What happened yo Naseem? Is he injured?

He is not injured. After he got the wicket of Warner, Azhar Ali didn't use him at all. Naseem has been at the field for over 3 hours having not bowled a single ball after he got Warner out and instead Azhar chose to use Haris and Iftikhar... Azhar Ali must resign immediately, tonight would be good.

Still an upgrade over Sarfaraz.

You cannot say that with a straight face. Sarfraz was deservedly removed from the role and the team, but neither Azhar or Misbah deserved the positions they've been given since, and tactics wise they've been the furthest thing imaginable from an upgrade

Actually he isn't an upgrade. Azhar Ali has been using part-timers of Haris and Iftikhar the whole day and hasn't used Naseem for the last 3+ hours. And Azhar Ali has a very defensive, poor mindset and a very defensive field. Sarfraz was poor also, but at least he looked to attack more. Azhar Ali needs to resign immediately

It’s not his fault IK was releasing all the pressure with his trash at the other end.

Its always everyone elses fault.
Imran khan(pm) and richard hadlee had to take the attack by themselves.
But bowling partnerships are important.
 
This will be an innings defeat. Demoralising. Azhar accepting defeat is even more disappointing.
 
Lmfaooo Aussie’s trolling us even joshy is gonna have a bat and even warne chuckling what is josh hazlrwood posisbly gonna get out of this lmao so true
 
Australia are waiting for Yasir Shah's double century before declaring
 
I would have love to see Naseem bowling to tail, just boost his confidence. But seniority matters:salute
 
Double up for Yasir.

He will never learn how to bowl in Australia.
 
Not many spinners will make an impact in Australia, but the problem with Yasir is his economy rate. As a leg-spinner, he offers little control when he is not on top of the batsmen and regularly goes for over 4 runs per over.

This is where finger-spinners like Ashwin and Jadeja are more helpful. You can’t hope to draw a match in Australia when your main spinner is getting ODI treatment.

Captain is be blamed as well. Under Kohli Yasir would do a great job.

Don’t think so. India have been reluctant to play leg-spinners in Test cricket because their finger-spinners get the job done. They are as effective as leg-spinners on turning tracks but offer more control on flat tracks.

He has bowled far better than Yasir in Australia. He rarely gets hammered even when he is not taking wickets.

He has never conceded 200 runs in his career. Yasir has already done 3 times. Also Ashwin consistently creates chances. Quiet a few times fielders let him down. He averaged 25 in the first test but got dropped for Jadeja next test.
 
Yasir needs to concentrate on bowling 6 good deliveries in an over, not just 3/4 good deliveries and 1/2 hit me balls.

Yasir also has to learn that outside asia he has to spin the ball more sideways(legbreaks) to get caught by slips, as theres not that much spin available and he wont get too many bowled or lbws.
 
A shame that we won’t be breaking our worst innings defeat record.

Bro he’s 19 and it’s his first Test out in Australia and he’s been our best bowler. What is wrong with you guys?
 
Aus all out. Yasir's figures of 4-205 looks like a great 1st inning t20 total.

Dont get angry, i rate the kid, but just giving honest feed back.
He started patchy, but got better as the game went on. But did not use his height and bowl 1/2 bouncers an over, which was required on these bouncey tracks.
 
Naseem shah is clearly injured . Why is he in the team if they are not going to put him in the ringer
 
Asad and babar need to score double centuries.
Shaan, azhar, haris, have to try to score 50s
And whatever ifti, yasir and shaheen can add!

Sounds impossible, probably impossible, but just remember that this is a pancake of a pitch
 
Don't know who this lad Shaan Masood is, seeing him bat for the first time. Boy! he surely has better technique and temperament than the overrated Fakhar.

Fakhar is garbage, but Masood needs to learn how to score runs from Imam.

Again if he isn’t injured why is he even in the team if he won’t do his primary function. This is not a touring game this is a TEST MATCH

Teenager, on Test debut in Australia. They're probably looking to manage his workload. Or just Azhar being defensive.
