Good knock but this situation illustrates why first innings runs matter most.
True. Still, if he doubles it it might be remembered more than other innings.....

Rizwan's MO still seems risky. And there's basically nothing after these two.

Babar Azam has blossomed into a world class player now. If ever there was any doubt earlier. Should be one big hope for Pakistan for the next decade or so.

Whatever it takes!!!
Gonna say it again, Rizwan's knock the more eye-catching one. Just feel this was a better performance even from a pure batsmanship standpoint than Babar's but also add that Rizwan seems to have the bigger picture in mind than Babar who just seemed to have switched off after the 100. Rizwan is the read deal, for me.

Apologize to all Pak supporters for the jinx. Still think Rizwan will be awesome in the long run. :)
Riwzan has batted like an absolutely deity in A-team cricket the past two or three years. Mainly fifty overs stuff but only because that's what Pakistan A usually play. It was a bit of a joke he wasn't at the World Cup IMO, even just as a reserve bat if they were set on Sarfraz as captain.

This could easily be over without Australia needing to bat again if Yasir doesn't shield these guys. New ball + Starc back for the cheap wickets.

Its a world wide problem these days. When so many of seemingly your best batsmen are all keepers. For one, they don't bat the same way when they don't have the backup of being the keeper. Two, it severely limits the amount of part time bowlers you may need on a bad day in the field. England were the first to face it but slowly its creeping up everywhere. India with their T20 and even ODI sides have had this issue. Slowly now everyone else is facing it too.

Rizwan and Yasir just made their highest scores. Hopefully Shaheen can top his 14 and Imran his 6. Will be a great day for NUFAN.
