Keep blocking until it’s impossible to bat and collapse with a lead of 150. Absolute genius by the skipper.
Seems odd to not be bowling Rehan.
Thanks for the insight. I always thought in the subcontinent, cricketers who are laid back are often easier to target while the 'in your face' and aggressive cricketers are not doubted upon usually. You can see that with the example of Pant getting chances in ODIs and T20Is despite a poor record while someone like Sanju Samson sits out inexplicably. May be this has to do with the notion that these quite cricketers will take the brunt without making much furor.Azhar has still averaged in the 40s over his last 20-odd Tests. He only averages sub-40 against England and South Africa, and even though most of his runs have come in Asia I don't think any of the criticism has been fair really. If anything, his reputation has suffered from the fact that his home Tests this year have been played on roads, and that has kind of devalued everyone's runs. There's a perception that they can just get anyone in who'll do comparably well to Azhar in these conditions. Which ehhhh... kinda?

Azhar has done absolutely fine though. He's just not as young as Shafique or as pretty as Babar

Literally everyone can see it apart from those in charge. I'm so done.Keep blocking until it’s impossible to bat and collapse with a lead of 150. Absolute genius by the skipper.
Felt all series that once Babar is out there's not much resistance to come. Saud has done well but it doesn't feel like there's much to come after the top four.Literally everyone can see it apart from those in charge. I'm so done.
PAK losing the way here.
Interestingly Root the bowler is surprising me even more. Quite a spectacle!
Until or unless we get a whitewash from here, things not gonna change. Maybe this defeat can turn things over for the Future of our test cricket.Literally everyone can see it apart from those in charge. I'm so done.
Problem is, we’re playing another series starting next Monday. PCB is also going through changes. We might have to bear another 2-0 vs NZ firstUntil or unless we get a whitewash from here, things not gonna change. Maybe this defeat can turn things over for the Future of our test cricket.
Hold on bro... PAK has Nauman and Abrar. 170 odd might hand us a cracking game.Problem is, we’re playing another series starting next Monday. PCB is also going through changes. We might have to bear another 2-0 vs NZ first
