38 of Zaman's 49 runs are from boundaries. Not good signs..
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] the spinners are causing trouble. I guess it wasnt that bad an idea to play both nawaz and Asghar even Yorkshire are playing 2 spinners. Also commies said Nawaz got the most turn so far. Lets see what these 2 do in the 4th innings.
It a a big mistake to leave Saud out of the team.
The only person PP'ers did not want in side was Jahid Ali and he happens to be the highest scorer in this innings so far..
In hindsight, we could have benched Nawaz and played Saud..

God none of our batsmen know how to rotate the strike
Babar is relying too much on boundaries, which is not a good sign.

Doesn't matter much - he is scoring at 75+ SR. May be Yorkshire has put attacking field as this is the last pair with catching fielders around & bowlers are attacking him. He is doing exactly the right thing by going after as the tail is looming - might get out, but better players differentiates themselves in those situation. These are the time when you shouldn't play like Azhar Ali. No comparison, but there is a reason why with only 50 average Viv Richards is considered greatest.
Problem would have been had PAK A score been 205/2 & Babar batting at 45% SR with 75% boundary contribution - again ala Azhar Ali.
Babar out dammit. And right before tea. Probably got too greedy.
When you see that you're running out of partners and tail is looming, then shouldn't you try to take single on 4th/5th/6th and not to expose your partner?
I'm not saying that he shouldn't hit boundaries, all I'm saying is that rotate strike, take single on 4th/5th/6th ball and not expose your partners.
In his LOI career he has shown he can rotate the strike.
He wasnt batting with tail though. Siddiq is a heavy domestic run scorer and Nawaz is supposed to be an all rounder
Azam is a cut above the rest TBH..
This level is too easy for him..
I don't care what he has shown or not.
Good players play according to the situation.
When you see your partners are not comfortable and you would be playing with tail, then why not take single on 4th/5th/6th ball?
Nothing is wrong with hitting 4's but should've been a bit more proactive in taking singles are right time.
Babar has suddenly developed the Akmal 'keera' and now easily gifts his wickets after a good start. NZ series was the last time he played a long knock.
what kind of crap performance our batters are putting up?
Someone should have stayed and batted for a loong long time.
Fakhar and Babar relying too much on boundaries, which is far from a good sign. Just set in, improve your defence + temperament and play out 100+ overs.
They still have to learn a lot, we're already 6 down in deficit. Over expectation from Babar.
Babar just played 63 friggin balls.![]()
Please tell me how many knocks he has played since then except that rubbish Pakistan cup??
Well he is out now. But let's give him some credit man. He looked good when most of our other players didn't. He will not be perfect but we have to hope over time he will learn from such mistakes.
Another duck. Why is this Bhatti even there?

Yes, he has so much to learn, which include the following.
1. Don't throw your wicket away after all the hard work (just like his cousin).
2. Improve your temperament
3. Work on your defense
4. Come with a purpose to play the whole session.
5. Be proactive, and when you see partners on other end are struggling, then trying to keep strike as much as you can.

Great points - perfect; question is how?
I mean, when you play FC cricket for <250 overs, on wickets where 170 is a match winning target, & in December when after 4/5 hours cricket in a day, you can rest you bum; then how can batsmen grow the hunger to bat for 10 hours, or can back their technique to survive for 3 sessions? Every ball is a hand grenade - better is to adopt gung ho style - 38 ball 35 is a match winner, if 2/3 can put such scores.
There is a reason why out of 150 years history - almost 75% of greatest ever batsmen have come from only about 10 grounds - SCG, Adeliade, Oval, Headingley, Mumbai, Karachi, Colombo, Barbados, Guyana & Wonderers.
That wasn't a rubbish Pakistan Cup.
Favoritism by the coach, didn't know you?
Yeah I wonder why you liked it so much. Probably regarded it higher than the New Zealand ODI series

Keeper playing a gem. Seen him bat in One Day cup. Not the most talented or techincally correct but hes a fighter.
Whats the big deal with Mohammad Nawaz?
I honestly dont see what he offers with bat and bowl that Zafar Gohar and Imad Wasim dont.
