Should Pakistan expose the tailenders to Australian bowlers in these practice games?

We're seeing the likes of Yasir Shah and Shaheen Afridi facing pace and bounce which even specialist batsmen are struggling with. Shah got hit on the bowling hand a couple of times. Should Pakistan risk these injuries or is it good experience before they face an even more dangerous attack in the tests?

Tail enders are expected to bat now days. They can use the batting practice

Silly idea - if there is injury to their hands etc then we will be in so much trouble. They can get their net practice in ... nets!

Bowlers need to bat long so they can assess the pitch and not make the mistake...

This is just plain dumb

Maybe Pakistan wants to have a go at the Australians when batting gets tougher later in the day? Probably didn't expect Rizwan and Iftikhar to be out so early.

We're also probably a bowler short today since word is that Naseem has been given the day off. Maybe they want to have less overs to bowl today

You guys don't have patience or what? , this is test cricket so chill out... Pakistan will bowl around when light comes on.

Good batting by Tailenders, showing lots of courage...

One thing for sure, Misbhah made sure that Pakistan batters are atleast putting a price on their wickets and not throwing away.

The concern was if it's worth it to have potential injuries to the frontline bowlers. But good fight by the tail!
