I guess, like me, you all had to endure the shock of Saud Shakeel walking straight into a trap that England literally announced on a loudspeaker. It sums up everything broken about Pakistan's cricket nowadays.
Cruising on 97 and closing in on a century, he decided to keep blindly clearing the ropes along the exact same path he’d been using since his score was in the mid-80s. Can you believe it?!
England didn't just set a trap; they built a billboard, posted a catcher three meters inside the boundary, and waited. Saud Shakeel walked right off the cliff.
That dismissal, I guess, is the best single-frame pictorization of the present struggle of Pakistani cricket: 'endless talent ruined by zero situational discipline.' It seemed as if the batters were reluctant to walk the extra mile, apply some sense, and play the anchor role because they are already exhausted just dragging the agony of being in this batting lineup.
May Allah grant us some basic match awareness, Ameen.
