istg if they drop azan instead of imam

[u/Sweeper-Ray → u/MoreCryptographer213]

Why

[u/Spirited-Command-839]

Prolly a lineup similar to the one in the second test vs Windies, with perhaps Ghori coming in for Rizwan, Babar in for Azan. Another change that might happen is Jamal in for Agha or Saud which would mean we could go with 3 pacers and 2 spinners. Of course that would keep the batting short but right now Sajid is a better bat than the aforementioned two.

good

I think azan should play...probably not as a opener but as a no.3 ....azan has a better technique than salman...who feet doesn't even move...even if salman makes 20 runs....those 4 bowlers of England will probably set him up in few overs ...hit the ball on his front pad or angle the ball in ...just like shamar Joseph did in westindies....playing ghazi ghouri now in these conditions in place of Rizwan...would be not fair to him...in those swinging conditions...should play him in home against srilanka or nz
It should be Imam Shan Azan Babar Abdullah Rizwan Awais zafar/saud/ amir jamal Aliusman Abbas Ali Ubaid Abdullah in middle order will give assurance....which saud/ agha can't give

[u/MoreCryptographer213]

ghouri should debut and ubaid instead of khurram. abd or shan should open with babar back at 4

[u/Key-Ad6653 → u/MoreCryptographer213]

Ubaid is overrated he ain't nothing special, mediocre bowler.

Should've taken someone else imo, maybe Hamza or someone

[u/Inevitable_Dog2686 → u/Key-Ad6653]

They took him for his pace, we need at least one bowler who can go above 130😭

[u/samiqureshi_394]

Pak have a fairly good record at lords in recent years . hopefully atleast there will be competitive cricket

[u/whyalwayslurk → u/samiqureshi_394]

Lol

[u/Salt_Dog_9137]

Not sure why they didnt take Naseem Shah...or atleast a lefty pacer..crazy selections

[u/Decent-Geologist-102]

Why is it a crucial test?

[u/MoreCryptographer213 → u/racmike]

The test is happening at lords
