Shahzad should ve gone from review. It would have been overturned.
Phr catch hota ya na hota is secondary. third umpire had nothing to do with it.

If you had any foresight, you would realize that he is not good enough. It's Junaid all over again.

Every mediocre player has played 4 Tests 'only' at one point in time.

Junaid has a bit of spark, Who is not a world class talent but a decent one

Shehzad is just a poor quality batsman i just have no hope from him now

The plan is to give everybody a chance to practice for the next test and they are doing it. Now azhar should get out around the 37th over so misbah could practice too and so on.

You're joking, right? :)))
 
He we probably pile up the runs at the SSC and humble pies will be served. A ground where Hafeez has a 200.

He is a poor batsman, Average technique against spin, Suspect against Pace, I dare say Taufeeq umar and Imran farhat were better than this Guy and that is saying a lot

:facepalm:

Yes he has his weaknesses but he is way better than both of them.Has got 7 tons already and he is 22.

Even though I feel bad for Shehzad, he was looking clueless as well. Wouldn't have survived long

It doesnt matter each and every wicket counts, Coach should have a stern word with Azhar Ali after the match that was outright pathetic from him

Junaid is a better bowler than Shehzad is a batsman, but not a future great or anything close to the hype that he gets and all the avatars. :nehra
 
Akmal would have either a) blitzed it b) gotten out early and created a bigger hole for Pakistan.

Personally, I'd have him the side, he adds another dimension to Pak's batting.
 
SL just need 3 wickets, I back them to run through the rest of Pakistan's batting lineup.

Talking strictly about test matches, TAufeeq has 7 test tons and even Farhat has 4 tons

Shehzad as test batsman is a pathetic player, i would still have him in limited over formats until he is performing but in tests if he doesnt perform in next match he should be dropped

Then they call me a hater and a troll when I show them the mirror and give them true insight. :sohail
 
We deserve to lose for having this pathetic approach. You would've thought after the Sharjah test Misbah has turned over a new leaf and will show some positivity, how sad.

Ironically he plays the ODIs like tests..
 
Yeah remember that This same Guy Azhar reviewed after getting caught in the Slips and today he advises Shehzad not to review on a clear doubtful decision, Selfish player

Even if Pakistan score at the rate of 12, this match is going to draw.
 
What will happen to Pakistan batting after Younis and Misbah retire. We will be worse than Bangladesh

Yaar, he will improve.He has the hunger for runs.

Look at him when he started and look at him now.There is a huge difference.
 
Pakistan are easily one of the most boring teams in the world in Test cricket.

One dimensional batsmen and no real fire and skill in the pace attack :akhtar :asif :amir

It's not about that, it's about blocking it out thinking they can dead bat their way to a draw.

I agree they can't.They are no SA. Only they right now have the quality for that sort of a thing.
 
Jiten Surtani: "Now this is something that should not be done.
When you accept DRS, you accept the risk it brings. Showing the
batsmen his mistake again and again makes him feel worse and
he may make a useless review the next time. Not only that, you
also start blaming the non-striker who had a better view which
affects the team spirit. There is a difference between teaching to
learn from your mistakes and making a player brood over his
mistake. Teach them to move on !"
 
Neutrals need a reason to follow another team, guys like Junaid, Shehzad, Manzoor and Talha aren't exactly box office draws :moyo
 
Where would we be without Younus.

There is a huge and I mean huge gulf of class b/w him and the others Misbah included.
 
Pakistan should be declared winner, if they are able to get to the lead.
 
Azhar Ali has shown zero improvement in 4 years.

I see no change in how he plays spin and how positive he is.

This is not saying he is bad, just that he is the same as he was 4 years ago.
 
The only bat that can play spin well in Pak would be Harris Sohail.

Along with YK and Misbah of course.

Don't fall for it.

We have such class batsman which are being blocked.

Look Shehzad is quality at such a young age. Scored a 147 in his last game. Wrongly given out today.

Khurram Manzoor is terrible and shouldn't be in the team. Karachi influence.

Azhar in his last game scored a magnificent innings but I don't know what the hell is wrong with him today.

We have other guys. Umar Akmal is superb. Fawad would surely see this game out. He would have probs scored a double. Haris Sohail another quality act.
 
If we batted properly and positively, we would have been in the lead now.

Terrible tactics by team management.

He is just bad, unfortunately, that's what we got. Can't seem to find any better. Sad state of our batting
