[PICTURES/VIDEOS] Shan Masood as Pakistan Test captain performance watch

I don't disagree. He's not a good batter. Good innings but could just end up again to be a fluke like his Manchester innings. However, he is the skipper. And players should be bound to follow the directions of the skipper which they apparently don't.

True as a Skipper he has the authority so rest of the players should follow him but from Last series we have seen how Shaheen Misbehave with him.

Grouping is big issue and without stability in the dressing room Pakistan is not winning anything.
 
Misbah called him last night to play slow and steady.. he didn’t budge .. told Misbah off .. look at the result

He's in the exact same Misbah group lol.

Misbah at one point had him as his ace opener during his coaching stint
 
Fair play — credit where credit is due.
He was very much under the spotlight and everyone (including me) would be calling for his head if he failed.
So, given that it was a fine knock….well done Sir
 
shariqnoor said:
Yes. I have a feeling that Shan would need to score like 1000 runs in 10 Test matches with some Test wins to get players to take him seriously. But that's surely not happening.

Yeah he needs to score 150 against Bangladesh for all of Pakistan to take him seriously and bill him as the next Dhoni.

Mate why do you even bother? 90% of Pakistani fans I meet always look at one innings and make their judgement for the next 40 years.

If they enjoy a batter who bats his shots on the ground for singles and is clueless againat pace and decent offspin then what more can you do?

Shan has the right intent in that atleast he tries and even againat Bangladesh did try to perform his typical Shan Ball bit it failed.

He's lucky he's gotten 130kph pacers now and garbage spinners to work with.

Bring him in odi and you'll see the same story being played out on him walking back to the pavilion

Tbh there are some ‘wakhri chawwals’ that need to be addressed and not left alone so that people can be misguided.

Apparently Saud and Babar according to this guy were playing slow because they don’t take Shan seriously. That’s got to be the dumbest thing I have heard all day today, and boy there have been some dumb comments in the match thread.

Shan on current form is superior to Babar who's lost interest in test cricket. Infact Shan also performed better them bobby ahainat England but was crap over their.

For saud it's because the ball got old, when the new ball came on Saud also started attacking and playing free flow on the exact same manner.

However the gulf between Babar and saud is still massively higher then Shan. Babar at peak is superior but currently isn't whereas saud is a classy batter whereas Shan is your typical pad to the ground, Take a single, And if the bowling is rubbish then play that pull or advance down the ground. Very limited batter compared to saud who's very innovative and free flow

I think ‘mark Nicholas’ forgot to realise that Babar was batting with the Vice captain of the Pakistan team when he came in as Pakistan had lost two wickets in quick time, both set batters out. 260-3 turning into 270-4 would have been massive had either Babar or Saud got out late in the 3rd session….England would have most likely had their tails up with the new ball arriving soon.

Pakistan batting slow wasn’t a great ploy, but it was initially required with 2 wickets falling and ensuring that the ship isn’t completely rocked. It went on a bit too long, that’s the actual issue. Obviously Saud was in charge here, now he has to make sure Pakistan take more time out of the game and score more than enough first innings.
 
When is the last time a Pakistan captain has hit a 150 in a test match? Probably Babar against the Aussies at home. So Shan did well today especially the pressure that he was under.

But please make a decent score in the second innings as Pakistan batsmen tend to drop off in a second innings if they made a ton in the first innings.

Good innings by an awful player, but happy for him because it is very important for Pakistan to win this series and they will.

You understand if this happens then it means the continuation of Shan as captain? Which is everything you stand against?

If beating England buys Shan more time then so be it, but it is extremely important for Pakistan to beat a strong team in Test cricket after the situation that it finds itself in.

This will be a big boost for Pakistan and and as an added bonus, it will shut up Indian posters for a few weeks.

I can support mediocrity and that is what Shan represents. There was nothing fluke about this innings because it was fairly chanceless.

When did you hear the words fluke from my mouth?

It's a phata wicket with a rubbish bowlers? This type of innings anyone shpuld be able to play and both saim, Abdullah and Babar should be ashamed of themselves.

Lara would be smacking 500 scores if he was around and played here with the same rubbish.

You are angry at me for no reason. If the reason is me having Shan Masood pfp then I would want you to remain angry. If it's anything else then I would like to settle the dispute.

After such a long and largely unfruitful career, this was owed to PK by Shan. Well done and let's see more consistency. He played amazingly well at Old Trafford in 2020 and didn't go on.
 
Shan Masood became the 17th Pakistan captain to score a Test ton. Masood has joined the illustrious list where Pakistan stalwarts are named. Former Pakistan skipper, Misbah-Ul-Haq tops the list with eight three-figure marks, and he is followed by Inzamam-ul-Haq with seven centuries as a captain.

Pakistani captains: 150+ innings while captaining the side.
10 in Pak, 2 in Eng and 1 in India.

Miandad has done it 3 times. Babar Azam and Hanif Mohammad done it twice.

Shan has scored a century which will only save him from getting dropped from the team for another 3-4 years. It was a good knock but he has to keep playing such knocks more often otherwise his 1 such knock out of 10-20 innings means nothing.

This Shan masood thing will fall flat very soon.

He's an atrocious player
 
BouncerGuy said:
Yep. As I said, it was once in a blue-moon-type inning. I'm not expecting much from Shan next in this series.
Click to expand...
It wasn't once in a blue moon, it's just bowling is rubbish, pitch is easy and Abdullah, saim and Babar are bananas as usual which is nothing new, has been the case since sri lanka
 
Shan Masood speaking during a Post-Day 1 interview:

Start on Day 1:

“As a side, we speak about the requirement of the situation when you win the toss and bat first. We did well against Bangladesh in the first test when we lost three wickets, but Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel had a mammoth partnership. So, when Abdullah Shafique and I got together and the partnership reached 50 and then 100, we kept talking about how, if we could have that mammoth partnership, we could set this game up really well. We started thinking about how we could dictate the game with the bat. When you win the toss and elect to bat first, you can’t ask for more from the team.”

Abdullah Shafique’s inning:

“As a leader, there’s a responsibility to score runs, but we always emphasize the process and our way of playing. For me, the biggest satisfaction comes from Abdullah Shafique. We talked about a squad mentality and giving people consistent chances. Despite the pressure of not scoring runs in the last few test matches and losing his opening partner and still delivered a hundred. He’s only in his early 20s, which speaks volumes.”

“As a leader, it’s never been about me or my runs; it’s about how we can move forward as a team. The way we played, putting scoreboard pressure on them, running hard, and scoring at a run rate of 4.5-5 was crucial. If we had just tried to defend our way through the day, we wouldn’t have had 324 on the board.”

Declaration:

“We still have Mohammad Rizwan, Salman Ali Agha, and Aamer Jamal to come in, so we need to take it session by session. I think the way Saud Shakeel and Babar Azam played after getting set initially, after assessing the conditions, they were scoring quite freely once they got set in. The message to the batters would be to assess the conditions, be your best judge, and make sure that we’re scoring off any scoring opportunities we get.”
 
Got whitewashed by Australia, got whitewashed by Bangladesh and current gane against England is either heading towards a draw or a victory for England.

So when will Shan break his legendary record of 0% Win percentage across his international Captaincy Career?
 
Looks like Shan is taking advice from the former captain Babar. Have to say that it has not worked yet for Shan.

He did this with sarfi against Bangladesh. Now this test he does this with rizzu and Babar.

Dude doesn't know how to captain. Experience my foot. I saw his captaincy in KK and the only thing he knows how to do is get mad at certain players or umpires.

Worst player to ever represent Pakistan as a skipper, both as a player, attitude wise and as a skipper in terms of onfield decisons.

That bravdo that he showed in Australia felt flat as a pancake soon after.

It's a toothless bowling line up, in current form there's not a single bowler that'll scare International batsmen. To make matters worse they're bowling at a batting great on the world's flattest wicket. There's nothing any captain can do under such circumstances. This is perhaps the worst bowling squad in the history of Pakistan test cricket.

They are pathetic players. Got all out on 550 on a wicket that truly feels like 1,000 runs wicket. They will always remain short. And what can I say about his captaincy.
 
Nobody is talking about this guy. He is the worst of the lot.

Averaged only 29.28 in 18 Test innings against England and averages only 29.68 after 69 Test innings.
 
On these flat highways, he should have chosen to bat second.

I think people have given up on complaining about this guy. His record is so poor and yet he keeps getting away with it. Despite his dreadful record they not only kept him in the side they promoted him to captain.
 
Who will have more miserable life than Shan Masood, tujh se nhi ho pae ga.

Another failure in batting today. Surely he got all the elpehants out from dressing room yet he has failed to stamp his authority because performance in sports does the 90% of work.

Surely Gillespie will be scratching his head , Shan poultry Farm is much profitable than cricket
 
Played a fluke innings of 150 in the first innings of the first match, which will cement his place in the team for the next few series.

The real question is how Pakistan can appoint someone with an average of 28 as the captain? What sort of message does that send? A player who doesn't even merit a place in the team is the captain.

He has played and been around for a while now, so his potential is well-known. He's not the type of player who is going to evolve into someone like Joe Root. With him, what you see is what you get. At best, he’s a player with an average around 35, capable of holding his spot in a struggling team. As both a captain and a player, I believe his potential is limited, and given his age, he’s not a long-term prospect.
 
Nasser Hussain speaking during comentary:

"I want to see Shan Masood assert himself more as captain. I see Rizwan waving his hands in the field more than Shan"
 
Captain Shan Masood has advanced 12 places to 51st in the latest ICC Test batters ranking.

How is this possible??
 
Not sure why he took that review and who told him to take that review.

QK6DjKV.jpeg
 
This guy is so pathetic that I am speechless. How can he be in the team as a batter and be the captain of the team as well after such a mediocre performances.
 
Somebody tell Shan there is more to live than cricket, PCB finance dept should offer him a platinum handshake

Next game should be his last. Time for Rizwan to lead us in Test.

Rizwan should first earn his place in the team. Yeah Shan is not at all consistent and he must be dropped as well if he doesn't score in next test match
 
Will leave his legacy forever for record books, wisden and KBC

The only Test captain to lose 7 consecutive games

The only Test captain to remain winless

The only captain in Test history to lose after 556 in 1st inn.

The only Test captain with complete control over Angreeji

The only Test captain who believed in process, yet failed to win anything
