This tuk tuk approach hurting Australia. Pakistan cant win the game from here...so they are content with the draw. The onus is on Australia to score quickly and force a result.

 

The bowling apart from Shaheen is bang avg. Imagine someone like Rishab Pant facing these spinners...it would be total carnage.

And that guy is their 3rd in line Test bowler. Almost always concedes 4 RPO and shows attitude like he's Bret lee. :lol:

 

 

Hanuma Vihari has a better average in bowling in test cricket than Naseem Shah their premier fast bowler. And he has taken 5 wickets all top batsmen. Naseem shah has played 10 tests and in 14 innings and taken 20.

acknowledge the greatness.

What's the permutation/combination for WTC looking like now? AUS and paksters look the two best placed teams to challenge us for a place in the final.

 

Still too early to say anything right now. We'll get a clearer picture once we are done with Bangladesh tour and Australia/Pak are done with their tours of Sri Lanka.

There's no way they can force a Result now..  Too much time is lost.   Just keep batting as long as possible.  No point in tiring out own bowlers.  Karachi will be hot for them compared to Pindi.

Naseem doesn't has the skill set yet to succeed at Test level.  He has good pace but that's about it.  No control of line & length..   

Atm only format fit enough for him is ODIs & even that's debatable with Dahani/Wasim Jnr better options.

Don't ever. Ever. Like wver *ing bring up naseem shahs name and call him a bowler. Most useless phasst trundler I have seen. Shaheen is good but not great. 

 

 

Shaheen is decent, nothing more tbh. For a bowler of his height he really does not get it to bounce much, goes into defensive mode once the ball is old, same level as Mohammad amir after his ban.

Yea bounce is bad. He isn't hostile at all. Even the yorkers are not toe crushers. I still rate him as a good bowler. Probably pakistams best since shoaib retired. However he is no where near as hostile as shami or shoaib. He needs to improve ability with old ball.

Also call me biased all you want, I genuinely believe prasidh is way more scarier to face than shaheen. Praisdh has steep bounce and it targets throat and arms. He also has a good yorker. He is tall and quick. 135-143 from what I have seen. He is a probably in all sea conditions and India. Might struggle only in n.z. he is a problem. I feel he could be more lethal than even siraj potentially.

Aussies batted very poorly and slowly today, Steven Smith is almost finished now , batted at a S/R below 40 on this Patta and couldn't even complete his Ton. What will he do when he comes to India ? 

 

Aussies became more cautious as they lost wickets.
