Pakistan lost much more than the series after the defeat at the Multan Test.
Pakistani cricket fans are in severe disappointment, shock and rage after the loss of Multan Test match in just three days and three hours, which means that Pakistan has also lost the three matches series against the England’s team.However, very few people know that now Pakistani team’s chances of playing the World Test Championship (WTC) final in 2023 has also been completely lost.
Pakistani team basically lost the Multan Test match due to its inept and amateurish batting, which can be gauged by the fact that we batted 48.3 overs or 291 balls longer than our opponents and still were behind only 26 runs. This means that even if we had scored just one extra run after every 11 balls, this match would have been comfortably won, as we stood much more idle time in the crease than the England’s team.
The above analysis proves that firstly, there was wrong selection of players, secondly, extremely poor team management and worst leadership capabilities displayed by the captain, for which the buck stops at the top i.e., the chairman of the PCB who must now resign (without waiting for the completion of the series) in a graceful manner, to set an example of poise and dignity.
