Wisden Article - An article I agree with but will get a lot of hate from us Pakistanis. Here is an opinion I will get a lot of hate for. I don't think Babar Azam is good enough for our T20 side and should be dropped. I know he has exceptional numbers, but honestly, he is not the right...

Retain Karachi please.

I would like to retain please.

Come on man, there is a T20 WC in 6 months. They have to come back for that.

And often with the tail when we'd had a collapse. Can't believe that Sarfaraz was seen as the better starter in the first test.

Also the 3rd highest run scorer for Pak this series.

If anything this shows how pathetic Inzi as a selector was to pick Faheem Ashraf consistently as the "best" allrounder. This is what Aamer Jamal has done in one series, and that too against Australia in overseas conditions.

I know they're working on faces, especially during the Pak Vs Aus tour - but I wonder if it would be possible to change the player models themselves. All these players seem a little thin and anorexic. I remember back when DBC 14/17 had really good player body styles (and the game was more...

I never understand half the unnecessary stuff that Hafeez is coming out with. It's a bit like a sore loser - and if anything it demotes the quality of work that Pakistan put in. He seems to do anything but put any effort into finding areas we struggled with and building on them. It reminds...

I think the only thing annoying me whilst bowling is the short ball. Without fail, every time it's a top edge and goes over the keeper for 4. It's never a faint edge, or straight up in the air (for a keeper catch) or pulled off a top edge out to square leg/fine leg. It's extremely frustrating.

I think it is hard for Babar to be self-aware enough to take a break. Arguably, he has been the generational talent we have been looking for and the pressure on him is so crazy, that he seems almost lost in it. I know we have a T20 series in NZ coming up after this. A slightly radical...

What I don’t understand about Imam is - surely he knows he’s not a technically sound batsmen like Abdullah Shafique. All his runs come on flat tracks. Why then would you play super defensively and essentially become a walking wicket? Unless his job is simply to play out the new ball to protect...

It is refreshing to see Shan Masood's captaincy. A step above Babar Azam. 1703639104 Wahab Riaz was against him due to his pace - seems almost like a joke now that we can't even seem to maintain 80 with a new cherry.

Last couple of boxing day tests in the MCG - both times the team batting first has failed to cross 200! So good signs for Australia.

Give Shahen a rest man! This is going to kill the man. He's bowling 125 kmph with the new cherry. He is exhausted - he's already bowled almost a 1/3 of the overs so far in Pakistan - and we have gone in with 4 seamers!

First 10 overs done and honestly, Pakistan just seem a little unlucky at the moment. Shaheen has swung so many past the bat, Mir Hamza is doing the same and Hasan Ali has bowled a few jaffas. Luck hasn’t been on their side Only down side has been the speeds today - Shaheen started with 135...

First regulation drop early in the game by Pakistan! For the unpredictable nature of Pakistan, we are good at keeping some things consistent.

Don't understand this decision to bowl first at all. MCG is known as a hard place to bat on Day 4/5 and we don't have the quality to chase it down at the moment. Maybe the decision was influenced by not wanting to play Sajid and include another seamer so better to utilise a hard day 1 track...

Same. It's that or the batsmen will under edge the pull shot and it bounces between the batsman and the stumps and somehow that bounce carries over the keeper for 4 - very tennis-bally.
