Shan Masood should next aim to become the PM of Pakistan.

His Father is a wealthy and influential man in Pakistan and Shan is captain coz he is educated and speaks English

 

Their Media says he will be given a top position in PCB once he retires

BD at least had Mushi and Liton.  Windies last played a lineup where no one average above even 30 in Test cricket. 

 

Their batting is hopeless

WI pacers are genuinely good though - Seales and Joseph especially.

Hindu Litton Das responsible for both whitewashes

They are.  But you need a half decent batting lineup and they don't have one.

I think Pak will win series against WI because Shamar Joseph is out of form in their domestic competition of this year.

In a low-scoring shootout, WI can win the series. Last 2 series (one home, one away) they have drawn Pooks, generally tend to lift their game against them.

An out of form Shamar Joseph bowling 145k is enough to dismantle these guys.

 

Just don't play a Trundler over him no matter how good he has done in their domestic competition

Think their batting lineups were a bit better back then.  Anyway, let's see. 

 

Hopefully , they'll pick Wickham who won't be a complete dud like most of their young batsmen

Full rizwan and anti rizwan in PeePee right now. 

 

Don't really rate Maulana but both sides are idiotic

Pakistani trundlers did better than the BD pacers. Without Nahid Rana BD pacers performance would be even worse. Pakistani spinners lost the series.

Pakistani batting is much more refined than BD one except Shanto Liton and Mushfiq.

BD batters mostly threw their wickets away and their modes of dismissals suggest that.

 

Pakistani batters got out to some good bowling and sustained pressure.  They didn't threw their wickets away. It took good balls to get them out

Pak batsmanship is better than Bd batters, Bd bowling was better than Pak bowling be it pace or spin.  

Good sustained pace with good accuracy. 

 

Apart from Abbas no pak bowler had accuracy and none of them had any kind of pace and with spin there is no comparision.

 

Nahid is like kryptonite to Pak batting, he is everything that pak batters does not like. Pace and bounce <-- nothing there to drive and pay batters do not leave bouncers and have tendency to play shots vs bounce , pak batters technique of playing bounce works with 135-140 kmph speeds but not against high pace
