so the sifarishees Farhat and Iqbal are in. Hmmm.

I don't know if Bhanja is a sifarishee anymore. He sat out the first two games. His uncle isn't involved in PCB any more is he?

OTOH the repeated selection of Farhat boggles the mind. Even PP has accepted his permanence!
 
Sad to see no all-rounder in the team. We have had some outstanding all-rounders over the years, Mushtaq Muhammad, Asif Iqbal, W. Raja, Imran Khan, Akram, Mahmood, Razzaq, Afridi, etc. but isn't there even one in the country good enough anymore?
 
I hope they don't do their defensive crap again.

Just kidding, just want to see another 50+ partnership
 
From cric info:
Ahsan Ikram: "Faisal Iqbal, 23 Tests, 26.5 Avg., I wonder if its any better than continuing with Malik, and if Malik has to stay out I don't see how were Butt and Farhat any better than him. "

Sami: "Pakistan should have gone with Fawad Alam instead of Faisal Iqbal, Faisal has played 23 tests with an average of 26, even his first class average is below 40. Fawad on the other hand is the future of Pakistan cricket and he must be given more chances in the middle order, not at number 3 position, where Yusuf, Malik and Misbah don't want to bat themselves. Napier has a batting track and I believe Fawad could have scored big on this track."

Ok, now as we know Fawad is not playing. So, why can't we just support the ones who are playing and move on?
 
Fawad Alam must be a 12th Man specialist. It seems to be his preferred position in the lineup!
 
Pitch looks like a batting beauty! No movement with the new ball!

i approve this message!
 
Pakistani openers just did better than Kiwis. One over bowled, no wickets down.
 
If we bat for 1.5 days, NZ will hand us the match due to exhaustion! It's looking hot out there!
 
OK. i am going to count how many balls Imran Farhat edges vs how many he middles. so far it's 1-1

Not in my house he hasnt!
 
I hope all the best for Butt.

He's our best option all around.

ANd I guess Imran Farhat too because I can't see him being dropped anytime now.
 
that ball was too quick.. right on target . salman butt out
no complains..
 
Great batting by BUTT. Just 1 more run would give him 10 :( good luck next time sine we dont accept not less or more lol
