This is what happens when you expose your tailenders too much, Shafiq won't score his 100 now and neither will Pakistan get to 400.
 
yasir shah eagers to come in action as early as possible.

Need a 16 from baba as well so we can get to 400 and Asad can get a well deserved century.

Tuk, Tuk, Tuk :facepalm: Shafiq has found another one to give him breathing space, at this rate he won't get to a 100 until 9 wickets are down and he has no choice left.

You have been whining since his arrival. It must have been hard for you watching him score these easy runs :))

Trust me, I want him to score runs for Pakistan's sake but his defensive mental approach isn't helping him or his team, just prolonging the inevitable.
 
Shafiq needs to be facing 4/5 balls an over from now on! and needs to play with tail better!
 
Lmao at some of the posts earlier in the thread.7 down and you want Shafiq to farm strike

What do you expect him to do?

Become Gilchrist all of a sudden and go all haywire.

Attacking mindlessly is not his best strength we all know that and he will most likely get out doing that.

He should not try that till 8 or 9 down. Atm he needs to maximise runs out of the tail as well. I thought he did a good job with Yasir.
 
79, still 21 to go, I doubt he'll get them at this rate with baba on the other end, he's equally inept and mediocre as Wahab as a tailender.
 
Hopefully these 2 can do a repeat partnership from the first SL test
 
need 400 i guess it will be enough here in Dubai ball already spinning
 
why is shafiq giving strike away at start of the over :facepalm:
 
Rashid is good against tail yet shafiq is giving away the strike!

Well you would expect him to go berserk now that its 8 down and Baba can hardly survive one over and the one to follow hasn't scored a run since his debut.

Poor call

It was ok to do it with Yasir and Wahab but not anymore. IK Jr. is a walking wicket so can't afford to have him in

Shafiq's hundred will burn these T20 fanboys :))

Can't wait for his 9th ton.

Don't think he'll get it.

Most likely will get out himself

Still a very good innings overall
 
Shafiq has been really good in Tests

but Pakistan tail is really poor, real concern for them
 
Told you, Baba can hardly survive an over and in this case a ball, now Shafiq will be left stranded and won't get to his 100 but he'll only himself to blame.
 
23 runs still needed to get to 400 cant see if happening now!
 
Pakistan have shockingly not done their home work on Mark Wood, he is a reverse swing specialist in county cricket and specializes in the inswinging yorker and cleaning up the tail.
 
Oh dear.. I remember when zulfi first arrived he was decent enough to bat at 9 or even at 8. he has deteriorated significantly.

Yaar he scored a 50 not long ago.

Of the 3 tailenders Wahab and now Babars wickets are inexcusable at any level and regardless of ability they are embarrassing
 
what on earth zulfiqar babar ducking under that ball even the ball didn't leave from the bowler's hand
