What is Shafiq's achievement for last 3 series? Just because they played under Misbah does not meanwe have to keep these players for another 5 years.
So do you agree both Shafiq and Azhar should play in World Cup 2019 as well?

stop putting words in my mouth.

I have never said asad shafiq to be in the world cup team. Infact, he isn;t good for the odi team .

Azhar however was unfairly dropped from the odi team.

AT the end of the day, both avg more then the captain in test

The captain is a wicket-keeper and usually bats at #7...

So you're saying an average of 31 across two years is good?
 
As Shafiq scored an 88 in his last Test match, there are still some strong advocates for his selection. I would have actually dropped him for this Test match as I can't see him offering anything going forward. I don't see the point of dragging things out until the point you have to boot someone out kicking and screaming. The batting needs changes which is quite clear.

I did ask why he couldn't be dropped for the 3rd Test and was informed because he scored a 50 in his last Test match. Okay, so it probably makes sense to play him due to stability but if we say we have to play him because he scored a 50 then obviously the deception by Shafiq continues.

Seems like you're trolling

Sarfraz isn't a specialist batsman like these two.
 
asad shafiq coming into his own in 2nd innings and when the series is lost. Why can't this guy perform when it matters and the incompetent selectors will continue selecting him. He's a quality player but needs to show some grind and heart

Not enough heart. And I think he doesn’t have confidence in his game. He got spoiled under misbah and yk because he faced no serious pressure. Also is a strokemake who tries to graft. Looks much better when attacking
 
Even if he gets runs this game he should still be dropped, in pressure situations he's very bad. Inconsistency is massive in his game.
 
So if he wins us the test match (unlikely but it can happen) then what should we do?
 
He's batted very well at times on this difficult tour and crucially, with a lot of freedom and confidence. Of course, we all want him to start being more consistent but he's currently one of the top six batsmen in Pakistan and deserves his place.

Hope him and Babar get centuries tomorrow.
 
Lets see if he can score a 170 n win the game for pakistan

But if his career to date is anything to go by he ll score enough to keep him in the team but not enough for pakistan to win the game
 
He's playing well now surprise surprise as there is doubt over his spot. Getting a selfish vibe. His goal should be helping Pakistan to win this Test match, highly unlikely that we'll win but if we are to win, he'll need a big score, 150+
 
Shouldn’t be surprise if he is dismissed in the first few overs tomorrow
 
He'll try and get his century, not to help Pakistan win but to cut cake.
 
The amazing thing about Asad Shafiq is even if he makes 200, Pakistan will lose. He somehow feels zero shame or pressure making 100s in a losing cause. Such a player would never play for a country or even a county side.

Time for him to be kicked out to save Pak batting.

Spot on but I think we should move on from him and invest in umar akmal one last time
 
Another day another duck

A decent knock and a duck Sums up asad shafiqs test career to date in those 2 innings
 
Did misbah give him a cake in dressing room for another duck today?
 
Typical Shafiq. A decent but impact-less innings followed by a failure.
 
Even if he didn't get a duck, he wasn't going to do much. Let's face it, Shafiq has never been mentally strong enough for these sort of situations.

We should move on from Shafiq but Misbah will blindly keep picking him.
 
This is pretty much a summary of his career: Tim Paine was willing to take Mitchell Starc out of the attack AFTER he took two wickets because pretty much everyone in the international circuit to get shafiq out is to bowl a rising delivering tight on off stump. It’s pretty much how Chris a Woakes has his number. In the first innings shafiq was judging length better and let these go. Here in characteristic shafiq style when the heat was on and his brains were scrambled.

This is the problem.

Too many times he goes missing when the team needs him.
 
Shafiq has already scored his century for the tour, that was vs the A team.

This is all misbahs fault for celebrating 50s and 100s in losing causes.

Losers mentality.

Cakes being cut for personal milestones while team is losing is the most absurd thing ive ever heard.

This is why nothing will change with misbah at the helm.

Infact it will get worse. Still cakes will be cut and eaten.
 
If he is not good enough then why keep picking him. Surely there must be something team management sees in him.
 
He should have been more cautious and responsible. He is the senior batsman in the team now. It is disappointing to watch him fail because he is otherwise a very good, technically sound batsman.
 
Mentally weak. The hallmark of Pakistan cricket since a while now. Asad Shafiq perfectly sums up the quintessential Pakistan cricketer of the last decade.
 
As I once said about my favourite opening batsman in recent years, if you bat like a chicken then you will be regularly laying eggs (0)
 
Remarkably consistent. His average got close to 40 after the first innings, so decided to be dismissed at 0 so that his average in the game matches his overall average. Truly awful.
 
35 ball duck for Asad today in Round 6 of QeA20
 
Few things never change. Is he Pakistan’s biggest duck machine since Afridi?

Mashallah, it seems that the house that Asad built is now under new management of Abdullah Shafique

Already 12 ducks in intl cricket across formats and after 4 in a row in T20Is he now has 3 in a row in ODIs
 
Will always be remembered for that pink ball knock. What a top effort it was. Our batters can’t out bat to ball in pink ball tests and he played a blinder like that.

Openers generally get a lot of ducks facing new ball. Tendulkar also has many ducks.

It’s about making it big when yo lu get a start. This is where the good batters separate themselves from ordinary ones.
