Latest buzz is that Inzy is pointing towards big changes. Well... It always happen after Australian Tour but after some months everyone forget. If we will see a century and some fine performances in PSL by the same lot of players we will bring back them again... Its a pity and misery. Also PCB chairman should be put on trial as well on a thing that why he commentates a lot on Captain when the team on his tour... Every time he comments and then takes a U-turn..... Silly..

Can someone bring my comment before the start of this tour, I said that this is Australia's best chance to regain form and their debutants to become heroes.... Handscomb, Renshaw, Lyon become Haurtiz of 2009 tour... I said nothing new or big.. Every veteran cricket watcher knows it this is the specialty of our team to make debutants flourish and bring back the out of form players to a legendary status in a flash...

Surprisingly Wahab is the only one bowling intelligently. Hasan Ali can only perform on pitches that are either slow or help seam bowling. He's useless on flat pitches. We have to thank Ramiz Raja for that.

 

[CerealKiller]

Thank you Rambo!

The reason for our fast bowlers not being good is that our domestic circuit is not good enough. Ramiz Raja under Tauqeer Zia with unlimited powers (which come with dictatorship) changed the nature of pitches of domestic cricket.

When the wickets were flattish in the 70s, 80s and 90s we produced bowlers who can run through teams with reverse swing or extreme pace or spinners who had 3 types of googlies or doosras. Why did this happen? Because they couldn't get wickets with just bowling seam ups. They had to find different ways.

When wickets are green we have produced medium pacers who try to hit a length and the ball/pitch does the rest for them. When in international cricket this doesn't happen they struggle. From Wasim and Waqar we are down to Ehsan Adil and Imran Khan.

Similarly for batsmen, we had stroke players in plenty. Now we can have batsmen who look to survive long periods, play few shots, and wait for ball to get old, pitch to dry, spinners to come on. Azhar Ali, Sami Aslam, Imam ul Haq, Fawad Alam, to a degree Asad Shafiq.

If Pakistan wants to play Test cricket like the 90s and modern ODI cricket we have to go back (to a certain degree) to the system that produced such unique talent.

Which is the highest opening parternship in odi?
I remember Jayasuriya and Tharanga Score some 280 odd runs against England in 2006.

We're at the 38th over, and one of Hafeez and Malik will still have to bowl an over to complete the fifth bowler's quota. Excellent captaincy

Yeah Malik bowled well he held warner back in the 90s bowling slower through the air.
