Only 3 batsmen average above 40, Misbah, Chase and Holder. Considering that 6 of the first seven Pakistanis average above 40 in test cricket, they are below par in the series so far.

Batting averages so far
In reply to Baje
Misbah not averaging 50 plus? I would have thought so.
In reply to Scar
He averaging 100+ in this series, 47 overall, Younis averages 52 overall and less than 20 in this series.
In reply to Baje
Pakistan will be seriously weakened further after this series.
I don't see any player right now, who is ready to fill the void that will be left with Younis and Misbah retiring!
In reply to thefacts
Yeah, if those two had timed their retirement properly, we might have won the series by now.
In reply to Baje... definitely be 1-0 in our favour.
In reply to Baje
Been saying this for a long time...and this applies to most test-playing nations.
Windies caught Pakistan on an off day and won the match.
In reply to SirGarny
Maybe other countries have players with higher averages because they actually play on decent wickets. Hughes for example is a good county player but a poor PCL player. Some of the wickets this year were atrocious.
In reply to thefacts
I think they'll ask Younis to stay on, considering it's Pakistan, I wouldn't rule out Salman Butt or Mohammed Hafeez returning to the test side.
In reply to Baje
He needs to play on "old" pitches. Situations like these (the Barbados pitch) is bound to come up. Can you imagine him touring say India? Says he is limited as a player
In reply to WICFan
Yes, also Shoaib Mallik
I won't be surprised if both Mohd Hafeez & Shoaib Mallik make a comeback to the Pakistan team.
Also, this Pakistan team is lacking that 5th bowling option, something that Hafeez was giving them all through....
Maybe its time for Imad Wasim to play test cricket!
In reply to InHindsight
Touring teams protest West Indies pitches a lot...
The Windies pitch curator should be fired.
Return Mecca prep to Bimsters...
From git go Mecca gift world unbroken roll of titans...Challenor, W's, GOAT, Seymour ,Conrad, GG, Hall, Charlie, Macco, Big Bird.. list endless.
Wrong geezer paws pon Mecca strip..
In reply to Baje
If two teams are playing on the same bad wicket and one team bats considerably better than the other, one must conclude that the batsmen's collective application was much better than that of their vanquished opponents'.
Now in fairness, there seems to be a problem with the quality of wickets in the region. I wonder if there is a true batting pitch with even bounce anywhere in the Caribbean. Used to be Sabina Park and Kensington Oval...
Not any more!
In reply to thefacts
Dem two not going anywhere
How many times did Afriddi retire?
In reply to SirGarny
Only true if the bowling is equal
Is it?
In reply to che
Isn't it the dude from Empire preparing the Oval now?
In reply to Baje
Let's look at the stats a little closer...who are the batsmen averaging over 26, for example?
1) Misbah (Pak) 105
2) Chase (WI) 77
3) Holder (WI) 43
4) Azhar (Pak) 32
5) Powell (WI) 31
6) Shehzad (Pak) 30
7) Sarfraz (Pak) 28
Babar (Pak) 27
The elephant in the room is those passengers who are averaging less than 26, and are not mentioned above...Hope, Dowrich, Younis, Kragg, Hetmyer, Singh, Shafiq.

WTF!!get wid dis sheeet ...vor prolly kno skinny
Hes heavily involved in the Caribbean domestic season and the West Indies home series, for all of hes been working to help prepare the best pitches and grounds possible.
geezer hustle aint wukkin..time fi pink slip
Like the NZ say you have to know the soil type to produce a good wicket. More so if that same pitch is being greatly overused. Other countries have nuff cricket parks to avoid overuse I would guess.
In reply to che
Kent is not around when the pitches are being prepared, he goes around the region to speak to groundmen.
Hope you notice I did not called them curators.
In reply to openning
u seh he
Bim pitch bad, Yard pitch wuss, Tit pitch wusserer...
