you dont have a replacement for Imran Nazir?? I am surprised he is still in the team..

Me too, I thought his brain had finally produced some brain cells after watching him play the 2nd innings of 1st test.
Come on guys, even Afridi is better than him, atleast he hits the bowlers for 2 or 3 sixes than he gets out.
Guys the ball is swinging very much, I think once again Waqar has messed with the pitch, he might pay heavily for this, and we are already seeing the results.
Very hot weather, 100 degrees farnheit
I know thats usual Sharjah weather but that is still very hot to play cricket, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the Aussie bowlers break down.
Razzaq needs to play his natural cricket, I think he has been pressured by the captain and coach to not score runs and not to take any risk.
I have seen him play before at number 3 position, and he plays his natural game, he is very good at picking the short balls and hitting them for 4s on the offside and Lee is giving him plenty but Razzaq refuses to take any chances.
Imran and Taufeeq have joined an exclusive little club with Arthur
Morris and Jack Moroney, and Marvan Atapattu and Sanath Jayasuriya
as pairs of openers to have both scored ducks in the same innings
(twice).
Chalo koi to cheez may Pakistan ka naam roshan kya.
bohat achi baat hai.
6.3 McGrath to Younis Khan, OUT: Flirting does not pay!, again played
away from his body for an edge to a ball that moved away and Andy Bichel holds an easy one"
whats happened to this guy...he sure appeared to be a cool head in the first test..
11.2 Bichel to Misbah-ul-Haq, OUT: Poor shot! hung his bat to a fine
ball leaving him at least a foot outside his body, no foot
movement at all and its edged to Mark Waugh
I said before during the first test match and will say again, Imran Nazir is the most useless batsmen Pakistan has ever produced. If we cannot find another opener then that is a sad commentary on our team.
I dotn know how many of you are watching it live, but there is nothing magical about the bowling, it is the poor shot selection which has been the downfall of our batsmen.
