Why can't Pakistanis bat?

[Faisal]

Pakistan have been playing international cricket for 60 years or so but why can't they do the basics in batting?

anyone know why they that shit and even banglas and zimbers can bat better?

[Shakespeare]

simple.. those who can bat and lead from the front (younis, yousuf) are sitting at home knitting sweaters for winter ..

this shit happens when you don't give the due respect to people who deserve it.

i dont understand i mean one time this country produced probably better batsmen than bowlers before the 1990's:

Zaheer
Javed
Majid
Muddasser
SHoaib Mohammad
Hanif Mohammad
Saleem Malik
Asif Iqbal

etc

and now we have fuck all.

[Maulana Diesal]

you forget, anwar and inzi.

reason be alot of LOI cricket, nothing to do with yousaf and younis, they can fuck off.

The seaming ball we simply cant do anything, batsman either edge to slips or just miss it and get lbw, problem is with there techniques and they need to learn to be selective in what shots to play as well.

I can never forget them especially inzy but I was naming batsman before 1990 really.

I agree with you regarding younis and yousuf. I mean they may be the best 2 batsmen at the moment in Pakistan but that should be no excuse why rest in Pak can't bat or coming through. I mean yousuf n younis can't play for Pak for ever and can also get injured but does that mean Pak batting comes to a standstill? I mean Pakistan has been in international test cricket for 50 odd years and should be producing decent batsmen who can at least compete. Seems there's no proper coaching or what at grass roots.
The flamin bangalis, lankans and zinmbers producing much better batsmen like growing on trees yet these countries are complete babies in terms of playing international cricket.

That's true as well. I mean ramiz made a good point in commentary that Pakistan in there 45 tests or so in England have only made a 100 opening stance only twice,
