He comes from privilege, which means he has options other than cricket. Unlike some of the other cricketers.Agree, especially it makes a difference in the statements one makes.
Shan seems to have his feet firmly on the ground and wont be wavered by brief moments of success, good on him.

That was in pakistan and UAE. Not in SENA.
We deserve this humiliation.
We needed to survive 2 sessions and the attack would have tired for us to take advantage after tea.
Disappointed with Babar today.
Hopefully we can keep the saffers out there for as long as possible. Shan looks like he could bat all day MashaAllah
They do. But they have to make ends meet while they word hardWhich technically should make other cricketers work more hard than Shan.
Karachi wala has woken from their slumberSarfarz is in a very good position to hit a nice 20![]()
SA should remember that they are batting last and they don’t want to expose their brittle middle order to Abbas who will love this pitch.
SA should go for the kill now.
If Sarfraz can stay with Shan for a bit.. 200 + should be possible...
Agree with commies, more than seam and swing its the bounce and pace which is causing problem for Pakistani batsmen.
Shan is our best batsman in this series.
Who are other good batsmen against bounce and pace in Pakistan? Babar is good and Haris is injured.
Diamond ground Islamabad is the paciest and bounciest wicket in Pakistan so hopefully they include Abid in next match.
The ball to Babar bounced less. You dont expect that to happen on 1st day 21st over. He did the right thing to leave that ball imo.
If I take a nap for an hour, can I reasonably expect saffers to be five down by the time I get up?
Will SAF bat before tea or after tea?
Wow world cup ads already on TV. Nice!
Babar soon will become a once in blue moon performer
There is nothing in thecwicket, SA decision and four seamer attack was solely based on our inability to play short ball and it worked.
We could repeat 47 all out in wanderers next..
We just need to add 100 more runs and we should boss this game. Hope Sarfi sticks there with Shan. If needed I want him to take blows on the body. there is no way Saffers will bowl at stumps. Philander might but his pace is no threat to us. Sarfi, please!!!
Ridiculous by Pakistan... Look like club level batters... Azhar has been sorted for the series by Oliver... Asad looked good but got a beauty... I wonder doesn't Pakistan have better batters in domestic... Shan looks good yet he wasn't in UAE... This is nonsense.. I guess sami Aslam was better say much much better in England in 2016 than Fakhar and imam..what happened to him?? Looking the way they handle I guess only Shan, asad and Babar deserve place among batters in current lineup.. Rest 3spots are vacant for me
Pakistani players and the 92 World Cup nostalgia.
Sami Aslam deserves to be dropped. However, he will be back if Fakhar continues to give the opposition flying starts. There is life left in Shehzad as well.

Mamoon... What wrong had sami Aslam done? Played brilliantly in England only to get dropped on placid UAE pitches?? Heard on some chicken issues? This is not the way you inspire confidence in youngsters

Fluke partnership is going on @ Mamoon Shan looks to be pick of the batsman which should make Azhar and Shafiq die of the shame they say in Pashtu “ da dwi pa sharam sa “.
Sami has his issue, no doubt but in last 10 years Pakistan’s biggest accomplishment was 2-2 in England, Sami was the reason that happened. He showed everybody how to bat in England. That allowed us to get back into the series. He would have been much better here as well in seeing off new ball.
He is not ideal opener but we have very low standards. This series tells you one more thing why Azhar can only open, he can block new ball but playing short pitch is way above his level. He has been horrible with short pitch.m and this is not the first time, last time he was doing exactly that...
Pakistani think tank also works like PP, lot of emotions and hope rather than substance and data....
