There was so much time to plan for this Test. It seems coach spent all his time on vacation, rather than working on gameplan.
Bottom line, it is not player's fault. It is fault of team management/selectors, head coach and BCB.

Exuse me brother, disagree about these 2 points. Bad umpiring never really killed us apart from a couple of ocassions. In tests we lose by mammoth margins, and even if the decision goes in our favour we would still lose comprehensively. I have seen Pakistan suffer from a lot of bad decisions yet their fans don't seem to cry all the time. BTW, DRS is quite expensive, so its not going to happen until and unless board members stop wasting the money on bringing food from KFC everyday
And as for the seam friendly thing. Don't you think its about time we start to play more on sporty pitches. If we are going to get rolled over mediocre pacers like Lakmal and Eranga, on these harmless pitches, how are we going to face MJ, Steyn, Anderson, etc. The blame is on our players only.
