Playing in Pakistan won't make a difference, we simply don't have quality players.
 
Could an issue be too many domestic teams? Dilutes the talent.

Too many teams, poor pitches, no work ethic and lazy attitudes, nepotism, lack of professionalism etc etc just name it.

The Pakistani culture will never produce a world class team. Maybe fantastic individual cricketers from time to time, but not world class teams.

Can you tell me what is the blue-print to produce quality players in Pakistan? Corruption free board? Sending players overseas to play first class cricket?

The only problem is with our attitude and mentality. We don't have the right mindset and have wrong priorities.

Our cricket team is just a reflection of our society. We won't have a world class team as long as this country is in turmoil.
 
Our batsmen idolize hacks like Afridi.

Our bowlers think pace is everything and don't work on improving their skills like swing and seam.

Fielding is considered a burden.

Tape ball culture.

All these are major factors.
 
Misbah doesn't transfer his weight to the toes of his feet when he plays a good length/full delivery which always makes him an LBW candidate against the moving ball.

I guess we'll need IK's naya Pakistan to eradicate all these factors. LOL
 
That was out I remember same thing happened in Asia Cup when Ashwin had a thick edge and did not move and Pakistanis saturated to say that it was Big 3 Conspiracy
 
Getting caught in two minds is suicidal against spin. Either stay back or get a real good stride and kill the spin.

Sangakkara and Amla are the best example of playing spin in world cricket today. Younis and de Villiers are excellent too but they have their own slightly unorthodox methods which won't work for everyone.
 
NZ having to take 15 Pakistani wickets is surely going to take this match to the 5th day.
 
Reading some comments above it sees like this is 5th test Pakistan losing this season.
 
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going while the bottlers get owned by Joginder Sharma, Sreeshanth, Dernbach and Mark Craig.
 
Thank God we don't play more than 3 test per series. Would have ended up Losing the series to SA and NZ here TBH.
 
No , its just exposing our weakness to handle pressure.

No team is champion handling pressure Aus got white washed by our team India got it in England with much better team Eng got it in Aus. Every single team in the world have a bad match no need to kill past and future for this.
 
I hope people stop bleating about the lack of Tests now.

Our best hope is winning the first 1-2 Tests of the series before the other finds its feet and demolishes up.

We should only play 2 Tests in the UAE.
 
Sarfraz should play his natural game, better have some entertainment, before the game is over
 
I hope [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] dont have a gun around him somewhere.
 
2 Test match series win are kinda fluke, no time for touring team to adapt and adjust. See NZ's comeback in 3rd Test.

But no team will loose by an innings after beating the crap out these teams in the same season and in the same conditions.
 
All my predictions for the Australian series came true for the NZ series. :sohail
 
Mark Craig has the 3rd best figures for a NZ bowler ever in Test History - Congratulations guys, after Marcus North, Robin Peterson, Imran Tahir and Paul Harris we can surely add Mark Craig to that esteemed list. Always wanted my signature to be an anti jinx :facepalm: what disappointment indeed

Against Pakistan.

Hadlee got like 15 wickets in a match
 
On the bright side we may never see Shan and Talha playing for Pakistan so good news if you really see.
 
Interesting point by Baxid. Pak spinners were bowling into the wicket at Dubai and Abu Dhabi but on a wicket where they needed to flight it, craig performed better. Great batting by sarfraz now.
 
This is how Pakistan is since ages nothing new about it.

Yeah. Nothing has changed , thats the concern that we can't perform consistently even after winning so comfortably in these conditions.
