Positives for Pakistan from Aussie tour

[putrevus]

The problem with Pakistanis is they still think they are producing talented players.There is one class batsman in their team and no world class bowlers. Naseem is still years away from being world class.

He is very accurate. More so than any other bowler playing test cricket now. Hits a good line and length very often.  Problem is his lack of pace. He is too easy to drive when he goes full and floaty especially when there is no lateral movement. If he was 6-7 miles quicker on average speed he would have been deadly but he's just way too slow. 

 

And yet he could not / did not bowl a single delivery at the stumps. They were showing it multiple times on T.V.

In LOIs however, Pak can still surprise (fluke) us due to the nature of the game.

in 50 over no chance re.....the difference we ll make with running btw wkts, fielding wud be the basic diff to start with and then quality difference between both sides is massive.  Pak didnt even look like beating us in recent encounters in Wc apart from CT final which we lost due to pressure.....bilateral men kaisa pressure. Humare pass bilateral ke sher hai.

 

In t20 they might spring in one game surprise that to also coz we arent gr8 in t20s

Before the tour he was saying that this young side might surprise Aus , Ab cricket khatam hone wali hai 

Classic Shoaib Akhtar. When they win he'd be like- I was advocating this guy's inclusion in the side for so long. When they fail - crib about selections, if's & but's, cricket is going the way of Hockey & Squash in Pak. 

Now they think after the inclusion of Fawad Alam & their most successful bowler in domestic cricket (forgot his name) they'd be more competitive & transform into top-4 test side. The reality is even with Junaid Khan or Fawad in their playing XI they still would have lost.

Babar Azam has been a revelation for them, he is a class act. This tour would do a world of good for his career. Imo he is the most talented player to play for Pak after Mohammad Asif, who was a treat to watch.

Made Smith average only 20..... one of the biggest positives.... even Top teams couldn't manage that

Yes ... make Smith wait in the dressing room for 7 hours or more watching his team mates bat ... he is so frustrated that he gets out cheaply.

 

Solution found  !

 

Voila !

Bounce of Australian wickets. You gave to be a touch fuller to hit the stumps and he's too slow and floaty for that. Same thing happened in South Africa.

Remember how Kapil bowled on our 1991-92 tour to Australia, when he was as slow and floaty as Abbas ?

 

He was still bowling lots of balls at the stumps and took around 25 wickets in that series.

Issue of having to bowl further up to hit the stumps on the bouncy tracks of Australia, existed in 1992 too.

 

If anything, in those days people played pitched up swing better than these days.

They have dethroned smith from No.1 ranking from test, boys played well
