Pakistan Cricket or Mindset Fidelity?

2026-05-28T12:55:26.062+05:00

Wars of "narratives" in Pakistan

Wars of "narratives", is something currently being implemented in Pakistan, where it comes to society, family or the Pakistan cricket, none could claim he is excluded, whether you ask for a cup of tea, same old mediocre response کر رہی ہوں, this is not only limited to family but whole society and ending up on cricket and sports bodies.

Narrative building

Everybody wants to be boss, this is quite natural, but the reality how you want to be bossed, majority of times what I have been observing that certain action is implemented with social validation aspect that لوگ کیا بولیں گے, just for the sake of it, you kill the natural instinct of an individual, it is like either you are with us, or vice-versa.

Famously said by "Furqan Bhatti"; ایک تیرا ایک میرا

I usually not agree with him, because unlike me who is cool as cream, i.e., an introvert; whereas he is an extrovert, and hence it is highly possible that some of his comments are not agreeable to me, but this is something where I can't disagree with him, where the points he raised were logical, definitely undeniable because that Pakistani team consists chunks of Mike Hesson, Aqib Javed, and Islamabad United.

Analysis

As narrative building is definitely on high as Shadab Khan last played ODI in 2023 CWC in India, afterwards he is making Pakistan ODI return, and this is how killing of meritocracy in Pakistan Cricket, just because in 2021, they won a T20 World Cup game against India, they are above the country. This is why I personally want accountability on PR agencies because just like E-challan system where properly implemented, people have definitely civilized, and this is the reason why I have been vocal that such systems should be regularized.

Similarly, Pakistan cricket also requires similar accountability revamps, although it would require utmost dedication since as nation and as society, we have been so much corrupted, where our elders have been manipulating to follow a tribal mindset that either you're us or otherwise, opportunists take their sides whereas guys like me, who in their language goes with the books, think "bookish".

This is ironic of our society because elders like those who are on us, have been corrupting the mindset mentality, just in order to show their authority because they are irrelevant in today's time, but they want to show their importance, thinking like they are still geo-centeric whereas it is SOL-centric, which they still not want to acknowledge that their mindset currently is irrelevant, because they do not want to upgrade their skills and returning back themselves just like we selected same sort of cricketers against 2nd string Aussies team.

Pakistan Cricket’s Biggest Problem: Failure to Learn From Mistakes

2026-05-22T12:19:48.912+05:00

Successful cricket systems such as Australia or New Zealand prioritize continuity, role clarity, and long-term planning instead of emotional overcorrection after every defeat.

Are these guys really requirement for Pakistan team?

Pakistan cricket’s biggest weakness is not lack of talent. It is the inability to consistently learn from mistakes despite repeated collapses, controversies, and tactical failures.

Why Pakistan Cricket Keeps Repeating the Same Mistakes

I was listening to Ali Imran's podcast session with former Pakistani cricketer Mr. Basit Ali, and one thing which I can't disagree with him, that in test match cricket, if we won the toss, we make and take decision on the basis of how we want to play fifth day.

Although many individuals who are reading these lines, will laugh but a learner always takes patches to learn, and this is where "patches" mechanism made me realize that are we really this much mediocre mentality that we are launching "our finest" against those who are testing their bench strength.

Talent Without Structural Learning

ODI squad: 1. Shaheen Shah Afridi (C), 2. Salman Ali Agha (VC), 3. Abdul Samad, 4. Abrar Ahmed, 5. Ahmed Daniyal, 6. Arafat Minhas, 7. Babar Azam, 8. Haris Rauf, 9. Maaz Sadaqat, 10. Muhammad Ghazi Ghori (WK), 11. Rohail Nazir (WK), 12. Naseem Shah, 13. Sahibzada Farhan, 14. Shadab Khan, 15. Shamyl Hussain and 16. Sufyan Moqim

The Media Cycle of Overreaction

Persisting with same guys tried and tested previously instead of building them for the future is mediocre mindset, citing instant gratification mindset. Teams do not repeatedly fail by accident. Repetition usually points toward deeper structural habits embedded within the cricket ecosystem.

Pakistan cricket’s issue is not the absence of ability. The issue is the absence of continuity, emotional discipline, and institutional learning. Until mistakes stop becoming temporary headlines and start becoming long-term lessons, the cycle will continue repeating itself.

Pakistan Cricket and the Rise of "Manufactured" PR Campaigns

2026-05-22T01:22:50.921+05:00

Pakistan Cricket and the Power of PR Agencies

This is a cricket blog, but this character Brutus was a Roman politician and senator, best known as one of the leaders in the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE.

Based on the characteristics of Brutus, same has mediocracy being implemented here, where PR agencies have been sugarcoating Babar's incomplete "seniority" innings, whereas there were also seniors in opposite end, where they played senior innings, but here, Babar Sahab decided only to play innings which could benefit scope of PR agencies, but where is Pakistan in it? In my previous blog post, I clearly mentioned, how Shaheen was portrayed as first Pakistani to score 100 WTC wickets, playing as many test matches as he did?

Mohammad Rizwan - the "loner"

I am not going to call Mohammad Rizwan as the lone warrior, because warriors play just like What Inzamam-ul-Haq did in 2003 Multan Test, and it was chance for Mohammad Rizwan to become a Hero, but instead of receiving the beatings on the chest, just like that day Inzamam did and Mohammad Rizwan didn't, instead letting tailenders facing all the deliveries, and his only purpose was to complete his "landmark", because if you follow closely the video in this post, Inzamam didn't celebrate his century, instead just uncapped himself, while responding to the dressing room, where still some runs remaining. This intent clearly shows that Inzamam's intention was to win the game against Bangladesh as it was country's respect at stake, furthermore, Inzamam's body language was like job isn't complete yet, no celebration, no personal milestone, no optics, whereas these players have been seeking attention for small actions, just tell me, what benefit Babar's both innings score bought to Pakistan? I am not pinpointing Babar but talking about how Babar should be held accountable for not taking responsibility as a senior individual in the team.

How Cricket Narratives Are Manufactured

کہ دیکھیں کہ انہوں نے یہ کہا تھا I just want to say that things do not go in straight line all the time, it is literally impossible that a certain individual have only said this? If I have said this, have I only said this?
I am asking for accountability barring PR agencies, because instead of playing for country, they are playing for personal milestones on the name of the country, I was of the same age (the same age group who are so-called playing PR agencies) when 2003 Multan test was played, creating false narrative, not analyzing how their current false narrative will impact the future!

Accountability

Have you watched '3 Idiots'?

In that movie, there were two ways of scoring in exams,

Study
Creating such scenarios where that individual gets on the same level as you are

This movie was basically on educational system, but here I am referencing this movie, because Pakistan Cricket also lacks discussing new ideas, instead

of being the finest has been main motive, resulting in being mediocre. This is indirectly called as "status quo", that's why I always second Mohammad Hafeez because it was him who went against status quo and resulted in ousted from Pakistani cricket circuit, because this is mentality I have observed in Pakistani society, they are skill less and always hiding behind excuses.

Pakistan Cricket: Still not optimistic with Pakistan clinching a win from this point!

2026-05-19T21:00:26.247+05:00

Realistically speaking: Not optimistic at all.

Today, at 9 am when I returned home from my work, I just saw ESPNcricinfo live scores, where Abdullah Fazal and Azan Awais were playing steadily, after that I don't remember a thing as initially I wasn't expecting that Pakistan would sustain this much, secondly I was tired and sleepy hence instead I was planning for sleep and when I woke up, it was 6:48 pm, which means 10 am to 6:48, almost accounts for a 9 hours sleep, which elaborates a reality that this is how Pakistanis are treating Pakistan cricket, just because Pakistan cricket has not placed a standard instead adopting mediocracy, hence who gives respect to a mediocre individual? This is a question; we all are required to answer ourselves instead of behaving like حجتی and creating a generational rift between ages.

Let's be honest

This is first time, I neither watch the match nor followed scores online, because it was not worthy of compromising my individual sleep for these guys who doesn't play for the country, instead play with the country for their individual scores.

Celebrating 100 WTC wickets when Pakistan never qualified for WTC finals once

India has more potent record where twice they were featured in WTC finals, once against Aussies, next time it was New Zealand, how many times Pakistan came near to WTC final?

Is this how we want ourselves on the cricketing scene globally? This is a great shame, how we have been shamelessly trying to cover our faults while creating a positive narrative, but even if it is a motive, why not matching your performance accordingly?

There should be standardization

This is how other countries are testing their young players by resting their "Primes", whereas we have been persisting with them, all years long.

This is a shame, this is Pakistan Cricket Team, not Damad Cricket Team.

Mohammad Rizwan (kit number 16) mocked by Litton Das as heard off the stump mic

It was clearly heard in official BCB broadcast for this test match, where in Bangladeshi Hindi accent, it was clearly heard that اس کی ایکٹنگ شروع ہونے والی ہے, this is how we have made mockery of ourselves globally, maybe some might say it is Bangladesh, I say it is World Test Championship, a Cricket Championship with Globe, and this is how we are performing?

Although sledging is parts-and-parcel of the game, but where in the world is your standardized performance? Where are your performance standards? If you have been performing and then getting sledged, this is understandable, but neither you're performing and afterwards over acting, just like Litton and Rizwan (16) behaved, if I were at Rizwan (16), I would have created a ground by cementing my performance and based on that performance I would had roared.

Not on these shallow grounds, because such reactions don't count at all anywhere. This is not new; I still remember 2022 ICC Men's T20 World Cup and their attention seeking behaviors. This is not the matter of individuals but instead it is clash of mindset which we have to address.

Mindset Analysis

Mindset is created when you know what you want to achieve, else you would be swiveling here and there all the time, again I will compare my mentality, if someone mocks me, I will first think that why I am here, Where I am, What I want to achieve, and if I react to this mock, how it would make me closer or farther to my speculated outcome,

When someone as stupid as myself, knows this, how is it possible that country's "finest" behaving so childish?

Pakistan Cricket - Is this how Pakistan wants to play International Cricket? Sylhet Test

2026-05-18T18:28:16.230+05:00

Humiliation for Pakistan Cricket

PR agencies and their love story with Pakistan Cricket, but the way mediocracy celebrated in Pakistan is something worth bashing since the way Pakistan cricket has been celebrating mediocracy.

Who is the beneficiary for these mediocracy attitude?

At least I could assure that an average Pakistani cricket fan isn't supporting this mediocracy, we are requiring to give pride Play for the country, but instead elite mediocracy which is being implemented on whole nation and whole country.

As a nation, I don't want these players to save a test match because the same happened 2022 Australia tour to Pakistan Karachi test, and we are still being humiliated by those "unwilling cricketers" not willing to play for Pakistan, instead they are playing with Pakistan.

Bangladesh playing for the pride, but what Pakistan playing for?

Showing off mindset not only in Pakistan cricket, but overall society, now is the scenario, where Pakistan can't win this test match, is a feat where Bangladesh couldn't cross the line for 23 years, and now constant 4 test matches lost against that nation, at least compete to this extent, if it is all about PR stunt, what Pakistan is getting from it?

Does Pakistan still has this much of fuel in their tank?

Spiritless cricket from Pakistan, it is humiliating for me to defend Pakistan cricket on the social media, this is insulting for genuine cricket fan as Pakistan cricket is being played satisfying someone else' personal Vandetta.

Conclusion

Especially 2 overs i.e., 12 legitimate deliveries with no runs scored, what is aggressive approach? this is not aggressive approach to hit two sixes and then getting out the next ball, this is prime example of mediocrity, and our cricketers are prime examples of that standard, and I personally feel that it is Pakistan who will lose this test match definitely by that team who came closer to beat Pakistan in 23 years timeline, but our seniors played their part, because they were not اشتہاری سوپر اسٹارز as Mohammad Hafeez famously said and how he has been blacked out on National Media, this exposes how our society is heading towards, this is now high time for identify how Bangladesh senior players performed, and how our Pakistani seniors performed. So, this is mediocrity Pakistan is world known, honestly, I used to call these individuals who used to taunt PCB for celebrating Hong Kong Sixes Exhibition tournament winning celebration, but now I second them, that yes due to us, we made this mediocracy a social norm, hence it is our fate that we have to suffer the wrath because we are not willing to see that we are on crash-course to another locomotive, as we think we are the best in the world.

Pakistan Cricket: Sylhet Test Bangladesh v Pakistan First Day

2026-05-16T17:14:47.497+05:00

Pitch behaving totally different from Dhaka

Runs seems hard to score for Bangladesh, although Bangladesh have scored more runs than I expected, but this is where Pakistani bowlers are required to bowl heavily in First Class Cricket, because it allows you to imagine how you want yourself to be seen at the end of the day, this is unlike ODI and T20I, this is self-actualization,

Subtle changes from Pakistan

Pakistan lost the grip in the later part because Bangladesh have scored 70 more runs than expected and hence this will definitely prove.

No Shaheen

Change was observed, which clearly meant Shaheen was actually the weak link, let him be treated just like Jasprit Bumrah, I say which is disliked by many, but for me this is a reality that if you are Premium Bowler, then analyze your worth, and do not lower your worth like that, give way for others.

Pakistan Cricket at stakes

Even for a guy like me, who is a diehard Pakistan Cricket Fan, seeing his team playing without spine, is making him detract from Pakistan Cricket.

Winning and Losing parts and parcel of the game, but failing miserably and losing two different things

This is where personal vendetta policies are being impacted, I do not want to behave like a conspiracy theorist but if it is true, that a particular PSL team was owned by a PR company, having PR company is not a problem, but influencing this much that it starts eroding National Interests, and same like that mind game, where celebrating Mediocratic actions as if you have achieved a milestone.

Analysis of the days play

Apologies, I got carried, but I personally felt it was required to be addressed, but the game is still more poised towards Bangladesh because seeing the conditions, and statistics, fourth innings chase might haunt Pakistan without playing bravely,

This is test of Pakistani braveness, Bangladesh have proved they are tigers, but it is now high time for Pakistan to identify are they really "Shaheen" or crow in veil of Shaheen, because when you are at higher stage, than there is more responsibility on your shoulders, to behave such carelessly, because this is high time Pakistan should be behaving more professionally and compactly.

Why Thoughtful Cricket Analysis Struggles to Grow in Pakistan!

2026-05-14T18:45:50.463+05:00

Pakistani Content on YouTube

This is a YouTube channel where neither I know him personally, nor does he know me — I am completely anonymous to him. But the kind of analytics he produces is definitely worth mentioning and appreciating.

Pakistan sidelines such compact and elaborative content

This is exactly the kind of content that deserves promotion instead of the flashy cosmetic material currently dominating Pakistani content spaces. What genuinely impressed me was the amount of R&D reflected in his presentation delivery.

Compact yet Interesting Presentation

One of the strongest aspects of his content is how compactly he delivers information without making it feel shallow. He neither stretches the topic unnecessarily nor bombards the audience with useless filler material. Instead, the presentation remains focused, analytical, and intellectually engaging.

Substance over unnecessary glamour

Unfortunately, Pakistan’s content ecosystem often rewards cosmetic presentation more than actual intellectual effort. Loud thumbnails, artificial excitement, and repetitive narratives usually gain more traction than thoughtful analytical work.

Content creators who genuinely invest time into research, structure, and delivery deserve far greater visibility because they contribute toward developing analytical culture rather than just temporary entertainment consumption.

Analytical thinking deserves encouragement

Pakistan already suffers from a shortage of analytical ecosystems in multiple fields, including cricket discussions. Whenever someone attempts to produce concise yet well-researched analytical material, it should be acknowledged and encouraged instead of being buried beneath algorithm-friendly superficiality.

This kind of work reflects preparation, observation, and intellectual sincerity — qualities that are becoming increasingly rare within modern digital content culture.

Franchise Cricket: Dunes League T20 on Grand Slam format

2026-05-14T15:35:57.625+05:00

Another T20 league?

This is unlike PSL, IPL or any other T20 league, Saudi Arabia is set to host its first franchise league later this year, with the 'Dunes League T20' due to launch in October. The league has been sanctioned by the Saudi Arabia Cricket Federation (SACF) and is expected to feature players who have recently retired from international cricket but remain active on the franchise circuit.

Over the past few years, the Saudi Arabian Sports Fund has invested in many other sports like football, F1, and even combat sports like MMA, Wrestling, and KickBoxing.

The Dunes Legends League T20 aims to continue to position the Kingdom on the global cricket map while aligning with Vision 2030 objectives — promoting sports tourism, expanding private-sector participation, and developing new revenue streams through cricket. The league will serve as a key platform for nurturing local talent and increasing the sport’s visibility across Saudi cities.

By hosting the competition in various cities, the organizers aim to promote sports tourism and community interaction while simultaneously giving Saudi cricketers access to professional-level training and exposure alongside international stars.

Yuvraj Singh as brand ambassador

In an official statement posted to their X account, the Dunes T20 League said that former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh had been signed on as League Ambassador.

The new league is set to be run in a partnership between the South Asian Network Ltd., the Unique Sports Group, the Prolithic Talent Agency, and the Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation.

The statement said that the league is set to be launched in October 2026 as a six-team tournament.

Analysis

There have been widespread rumours over the last three years that Saudi Arabia would disrupt cricket by launching a T20 league to rival the IPL, with further speculation last year about potential investment in a 'Grand Slam-style' circuit of T20 leagues floated by the Australian Cricketers' Association.

In practice, Saudi Arabia's entry into the cricketing world has been gradual, via sponsorship deals with the ICC and staging the IPL auction in 2024. The SACF also partnered with the UAE's ILT20 last year and has signed a long-term agreement to stage the FairBreak Women's T20 Challenge, though the first edition has been postponed due to conflict in the Gulf region.

In their official statement, the league said that legends of the game were set to be involved and that the league was launched with the idea of growing the game in the region.

"South Asian Network Ltd, in partnership with Unique Sports Group, Prolithic Talent Agency, and the Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation, is proud to announce the launch of the Dunes T20 League in Saudi Arabia, set to launch in October 2026, with legends of the international game set to be involved."

Cricket icon Yuvraj Singh joins the league as an Ambassador as the Dunes T20 League aims to accelerate the growth of cricket across the region, create opportunities for emerging and established local players, and deliver a world-class sporting and entertainment product to global audiences."

"This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for cricket in Saudi Arabia and the wider region," the league said.

Pakistan Cricket: Sylhet test Bangladesh v Pakistan - Pitch Condition

2026-05-14T00:27:56.499+05:00

Another green top

Sylhet test will start on 16th May 2026 on Saturday, where according to statistics, fourth inning batting is really difficult.

Last time

Pakistan won the toss and bowled; I have a jinx that what if this time Bangladesh won the toss and bowled? I am also skeptic like Dr. Nauman Niaz that 2:0 on waiting for Pakistan because Pakistani team is selected on social media fan following,

Social media in India not as influential as it is in Pakistan

Social media in Pakistan is too much influential, and instead we learn from neighbouring country India, their social media audiences more active on social media but they are not influential as country comes first there, whereas her social media comes here first.

Conclusion

Let's hope sanity prevails and a team selected which is not on social media influence.

Pakistan Cricket: Dhaka test between Bangladesh and Pakistan in favour of Bangladesh - richly deserved

2026-05-12T19:58:41.330+05:00

I ride motor bike

Whenever I ride motor bike, I live in Ahsanabad area of Karachi, if I am at Baloch Colony bridge, would I ask for guidance from my father back at home? I learnt from my lessons and since 2024, Mashallah I never fell from bike, although little scratches, but it is controllable, but not reparative incidents occurred, last time I got hit exactly on the Same Day when Islamabad United won 2024 HBL PSL season, got hit on my arms, and knees, but the fact is I learnt my lesson.

But have they (Pakistan Cricket Team) learnt their lesson?

I have played cricket myself, even I knew
whether the ball has touched my bat or not,
why wasting review and more importantly
making mockery of Pakistan on foreign
soil?

Same repetitive mistakes again-and-again, boasting loads matter none, this is your impact, this is why I second Aussies sending their second-string ODI squad, we deserve it, because instead of learning from our mistakes, we want to follow the same mistakes.

Where is Team Building?

It was like Azan Awais, Abdullah Fazal were playing somewhere else (as said for Shubman Gil, playing at Ahmedabad) and Rest (Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Shan Masood, and Salman Ali Agha) were playing somewhere else?

Or Else We are waiting for another Debacle?

These things are
well known
whoever facing the
ball, have some sanity

Paving the way for Babar Azam, just like Babar aye ga, Sab Thik hojai ga, is this a publicity stunt? Are we seeing Pakistani Cricket or a Publicity Stunt Cricket? That's why Aussies are right in utilizing their young slot, because they are building THEIR age group cricket, they are not concerned with us, Plus the way we have been performing, we don't deserve that their "Premier Cricketers" who are really Premier, unlike ours "Social Media" Premier Cricketers.

Caveat on Us as supporters

Because we have been exploited in order to create a hand in having a fake publicity stunt trend on social media, we should accountable our own actions, instead of criticising Indians and the regions, they have the right to mock when we are providing entertainment to them. اوروں سے کیا گلا

Conclusion

Well played Bangladesh team, there are still sportsmen left in Pakistan who appreciate good cricket.

Pakistan Cricket: According to situation cricket players required instead of selecting on basis Social Media trends

2026-05-11T17:47:03.591+05:00

Stop ruining Pakistan Cricket with social media

There is no denial in power of social media, but there should be mechanism on how social media be implementing impact on Pakistan cricket,

How is it possible?

a particular bowler selected in one format is applicable in all formats?
a particular batsman/batter on social media trends, making him skipper of Pakistan white ball cricket on social media.
how are such young GEN-Z able to create such fake trends?
there should be mechanism where identifying who is creating such trends!
there should be mechanism identifying who is creating such over-hyped trends?

Who is hiding behind those fake social media trends?

First of all, some of them are those WhatsApp ChaCha's who are free at home, they are usually responsible for such activities as they have nothing at home, nor they are respected at home, because of their nagging nature.

After that, there are those young GEN-Zs who are not asked for second roti at home, these are the majorly population of these fake social media campaigns, and therefore these social media companies use these individuals for their social media campaigns.

Systematic eradication of such characters

Just like E-Challan campaign implemented in Karachi, same E-Challan mechanism be applied on such ID's just like Quora and Reddit implemented for eradicating Spam, hence I admit my main Quora ID got banned because I accidently placed my blog link on comments section, and I admit it should have been noted accordingly while posting and currently in process for unbanning, but I appreciate because by this mechanism, people get extra-cautious while posting anything on Quora and Reddit, whereas on X/Twitter it is on the loose gripped, for which these social media narcissistic individuals, because this is turning into a problem,

But it is high time, we have to grip these GEN-Zs (who have nothing to do in real world) and those uncles (who again do not have anything to do in real world), social media is not a laundromat to get your ideas recycled.

Pakistan Cricket: Dhaka Test done-and-dusted in favour of Bangladesh on Day Four just because "We are the BEST" mentality - this is the BEST

2026-05-11T17:00:07.324+05:00

Definite curtains for Pakistan
This is high time....

This is high time that Pakistan should look into individual based team selection, which in Karachi language, خلیفہ گیری which we all are engulfed into it, because we are not giving chances and giving respect to our own home-grown talent.

This is Societal Trait

Because the way, Karachi Baby Boomers have been trying to converge their ideas on younger generations, but I would highlight an aspect, that if that knowledge is as important, the mindset those generations are trying to implement in our minds, it is replicated in Pakistan Cricket's performance, where seniors are trying to settle their old scores, instead of creating safe environment for juniors.

Megalomania

Just look how players have been selected on the basis of social media, and individual statistics OVER country, which clearly means Pakistan will never play WTC final, but Shaheen's 100 WTC wicket is celebrated, this is only icing on the cake, this is nowhere only single incident, this has been happening since long and we have started taking this for granted.

Conclusion

غلط کو غلط کہنے کی ہمت رکھیں، اور پلاوجہ الٹی بحث کر کے جیت حاصل کرنا کوئی ٖفخر کی بات نہیں، and this is high

Story of the day, where I don't know how Pakistan
was on domination at stumps

time we should expose ourselves with reality instead of just behaving like Winning an argument is everything and making noise on social media just to show impact without consent.

If Pakistan losses the game tomorrow, it won't be surprised for me since country's respect and dignity should always come first, instead of showing importance by relocating your own ~~favorite~~ fan favorite teams representing Pakistan, and this mindset is being injected by our Baby Boomers.

How is it possible that Shaheen Shah Afridi who is supposedly T20I bowler, how is it possible he is equally effective in ODI and Test matches? There should be variable bowlers for each format.

Pakistan Cricket: Dhaka Test - Bangladesh v Pakistan Day 4 - Curtains for Pakistan as Bangladesh is already 34-0

2026-05-10T20:44:17.797+05:00

Bangladesh clearly on advantage for Day-4
Bangladesh "definitely" on high

Yester-years cricket fans on basis of statistics rightly saying that Pakistan have a chance, but realistically speaking, as I have been critical on the mindset management, because based on the mindset point of view, it is definitely not possible Pakistan taking on this test match, I have been listening to podcasts on this test match, that Pakistan have chance, but reality is Pakistan doesn't stand a chance as not on the capability but instead I am saying on the basis of mindset basis, and honestly speaking mindset doesn't change overnight, and hence tomorrow is critical two-way route, either tomorrow match will turn on its head towards Pakistan else majority of the chances are Bangladesh taking advantage of tomorrow's circumstances.

Except for Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha, none took initiative

Because the way, Shan Masood and Saud Shakeel took their wicket for granted, because today it was Pakistan's game to lose, because if After Azan and Fazal, had we this partnership, it would had created a difference.

But tomorrow's new day

And hypothetically speaking, if Pakistan bowls on right track, furthermore Pakistan would have to bowl really tight lengths, and similarly I expect from Umar Gul, that he tells young bowlers to behave maturely,

I didn't expect much from seniors from Pakistan, but how Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha took the game, but how Saud Shakeel and Shan Masood played, took advantage from us, else had he stayed a little longer, it was definite that Pakistan will cross 413 score.

This is today's breakdown of the sessions played today, one thing which I noted, that at lunch session, R/R was 3.54, afterwards drinks session R/R was 3.79, at tea session R/R was 3.89, and drinks session where Pakistan finally collapsed, session R/R was 3.84, but ironically when I looked into session only score, lunch session R/R was 2.88, than afterwards drinks 5.27, tea session was 5.21, and afterwards at drinks 3.22 because Pakistan lost 4 wickets.

Conclusion

Right now, Bangladesh is not 7/0 in 1.5 overs, instead right now Bangladesh is 34/0 in 1.5 overs, I fear as I don't have confidence on my seniors, Pakistan will definitely get target of around 250 runs, because what I am going through uninterrupted sessions at TapMad, I was seeing that pitch color was turning pale from greener color with patches on the wicket.

Pakistan Cricket: Dhaka Test Day 3, Bangladesh v Pakistan, Pakistan bowled out for 386 in 100.3 overs, giving lead of 27 runs to Bangladesh

2026-05-10T16:54:55.157+05:00

Bangladesh heads-on advantage

Pakistan bowled out for 386 giving lead of 27 runs, which means Bangladesh on Heads on advantage i.e., 27 runs per score, and even if you go through minute detail, compared to yesterday Runs Scored per Session has been on the decline, which clearly indicate a fact that batting last on this sweaty pitch (since it is a clay track) will get difficult since I have not seen highlights by now but as per statistics, and seeing a trend in decline in Run Rate per Session or as I have mentioned in my Sheet at SRR (Session Run Rate), whereas ORR (Overall Run Rate), and have been seeing a downward dip in Run Rate, which means Uneven bounce, since the amount of limited knowledge I have off clay, this is an indication that even bowlers do not know how ball will behave after it bounces off the wicket.

27 per runs scored will prove definite

Pakistan would have to bowl out Bangladesh quickly as anything excess of 150 which means if Bangladesh scores (150-27=123) 123 or more, it'd be DEFINITE curtains for Pakistan, and might result in First Test Match Defeat on Bangladeshi soil, and seriously I personally want these social media bowlers exposed badly. Right now while I was typing these lines, game has been called off due to bad light.

Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium
in Hyderabad Deccan

Hyderabad's Niaz Stadium is now officially given to Kingsmen group (the group who is owning Hyderabad Kingsmen franchise in PSL, I hope they will create same renovate same as I wish would renovate Niaz stadium, Hyderabad Sindh, just like Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad Deccan, because today it depends on looks-and-feel, and let's be honest, their (India) stadiums looks more modern and aesthetic than our stadiums, even I got to see drone view of the Shere-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, it looked much better than our National Bank Cricket Stadium in Karachi, and they look much better in looks and aesthetics, than tell me how are you going to make Pakistan Cricket as a product?

Drone views of National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka

Even Dhaka's National Stadium looks sleek, and good on the eyes, keeping in mind, it is older than Karachi's National Stadium, since it was one of first cricket stadiums in United Pakistan, so it dates back before 1955, as Karachi's stadium was built in 1955 i.e., 1954, now not used for cricket, but as seen and observed from the drone views, generally used for football and athletics, although it hosted opening ceremony of 2011 cricket world cup event, although of the similar age as Karachi's National Stadium, it looks much better than Karachi, because we are good in ruining things but unable to create anything productive, that is why we are prone to "imported" goods whereas happy in "not" purchasing Pakistani originated goods

Respect to be given at right place

As I have been mentioning this again and again that there should be mechanism where Human Development Index should be quantified, as such matured youngsters have been seen, we are required to make them what they are instead of making us ourselves, repeating same mistakes which we did, this has been the direction we have been going on.

Technically sound

One thing which you might have missed but during initial times when Azan Awais came on the pitch, and was introduced with Nahid Rana (not Naheed Rana), he had faced a brutal bouncer on the helmet, had it been someone else, he would had hidden his deficiency as Awais was feeling slowed down, hence he immediately called for physio, else we had examples of Shaheens where he hide his injury so that he could be regular part of the national cricket team and flex on social media that he is premier fast bowler of the country, where premier fast bowler of the country isn't able to regain that 2021 T20 World Cup form, has turned into a T20 player, because his stamina right now lasts four overs, whereas 37 years old Mohammad Abbas is more wit and fit than him, these players only play for social media, as I have been going through social media, where those who started watching cricket teaching us what cricket really looks like according to them,

Conclusion

Again, there should be a mechanism for looking into such social media "Kasheef"'s because let's be honest, it is an open space, everybody has the right to say his or her heart out, but should it be allowed on the level of manipulation? I am none, but at least such rash circumstances which couldn't be curtailed later shouldn't be initiated at first place.

Shaheen Shah Afridi in Test Cricket Since 2022:

Conclusion

Nomenclature isn't the solution instead it is high time to identify the mentality and the mindset, because the mindset is major identification of issue, and let them accountable that they are getting contracts on the name of Pakistan, hence it is high time to Play for Pakistan, do not play with Pakistan, just like today I was listening to Ali (link in previous post), he also mentioned that the zeal Abbas bowled, Hasan Ali and Shaheen Afridi derailed the pressure, hence PCB chief has to identify the mentality instead of nomenclature.

Pakistan Cricket: Bangladesh v Pakistan Dhaka Test Day 2 - Abbas defends Pakistan's decision of bowling first, but were unlucky

2026-05-09T14:36:57.998+05:00

We were unlucky; defends Mohammad Abbas

Mohammad Abbas who was pick of the bowlers on Dhaka test Day 1, and was extremely economical, which resulted in Mohammad Abbas taking five wickets, because I personally observed that it was like Abbas was exerting pressure from one end, but it was eased out, which is not shown from statistics, but as I have been critical of how statistics prone we have been recently, where saying that Shaheen took 100 WTC wickets, but just tell me, how much those 100 WTC wickets benefit Pakistan? I might look skeptic, but this is something we all have to confess, because we as society have been hungry for validation or like we say in Urdu شعبدے بازی, keeping long story short, this is prevalent in Shaheen as well, where Instead of playing for Pakistan, they are playing for their statistics.

Spongy wicket of Day-one

If they had been playing red ball cricket, they would had understood the mechanism of how test match wicket looks, because the way I noticed changes between day one and day two wickets, where bowlers wasn't able to tackle spongy soft wicket, next day (today) when clay settled, we are seeing Mohammad Abbas top of the tally with 5 wickets, with stingy economy rate, but Shaheen released that pressure by not picking up a line, because in test match cricket, bowlers bowl in tandem, it is not possible you bowl like Superman where all of bowling capabilities in one bowler isn't possible.

Specialized bowlers

If it was time of Shoaib Akhtar's prime, and he got such a wicket like what we got yesterday, he would had hit the deck hard, making marks on the wicket, because it would support spinners later on, this is how test match cricket is being played, Pakistan won the Carlton & United 2000 series in Australia, because Pakistan was able to utilize the conditions by using their bowlers.

Either

Shaheen and other bowlers not willing to do this job, instead they all want bowling around them, this is megalomania, and not blaming Shaheen and Co., overall Pakistani society is like that, no maturity at all, instead ruining young players just because they look like themselves, this is the same I have been facing right now, and this documentation is the reason I want to document this discrepancy.

Everything is Validated

This behavior clearly mentions that everything is validated, but none have the tendency to think that how such megalomaniac behavior is messing with Pakistan's reputation internationally, but these statistics mongers do not care for Pakistan's reputation, instead they want to satisfy their inner urge of validation.

Pakistan Cricket: Bangladesh v Pakistan Dhaka Test Day 2 - Bangladesh all out on 413 in 114.3 overs, Pakistan on stumps 179/1 deficit 234 🤞🏼

2026-05-09T13:39:20.177+05:00

Mohammad Abbas showed why he is good in test match cricket

Statistics don't show how, when and where the bowler bowled, it was when I viewed highlights on my mobile phone because scores showed that Bangladesh bowled out for 413 in 114.3 overs, I had to look into it, and without any doubt, Abbas was the pick of the bowlers, Shaheen showed 3 wickets but the manner they were taken is useless, when you're not hitting the deck, instead bowlers like him, have a responsibility that if one bowler is bowling well, than it is better to exert pressure in the next end, but statistics don't show how much pressure was released from the other end.

At Stumps

Session by session breakup of day two

Although score looks favorable, but like my excel sheet says, I also feel Bangladesh on the top, because fresh-day's pitch is something challenging for the debutants, because yesterday too Bangladesh was steady with 4 wickets down, where during lunch session, 79 runs 15.3 overs for 3 wickets, and similarly when post-lunch drinks session, runs scored 33 runs with 14 overs, for 3 more wickets, this is how Bangladesh's morning session ended, so how could be possible, new demons on a fresh morning pitch.

Pakistan moving inside danger zone

I do not want to call myself as curser, but tomorrow's morning session is tricky and I feel that if Pakistan survives morning session, although run rate might drop, but consistency requires; but as far as this analysis concerned, according to my personal statistics, Pakistan still requires to play heavily, as you have to give worth to your stay on the wicket, because the main thing for me is the momentum, like someone rightly said; on TV pitch seems greener, but under the green belt, it is brown clay soil, so we should keep a proper research and development regarding horticulture (study of clay), because we require proper research, and based on this research, we could understand what kind of players we really required.

Keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow's morning session 🤞🏼

Refer to video below;

This video was off the first session when Bangladesh was batting, but I do completely agree with him, and based on it, I personally feel that tomorrow's morning session requires playing with cool mind, because in the last part of the video, I fear that Pakistani collapse on the card, hope I am proved wrong, because being a Pakistani I want Pakistan to perform well, but still I have to be rational, onus still lies with Bangladesh, that's why Pakistan still on the borderline of red-yellow border or like I say in interstellar language, terminator line, which is a line where Daylight meets Night-time, the thin line between is terminator zone.

This is post-Stumps Day 2 Dhaka test.

Azan's fighting innings

This is why I call stop this خلیفہ گیری that I am always right, personally I have been a victim of it, but the way Azan and Fazal showed how to rotate strike, because I have been following their ball-to-ball cricket, they were rotating the strike on regular interval, this is test match, this format requires regular rotation of strike.

I am really happy that debutants playing so well, Azan Awais nearing his debut century whereas Abdullah Fazal nearing his half century, I just wish both debutants Inshallah score their fates, because these young guns require confidence, especially the way Azan played Nahid Rana, who is coming from Winning Peshawar Zalmi their second PSL trophy, this is why I have been critical on elders polluting original skills and thoughts of younger ones, creating distortions, this is how elders play mind games in Pakistan.

This is highlight to the second day game of the Dhaka test 2026

Yesterday's Bangladesh performance session wise

Pakistan Cricket: Bangladesh v Pakistan Dhaka Test Start of Day 2

2026-05-09T08:49:00.000+05:00

Bangladesh starting Day 2 of the Dhaka test on a High

Today, Pakistan would be started with low (a great depth like Marriana Trench), if Bangladesh touches something near to 450 and 500, I hope and wish Pakistan bowls well and reduce them to something around 350, which is highly unlikely, given circumstances, where except Abbas, everyone else forgot to bowl.

Net Run Rate plummeted but we should remember Mushfiqur Rahim is still on the wicket, and if Pakistan didn't bowl well today, and Bangladesh manages to score something excess 450, then I don't have confidence on Pakistani batters to score something in lead, for instance if Bangladesh scores 450, and surprisingly Pakistan plays well and gets into the lead, for instance hypothetically 450+150 = 600 All Out, only than Pakistan has got some chance, otherwise Pakistan will start with a big negative.

Pakistan Cricket: Bangladesh v Pakistan Dhaka test Day 1 - after watching Day 1 highlights

2026-05-09T00:23:03.187+05:00

Pitch going to get harder from tomorrow

I am watching Caught Behind YouTube channel after I have reached home, and as per Rashid Latif, tomorrow's pitch will be much better than today, today it was more softer, but tomorrow it will get more placid track, because as per RL, test match pitch like that requires 10, 12 days as such pitches are made from clay, and when clay wicket is prepared, water seeps down slowly and hence tomorrow, we will be getting better wicket.

6 No-balls from Nauman

It is ironic, that a left-hand spinner bowling not 1, 2, 3 but instead 6 no-balls.

Expecting 500+ runs from Bangladesh till day end

Hope I am proved wrong, but realistically speaking 500+ score I am assuming Bangladesh would be eying on, because as far as I understand the composition of Clay, today's 90 overs bowled means clay would be setting, and tomorrow's pitch will be continuous bounce.

Bed of roses for Sarfaraz Ahmed❗

2026-05-08T19:39:20.261+05:00

But do we allow him to perform accordingly

This is response to Danyal Rasool's Article in ESPNcricinfo, and I totally disagree with it, whether you resigned recently, have good relations with Test Matches Captain Shan Masood, but this is not easy-peasy for sure.

Fatigued mentality

How is Sarfaraz able to control such mediocracy, where if he imposed something to implement on a particular cricketer, today we saw how Shaheen Shah Afridi's Keyboard Warriors were trolling Ramiz Raja the whole day on X/Twitter when Ramiz "incidentally" called Shaheen Shah Afridi a medium pacer, for which Ramiz was right in calling SSA a medium pacer, because let's be honest, was SSA more effective or Mohammad Abbas?

These GEN-Zs think real cricket is just like
Stick Cricket

How is Sarfaraz Ahmed going to tackle this mentality? Although he lives in the part of Karachi where every single day, he tackles such situation every single day, but still let's be honest (again), our society is such narcissistic who doesn't bring deserving on the spotlight, the narcissistic on social media, who doesn't know anything about Real Cricket, instead they think Playing Stick Cricket, those corporations ruining Pakistani Cricket, because if I recollect steps, they are like Monopoly game, where as soon as you reach a business, you try to purchase that business, so that less friction, as buyer and seller both remains the same, this is how these Corporations work, hiring social media influencers to create a trend and we as Pakistanis are so mediocre in mentality that we forget this thing happened previously, still it is repeating itself.

Stick cricket to real cricket

My personal experiences with the society

In my case too, my own closed ones are showing off their intellectual dishonesty to prove me wrong and at the end of the day, they will always say, if I don't react that they will say that Murtaza accepted this, and if I react, they will deem me disobedience, means I have been going through a dual-sword circumstances, and this is not only limited to myself but it is related to every single individual, and this is the reason why I tell anyone to visit Karachi, observe Karachi society and afterwards give your opinion, because elders today have a nag of controlling, and hence now Karachi society is slowly going from joint family to nuclear family, but due to financial limitations, they have to live in joint family resulting in mental tortures, this is something learnt by GEN-Z, and behaving weird on Karachi roads, because this is same thing they are learning from their elders.

Pakistan Cricket: Bangladesh v Pakistan Dhaka Test Day 1 - Personal Opinion | celebrating mediocracy as big achievement

2026-05-08T16:55:58.725+05:00

Team Selection on Reputations instead of Needs Assessment

Today's Dhaka test day 1- totally dominated by Bangladesh but also exposed how Pakistan Cricket is being ruined, we are also requiring analyzing who is benefitting from this downgrade standards of Pakistan Cricket set by 1990s cricketers.

Management is to be blamed

Management just like head of the family who usually takes decisions on the whole, or like in banking terms, he is the final authorizer, and hence if such blunders are continuously erupting, it clearly mentions the fact that the upper management is more prone to glitter and showmanship, but they actually possess not clear vision.

Implementation of Vision

As none in management, this is my understanding of how it should be implemented;

What is to be achieved❓

Improvement in Pakistan team's performance

How is to be achieved❓

Structural Improvement
Transparency
Domestic Cricket becoming more competitive

Where is to be achieved❓

Domestic cricket
Transparency in selection
Needs assessment i.e., What Player is Required in What Conditions

Because I have noted one thing;

The official PCB Twitter Handler (mentioning X looks inappropriate that's why I am continuing with its former name), celebrating mediocrity that Shaheen Shah Afridi becomes the first Pakistani bowler to take 100 wickets in ICC World Test Championship, this is how much we have downgraded our taste that we are celebrating this level of mediocrity, is this something worth celebrating when Pakistan doesn't benefit from it?

I do understand Players require recognition but recognition at WHAT COST? At the cost of the country? What his 100 WTC wickets have to do with Pakistan❓ Did Pakistan benefit from those 100 WTC wickets❓ Did Pakistan qualify for WTC Finals ever❓ Please requested that such statistics should be backed by how those performance matrix benefit Pakistan, you have option of personal milestones in PSL, CPL, BPL, ILT20, LPL, SAT20; but when you're representing country, such statistics are to be celebrated with Star Emblem on the Chest, although you achieved 100 WTC wickets, but you weren't able to extract bounce on a fresh track, and here your social media team is trolling Ramiz Raja rightly called him Medium Pacer, because when you're representing country, You are seen as Pakistan, keeping in mind, 37 years old Mohammad Abbas bowled much better than him, but wasn't supported by the team.

Team's selection made on the reputation instead of selecting team on what is required from conditions

How is it possible that Shaheen, Naseem, Haris are one-glove-fits-all-situation bowlers for Pakistan❓ Why can't bowlers analyze and develop players❓ Those players also need that recognition instead of spotlights on such mediocre performances.

Pakistan Cricket: Bangladesh v Pakistan Dhaka Test Day 1 - Pakistan won the toss and Bowling

2026-05-08T10:08:45.846+05:00

I am not going to start bash, but as I have been mentioning about mentality, this mentality thing is to be eradicated as I personally feel incorporating young batters, but I have been critical of spoiling young players, as again as our society behaving between elderly and younger generation, megalomaniacally.

Onus

On paper, Pakistan looks bleak compared to Bangladesh, although Pakistan did right on winning the toss and bowl but is chasing our forte? Because although pitch looks juicy, but this is a South Asian surface, and definitely it is deemed to break after day three, so could Pakistan sustain that long?

Pakistan's Venom-less Bowling

Bangladesh's playing eleven

Pakistan's bowling has been without vulture, which means utilizing the conditions, and extracting the conditions are two different things, and hence after getting two early wickets, they have not able to utilize the conditions, as right now when I am viewing scores (as again I am only following the scores) 139/2 in 37 overs, whereas just like Jasprit Bumrah spanked in IPL by Indian youngsters, I will not disregard Shaheen Afridi, but instead his handlers and PCB management, it is high time, PCB should utilize Shaheen Afridi with respect and develop newer bowlers, it was astonishingly for me seeing Mohammad Abbas, how badly we have treated him, is this how we treat our assets i.e., Cricketers, but this is where I would be criticising PCB where several leakage of news from PCB in order to create a controversy, because the same issue, we experienced during initial times of HBL PSL 2026.

This is how "premier" fast bowler bowls?

Babar Azam "sudden" injury

If Babar Azam is necessary for Pakistan Cricket, then BA should take account of his fitness, and the TikTok reels released clearly showed that BA was confused in facing wobbling deliveries, this is the reason why I have been critical of the role of Social Media, PR agencies and those journalists who always support the hype, I have no grudges with Babar Azam, but ethical issues should be given importance for the country, because the same batter scored 588 runs in PSL, but now it seems mysterious how yesterday suddenly in late hours got "injured."

Pakistan already in red-zone whereas Bangladesh in yellow-zone

I am listening to Commentaries from Ali and Furqan Bhatti, slightly disagree with them, instead I am expecting Pakistan "already" in red-zone, keeping in mind, Pakistan has two uncapped players who will bat as early as day 2, I can't see Pakistan taking quick wickets, I wish Pakistan proves me wrong, but right now what I am seeing, I have to write accordingly, someone rightly said, home teams create wickets keeping strengths of visiting teams, and ironically I have to agree with one comment, now cricket fraternity doesn't afraid of Pakistani bowling.

Day-one advantage - Bangladesh

Bangladesh clearly winner of the Day 1 of
Dhaka test

I won't be arrogant, instead realistically speaking that Pakistan cricket is being ruined by Marketers, not cricketers, just see this analysis, game is being played in South Asia, and everyone knows later innings i.e., 3rd innings will definitely decide the fate of the Dhaka test, and for which I am not expecting anything positive from Pakistan, not expecting anything from two debutants, as it would be unfair to them, but rest of the team, like someone rightly said, test match is played from both ends during the sessions, unlike here where except Mohammad Abbas 37 years old playing with more venom, whereas no venom was seen from the 25 years old Premium Fast Bowler Shaheen Afridi wasn't able to bowl with that fierce, which was previously associated with Pakistan cricket, now globally none taking our bowling seriously.

Someone saying...

Bangladesh already scored 200 while I am writing these lines, and still celebrating mediocracy, this is high time, not to create cricket team on Narratives, if required, then also analyze where's that narrative coming from.

Just look above screenshot and this, and
how quickly Bangladesh's are scoring.

Quick runs scored by Bangladesh

It seems pitch will slow down, which means that batting at later sessions in this test match will become more difficult as someone rightly said, don't go on conditions, the soil is still South Asian.

Updates at 3:29 pm Pakistan time

Bangladesh cruising towards 300 scoring mark, and like before Friday prayers I mentioned that pitch is made on South Asian soil and hence wicket will definitely turn hard-to-score as soon as it becomes powderier and dusty, since it is South Asian soil, it is definitely the case that more LBW decisions await for Pakistan, because this team is made on Social Media Hype, not on Cricketing Background, those hypers, who are not asked for more curry on dining table, those are ruling the Social Media, there should be accountability where such hype is originated, because this is Pakistan's cricket we are talking about, and Pakistan's cricket shouldn't be dictated on the basis of social media hype, I am deeply hurt being Pakistani cricket fan, there should be respect, esteem and dignity associated with Pakistan, not the trending kings of Twitter, because this thing should also be taken account where such trends coming from. There should be a systematic mechanism backed.
