'Tumhe Aata he Nahi Hai...': Pakistan Cricketer Mocks Shan Masood And Co, Praises Bangladesh For Dominant Show
Pakistan players are copping severe criticism from their
current and former players following a humiliating defeat at home to
Bangladesh. For the first time in their history, Pakistan have lost a Test
series to Bangladesh with the tourists dominating them with the bat and the
ball. The 0-2 defeat will rankle Pakistan for some time to come given they lost
both the Tests despite being in control of the games at different stages
The likes of Javed Miandad, Inzamam-ul-Haq have questioned
the quality of Pakistan batters while Ahmed Shehzad poked fun at the players
and said Bangladesh showed the hosts what it takes to play Test cricket
“Bangladesh whitewashed Pakistan in their own backyard,”
Shehzad said in a video on his YouTube channel. “You guys just cannot compete.
The situation in Bangladesh wasn’t ideal (political unrest and violence) and
the team even trained for the series in Pakistan. They dominated throughout be
it their batting or bowling. They taught Pakistan the grit that’s needed to
play Test cricket. Their bowlers taught Pakistan what discipline is.”
Shehzad said on a pitch where Pakistan batters struggled for
runs, Bangladesh made it appear a flat track. “We were focusing on the pitch.
On the same track when Bangladesh were batting it appeared flat but our batters
were struggling,” he said.
“I am sure this win will be motivating for the Bangladesh
fans given what’s happening in their country. Bangladesh players did what they
could for their own country and fans,” he added.
With this performance, Bangladesh have jumped to the fourth
spot on the ICC World Test Championship points table while Pakistan have
slipped to the 9th spot.
Shehzad also expressed his concern over how Pakistan batters
failed to deal with pace and movement. “If you can’t handle a bit of pace and
movement even at home then the future is not very bright for us,” he said.
As per reports, Pakistan Test coach Jason Gillispie and his
white-ball counterpart Gary Kirsten have advised the Pakistan Cricket Board
(PCB) and selectors to not press the panic button as it will further dent the
confidence of the players.
