He batted well for 50 but needed a century from him today. One mistiming and that cost him his wicket. Babar, why did you have to attempt that silly shot for a single? Though he made fifty, it seemed nervy.
The pitch had started to perform low. Yet the players resorted to horizontal shorts.
We do not need to go aerial but rotating strike is important. Improvement in running between the wickets is the damning requirement in the middle overs. Rizwan with his personal goals has shamed Pakistan. He made sure that he gets to his fifty and this undermined Saud Shakil’s role. Wasting ball is his case.
However, harassing Rizwan in your own country and on your own ground. What has he done to deserve this? The man has never disrespected your religion. But acting like this undermines the grace of Indian fans who often claim the moral high ground. It’s a pathetic behavior.
