. Abbas looks and sounds good. But he cannot be the strike bowler. A blunt Abbas, no-show Naseem and Yasir mean Shaheen has to bowl long spells and also be the strike bowler.
 
Azhar Ali is finished and has been for a while now. Haris Sohail does not have the confidence or temperament. Both should be discarded.

Haris never had the temperament. The only format he should have played was the ODIs -- given he is neither solid in defence nor quick in scoring. I pointed out yesterday that Haris is going to nick one to the slip (or gully) and he stayed true to that. Goes to show that he has not worked on his weakness at all.
 
How did Azhar Ali and Haris get out? Especially interested in knowing how Haris Lazy Bum Sohail got out.

With his immense tailunt.

The guy has been avoiding some overseas tours and exposed on others barring his “passable” 2018 tour of ENG.
