As a passionate followers of Pakistan cricket team since very young age, I want nothing but best for Pakistan cricket team. No players for me is bigger than the team or the game. Unlike an average follower of the game like me, selectors and administrator have their own interest in dropping or keeping the non-performing players for long.
Now its obvious , Sarfraz does not deserve to be in the team, but unfortunately being the captain, he is no Mike Denmess and will not drop himself and obviously selectors will also not take that drastic step mid-tour, so he will play in 2nd test.
Now as per TV report Coach surely wants to drop Shafiq from 2nd test like but Saifi, being the loyal friend ( to hell with team ) threw all his weight and told the coach, Shafiq will play in 2nd test, what may happen.
Now if Shafiq made few runs , some 30-40 or even 50, which he has been after every 10 innings or so, he will be guaranteed for another 10 tests and will certainly block another young deserving batsman.
About Saifi, I'm not worried, with his ridiculous technique he is not going to score much.
So it will be good for Pak cricket, if they both fail but hope Pakistan team does well based on the performance of 9 others, that would be great.
