What you wrote is completely untrue.

I know what test cricket is, and I believe a good captain should evaluate the situation, requirement of the game, and weigh all options open to him. No one can say about any player when he would get out, and I do not see any reason Pakistani players playing should have batting order as it is. It was possible from start that players in order could get out early as happened, or later batsmen coming up in order get out early or play long inning. Looking at first class averages (and also test average), I do not think Misbah has done justice in sending players who get nervous in second inning. For instance, Taufeeq average in second inning is below 15 runs, so what Misbah was expecting from Taufeeq to send him as opener, a century? Azhar is slow player, that one can see from his strike rate in test that is below 40. His first class average is below 40 too, and his test average was below 40 until recently.

Anyhow, let watch the match and hope for the best.

and shan masood is from karachi (or has been playing for karachi), as you dont mention him so he is ok even if his average is poor.
