the only issue I have is his bowling partner in domestics Sadaf consistently out bowls him yet they continue to prefer Rahat over him.

Haha yeah I brought up Sadaf here ages ago; CPL international rankings had him as the 30th best bowler in the world or something based on his domestic exploits alone at one point. He must look absolute gash live.

And Hafeez is back in the team. So frustrating. This could have been an opportunity for Azhar Ali to regain some confidence.
Also Shan Masood should have been given a longer run.

Bhatti's first test wicket.Good stuff.He's look sharp so far.

Need to get Sangakarra out quick.His record against Pakistan is monstrous.

They should have gone with more spinners. I am kind of glad that Dav Whatmore is going after this series. He hasn't been that great a coach for us. I hope we see Mohsin Khan returning.
I remember when Whatmore was picked there was a lot of excitement as he was tipped to be this magician and I was never excited about the appointment. This is a coach whose last meaningful achievement was the World Cup victory in 96 where I would credit Sri Lanka's golden generation of players like De Silva, Gurusinha and Ranatunga much more.
The other team he was involved with - Bangladesh produced their best players Shakib, Tamim, Rahim AFTER he left in 2007 and yet he is considered this great coach.
Was never going to work for Pakistan.

Hafeez has too much clout in the team to remain dropped after 3 hundreds in a series.

So happy to see Mahela fail. What an overrated player and his record against Pakistan does him justice and I want it to stay that way.

Bhatti what a debut.
Great decision to pick him over an unfit Gul.
