Creampuff 22,628 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 @psb07158 any reason why Fawad hasn’t played more Test cricket? Seems to have an excellent first class record and went pretty well in the few Test Matches in which he’s played. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have an excellent first class record and went pretty well in the few Test Matches in which he’s played. I cannot pin it on anything other than age-old Pakistani politics in the cricket structure. It's utterly bizarre. The man deserves to have played far more for Pakistan than he has done. At domestic level, he averages 57 in first-class cricket. He made his test debut in 2009 and scored 168 in the 2nd innings on a wicket turning a mile in Sri Lanka (we got pumped by them, IIRC Herath was unplayable). Then only got 2 more matches before being dropped for 10 years. I hope he scores a century as a 'fuck you' to all of the selectors who consistently overlooked him. There was a decent piece on it on Dawn (an English-language Pakistani newspaper) written by an Aussie journo: https://www.dawn.com/news/1568512 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kplfishtank 4,656 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Brilliant from Crawley but for Pakistan playing in test they need to win the run rate for a day was shocking. They’ve virtually no chance now. TEFTONG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve virtually no chance now. Fair play to the lad. He was dropped and the cameras caught him in the nets practicing and fine tuning his technique. Getting the rewards with a beautiful innings. I think the bio-bubble environment has begun to affect the Pakistan team possibly. Also another fluid display of control and power from Buttler.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 What a score. Don't know enough about the pitch but I'm assuming it's flat as fuck if they're not declaring anytime soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvern 11,329 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Just heard the news on Crawley and Butler, watched the highlights yesterday and they looked fit and fantastic, saw their final scores today, absolutely outstanding. England could get a follow on and bowl the buggers out in two after that. TEFTONG and Clemdog 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
