Cricketer Of The Year
Sajid is an awesome cricketer. Hard to believe he wasn't playing ahead of Abrar, although I suppose his record thus far hadn't demanded selection.

Ramiz Raja should be brought to justice for his crimes against Pakistan cricket. This is still the worst Pakistan team ever but to nerf it completely with home conditions that helped the opposition was borderline criminal. No surprise that we've won on turning tracks in SL who are a decent side in the same time we've won jack at home. England have won like, twice as much in Pakistan since the pitches were Rajafied than in the 50s and 60s.

Yeah but babar got a score.

No joke but I'm increasingly feeling that "we need to protect Babar's average" was a large part of this. It's abundantly clear that they do, in fact, know how to prepare a turning pitch, so clearly the decision not to was a conscious choice by someone.

Still torn on whether to get up at 6 or not. History tells me that I’ll be fuming if Root is out by half past and by then there’s no going back to sleep. Feel like he could do something special tomorrow though

The extra 1hr and half sleep was definitely worth it for me!

We're not in Asia til 2027, right? The best half a dozen spinners not playing internationals yet should be spending their Winters out here with some decent spinners coaching them.

Get the batsman out here too. We fine Somerset for turners and magically expect our cricketers to be able to play spin.

Im not really going to chastise them for their second innings performances in both tests, game was already lost.

They needed to apply themselves better in both first innings, they collapsed from a position of strength. That's the unacceptable part.

Here is a cracking stat which is absolutely mind boggling.

Wasim Akram & Waqar Younis shared 10 wickets in an innings on two occasions in their entire career playing together.

Sajid Khan & Noman Ali have shared 10 wickets 3 times in their last 4 innings .

It's a regret Nouman didn't get to play enough tests. Hopefully Sajid can get a valid career.

We lost to the worst Pakistan side for a long long time

Should be the end for Big Baz. It won’t be and the excuses will come out

MCCULLUM, STOKES, KEY OUT

If they do bring Babar back, it must be at the expense of Saim Ayub. Move Masood to opener and Babar can bat 3. Ayub isn't there yet
