Hurraira Committing himself on backfoot when ball is landing at his feet lucky to escape with umpire call

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

umpire's call saved him... That would have been a goner. HURRAIRA.

does nt seem to know when to play back foot or front foot

 

[emranabbas]

does nt seem to know when to play back foot or front foot

I know everyone is raving about his domestic average of 48, but he only managed an average of 30 last season and 30 the season before that. However, he did have a standout season in 22/23 with an average of 70, bolstered by 4 not outs.

 

[jamie smith]

maaz sadaqat or azan should have been selected instead of hurraira,they are certainly not tailenders against pace

 

[FearlessRoar]

Hurraira Committing himself on backfoot when ball is landing at his feet lucky to escape with umpire call

The umpires' calls have been harsh on the Windies today.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Very mediocre fielding efforts here from west indies.

Pakistan openers need to cash in on these freebies

 

[BouncerGuy]

Wasted review... Poor poor stuff.... walk boy...walk

 

[kingusama92]

Forgettable debut Test for Hurraira with the bat.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Hurraira gone lbw

 

[jamie smith]

parchi gone

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Wasted review... Poor poor stuff.... walk boy...walk

Absolutely correct he was encouraged by a brainless captain

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wow, babar lucky to miss that 1st ball

 

[jamie smith]

nepal e azam wiont last long

 

[Omer2002]

This is a hard pitch to bat on and we cant play spim

 

[emranabbas]

maaz sadaqat or azan should have been selected instead of hurraira,they are certainly not tailenders against pace

Maaz Sadaqat, Azan Awais, Ali Zaryab, or Shazaib Khan one of them should have been here instead of Hurraira. Hurraira won't last outside Asia with his 30 average from the last 2 seasons

 

[FearlessRoar]

Hurraira gone lbw

He is not a ready-made product for international cricket - his footwork against spin is very weak.

 

[emranabbas]

If you cant play long innings in FC your not going to play long innings in tests

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar the overrated arrives, such a loserish Body language.

 

[Hyder]

If we are going to make such pitches than we should also make our batting order suitable for such pitches. Saud should bat ahead of others as he is best at playing spin.

Hurraira is not ready for intl cricket. He doesnt know whether to go on backfoot kr front foot.
Heck even sarfraz will do good against spinners.
I d say imam has more chance of scoring than hurraira but good luck to young lad for next match

 

[jamie smith]

whare are the people who were saying hurraira is the bradman of spin

 

[Amjid Javed]

Nice shot 6 by Shan

 

[Fazzy321]

Masood out of his nervous 20s

 

[Amjid Javed]

He is not a ready-made product for international cricket - his footwork against spin is very weak.

No Pakistan cricketer is ready made product for international cricket.

Writing a player off after 1 test is very silly

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shan taking the game head on

Good stuff

 

[TeymurBlake]

Seales bowled beautifully to Hurraira

However Hurraira has been at the crease long enough to get some runs.

 

[Kianig89]

Good aggressive intent by Shan , well done

 

[Kianig89]

The biggest player in Pakistan cricket Babar Azam on crease now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Babar OUT lbw to Warrican

Again dismissed against left arm spin

 

[FearlessRoar]

Shan has played spin exceptionally well in this innings, coming down the track confidently and reaping the rewards.

 

[Rana]

Yeh kya hua?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Clueless batting from babar out for 5

 

[kingusama92]

Babar against left-arm spin is a joke.

 

[Rana]

The biggest player in Pakistan cricket Babar Azam on crease now

Lekin bhaijaan…

The biggest player bhaijaaan???

 

[Kianig89]

Not good from Babar

 

[Rana]

Road Banao

Meri mahi ke liye Road banao

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan batsmen are clueless against spin, its only that WI batsmen are worse that's saving them

 

[boomboomcheema]

Babar pathetic loser

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

ZIMBABAR WITH ANOTHER BRILLIANT KNOCK A match winning 5

 

[Kianig89]

Babar should.sit out from 2nd test or drop him for next game , shift your mind.get ready for CT

 

[jamie smith]

nepal e azam,the king of parchis gone

 

[Rana]

Ramiz Raja ko Wapis Lao!!!

 

[boomboomcheema]

And this guy was once being with compared with Kohli and Smith.

 

[ExpressPacer]

This ultra defensive approach by Babar will render him a 30s averaging batsman despite all his talent.

 

[Rana]

Babar should.sit out from 2nd test or drop him for next game , shift your mind.get ready for CT

Why? You clueless fans deserve this!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Clever bowling turn and bounce for Warrican

 

[Omer2002]

Clearly warrican should have started the bowling not motiw

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan still in strong position and Shan is set which is good

 

[Rana]

Is Test cricket getting any easier for this FTB?

 

[jamie smith]

now the overhyphed tailender walks to the crease

 

[Rana]

Pakistan still in strong position and Shan is set which is good

Shan is in a good position

You are in an uncomfortable position

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Come on Babar - 3 consecutive 50s vs South Africa!

 

[Rana]

I just switched on to watch Babar bat

I knew it wasn’t going to be long

 

[psyoptica]

Babar never was a good batsman. He hit a purple patch and made good use of his PR. He was never going to be successful in the long run

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan can reach 240 by close of play of full session is allowed

 

[emranabbas]

Don't understand hate for shan plays atleast one decent innings almost every test

 

[jamie smith]

who will retire with a greater test average riz or babar???

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Come on Babar - 3 consecutive 50s vs South Africa!

Remember 2 was on a road

 

[Rana]

2025 wIlL bE tHe YeAr Of BaBaR

 

[emranabbas]

Babar never was a good batsman. He hit a purple patch and made good use of his PR. He was never going to be successful in the long run

Ramiz Raja played a significant role in inflating Babar Azam's average, making him appear to be a better player than he actually is. During Ramiz Raja's tenure, from September 13, 2021, to December 21, 2022, Babar averaged 70 in home conditions, despite Pakistan not winning a single Test at home. However, after that period, his average dropped to 30. This suggests that the focus was more on making Babar look impressive on flat pitches rather than achieving wins for Pakistan.

2025 wIlL bE tHe YeAr Of BaBaR

Well 2025 is the year of the snake in Chinese .

 

[jamie smith]

shans test average has reached 31

 

[Kianig89]

Some deluded supporters being happy on Babar failure , what a sorry state of affairs

 

[emranabbas]

Well 2025 is the year of the snake in Chinese .

I think that's what the meant

The will be in a hiding for a while only pops out when his favourites are doing well

 

[Kianig89]

shans test average has reached 31

Excellent achievement

 

[Omer2002]

There goes another parchi

 

[emranabbas]

Some deluded supporters being happy on Babar failure , what a sorry state of affairs

I'd be happy if he performed just like I was happy for rizwan last innings

 

[Amjid Javed]

More clueless batting, now ghulam playing a dumb shot

 

[Omer2002]

Absolute selfish reviews my days cant believe this

 

[jamie smith]

glorified tailender goneeeee

 

[emranabbas]

Sajid Don and chacha nomi have been decent with ball though

 

[Omer2002]

How is that missin that was dead

 

[Amjid Javed]

Ghulam very lucky there

Hows that missed?

 

[Kianig89]

KG domestic bradman on your way

 

[jamie smith]

tailender survives

 

[DeadlyVenom]

That looked dead

 

[Amjid Javed]

Warrican making our batsmen look amateurish

 

[Theo_14]

That’s weird and odd. How was that missing stumps.

 

[Kianig89]

Lucky escape.for KG must make it count now , Pakistan 186/2 effectively

 

[Kianig89]

Plenty of time in the game left batsman should make the most of it but pitch is turning getting difficult over by over

 

[mominsaigol]

I think that's what the meant

The will be in a hiding for a while only pops out when his favourites are doing well

Well January is pretty much gone now. Just one more test to save face.

That leaves 11 months for Mamoon's prediction to come true. Or maybe he meant babar will be back to his best in PSL? And leagues?
