These Pakistani bowlers can't last more than 4 overs. They need to eat more red meat.

 

or Maybe Root is too good

Who organizes a domestic ODI tournament as a preparation to test series that too after getting swept in previous test series.

 

I want to know which moron came up with that idea.

Champions Cup tournament was held because they want to prep for Champions Trophy. 

 

Especially after that nightmare World Cup they endured. 

 

There is no easy fix for their Test cricket and they know it.

Perhaps start with not making roads? Their bowlers are totally out of the equation.

Raging Turner for next game or they have no chance.

Three spinners Nawaz Noman Chachu  and Sajid Khan.

Maybe add Ghulam and Hurraira

They can't win on any pitch. On bowler friendly pitch also they lost to BD in the 2nd Test.

They need 5 bowlers (4 + Jamal) and even then I'm not sure they have all those 4 bowlers.  

 

You can't make raging turners in Pakistan. 

Anyway they can't bat on raging turners.

That's their best chance. They were missing Shaheen and Naseem for that game 

 

Ofcourse they need to do other things like replacing captain and drop some non performers.

Shaheen is averaging 45 with the ball at home ever since his knee injury. He is part of the problem .

 

I'd drop Saim and play an extra bowler

 

Jamal

Khurram(if fit)

Naseem

Noman

Zahid

 

It's still an average attack but may hold up a bit better. 

 

This should be their template even if the personnel aren't particularly great.

they bowled well because those two were not playing.

Best option is for root to get out for low score in the first inning and everyone else to score big

What exactly have Shaheen and Naseem done in tests that some Indians keep hyping them? Naseem averages 35 in tests. Without them a bowler took 6 fer and Mir Hamza bowled much better than Naseem has done for years

 

Its funny when even Indians buy the fake Naseem hype

Exactly, it's weird how many Indians do the Naseem Naseem Naseem chant. Dude literally averages 35 which is worst than most Indian bowlers in history 

 

And before the pitch excuse comes, he averages 68 in Aus, 69 in England and 73 in NZ.

 

Despite playing for 5 years he has not improved

3k is still like 1/3rd of roots career, a long way to go, players suddenly lose form randomly

He has only played 6 games total in those countries, last of which was when he was 18-19. He has improved in last 2 years and can utilise good conditions

 

Infact averaging 32 in Pak despite such roads shows he is not that bad.

1/4th

 

English cricketers play too much. Even Cook could have got it if he carried on. They might make Root play till he gets it this time.

They were not missing, they were dropped. Then 26/6 happened so they were back.
