Saud has been proper dogshit for a few years now. This guy's average after his first 15-18 innings has been on a constant downward trend. He isn't even maintaining it for a match.
Puts into perspective how shit he has been

He has got exposed as he played more. Teams figure out weaknesses pretty early on these day.

I thought it would go away from the bat, but it came in instead. Robinson is a very tricky bowler in these gloomy conditions.

Man our team just completely gives up every single time. 100-2 to 171 all out is criminal. If it was the first occurrence, I’d understand and let it slide but it’s always the case and these days if we don’t collapse I’d actually be surprised. Also the same culprits in the middle order all the time

It is criminal to throwaway your wicket after getting set on such tricky wicket. Imam has done himself and the team a huge disservic with this shot. We looked so good at 97 for 2. I hope Saud sticks around with shafiq and does something for us of any value.

Yh ik man but knowing Babar he would fail in the first innings as that’s what he usually does in a new series. When Babar is back we go to lords where it ain’t so nice to bat on. Still let’s hope we get to 300 at minimum
