Re: Pak V NZ 3rd ODI

on point 1: fair point but there is an element of it is what it is. set players can always get out after a good innings and there is no guarantee they can play all the way. yes, you can tell them to play till the end but they can still lose the wicket.

the team shd have inherently some depth in its batting to build on a good score. that is where the problem is and that is what needs to be addressed. maybe bring asad shafiq in the middle?

on tail- agreed that tail shd contribute and yes we have a pathetic tail. we all know that for good 80 years sir jee. but is there any solution? we need to discuss what can w e do this tail. any talent bakchhome? bring baack anwar and kick rahat out for sure

wasting the review: in hindsight everything looks easy. if i was the captain, i would have taken the review. you have to take that review, it was NZ batting’s backbone williamson and it looked close. the issue is not why we took one review, the issue is we need more than 1 review stupid ICC.

on azhar…i partially agree, he shd not be the skipper at all but i think he was scoring big few matches ago, so maybe we can give him few more matches

thx

Didn’t watch the match. If the Williamson decision was close. And the other guy Corey Andeerson was out, you can see the problem with DRS. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, there is a problem with racial makeup of (ch)umps

If umpire has a bias, he will call close decisions one way. And even upon review, for LBW, call on the ground stands!

Looks like a close decision wnet NZ way. And an OUT decision also went NZ way.

Someone needs to address the Elephant in the room - the racial disparity when it comes to umpires. At some point, the umpires shoukd reflect the playing nations - Test, ODI and T20.

Will there be poor calls by umpires whose skin is not of a certain color? Yes. But without a chance, they can never improve.

What message is being sent? That only whites are competent umps? That onky they are fair and honest?

Ridiculous, I say. What say you?
