1st ODI Reaction

Phew! Avoided an upset there….Pakistan win their 15th out of 22 ODIs this year… Misbah maintains a 100% LOI clean record after 5 matches..Hopefully will be 9 by the end of the tour..Next match comes on Sunday in Harare...in fact the remaining 4 matches of the tour will be played there… impressive performance from the debutants (Adnan and Aizaz).. Not the comeback which neither Farhat or Malik would have wished for..Back to back 50s for YKs in one day internationals..he was superb today and deservedly MOM.. Ran aggressively between the wickets, rotated the strike, played some delightful controlled cricketing shots…Ideally I would not have him in the ODI set up anymore..BUT if he is batting at number 3 & in general I am not one who would mind his inclusion in this format...he is a class act...Misbah now has 8 50s in 18 ODI innings this year with an average of above 60...Umar was decent at best today, played a useful hand and engaged in an important partnership with the captain after Malik was strangled down the leg side by some brilliance from TT..However failed to accelerate during the latter stages of the innings…fielding on the whole was sloppy today..Ajmal and Junaid were far from their best...Cheema is the leading wicket taker on his ODI debut as well as his test debut..got 3 big wickets of set batsmen at crucial stages in the game with his variations…he has really made a positive impact on this tour in the absence of Gul and Wahab...Razzaq and Afridi were missed in the last 10 overs...Misbah really should have gone on and batted the distance..Nonetheless Adnan played a decent hand in his first ODI cap...didn’t hit many boundaries but rotated the strike pretty well...Sohail Tanvir had a good day out in all departments in his comeback having missed out in the WC and on the WI tour..Credit to Zimbabwe for giving us a good run & tight game... Taylor did a top job and led from the front...Hopefully from a PCT fans perspective it will be the closest they happen to come to us on the whole tour...I’d like to see Yasir Shah get a chance in the next 4 games..Perhaps rest Ajmal when the series is secured..Perhaps Sohail Khan instead of Junaid in the next game..RR will get a go I’m sure in the 20/20s..Would like to see Azhar or Asad instead of Farhat at the top by a mile..

ODI Series Starts Tomorrow

Preferred Line Up

Mohammad Hafeez
Asad Shafiq/Azhar Ali
Younis Khan (realistically he will play)
Misbah ul Haq
Shoaib Malik
Umar Akmal
Adnan Akmal (WK)
Sohail Tanvir
Sohail Khan (I think he will be better in LOIs)
Saeed Ajmal
Junaid Khan
12th man: Yasir Shah

Pakistan have won 14/20 ODIs this year. Out of the 14 wins 9 have come chasing. Misbah has been a key player in these successful run chases with 3 50s* and a run a ball 43* as well as a 32 and another not out all in the wins batting 2nd. He has got 2 series winning MOMs this year both from chasing in the 2nd innings. Hafeez and Misbah are the two leading run getters for Pakistan in ODIs this year with an average of 37 and 61 respectively. The leading ODI wicket takers for Pakistan this year are Shahid Afridi and Wahab Riaz with 27 wickets in 18 matches and 23 wickets in 12 matches respectively. Both of these bowlers are absent on this tour due to retirement and rest. Nonetheless Saeed Ajmal is here standing at 21 wickets with 10 matches this year. Misbah ul Haq is yet to lose an LOI as captain. Pakistan have won 9/12 batting 2nd whereas 5/8 batting first this year so far…….. 3/0 whitewash on the cards potentially if Pakistan’s overall record against the Zimbabweans is anything to go by? There will be a 2 day break in between each ODI and then 2 T20s with a day gap in between.

Pakistan undefeated for 4 consecutive test series

Drastic progress and stability especially in the batting department and captaincy

In the last 11 test innings we have posted scores in excess of 340 on 6 occasions

We have a solid, dependable, settled, gritty, in form and determined batting line up. Really looks like a “proper” test line up who can spend extended periods of time at the wicket, make the bowlers toil and take the innings to at least 125 overs+. There is discipline and responsibility

Have vast depth in the batting: Rehman, Tanvir Ahmed, Wahab Riaz

Got a good slip cordon with YK, Misbah and Taufiq. How they were missed in England 2010.

Have not been bowled out looking to save a match on a day 5 pitch on 3 occasions

Have had victory margins of 180+ runs or at least 5 wickets on 3 occasions

Have had some quality spin bowling performances from the likes of Ajmal, Rehman, Hafeez

Posted Pakistan’s highest ever 4th innings total against South Africa

Pakistan’s test side are looking significantly stronger in comparison to a year or so ago

If we don’t lose against Sri Lanka and England that will be superb.

I am confident we won’t.

Continuity with openers. 7 tests without changing the opening combination. 4 series that is. Taufiq+Hafeez way to go.

I don’t look too much into the defeat in Guyana because no Pakistan player had played on Caribbean shores before in that test. YK was absent. The wicket was extremely challenging & we were always on the back foot having to chase in the 4th innings. During many junctions of the game we dominated. Had them 9 down for approximately 200 on day 1 and went into day 4 requiring 139 with 7 wickets in hand. The margin of defeat was narrow and we bounced back convincingly to square the series and thrash them in St Kits during some difficult batting conditions on the opening day and still claimed 20 wickets on historically one of the flattest wickets around.

Hopefully I would like to see Shafiq played ahead of Umar Akmal in the UAE.

Line Up Should Be:

1) Hafeez
2) Taufiq
3) Azhar
4) Younis
5) Misbah ©
6) Asad
7) Adnan (WK)
8) Rehman
9) Wahab
10) Ajmal
11) Cheema

Back Up: Umar Akmal, Tanvir Ahmed, Junaid Khan, Manzoor

Reply via PP: as mentioned previously, our batting strategy needs a serious overhaul and I am glad Waqar will no longer be around as the coach so hopefully we'll see more purposeful & fluent batting performances in test cricket rather than slow, lethargic ones...and I am referring to innings building ability of our line up...

our top 3 need to improve against spinners as our next 3 series will feature quite a few of them...

Me: I am not worried about the pace we score. 360 all out in 134 overs vs 224 all out in 63.4 as we have usually seen Pakistan over the years with all these flashy or attractive one day stroke makers in the line up who did not know how to put a price on their wicket and were involved in embarrassing dismissals without spending much time at the wicket. I know which one I’d prefer. Additionally, there will be many draws this winter so needles to get too far ahead. There will be scenarios in where only 3 or 4 wickets will fall in a day’s play so emphasis will be on defending and surviving. We might only get 1 result in a series of 3. That’s how Nasser sees it. At times you can’t afford to go too hard on a flat deck and lose your wickets. It opens up more time for the opposition to enforce a result. Seeing out play & taking up time is the way they will go and should go barring Hafeez who will play his shots regardless.

Cheema's Dream Debut

Aizaz Cheema's bowling in match (8 wickets for 103 runs) are second best figures by a Pakistan bowler on his Test debut. Cheema replaced Mohammad Sami, who took 8 wickets for 106 runs against New Zealand in 2001, at number two.

Best figures by a Pakistan bowler are 11 wickets for 130 runs by Mohammad Zahid against New Zealand at Rawalpindi in 1996. And last Pakistan bowler to take 8 wickets on his Test debut was Abdur Rehman against South Africa in 2007.

Most Successful Test Year Since 2006

Pakistan has won their 3rd test this year by a comprehensive margin. The last time they won 3 tests in a year was in 2006. Seems ages back. Turning out to be a good year for Pakistan test side. May they keep it up against Sri Lanka next month. They have only lost 1 out of their last 6 test series & won 2 test series this year outside Asia. Things are shaping up nicely for Misbah Ul Haq who remains with an undefeated test series record as leader after 4 series captaining the nation in the whites. He has won 2 test series and drawn 2. Only lost 1 in 7 tests as captain and that too by a narrow margin.

He took over captaincy when Pakistan’s test status was being questioned after the spot fixing scandal and they were downplayed as a test side with all the poor results. He has got the results, made record breaking performances with the bat & kept the camp well focussed and trouble free. Imran Khan also rates and backs him as one of the best players and presences in the team after the 2007 WC debacle.

First time since 2005 that Pakistan have won back to back tests.

After 7 tests as captain Misbah averages 88.

Big season ahead in the UAE to follow.

Pakistan have won 3/5 tests this year with victory margins as large as 10 wickets, 196 runs and now by 7 wickets today even after conceding 412 and inserting the home side into bat on a flat bed.

Day 3 Review Update At Stumps

Good solid day in all seriousness. I said if we could be 400/4 at the end of the day that would be nice. Only lost 4 wickets in the day & yet we say it’s "pathetic?" The progress may have been slow but 357/5 is not bad at all. The pitch became slower and lower which has been acknowledged by the Pakistan batsmen themselves so it’s not been easy out there to score.

YK, an inexperienced keeper and the long tail to follow. All depends on YK & how he handles this responsibility. Hope he makes a century and carries the bat through. The bowlers will be better 2nd time around. More in it for Ajmal and Cheema will inevitably have his tail up following 4 late wickets in quick succession during the 1st innings.

Results Verdict on stumps at day 3?

Pakistan wins: 60%
Zimbabwe wins: 10%
Draw: 30%

Should target 500.

Ray Price reckons we will have a result here either way.

Big day for YK.

Ajmal said he has been working on his batting.

He could come useful today.

Posted at lunch on day 4

Adnan Akmal - The Batsmen

Played some attractive shots. Looked busy and compact. Terrible way to be dismissed. He is an underrated batsman. He has glimpses of class. He has a tight defence. His FC batting stats are a misleading reflection of his capabilities. Made 36 in no time. Pakistan have caught up with the Zimbabwe lead this morning. Ray Price has dismissed YK for 88. Much deserved wicket for the toiling honest working left arm spinner. A definite workhorse. Previously Adnan has made an important 44 in New Zealand at Hamilton.

Misbah vs Bradman!

Pakistan Captain Misbah ul Haq has the highest % of 50+ scores by a captain who has had at least 10 innings. Misbah has scored 50s or more in 75% of his test innings since taking over the reins. That’s 8 half centuries and a century in 12 innings. Cannot argue with the stats. This is phenomenal. Don Bradman is next in line with a 55% 50+ record as captain.

Reply on fb: but he still is not a match winner in shorter versions of the game.....Inzi could accelerate at will and as required.....but he is far too cautious than he should be.....he has either a full block mode, or absolute slog mode.....he needs to pick up the balance between the two...for a smooth flowing innings..!

My reply: Urwa, interesting thoughts. Misbah has had an unbeaten stay at the crease on 17 occasions in ODIs and the team has won on 16 of those. He has scored 8 50s in the 2nd innings and on 6 attempts carried the bat with a 50+* and got the team over the line. 2 of them have been this year where he has been awarded MOM as well. His ODI SR is very well respectable & his average is exceptional. He averages 50 in the 2nd innings and had 12 unbeaten stays with the team winning each time. 75% of his ODI 50s have appeared during wins. Ultimately you should be judged in test cricket which is pinnacle of the game & many of these attributes also come in handy in ODI cricket as these players are more complete material with an advanced mindset and wider range of attributes. You need stability, a responsible and dependable operator and that extra professional element in ODIs too rather than having hit and miss players from 1 to 11.

Hafeez Shines!

Played some quality strokes today.

Exceptional touch, timing and placement.

He has a brilliant eye and great range of shots.

The talent has always been there.

80% of the boundaries in the final session came from his bat.

Glad to see he came good in the whites.

Credit to the selectors, management and captain for persisting with him even after all the struggles.

Hopefully he continues on his merry ways to a ton and beyond tomorrow.

Well done Professor!

Taufiq Umar - Serious LBW Candidate

I rate him.

He is solid.

He is gritty.

His stats make impressive reading.

He has been one of our better openers over the years especially in the longer version of the game.

He has even been tipped to be Pakistan's next test captain after Misbah.

However, in his last 6 test innings he has been trapped LBW of 4 occasions in similar fashion.

Seems to fall over his front pad and lose his shape/head position.

A technical area of weakness which is being exploited.

He will be disappointed to miss out on a flat track.

On the first ball he faced he got a gift on his legs and clipped it through mid wicket. 4..... all day.

He must have been thinking it was to be his day.

The 2nd over he faced it was a wicket maiden.

Credit to Jarvis. He made the new ball talk and did the trick. He got his man.

Saeed Ajmal Action Modification

Not sure how many of you noticed or picked up on this.

Saeed has been using the windmill action for many of his deliveries.

He has been getting his non bowling hand high in the air and using a high arm base to release his deliveries.

Similar to Mushtaq Ahmed.

Seems like something he has been working on in county cricket.

Tino Mawoyo

I was very unfamiliar with him. First time I have seen him bat. How impressive is he?

What a splendid effort. Batted out the whole day against a proper test side (they have a respectable ranking), inexperienced in the bowling and on a flat deck, but nonetheless he exceeded all expectations. Brilliant concentration, stamina, temperament & heart. Never easy in the humidity. He wasn’t overhauled by the opposition. Showed plenty of guts, determination, spirit and grit. Exactly what test cricket is about. Frustrating, tiring and getting into the skins and minds of the opposition. He is relatively new at this level, but showed composure and maturity.

Took full advantage of a 2nd opportunity after Sohail Khan spilled a sitter.

Excellent find for Zimbabwe.

Did well not to lose his wicket to Ajmal.

Tough one to dislodge. Made Pakistan work and toil.

Good to see the hosts showing some competitiveness.

Tino showing resistance and stability. Unbeaten over night.

Alan Butcher will be pleased.

273 balls and still going.............

An Excited PCT Fan

Who would you guys play at #6 in the first test? Shafiq or Umar Akmal?

‎1)Mohammad Hafeez (last chance for him in tests)
2)Taufiq Umar
3)Azhar Ali
4)Younis Khan
5)Misbah
6)Asad Shafiq
7)Adnan Akmal (WK)
8)Yasir Shah (leg spinner)
9)Sohail Khan
10)Saeed Ajmal
11)Junaid Khan
Bench: Umar Akmal, Imran Farhat, Ramiz Raja, Aizaz Cheema, Sohail Tanvir

I'd have gone with 2 specialist spinners: Yasir Shah & Ajmal. Leg spinners always provide that attacking option. Sohail Tanvir in tests is not a good option IMO, but is a decent player in the shorter formats. Malik won't play at any cost. He shouldn't be playing ahead of jnr or Shafiq in tests.

Hafeez is not a test quality opener. No doubt about it. Serious deficiencies in his technique and temperament. Hits a couple of boundaries and then is on his way back. He’s gone 11 innings without a half century here. He gets away with it in ODIs with his overall utility & the fact he has more freedom to play his shots in the PP overs. Nonetheless he has been bowling well in tests as well, but you really need to have a proper opener there at the top.

I have a feeling he will come good. He must be feeling the heat. His bowling will always be there in whatever format, he just needs runs under his belt. They should experiment with him at #6 when the balls get softer and older. He can play with freedom there. I don't think this will happen, buts its a serious suggestion.

Alot of pressure will be on Ajmal. He is in great form and the most experienced bowler available. Plus these lesser sides are always vulnerable to unorthodox finger spinners. Don't have the exposure or skills to handle them. He is set to get a handful of wickets in this test. Last time Pak played here in 2002 Saqi got a 10 for. Sohail Khan has played a test match before in 08. Tanvir bats as well which will give him an advantage which is what they might be thinking as Adnan is a lesser of a batsmen than he is a keeper so they require some extra depth at number 8.

Anyway regarding the 224 AO in the 2 day warm up the new tour manger has labelled fasting as one of the factors for the below par display as all the players played the game whilst they were fasting.

5 scores of above 340+ in last 11 innings.

3 times have not been bowled out looking to save the match.

Only 3 times scores have been less than 300 in last 6 tests.

The signs are good.

I rate this batting line up. They are solid and dependable. Have been one of our better batting line ups in test matches over the years. There is a sense of discipline, application, determination, responsibility, gutsiness and fighting resilience in the batsmen who are willing to spend time at the crease, dig in hard and put a real price on their wicket i.e. Azhar Ali, Taufiq Umar, Younis, Misbah Asad Shafiq. They can now play out lengthy periods of time and sweat hard which has its own charm and significance in setting platforms, giving themselves every chance of making a substantial score and playing out long sessions confidently when the odds are against them. There is resilience and stability to take the innings to over 110+ overs so they can make opponents really work and eventually go on to earn respect by dictating terms. A classical but workable approach has been adopted. Test match batting disciplines have never really been associated with Pakistan batsmen since MoYo and Inzi departed especially. We are seeing some encouraging signs ahead of future series.

I'm hopefully putting this 224 AO as a one off.



Misbah's 36 ball duck in the warm up

7 50s and a ton in last 11 test innings - you can't ask for much more

a century in the warm up game before the WI test series (101*)

http://www.espncricinfo.com/west-ind...ch/489211.html

a century in the warm up game before the NZ test series (126*)

http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zeal...ch/488910.html

one rare failure and we are on to his case

double standards being shown

But yeah 36 balls without troubling the scorers isn’t the greatest start to the tour

10 Things You Are Hoping To Witness in Zimbabwe

1) Misbah Ul Haq scoring a ton in one of the games and showing everyone why exactly he was a nomination for ICC cricketer of the year. Captain leading from the front and continue relishing the responsibilities which he has been doing ever since his appointment. Adding more to his highly impressive run tally for 2011.

2) A debutant getting a MOM.

3) Azhar Ali or Asad Shafiq or even both for that matter reaching their maiden international century.

4) Adnan Akmal scoring his first international half century for Pakistan.

5) Winning all 3 formats (however I feel there might be an upset on the cards considering our inexperienced bowling attack & Zimbabwe’s recent performances against Bangladesh where they won both series.) Team must avoid complacency and ensure they get the results clinically. Will be a fitting end to Waqar’s tenure if this happens. I am sure he’ll do his level best to keep the boys focussed.

6) Yasir Shah bowls impressively on his debut.

7) Sohail Tanvir revives his career and confidence on the international stage.

8) Not allowing Zimbabwe to cross 500 overall in the test match from both 1st and 2nd innings. You might argue I am pushing this inexperienced pace attack but we have Ajmal and have faith in our untried rookies.

9) Not allowing Zimbabwe to post scores of above 250 in ODIs and 160 in T20s.

10) Winning the test by at least 5 wickets or 200 runs. Preferably finishing the job off inside 10.5 sessions or less. Margin of victory should be a comprehensive and convincing one.


MOTS predictions:
Test: Younis Khan/Azhar Ali/Hafeez
ODIs: Misbah ul Haq
T20: Saeed Ajmal

Pakistan Vs Zimbabwe Statistical Track Record

Tests: Played 14: Pakistan won 8, lost 2, drawn 4

ODIs: Played 41, Pakistan won 37, lost 2, other 2

T20: Played one during the Quadrangular series in Canada 2008 where Pakistan won by 7 wickets. Shoaib Khan jnr was MOM. Fawad Alam picked up 3 wickets for 7 runs.

Week to go till the first test from Bulawayo. Pakistan have played here on 3 occasions in the past with 2 wins and a draw. They last played here in 2002. Taufiq Umar and Younis Khan were also in the side back then. Saqlain Mushtaq claimed a 10 wicket match haul in that particular game. It was a comfortable 10 wicket win for the visitors.

News is that Junaid Khan has not been given permission to go to England to play 20/20 finals day

He will be travelling with the squad

Week Round Up

Waqar Younis hands in his resignation as national team coach citing family commitments and health issues as the reason for the decision. Decision accepted. Zimbabwe tour to be his last in charge.


Shoaib Malik receives the necessary clearance from the PCB integrity committee and therefore can resume his career with Pakistan.


Before we know it Shoaib Malik is back in the team for the LOI leg of the tour in Zimbabwe.


Pakistan will be leaving for Zimbabwe on the 25th.


The FL T20 finals day is this Saturday. Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq and Junaid Khan expected to be in action. Hampshire are defending champions. 9th time this event will be taking place.


NBP win the Cool and Cool Ramadan cricket tournament organised by former Pakistan WK Moin Khan in Karachi. Kamran Akmal is the winning team captain. Kamran also feels a foreign coach is the best step forward for Pakistan cricket team.


Ijaz Ahmed will be batting coach for the Zimbabwe tour. Inti is no longer manager. Aqib Javed is no longer bowling coach or team assistant either.


Younis Khan turns down LOI captaincy after being offered in order to reduce the workload off Misbah Ul Haq. Turns it down so he can concentrate on his batting and stay away from controversies. Misbah is named as Pakistan captain for the next 3 series coming up against Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and England respectively.


Rumours are that Ijaz Butt will be re-elected in October due to some change in constitution.


Domestic T20 tournament to be held again in September. Venue to be confirmed. Lahore, Pindi and Islamabad are likely possibilities as hosts.


A week is a longggggggg time in Pakistan Cricket World! A lot can happen. A lot can change.

New Coach Required

Waqar hands in his resignation. Zimbabwe tour will be his last. Although Waqar may not have been the greatest tactician in the world, no doubt he gave the team the stability it required in tough times. He did have somewhat of a dispute with Afridi on selection matters which led to his retirement; however in his job description he was a member of the selection panel so therefore cannot really be blamed. Best of luck to Vicky in his future plans.


This year under him Pakistan's record was: Played 25: won 16, lost 8, drawn 1


He took over the position after the winless and disastrous tour of Australia where as many as 4 players received indefinite bans. During his time in charge Pakistan reached the semi finals of the 2010 T20 WC and 2011 50 over WC. 2010 was arguably the worst year which had hit Pakistan Cricket and Waqar overcame the problems such as the spot fixing scandal, Zulqarnanin run away fiasco and incompetent chairmanship.


Waqar has medical and family issues and therefore his decision should be respected and rightly accepted. He currently resides with his kids and family in Sydney.


Waqar was no doubt a champion bowler and great servant for Pakistan Cricket. He claimed as many as 789 international scalps in his illustrious career. His services and hard work always deserves to be remembered and appreciated.


Sources are suggesting Mushtaq Ahmed has expressed an interest in coaching.

For those of you who are unaware, Mushtaq has been part of the England set up and taken the team to new heights where they won the T20 World Championship, only lost 2 out of their last 10 tests against Australia and reached the all important world number 1 spot on the ICC test rankings. He was one of Imran's cornered tigers during the 1992 triumph at the MCG on 25th March 1992. He generally is a character and comedian who tends to get on well with players. Moreover, Pakistan have been relying on spin as a key area of strength in the absence of Amir and Asif which is the area the former Pakistan and Sussex legspinner who was renowned for his vicious spinning googly will specialise in.

Foreign coaches like during the golden Bob Woolmer days or Geoff Lawson for that matter will be an option that could be looked into, however under the current climate that is unrealistic and unlikely.
