Although I have zero confidence in anything that is managed by Pakistanis, be it cricket or government and I have zero expectations as well. I still think they did well to bounce back from 51-5 to 194-7 and then to 223.
Given that they are playing a weak opposition, I think Pakistan can come back in the Test. They have to put in a lot of effort. They also can not afford poor fielding.
I agree, fielding has to be sharp to save the game but knowing that Butt, Farhat and Misbah will be in slip cordon chances are they will give few lives to Kiwi batsmen.
If damad jee (Imran Farhat) had also failed today we would have been bundled out for < 100
Even a weak team like WI secured a draw in Australia (2nd test)
Mark my words this team is heading for another 3-0 thrashing by the Aussies (or 12 successive defeats). Our tests in Australia rarely go into a 5th day!!
Definitely we need to give credit to damad’s luck!
