Pakistan need the services of a proper spin batting consultant from Sri Lanka or India if they wish to win Asia Cup or World Cup!

[Shafi]

Our batting keeps getting exposed against quality spins. Top Players like Babar, Fakhar are walking wicket against quality spin. Andrew George Puttick could be good against fast bowling but not good enough to teach our batsmen against spin. Since World Cup will be in India where pitches are spin paradise we are in need a proper spins batting consultant preferably from India if not Sri Lanka. Both Australia and England can get away their spin weakness due to their proper power hitter and quality batsmen but we will not make even semi.

Your opinion please!!

No point now

They were under the delusion that they are all set for the World Cup

Now face the music

Pakistan has enough people who could teach about playing spin.

But lets not throw the baby out with the bathwater....it's the first ODI game in a while, on spinning Lankan pitches which are usually different to the flat roads of India these days.

But yes, losing 4 wickets so quickly to relatively straight balls is not good enough.

Its never too late. You can learn something in 2 months, if not than not even 5 years.

Not those former oldies who have no understanding modern days cricket except Younis.

For god sake the wrist slitting never stops

It's the first ODI vs one off if not the best spin attacks on a slow Sri Lankan wicket. 220 is a defendable total.

Our top order and parts of our middle order have proven themselves to be more the capable over the last year and a bit so lets please show some patience

I'm talking about World Cup 2023. Playing like this against Afghanistan will never take us in World Cup semi

Australia before the 2021 WC lost 3-0 vs Bangladesh and what happen next?

 

[YousafTheBeast]

There’s only one option really:

Babar: World Cup?

Shoaib Malik: lol

 

[boomboomcheema]

Very useful partnership so far..

 

[Farabi]

You cannot turn this mess around with “consultancy”. You need good players of spin like Saud in the team.

Australia is a quality team for big matches and their players can perform where our players fail regularly.

 

[Savak]

You can't expect your batters to be good against quality spin when is a massive dearth of quality spin bowling in the national team, domestic circuit and where your pitches don't assist spinners.

We have made the final and semi-final of the last two ICC tournaments

Bi-laterals do not matter what does is tournament performance so what until then before crying

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pakistan has been terrible, but Afghanistan will be a nightmare for most teams in these conditions.

The key will be to come back from this and win the series.

What can they learn in 2 months ?

 

[Saj]

That was a tough wicket to bat on, but too many of our batters fail to stick it out and play silly shots time and again.

It's definitely something that needs addressing.

 

[VForVendetta]

A country that has given birth to Abbas,Miandad, Malik,Yousuf & Younus need spin consultation from outside?? Not to mention guys like Afridi,Shoaib & Hafeez who could bash any spinner on their day. I think the problem is Pak has stopped producing world class spinners.When you have guys like Usman & Zahid representing at the top level, then there are some serious issues.Pitches unlike other 3 subcontinent countries offer very little to nothing.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Babar Azam gets out, and the Pakistan team's batting collapses. How many times we have to witness this??
