Behind The Stumps

Faheem Ashraf doesn't deserve any chance in any format but unfortunately his strong political family background with N league is costing us again & again.

Australia will consume max. 1 session of next day
Pakistan will have to score 450+ in 5 sessions
Simply Game is already over for Pakistan

Stumps on Day Three 🏏

Australia extend their lead to 300 runs after Khurram Shahzad's double-blow.

The Big Bash is on. That is their PSL.

None of Australia’s top test cricketers are playing in it.

One fit Pakistan pacer who can match their pacers in speed is playing the Big Bash.

And he is preserving his energies to play the PSL & other T20 stuff, which of course he is entitled to do.

It is Haris’s career, his choice.

Yet irrespective of what the Qalandari clan says, someone with higher pace is more likely to succeed than medium pacers.

Australia would be playing Michael Neser instead of Starc if medium pace was needed.

Australian players with their international contracts+IPL deals make enough money to miss their home T20 tournament.

PCB cannot ‘force’ a fit and available player to be a part of their test squad or block them playing a foreign league.

Can they ever host a test series at the same time as thé PSL which means no big local stars in the PSL like Australians do?

The players, the franchises, the sponsors and the fans wouldn’t allow it.

The money distribution model of the ICC is such that smaller boards cannot continue to compete.

Their resources are stretched too thin.

Jamal & Khurram have shown promise. But how many test would they get in a year?

Would they work on T20 skills to get PLS n other league deals?

Or work on line & length bowling to prepare for 4-6 test a year?

Add to this the historical record in Australia… as fans we have to realign our expectations.

This is an admirable effort but unlikely to be much more than that.

Not a bad Day
Following Aamir Jamal's six-fer, Pakistan finish Day Two at 132-2 trailing by 355 runs 🏏

Disciplined bowling by Pakistan U19 🙌

In the 36th over, UAE U19 are 143-5 🏏

5️⃣ on Test debut for Aamir Jamal! 🙌

Excellent bowling from the pacer as he becomes the 14th 🇵🇰 bowler to take a fifer on debut 🌟

Ricky Ponting humorously reflects about not having to face Waqar Younis 😄

Aamir Jamal: "In my first spell, I couldn't find my rhythm. In my second spell, I felt better. Later, I spoke to the captain and wanted another spell. We planned for both of them (Warner & Head) with short balls, and that helped us succeed. Head was playing the cut shot well so it was our plan to have the (catching) fielder outside the circle. He was playing the shot even if it wasn't that short, so that's how we got him out."

So, I so many words… Dr Nauman is making a case for Dahani.

I am quite disinterested in selection with the Australia tour n Choie’s sahab board. Selection se itna farq nahe parayga …

But this seems a bit obvious.

Dhani has more pace than current Hasan Ali & Mir Hamza.

Both are pitch up n seam n swing bowlers who r more likely to succeed in England.

Aamir Jamal seems a reverse swing bowler who bowls a bit fuller. May be he has developed this season but has looked really raw in most matches …

In comparison, Dahani is more a short of length pacier bowler. Much more likely to work in Australia.

Could be used for defensive or aggressive bowling.

He has played 17 FCs n is known for bowling longer spells.

Played 3 FC matches this year ..

But the Q should really be who has the skills to succeed there.

U r not going to get many more years from Mir Hamza or Hasan Ali.

When Haris refused, Dahani should’ve been next in line.

Unless, they find Sydney 2009 conditions for Hamza or Hasan Ali…

Match day ❤️🇧🇩
Pakistan have already confirmed their Semifinal by becoming group champion😍

Hello India Sunday Kaisa Raha 😂😂

New Lafda 😂😂

If there are multiple keepers in a Test squad, the keeper with a better glovework must play. Full stop.

At stumps on Day Three, PM's XI are 367-4, trailing by 24 runs 🏏

ex south african batter Vs our current biggest cricket superstar.

Fitness matters.

Sarfraz has missed three chances so far in this warm up match.

Wicket Keeper's primary job is keeping not scoring runs. If a Keeper costs 200 runs in field due to drop catches then his 100 won't be off any use for team.

I remember during NZ Series he dropped around 9 Chances and Williamson went on to score 200 there and then Sarfraz scored 100 and his fans said He is better Wicket Keeper because he scored 100.

Reply to this post if you don't want this admin to be retained.

I hope Lahore Qalandars use RTM or somehow pick Fakhar again because they are nothing without him.

The only player everybody loves ♥️

So My Hero will lead now Karachi kings too
Best of luck 🤞🤞

Islamabad United doing all the work with trades & offers just to lose while chasing 8 runs in the last over against a random Kashmiri boy.

Shan masood will become the first Pakistan captain to win a test match in Australia after 1995

When last year Babar was traded by KK and got Malik & Haider in return then Amir said to Jatt in the interview:

" Malik Bhai per ese 3,3 players(Babar) qurban"

Today News is that Karachi will retain Malik Bhai while Imad is already traded and no one is even ready to trade Amir so they have to release him.

Malik Bhai k liye 2 Players Qurban 😳
