Seven batsmen scoring hundreds at the State Bank ground.... what a pitch 
Batting for battinfs sake. No need for Punjab tobrack up 309/1 in reply with a 200 run lead. No attempt to win the game. Butt saab just padding up his stats

To be heard i heard Basit Ali say it, but these are just words for now.
Salman Butt is just selfish, clearly out there just for the runs and not pushing for a win and besides Salman Butt is an opener. The only lower middle order batsman that has done well is Fawad.

With 120 points in the bag before the tenth round of the Quaid-e-Azam trophy, Central Punjab followed a perfect script to settle for a draw in their last round fixture, of the premier four-day first class tournament, against Southern Punjab.
On the fourth and final day at the State Bank Stadium on Thursday, Central Punjab's openers Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal topped up the overnight one-run lead with a 124-run stand. Kamran Akmal perished on a 72-ball 47 while Salman Butt marched on to his 25th first-class ton.

Northern confirmed their place in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy final with a thrilling 39-run win over Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on the fourth and final day of the 10th round game at the UBL Sports Complex in Karachi on Thursday.
Captain Nauman Ali led from the front taking four wickets for 72 runs in 28 overs while Sadaf Hussain chipped in with two wickets as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa fell away in their 245-run chase on an absorbing day of cricket.
Resuming their second innings at 39 for two, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were dealt a major blow as Ashfaq Ahmed (10) fell lbw to Mohammad Waqas on the second ball of the day. Israrullah scored a 64-ball 50 (seven fours) to keep his side in the hunt. On the other end Mehran Ibrahim (10) was dismissed by Nauman.
Israrullah’s crucial wicket was taken by Sohail Tanvir which left Khyber Pakhtunkhwa stuttering at 98 for five, they took lunch at 121 for five with Adil Amin batting on 19 and Sajid Khan batting on nine.
Northern consolidated their position with three quick strikes after lunch as Sajid fell without adding to his lunch score while Adil (31) and Rehan Afridi (0) left soon after. Zohaib Khan (51 not out off 122 balls, four fours and one six) added 39 runs for the ninth wicket with Usman Shinwari (17 off 73 balls, three fours).
Usman was sent packing by Sadaf in the final session of the match, while Northern wrapped up their win when Faizan Riaz accounted for Junaid Khan (0) who did not contribute a single-run in the 28-run last wicket stand with Zohaib, to spark celebrations in the elated Northern camp.
Northern collected full 24 points on offer in the game (16 points for their win, five batting and three bowling points). They finished with 130 points to occupy the second spot on the six-team table behind Central Punjab who finished with 133 points after collecting 13 points in their last group match against Southern Punjab that ended in a draw.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa finished at the third spot with 124 points, while Southern Punjab collected 112 points to finish at the fourth spot. Sindh and Balochistan grabbed 90 and 84 points to end the tournament on fifth and sixth position, respectively.
Central Punjab and Northern will now contest the tournament final at the National Stadium Karachi from 27 to 31 December.
Scores in brief:
Northern 411 for 8 declared, 106.4 overs (Sarmad Bhatti 109, Hammad Azam 76, Faizan Riaz 63, Zeeshan Malik 61; Sajid Khan 4-121, Usman Khan Shinwari 2-71) and 139 for 6 declared, 25.2 overs (Zeeshan Malik 52, Faizan Riaz 22; Sajid Khan 2-15)
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 306 all out, 100.2 overs (Rehan Afridi 95 not out, Fakhar Zaman 66, Mehran Ibrahim 54; Waqas Ahmed 6-109, Nauman Ali 2-56) and 39 for 2, 9 overs (Sarmad Bhatti 1-13, Nauman Ali 1-15) and 205 all out, 76.4 overs (Zohaib Khan 51 not out, Israrullah 50; Nauman Ali 4-72, Sadaf Hussain 2-42)

Just the fact that he is working at the domestic level and gaining experience as a coach makes him better than Misbah, who never coached before. The results and performance of Wasim you mentioned make him an overachiever for sure
If it were up to me I'd drop Azhar Ali, Chachu Ifti and Shan Masood and replace with following (i'd drop Asad as well if it were up to me with say Zeeshan Malik, but don't crazy with changes):
Imran Butt for Shan Masood
Saud Shakeel for Azhar Ali at no. 4
Fawad Alam for Chacha Ifti at no. 5

Balochistan’s captain, Imran Farhat was also undefeated on 40 from 26 balls when the match ended.
Fawad's 34th century of his first-class career was the highlight of a day where Sindh responded with 515 in 170.1 overs in reply to Balochistan’s first innings total of 471 for nine.

All-rounder, Anwar who has been in good form since returning from an injury to first class cricket this season stroked nine fours in his 117 balls innings.

M Wasim as coach is so clutch we need him as Pakistan's national head coach. Seen it in the T20 and see it now how he was really attacking in this match and got the max points. If you see the squads prior to the tournament Northern had the weakest team on paper, but some how manages to go to the final.

Excellent stuff from Mohammad Wasim as a coach, first winning the T20 tournament and now reaching the final of QAE trophy after not starting that well in it.
And not to forget he and his team achieved that while trying youngsters in Haider Ali, Zeeshan Malik, Musa, Haris Rauf etc and on top of that no player with a contract from Northern can say he didnt get the opportunity as almost everyone from main squad to performers of 2nd xi got enough chances.
I hope with the new setup good coaches from domestic setups graduate to the national team as PCB has been really poor in awarding good coaches of domestic cricket previously. We have seen how BCCI involved Sanjay Bangar and Bharat Arun in national setup based upon their contribution in domestic setup and it turned out to be really good for the national team.
Aus, India, NZ have been top teams across the formats in recent times and they have valued coaches who achieved something in their domestic setups. Eng with the appointment of Silverwood is also trying the same, cricket world is moving towards development of local coaches as well along with the players.

M. Wasim has done a superb job.proves we have good enough local coaches as well. Impressive strategy, great usage of part timers, was always aggressive someone needed in the Pakistan team management.
2 players stand out from Northerns, Faizan Riaz and Zeeshan Malik
Fawad Alam and Ashfaq Ahmed have also been superb but the way these 2 managed to keep a 75+ strike rate as well as average more than 50 [only Aamer Yamin has similar stats averaging 61 with 81 strike rate] is just incredible.
