Oh dear here we go again. Been at work all day, avoiding the score. What a let down. T20 has a lot to answe.
We should pick a test squad and bar them from limited over cricket.

I heard Joss Butler's selection being heralded as fantastic, and that he was just what we needed in the team, allowing Bairstow to bat higher up the order. What the team needs are batsmen who know and are adept at both sides of the game, attack and defence, and who are able to judge when to play either. Once again, too many batsmen giving their wickets away.
I echo your comment about T20!

So, Pakistan's young and inexperienced team show our batsmen how to play test match cricket. It really is time for a root and branch look at the state of cricket in our country - introducing the "100 Ball Game" certainly isn't the answer!

I honestly think the players of today know that test cricket is not going to line their pockets for much longer.
As they are the 'best we have' they play out there duty but not with much heart.
They know one day cricket is the way forward.

Good start for Afghanistan in test cricket. You gotta start somewhere!
