A long mail from Talha on cricinfo: "People just don't seem to understand..it's not about the temperament, the mentality, the practice or any other euphemism of some immaterial quality. It's the tangible - the technique and the armor of shots - which are and always have been Pakistan's problem against quality bowling. Neither our uber-calm captain nor the team management nor the tv experts have seemed to read this problem for what's been ages now. There's so much talk about patience and practice and nothing about bat-and-pad, where to put your front foot and how to apply power. That's where real work comes in and where you need a batting coach. No hardline technical stuff and you end up hailing players like Azhar Ali as your knight in shining armor, mistaking their inability to play shots for 'patience'."
has not bowled that well , had Pakistan batted out today , 
looks set for a really big one here. SA have lots of time , they are not in hurry.
