    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    When they made him skipper i knew we were getting Chanderpaul II. You just watch his interviews even in the language he is comfortable with and its obvious his whole life has revolved around only counting the runs he scores, absolutely zero personality and life awareness.

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    From Cricinfo legspin decision Yasir Shah had been dropped after an indifferent run and Pakistan were in need of a legspinner. In the squad they had named, they had two to choose from: Abrar Ahmed and Zahid Mahmood. You know how selectors sometimes find themselves needing to make invidious...

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    Too many theories floating around everyone from media, ex players to fans are just dumbfounded and making guesses why are we getting these pitches.

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    They ain't playing Shadab unless he plays couple of 4 dayers to prove he is match fit. Though i doubt a proper square turner with bazball you would be bowling more then 50-60 overs an innings not much different to an odi. Mubasir imo is the best young batsman based on talent still to make a test...

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    Pakistan can get a result if they can relase the shackles. Prepare a proper turner play with Naseem and 3 spinners (Shadab, Nawaz and the new guy Abrar who has 43@21 this season) maybe drop Azhar Ali/Salman for Faheem. Is the current management really ballsy to carry this out? I don't know.

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    Tough for Pakistan to recover from here. Before making any major changes the first thing that needs changing is mindset. Since start of this year they have gone every game with the mindset to play for draw, starting with how pitches are prepared to the batsman not willing to up the ante even...

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    Yeah Tanveer is a typical less known ex player who likes to say controversial entertaining rubbish to get these masala media gigs. However there is couple of credible journalists who have suggested Babar asked the curator to shave the grass and use a heavy roller as he was concerned of his form...

    Lol loving Tanveer Ahmed attack on Babar some great gems Says Babar has to think about his mate Imam's career, if they leave grass on the track his best friend's kitchen will not run Babar is just being a good friend.

    Tanveer Ahmed ex twst player having a real go at Babar. According to him Babar deliberately forces the groundsmen to prepare these lifeless tracks as deep down it pains him that he has just 6-7 hundreds and averages below 50. His intent is just to statspad and not care about team results.

    No it's a delibrate shift since Ramiz took over. The pitches and intent were fine in home tests till last year. I agree very timid performance

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    Congratulations England on a great win. I am no fan of Bazball but its got them a great win here as the pitch was designed for a boring stats padding draw. As for Pakistan who ever is involved in this head scratching tactics Babar, Ramiz, Saqi or the combination of all thre needs to sit down...

    I dont like Bazball

    No bazball has made this game better then anything this pitch deserved but its just the fear that this will turn test matches to two innings odis like odis turned to extended T 20's that's making you dread it for test cricket future.

    I dont like Bazball

    Again to reiterate i am not saying its not a strategy thay is not workable or its making cricket less exciting. I am taking it from my perspective, as an old school fan i like to watch a first day of a test match with a score of 284/5.A team chasing 422 in 4 session's ending up saving the...

    Abdullah wicket was a result of dangling the carrot. You need to dangle the carrot on this pitch to force a result

    I dont like Bazball

    You can count Ultra aggressive successful test bats on your fingerstips in the history of test cricket the reason is its not easy to do it consistently . Imo all it will take a couple of series against a good bowling attack on sporting pitches and the tactics will go down in flames. I dont see...
