Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

The one and important thing is that pakistan top order batting lineup is not performing and I don’t know why because if we check their recent performances that were good and now they are totally failed. I think the one main thing is that pakistan batting lineup up were only practicing spin bowling or playing in spin pitches but if it is the reason behind their failure then I also think that why saud shakeel have performed like saud shakeel is not good on fast pitches but he score 97 runs so their are many things to fix.

Pakistan team is playing miserable cricket for last few years. Before this series they lost test series to Bangladesh and draw a test series against West Indies. Pakistan team is last in current WTC with 6 loss and just 2 victories. They are not a new test side and they must know how to play on spin and fast track. The irony is that PCB is not interested in finding reason that why team is unable to perform in all three formats. If this trend continuous then very soon Pakistan may lost its test status.

Pakistani cricket is now almost on lowest level after losing second match at the Lord's management done another blunder they sent back 7 players from England to home and Coach Sarfraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umer Gul also released from their spots. Mike Hesson has the spot of head coach, and Ashley Noffke has the bowling coach spot.
They always do things like this because no professional person in PCB has enough cricket experience; they always make mockery of cricket and Pakistan. From here, now I am expecting things to go worse in the coming months with no chance of having any development in any format. They are going down like the West Indies. Mohsin Naqvi is one of the worst cricket board heads I have ever seen; it's a shameful act by them after having the worst performance.
All have just personal links and "parchi" (connections); no one with skills or technique is currently on the team.

The Pakistan team is close to being eliminated based on their current performance. With 6 losses and only 2 wins, it's surprising how they can perform this way. Is it the players mistake, or is there a lack of good coaching? We are confused about whom to blame, but if the PCB really cares about the team's performance, then at least they could take an interest and focus on the team. However, it seems like Pakistan is withdrawing the team from the Test format.

At last, PCB did what it needed to do! Big shake-up in the Pakistan team. 7 players have been sent home, and Hesson has been called back. I really don't know whether Hesson can do anything now. When he was there, Pakistan didn't win important tournaments. Imam-ul-Haq and Rizwan can now forget about their comebacks in any format of cricket, as they have been sent back.

Lmfao!!

Is this for real? Not just players but coaches are sacked in mid series haha only PCB can come with this sort of policy. This doesn't happen even in club cricket and here they are doing shenagins in international level.

Reading about imam, turns out he's repeat offender on faking injuries and everybody knew that but he keep getting selected? It's truly a meme team.

Under Mohsin Naqvi, anything is possible in PCB & Pakistan cricket. Removing these players and bringing a new coach will not help them. It him who should step down, and a new chief needs to take over the PCB. Under him, Pakistan cricket has been more humiliated internationally than under any other chief. They have been doing shenanigans since 2023.

7 plyaers sent back to home with 7 days remaining in third test at Birmingham no magic is going to be happen with these changes but they done good jokes for peoples to laugh at them due to their worst management which is doing all to wipe out this game from peoples heart.
Due to political influence its not going to be have good time for Pakistani sports because mostly peoples are sitting on high profile spots just because of their influence and links this could be bring more worst results in coming days after Ramiz Raja nothing is good happening because he was professional and have enough experience but now its all about personal ego and disastrous lets watch how they will do in coming days because now big number of fans are having no sympathy or attraction in this game due to recent results.

It's not because of mohnis naqvi alone but the system which prop same kind of leeches again and again.

From management to team sab jagah yahi haal hai. Everybody living in their own parallel world and is king while they forget interest of their own team, sabko chaudhary banna hai bas.

Yes, Imam-ul-Haq and muhammad Rizwan was dropped from the team due to his poor performance in the first two matches and the real surgery will begin now that the Pakistan team has been completely changed for the third Test match. A big decision has been made for the Pakistan cricket team before the third Test. After a poor performance in the first two Test matches, Salman Ali Agha, Khurram Shahzad and few others have been dropped from the squad, while Saim Ayub, Abdullah Fazal, Muhammad Imran, and Saad Baig have been included in the team in their place. these new players are expected to take full advantage of this opportunity and perform better for the team. Now it remains to be seen PCB these changes can bring success to Pakistan. I think the PCB decision to drop so many players is right and now Pakistan avoid a whitewash by winning the third Test

Imam is dropped and he will undergo an inquiry that whether he was really injured in last test or he created a drama. Pakistan need to win the last test because they have already lost two test and whitewash is waiting ahead. PCB must think about a long term plan to improve team performance. These changes towards the end of series won't benefit the team because players that are now sent have not spend time in getting used to the conditions.

Do you really think that they can avoid a white wash with this change. I just checked the average of the replacement players, they do not have impressive averages even in the first class matches and they are making their debut in England with zero experience and what is their entire motivation to change this many players with just a match left is mindboggling.

The team is going under changes after the embarrassing defeat against England, and now the PCB tends to make some changes to at least avoid the whitewash. Some players have been removed and replaced with young talent, and there has also been a change in coaching staff. Now we can expect better performance from the team. After these heavy changes, I am feeling the vibes of a Pakistan win, but at the same time, I wonder why the PCB didn't consider this earlier, maybe in the second match, so that Pakistan would have had a chance to win the series.

I am just repeating what I mentioned earlier. The new players brought in as replacements have not even made their Test debuts for Pakistan. How can anyone reach the conclusion that these drastic changes, including switching the coach mid-series, will make any difference in the performance?

I won't be surprised if Pakistan loses by an innings yet again after all these changes. It is not like they are bringing in players with the caliber of Saeed Anwar, Inzamam, or Yousuf Youhana. They are just replacing players with people who haven't even debuted at the Test level and don't even have exceptional domestic careers.

^^ imagine the scenes if these rookies and debutants beat the shit out the poms in last test match.

Ngl it'd be epic and more fun. Comm box will have something new to talk about especially Nass. Babar's pressure confrence would be fun too. I hope he remembers all the new player's names.

I doubt these rookies & debutants will be able to beat the England side. They might be able to give a good fight, but winning is not on their list. Most of them are T20 players, and the new coach is known for the white-ball game. BTW.. Iman-ul-Haq's injury controversy can get him a 2-year ban. It seems he has faked injuries in the past too. I do not understand why he was selected when he has been faking injuries in the past. That might be the reason why Misbah-ul-Haq actually resigned from his post.

If that actually happens, it would be epic. As @Cointikka mentioned, they are primarily T20 players. I even saw a tweet from Shahid Afridi about it. The PCB will be over the moon with their strategic move to change both the team and the coaches for this match. 

The problem is that the new Pakistan players have only played on the subcontinent's flat pitches. How will they manage on swinging pitches, even if they try to swing hard from the start

If we look at Pakistan bowling then its not that bad but their batting is horrible throughout this series. They need some batsmen to take  responsibility and score some runs that can help in avoiding a whitewash. As a cricket analyst, I don't have very hopes for last match because in test you have to play well to win the game unlike T20. Pakistan team performance is down for last few years and few changes just before final test won't help them in winning. PCB need to come up with a long term plan and for some reasons they haven't rolled it out yet.

[Out of mind]

However, it seems like Pakistan is withdrawing the team from the Test format.

If we look at the performance of the Pakistan team, it was definitely unexpected that they lost their matches continuously. Moreover, the players and the coach should not be blamed for this, but I think there is a lot of coordination error within the team, due to which they could not perform well. Moreover, there may be mistakes in the players' strategy and board management, so the PCB should quickly correct these mistakes and try to take the team to a better position. If the team does not pay good attention to it and cannot improve despite such a poor performance, then the Pakistan team will move towards a worse position in the future. In order for the situation not to become more difficult in the future, but rather the team as a whole will come back strong again, we have to work for that, and each of the players and the coach of the team should be hardworking and play with good strategy.

Yeah, agree with Cointikka but in cricket you never know and upsets do happens, we all know that. In this case, it might be a stretch tho.

In neutral games, especially against poms. I am in for lols n giggles and craving for village cricket vibes in the last match.

Bhai, we are talking about Pakistan  . I was giggling when you showed the confidence on a team where the board itself was not confident on their players. That is the reason they removed 7 players and two coaches from an ongoing series. Kya baat kar rahe ho

This statement of yours is because you have some hate against them.
