taufeeq is doing the right thing because our batsmen do not have the technique to survive by doing tuk tuk in swinging conditions.....runs are the key...ball will continue to swing ...you are never in on this pitch...
 
Here's something for the ICC to think about. The batsmen are often fined for lingering around when given out for showing dissent. What about the looks of disgust from bowlers, keeper and fielding captain?
 
50/3...Sri Lankan bowlers are all over Pakistan.

Azhar Ali and YK both with a big fat 0 next to their names.
 
this is how i am seeing younis for years.....maximises his score on a flat track ..but does not do anything when ball does a bit.....and no one else also does from pakistan in seaming conditions
 
Both Younis and Azhar were playing from the crease and paid the price

You need to see his record in Eng Aus and last tour to SA.
 
Taufeeq after a poor start is still there which is the main thing! He's coming forward and definding. YK & Azhar paid the price.
 
You think that's the issue? Not the inability to play on lively tracks?

It all fits in. Its the mind! Azhar Ali after facing two beauties was presented a swinging full pitched ball. If he had a bit more brains he'd leave that delivery and once set he could play the ball. His lack of brains resulted in him gifting his wicket.
 
-1 to Whatmore for not prepping our top order for swing. Simple footwork / use of crease was missing in all three dismissals.
 
Taufeeq after a poor start has looked a lot better. That's how it goes in test cricket. Good stuff. 29*
 
Great batting Taufeeq.

People were saying this was the worst innings they had ever seen. Please come back and comment now.
 
Taufeeq is coming well forward! I guess thats the way to play on this pitch

True. Whatmore has a controller which makes him prepare batsman when there batting.

Taufeeq :out
 
So our batsman finally find a tough pitch after so long. Lets see BoomBoom786 post his statistics now.
 
Great when Taufeeq looks bad he stays in. When he starts to looks good he gets out :(

Terrible stuff by pakistan. 4 wickets lost in 16 overs.
 
Asad Shafiq in now. PP speaks very highly of this lad. I don't think he'll do well but I still hope he does. Good luck!
 
SL might have to much sooner than they thought
 
lol he was getting the team to perform who cares about anything else

That was Waqar `s work , after some time , his pappiyaN and jhappiyaN would`nt be enough .


Apna hero Asad Shafiq agaya :shafiq
