Pakistan vs New Zealand | 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | Nov 16-20, 2018 | Day 4 Thread

Where's the match awareness ? Playing according to the situation ?

Inexcusable. We should have walked this Test after bowling NZ out for 153.
 
Not sure how will these guys handle Philander and Rabada in South Africa.
 
Lol @ people blaming Azhar.

The only batsman standing.

Stop being losers. Blame your street fighter captain. Azhar is the only one fighting.

This is also why for two years I have been saying that Hasan Ali needs to work on his batting.

He’s got the potential to be a Test Number 8.

And he needs to stop the moronic Afridi slogging.

It’s the sixth ball of the over, you’re on 0, eleven to win, a top order batsman on strike next ball, and you’re out slogging?

Disgraceful!
 
No patience. Everyone wants to be a hero and Pakistan will be zero. Amazing. Hasan Ali and Sarfraz could have just let Azhar finish the game without trying to hit a six.
 
What clownish tactics. Was Hasan Ali playing a t20 match? There was no need to take a risk. Azahr was going well. Just had to see of the last ball ythe fool!!
 
It doesn't help either if our tail enders try to hit six when don't have the abilities to score. Azhar has to score all 12 runs if we have to win this.
 
Hasan is such an idiot that the English language lacks the words to accurately describe his level of stupidity.
 
Azhar is an honest man. The problem is he's limited. And investing so much in time in him has not produced the expected result.
 
Our batting is like a circus act. All that's missing are the red noses and a button that squirts water on their kits.
 
Even if you have to hit the ball, at least try to hit it to the place where there is no fielder on the boundary.
 
Hassan had 1 delivery to block.

Just sums up where some of these batters are mentally in pressure situations
 
Incredible how Pakistan threw it away. It was 147-4. Wow.
 
People blaming Afridi so many times but none of our current batsmen have the ability to score fast like him.

Look at it the other way. This will be historic for NZ. One of their greatest wins if they win.

Or how about the fact that any other team would have won this match from a position like 22 runs needed with 3 wickets in hands.
 
Why can't Azhar counter attack. Our tail enders are not good enough to score even 10-15 runs in 4th innings.
 
Afridi was arguably the biggest bottler ever in this situation. He would have been swinging from the get go and would have skied it as per usual

Absolutely but Hassan has arguably 1/5th of Afridi's ability so for him to go out slogging in this situation is just plain stupid

They don't have to. They just needed to block or leave 10-15 balls each and not try and smash the cover off every ball like it's the last over of a T20 innings.
 
What is batting coach teaching these guys? Bilal, Yasir, Hasan, and Abbas all have to just block and take single. Do they not trust Azhar or they think only 3 overs are left in the game?
 
Think Grant Flower needs to go. He might be telling his batsmen the right things and I feel sorry for him if he is, but his players aren't listening. I don't know how some of them had the audacity to go ahead and do that, I'm a loss for words.

but but some on here though Hasan would end it with two hits..seems as if he is as brainless as some ppers..
 
We can only hope Abbas saves Pak. This time with the bat.
 
Agsin exposing no. 11 for 3 balls. Why can't Azhar hit two 4s and 2 runs
 
Crowd dua kar raha hai. Kahin ye dua r magfirat na ho in batsmen ke liye.

A batting coach can't stop people being idiots.
 
Cant hit big shots when needed , cant guard the tail when needed. You gotta have something for this situation.
