Do runs against SL count?

why not? against any team that is playing better cricket do count...currently they are leading this series 1-0, and in driver seat in this test match too.. both subcontinent teams battling out in the heat on pitches that is suited for them..

I just want them to have a massive partnership to save face. Want them both to get centuries, not expecting us to win this match anymore.

We could still win if one of them gets a double century, and the other + Sarfraz also score centuries.

Or both get double centuries.

Or if Azhar, Harris and Sarfraz all score big centuries.

oh man we can win if srilanka budles out for 550 in 2nd innings,,but thats a remore possiblity..
 
Disgusting to see people in the crowd demanding Sharjeel back and also Babar's promotion to number three. :facepalm:
 
Why they did not promote Harris up the order? - You have made error in selection twice, but one can change the batting order :facepalm:

Harris should have been batted at #4, max #5. Number 6 is killing him and yourself, now he has to bat in crisis, other two (Shafiq and Babar), don't have defense to bat at those positions... They both should be droped. Shafiq has been utter disappointment for 10 years, he still looks like playing his first match. Babar needs to play FC before playing test, his game plan is messed up for test, we are not doing favor to him or Pakistan ATM.
 
Harris should bat higher than 6. Number 3/4 is perfect for him. Our top order is all one paced. He will add some fluency to the top of the order.
 
The batsmen need to show more aggression - what use is a draw here? At this rate Pakistan won't go past SL until the final session of day 4.
 
Good partnership by Haris ad azhar. Need to fight out a draw now. Frustrate SL bowlers and keep them on the ground as long as possible.
 
Harris would bat with lot more freedom at #3/#4, rather at #6, he is completely waste at that position. He has solid defense, great temperament, he reads length early, good timer of the ball, all ingridents to be a very good test player...I am cursing Misbah and Waqar for not investing in him back in 2011...Shafiq/Hafeez/Shazad were complete waste of spot for all those years...

People have being begin for Fawad and Harris for almost a decade now, who were the only 50+ FC average, this also tells you that FC stats still matters, you cannot play long innings without temperament and defense, which is half the batting...They have to bring Fawad as well, there is no other choice :acp:

Really?? - They are already 4 down and 300+ still left, they need to bat as long as possible...Draw is still better than loss. You have to re analyze the situation you are in...
 
Apart from Herath it is basically a buffet bowling. Unless pitch is doing some tricks they should start taking it to their bowlers.

Usman Salahuddin also has FC average close to 50 and has sound technique.
 
Ajju gets to his half-century with a nice shot, been a good knock so far. :azhar2
 
If you were the coach you would also have played him in this Test series Waqar. Easy to critisize and ask questions from com-box.

There are atleast two spots open, actually three, Shafiq, Shan and Babar. One of them has to be filled by Fawad, because of his experience. Even at #6, I would like to develop somebody like Fahim Ashraf as allrounder, that give team better balance as well. But middle order has to solid, we need to have the best we got.

Before first test people were complaining that Harris has not played even FC match in 3 years, yet he looked more at home than anybody else (offcourse except Azhar), that also tells me Fawad will do good specially in Asia.
 
Good character shown by haris , despite bein beaten so many times outside off he has not choosen to completely inside his shell.

I don't know what people achieve from pointing out things like this. Waqar is paid for talking on the commentary so he obviously has to say things. I think all of us have already come to the conclusion that Waqar is just a talker like everyone else, don't think stretching this is a good idea.
