Shaheen should play the next test imo. He can't sit out every series. Would've had him sit out the T20 WC instead but that was never going to home. Should be recovered by now surely. And give me Abbas over Wasim any day.

I remember drawing a test against England so winning the series (2nd test April 2018??) after daylight savings had ended and bad light plus gutsy batting from CDG, Sodhi, and Wagner saving the day, so it works both ways.

Probably the strangest declaration I can recall in test cricket - Pakistan gave themselves zero chance of winning but gave NZ a sniff of a chance.

Bizarre to say the least - did England's attacking play get in to Barbar's head and he felt he should go for an attacking declaration?

Mitchell 17 runs short of the record for fastest Kiwi to 1000 runs. Should of opened this last innings, better option than Maceball anyway.

Interesting test. Amazed by Sodhi.

I know it sounds absolutely nuts and would probably lose us the test but I'd think about bringing in Tickner for the great Wags.
Dropping Wagner for Henry or Tickner makes very little theoretical sense but honestly Wagner bowling like he did in this test is just…embarrassing to have in the team? Like, a 5’10” guy bowling 124kph is just pure club cricket.

If you want a fast bowler Henry is also in the squad.

Unless your heart is set on Tickner the killer sea sponge.
