Posted the above earlier today (which is an excerpt from the full post) on Haris Sohail.
The guy does not have technique to fashion a career without playing his drives in the air.

Haris was driving aerially (and no I do not mean above covers as some batsmen do in Limited Overs) but in an uncontrolled manner, uppishly during the ENG 2018 tour. He just found the gaps. His streaky edges through gully and slips too went unnoticed it seems on PP, given his talent threads.
His sorry showing in AUS exposed him but he managed to not go to SAF, ENG and allowed the myth of his talent to remain afresh.
Hell, scratching all that if he had played the A game last week maybe that thread could have been closed.
Imagine if Fawad scores big and rescues Pak, regardless if it's a win or a draw? Karachi media will be in a frenzy.
It’s okay Saud is basically a better, younger version.
Don’t want to rub it in but after watching Gill, watching Fawad Alam bat like watching a total different sport. Good luck to him though for Pakistan’s sake.
Bus ker dho bhai ��
NZD are not Pakistan. They will access and use footage to see how to get batsmen out. They will place fielders to snap up uppish drives, push batsmen back to induce the edges etc.
IND have just demonstrated what cricketing acumen, planning and discipline can achieve.
To all the people on this thread. I urge you to go and watch the dismissals of the IND batsmen and compare them to those of the AUS batsmen. Just the dismissals. Even if you watched the game, pretend you do not know what happened on the ball before each dismissal.
Many of the dismissals of IND batsmen across this and the previous Test might make it to Youtube Highlight Reels on a standalone basis.
Compare that to the dismissals of Smith etc. On a standalone basis, no one will heed the leg side glance being snapped up by leg gully or a one-off edge to slips off Ashwin. They may seem like “unlucky” one off dismissals. The leg side flick being constantly stopped by a fielder might appear to be unlucky on the batsman’s part.
This may give the impression that AUS may have bowled more deliveries worthy of Highlight Reel inclusion (unplayable or whatever). However, it was IND who planned well and bowled where they needed to bowl for each of AUS key batsmen.
PAK with its impotent management (and despite this being his first permanent assignment, I will include my username-sake in this) and incompetent data team, cricketers with zero cricketing acumen simply loses out before setting foot in the arena: we are not even professional enough for the current sport.

Fawads stance looks like he's just chilling at the pan ki dukaan and suddenly realizes that he is in the middle of a Test match.
Bro best description ever.Idk why everyone was rooting for fawadFawads stance looks like he's just chilling at the pan ki dukaan and suddenly realizes that he is in the middle of a Test match.
I rather Pakistan lose than the evil Karachiwalas be happy.Imagine if Fawad scores big and rescues Pak, regardless if it's a win or a draw? Karachi media will be in a frenzy.
Fawad should have only one job, to bore the opposition into giving up.

Very Mamoonisque logic unless you are being sarcastic.
Pakistan again loosing wickets at the same time blocking , this kind of batting makes no sense at all.
That’s a classic Misbah on the crease for you.
He would make the opposition get on the knees and cry tears in begging mercy to be taken out of misery. They would even offer to award victory to Misbah but Misbah won’t accept it. This is how much he loved his batting style.
Sarcasm, right? Lol.Wow. It looks like Pakistan are going for the chase here. This match is interestingly poised imo.
Sarcasm, right? Lol.
Fawad ugliest batsman scoring runs is not good
These 2 need to keep going get the score to 150 which should allow Faheem and Rizwan to make quick 50s getting the score to 300 and setting it up for Yasir and Shaheen to smash quick 20s and 30s to win the game with 5 overs to spare.

Pakistan have chased 300+ under 60 overs on Day 5 against Sri Lanka in 2013. But it was in UAE, we have Younis and Misbah and also started our 4th innings on Day 5. We are 3 down here.

Pakistan should grind it out on day 5 without losing too many wickets and force a draw. Any attempt at victory will only make them lose at this stage.
Wow. We took this into day 5
That's the spirit...
