Pakistan wonder why they don't come up with better bench strength or develop young talent?

You have a no good bilateral series on and you have Hafeez and Malik playing. I can understand experience, but when are you going to play guys knocking on the door? May be consider Malik for the world t20 but Hafeez again?

On the other hand, England were playing almost none of their GUN players.

Exactly, what new can Malik/Hafeez deliver now that they haven't earlier? Just nonsense.

Misbah and Babar want some experienced heads to guide Babar through the start of his captaincy. Don’t be surprised to see Hafeez playing ODIs too.

May be they should ask the prime minister also to come out of retirement and guide him!

Pakistani media and social media after SL series-

"Sack Sarfaraz! He's useless!!"

Two series later after he's sacked from everything. Pakistani media after their new WK has just shown immense grit and fight and a proper Pakistani ticker of the 90's-

"Get Sarfaraz back! How can you bench a former captain? Babar needs his experience!"

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol

It's a joke. Rizwan looks lean, fit and cut for international cricket. He will be in the best glovesmen of the world category with ease considering the way he kept in probably the most difficult conditions. His batting looks the part in tests and ODI's at least.

Pakistani media seems almost as bi-polar about cricket as the English press is with football

You know that is what typical subcontinent media do 24/7. Would always try and create some conspiracy on every possible issue that comes up. It feels so ugly when even former Cricketers come out and promote such things. The biggest example is that of Waqar Younis on India's loss to England in the World Cup.

I've only seen Sikandar Bakht and Majid Bhatti say it. The former is just an idiot, the latter, I don't know much about. Admittedly I just came across their statements on social media, don't really follow Pakistani media, apart from the Cricinfo people, Hassan Cheema, Ahmer Naqvi, Haider Azhar, Rehan-ul-Haq and Mazher Arshad.

Sikander Bakht was recently roasted by a female journalist, Aalia Rasheed in a live show. Aalia said something and Bakht disagreed with it, and questioned her capabilities by asking 'how many Test matches have you played?' and further ranted about her gender. And that was the moment where he f-ed up. Aalia just roasted him brilliantly from then.

Haider Azhar, Rehan-ul-Haq, and Hassan Cheema do a show on Geo Super these days, and it is wonderfully conducted and extremely informative. I'll recommend you to check it out.

I think Waheed Khan is also saying the same. I personally don't understand how that doctor with Latif and that Pasha chick are allowed to cover cricket. We have one Manjrekar, you guys seem to have an army of him.
