What is the point to give Justin Greaves another over? He is garbage so bring another Spinner to bowl now.

Yeah I don't understand why they haven't brought on the offspinner Sinclair with a left hander at the crease.
 
As I say that, Sinclair comes on.

If he takes a wicket watch out for his celebration. Guy's a nutter :ROFLMAO:
 
Not sure why we need a Tea break after a staggering 28 overs bowled, majority by spinners, having already lost loads of overs at the start of the day.
 
Just tuned in - why is Alzaari & that new guy shaymar not playin? & It looks overcast conditions Why only one pacer for Pak? Saw highlights bad umpires decision for KG but what a waste by Babar Azam ...geez - a guy of his experience should known better ..
 
What was Babar hoping with that review?

Maybe there is a no ball which the umpires have missed?

More hopeful than anything otherwise. A bit selfish no doubt but 3 reviews were remaining so took a chance with one
 
Pakistan needs a test rethink.

The weather is smoggy/foggy in Punjab & KP to play test cricket in Winter. They need a few stadiums in the South for winter tests otherwise it's just not doable. I was reading about a Pak vs. Zim series that Zim won because only one test was played and the other two were fogged out.

If we can't play tests in Dec, Jan, Feb in Pak, when can we? A summer test with temps going as high as 50C is just not doable.

A bit selfish?

You either know you have nicked it or not. Why was he showing confused throughout and then taking a review on the last second?

Look you can reform test cricket all you like, day night tests, 4 day tests, 2 divisions etc are all fair game....but I've worked in heavily unionized environments and based on this experience let me tell you if you threaten to reduce a tea break there will be a major revolt.

The guy wasn’t sure. He is not perfect like some of the keyboard warriors on this forum.
 
This is ugly battimg but doing the job if spin stays we need to get a decent score
 
It's a problem older than you
It shouldn't be a problem when you have such world class batters in your team.

Hilarious how you claimed shadab is our best allrounder and he isn't even a part of the team now.

Then proclaimed how babar is our all time best batter yet the only test games Pakistan won at home featured babar getting dropped 🤣🤣.

Shame how the best pk batter of all time couldn't fix the collapse issue and is a part of said collapse.
 
he is the best bowler after bumrah in tests currently
Quality of opposition and conditions also matter. Dominating at home doesn't make you the second best bowler in the world. He has just started his career, he has a long way to go
 
Pakistan made the right decision to play one seamer and it will be proven with the progression of this test.
 
Quality batting this is from Riz... Saud is also doing a great job
Kaptana's got an almost perfect temperament for international cricket. Keeps a smile on his face in toughest of situations, can be so relaxing for dressing room.
Newcomer Huraira should spend as much time with him as possible
 
Excellent batting from both.

This partnership is going to have a serious impact on the result with how the pitch is playing.
 
Very unlucky.no doubt we are fighting but fact is we have been lucky and long may it continue as this pitch isnhard for spinners
 
And to think what ramiz clown was saying that pak cant produce spin pitches aqib came straight away produced rank turners which has always been pak strength amazing mind aqib
 
Fantastic partnership by Saud and Rizwan and a solid fifty by Saud Shakeel, the best Test batsman in Pakistan!

Took a chance simply. Had 3 reviews left
 
Not watching this, what's the crowd like , comparable to BGT attendance or an Oldman and his dog only
 
Saud Shakeel is primarily an Asian pitches batter - he may not be as consistent on Australian or New Zealand pitches.
