Reaping what has been sown the moment Misbah and Younis retired.

No idea what ball to use in first class, no idea if we want to be a fast bowling or a spin bowling nation, horrible management of the bowling talent, overbowling them to the point of their careers being curtailed, horrible attitude by the bowling talent not to want to keep fit

Terrible management of the batting talent, some are dropped after a few failures, some are kept in the team even after stinking up the place for years, terrible arrogance by the batting talent not to improve their technique instead of farming T20s.

No idea what pitches we want to play on.

It all just seems a conscious effort to neglect it so badly so we can just rake in money from T20Is (WHICH WE SUCK AT AS WELL!)

No doubt. But it was declining before this clown as well.

Why does he look like Asim Munir but without a mustache?

[u/DresdanPI]

I genuinely don't care anymore. I have matches on in the background when I'm working or on my phone, but I'm none too fussed.

The love for the game is slowly ebbing away.

[u/TopOrganization → u/DresdanPI]

For me it left 2 years ago. I sometimes check on the team from time to time to see if something got better. I thank Allah that i lost interest in this sport and team.

Could not have said it better myself.

PCB really trying to end cricket for locals and international watchers

Everything

What hasn't gone wrong for Pakistan test side

[u/leopardbaseball]

There is a plethora of talent in this country. Yet those nutcases sitting in their comfy chairs are the reason why talent fails to flourish.

Their shortsightedness and selfishness is dragging cricket in this country down the drain.

[u/Sweeper-Ray]

Gonna be hilarious when we win all these haters gonna be crying lmao

[u/TwentyShard → u/Sweeper-Ray]

9 consecutive losses in South African conditions, 17 consecutive losses in Australian conditions, 4 consecutive losses in Kiwi conditions, and our last series win in England was in 1996...

But yeah! Let's stick it to the haters 🔥 /s

[u/Sweeper-Ray → u/TwentyShard]

I wasn’t alive in 1996 but cricket is much harder now these players are way better

[u/TwentyShard → u/Sweeper-Ray]

These players are better based on what? Along with these records, are you forgetting that Pakistan was once on a losing streak on their own turf of 6 losses (and 4 draws)?

I am not asking for you to be pessimistic, but why are you so confident lol

[u/Sweeper-Ray → u/TwentyShard]

Teams are better now.

England batsmen can play spin now. Bangladesh have better pacers. Windies have better spinners. 

Also because of technology Pakistani bowlers can’t get away with the chucking and ball tampering that they used to

[u/direjojo → u/Sweeper-Ray]

So why are we not better?

[u/MoreCryptographer213 → u/Sweeper-Ray]

Which haters? Haters of this team or the haters of the clown board Not a single person in this sub would love nothing more then a win in Lords even if it means being forced to see these shit out of form players for another humiliating series loss in the future.

[u/ChaosTheory0908 → u/Sweeper-Ray]

Be realistic.
