What do you expect when the best pace man is sitting at home somewhere in Karachi?

Plz Sami really couldnt have helped us that much you know

a series loss at home to the chokers.. whatever next
saffer said:Yeah....after all the talk about how we would get thrashed . It's fine . It's not that pakistan are useless...just we are a better side ....accept it and focus on the one day series .
Going in with 2 pacers was a joke of a strategy from the very start. Someone needs to tell Malik & Lawson that we are not India playing in the 70's. To a certain degree the selection commitee is also to blame for picking Rao, which could be a reason why Pak are playing only 2 pacers b/c they know Rao is no where near test bowler unless the pitch has grass on it. Sami or some other faster bowler could have come in handy. Not having Afridi has hurt Pakistan b/c they have been forced to play 2 pin since Malik & hafeez are no where near test standard as bolwersNeVerMind said:Forget it. We have only two seamers and they are dead tired as they were hoping for a longer rest. Only by a miracle we will be able to save this test which still means that the SA win the series. Bummer! 20:20 hangover continues and Lawson/Malik have to work thier socks off to make this into a formidable test playing unit. What I cannot see is where is the mental toughness going to come from?
But when the bowlers let a team score from 259-7 to 357 & let a tail ender score 46 runs than you know that your bowlers have also let you down. Had Pakistan bowled SA for 270 than the lad would not have been as big as it is now.NeVerMind said:And guys let me re-iterate: It's our batting that is going to cost us a series loss not our bowling - when your team cannot score 300 in 3 innings so far you you should seriously think about playing test cricket!
SA is no way a better team
Faisal or no Faisal (he didn't even play the 2nd test & we are still lossing!) SA have outplayed PakistanTaZ said:2 pacer, 2 spinner strategy was never going to work. You were always going to win the first test with the likes of faisal iqbal playing
SA is no way a better team

he is just going thru the 1st phase: denialsaffer said:beat you away ..beat you at home..always have beaten you in all forms...better batting averages and rankings...better bowling averages and rankings...
in no way ????
259-7 to 357...yea our bowlers really set the field on fireKA$H said:spot-on - frankly the bowlers have done the best they can under the circumstances -
lack of discipline/temperament/concentration/skill levels of our batsmen is what is at fault here
still a long time to go in this test match...i want to see some figth & passion from the boys

never defending that either & nor can it be defended even if i wanted to! What i am trying to say is that we played poor cricket all togeather. Both the batting & the bowling failed. Its not like we bowled like champions or batted like champions, we failed in both!KA$H said:how are you possbly defending being 90/0 to 123/4 to 206 all out??
ah never knew a day would come when a SA would advice us on what to do with our cricket team...saffer said:Pakistan needs a whole new work over....pick a few young guys with obvious talent and let them have a long run in the side. This is what S.A have done and now we starting to see the rewards .
Watch a guy like Hashim Amla...he failed terribly for his first few tests but the selectors see he has obvious talent and will stick with him...in years to come he'll be putting up huge scores for their patience. You cant keep bringing in players and dropping them if they fail .
Asif , gul and danish make the back of a decent attack....fine another seamer and you will ne alright..
Picking Rao for test matches in Pakistan is a decision i will never understand, is Rao the best we have for test cricket? If yes than God help us!NeVerMind said:Granted we were a fast bowler too short but we should have still come close to 350 if not exceeded it. The bowling problem is not impossible to fix (Sami possibly Akhtar could come back or we could groom somebody like Sohail Tanvir), it's our batting as always that is the issue. When Lawson was made the coach I was happy with him but did not know how he was going to inmprove our batting. And this still seems to be the case. What I cannot see is where the mental toughness in our bating line-up is going to come from once Inzy retires from this test. Once MoYo or YK fails, that's it. Can we sriously rely on the likes of Fasial or Misbah?
it was a difficult chance, the one in which luck needs to on your side like how Boucher got Kami in 2nd inning in the 1st test, defference being that boucher got lucky & kami got unlucky but if Pakistan are to spring a suprise they need such lucky chances to go their wayIslamabadi said:kami misses another chance

Islamabadi said:kami is unlucky everytime he misses a chance
when he drops a catch that he should have taken then he should be blamed but when a chance like the one vs Smith now goes down than you can't really blame him. Need to be fair hereIslamabadi said:kami is unlucky everytime he misses a chance
Pakistan are marching quite well, unstoppable at the momentMIB said:Pakistan marching to 7th positon in ICC test ranking.....only one test nation below(WI)..

Need to somehow instigate a collapse.
Keep the lead to around 350......time for some true Pakistani magic.
