Who is to blame for Pakistan's struggles in New Zealand?

[MenInG]

A collective failure is what it looks like but is that really the case?

Was it the bowlers who let us down allowing New Zealand to put on runs, or were the fielders responsible, or the perennial villains - the batsmen to blame?

Or is it the evil Empire - The PCB Management which made dubious decisions on this tour? Or were the selectors unable to choose the right players for the job?

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Pakistan’s batting total per inning in NZ, on average: 248 runs

Average conceded runs per 10 wickets: 604.7

So both are to blame, but one stands out as far worse than the other.

The bowling was just next level ordinary, had the bowlers done their jobs batsmen would've felt at ease.

Well Pakistan always suffers in NZ in recent years, even 2016 series they lost much badly than this series. Better to look at positives than the negatives. Batting is much better than previous visits. Its the bowling was very average. and fielding costs us too.

I know it's not good but the Indian batsmen themselves suffered and in fact Agarwal was their best performing batsman who scored 1 fifty at an average of 25.

The poor ineffective inexperienced bowling of Naseem was the downfall. However, i don't want to be overly harsh on Naseem because he's only 17 and needs more domestic experience before he can considered further.

One thing i will tell all the players is please go play English County cricket and give that preference over QeA.

Appointing two past failure captains as coach replacing an international coach...done by the management.

Misbah selected the squad, changed the captains, coached them , advised them to play slow, injected his defensive mindset deep into the minds of the players, washed away all the good work done by Mickey..

 

[Shazzam]

The blame should go on Misbah, Waqar, the bowlers and batsmen.

 

[Buffet]

60 runs per wicket. You don't need to look for anything else.

 

[Mamoon]

The lack of talent, skill and intelligence in Pakistan.

 

[iniqbal223]

This was bound to happen... If PCB thought by appointing Misbah (no coaching experience) + Waqar (all time coaching failures) + their poor man management skills ; then PCB is the most incompetent organization.

Apart from team's dismal performance; main opportunity PCB missed is to KNOW whether the dual role actually works or NOT. We don't even know whether it was brainless Misbah or the dual role itself which failed.. Pathetic decision making by PCB

Everyone. You lose as a team and win as a team.

PP wants it to be Misbah. But we aren't good enough to beat NZ in NZ. With or without Babar or Misbah not as coach.

Yeah but let’s throw Naseem under the bus?

I said he performed poorly and isn't ready. You need to go look elsewhere if you think I threw him under the bus. It is international cricket, if you run your mouth and don't perform you will get criticized. I may have made a little joke at him, but I didn't throw him under the bus.

I said we lose and win as a team on another thread so don't call me a liar or act like you know what is in my brain.
