Dennis Does A Considered Player Rating From The First Test:

Shan - 8

Is there a greater joy than to see a proper opener leave the ball like he does? Made 150. What else do you bastards want from him? Just make him captain so we can all move forward....
...Also, he speaks English properly which is a major consideration for most of the Pakistani fans.

Abid - 3

Plays too far away from his body for my liking. Replace him with the Horse, who has more attacking shots. You can’t Have Shan, Abid and Azhar as your top three...
...At least one needs to be a stroke player and a great user of Tinder.

Azhar - 2

I'm old enough to remember when he averaged 50 in Test cricket. Now he's at 42. Probably the most out of form number 3 in world cricket today....
...If his captaincy strategy was to leak runs through point and mid wicket in that 4th dig, then he succeeded brilliantly.

Babar - 6

Yes. He celebrated nailing a 50. But the only people who should celebrate nailing a 50 are 60 year old men. Needed more from him in the 2nd dig
Shafiq - 3

I wanted him to make me Ahappy. But he left me Asad. Time to swap him for Fawad Alam so I can put my energies into a new cause.

Rizwan - 8

Is there a cleaner gloveman in world cricket right now? Stunning skills on display. Well played young man....
....If you want to stop COVID19 from spreading, put Rizwan in front of it. He can stop everything. Made Buttler look like a worse version of Kamran Akmal.

Shadab - 5

Might sound harsh, but just as he and Shan had England on the ropes in the first innings, he went all PSL .....
....and got himself out. This is Test cricket. Your job is to not do stupid shit like that. That probably cost Pakistan an extra 30 -70 runs and therefore the match. Bowled ok, but he doesn’t turn his legspinner. But neither did Kumble, but he had a googly and bounce. ...
....Shadab doesn’t. Fielded well, his beard trimming was excellent and he smiled a lot.

Yasir - 8

Bowler his heart out. But like Nathan Lyon, can he please stop bowling from around the wicket. It is pointless. His wife's heart medication appeared to be working just fine.
Abbas - 7

Bowled like a champ and stopped the runs leaking. Pearler to get Stokes but needed to have impact on the last day and couldn't. Misbah will probably drop him for Imran Khan.

Shaheen Afridi - 5

Wants to be Mitch Starc but isn't...yet.....
....Only bowled one yorker for the match and was too wide against the right handers.

Essentially, he is Pakistan’s James Anderson. Lacked aggression. Lacked impact. But looks good.

Naseem - 5

Bowled fast at times but like Afridi, couldn't get the job done....
....Needs to focus more on ball placement rather than just pure speed else he will end up mediocre like Brett Lee with a Test bowling average over 30

Misbahahahahaha - 7

Picked two leggies which should have been genius. Needs to make some tough calls for the 2nd Test but won't
Sarfraz - 10

Took on the drinks duties and nailed it. Didn't spill a drop nor did he complain. Guys like Shoaib Akhtar who made an issue about it could learn some grace from this legend.
Wasim Akram – 0
