another reason why we need only those players in our team who have at least 40+ average in the first class..
beleieve me or not but sarfraz averages close to 41 in the first class....more than most of these new young batsmen who average in low to mid 30s in the first class.
Pakistan played well today but could not curtail Australia in the last session. Australia will start with 113 runs with no wicket down tomorrow. Let us see how the Pakistani bowlers will handle the game on the third day. Hopefully they will be able to bowl out the Australians with runs in hand to make the match interesting.
I am sure the inning was treat to watch :k: Congratulations Sarfaraz. He is Mashallah having a prolific year. Taking Aus on no matter where and at what wicket, takes some guts.
Will watch highlights as soon as available
and now, who will take 20 wickets in absence of Ajmal? The way Warner is playing, Aus will get into 50-100 runs lead by the end of 3rd day.
I want to see him in English and southern hemispheric conditions (SAF, AUS) before the final verdict
He for sure has a very strong case and should be around for the next 5-7 years ..... but then it's the PCB we are talking about
Why do we have to judge a player if he plays well in both conditions? Not all players are capable of playing in all conditions.
Sarfaraz and Shafiq scoring runs. Two Lyari/Korangi type guys according to Waleed. He is nowhere to be found today in this thread. He must be so disappointed.
The bowling looks awfully week. Why did Zulfiqar not bat?
I faintly remember that discussion, and that was disgusting comment.
Without Junaid, Irfan, Ajmal, Rehman or even Wahab this bowling looks weak.
bench is pretty empty sir jee …there are hardly bastmen with batting average >40% in our first class
what do you think is the first class average of asad shafiq, azhar ali, kamran manzoor, mohd hafeez, umar amin, awais zia, sharjeel khan, ahmad shezad ?
sir jee all of them are below 40 in the first class. Shezad i think hardly touch 40..rest are all below 40…and isnt this the future of pak batting?
would u believe azhar averages only 35 and asad i think 37 in the first class ad they are our future stars…
ironically umar akmal, haris ali, fawad alam, shoaib maqsood all average >40 but you never see them in the test squad…why is fawad alam not in the test team? can someone answer this?
PD shor nay karay to kaya karay
and you look india and aussies…almost every one averages 45+ in the first class…i repeat every batsman in india and aus’s national team has a comfortable 40+ average in the first class..some have 50+
