Shubman Gill scored 754 runs during India’s five-Test series in England last year. Pakistan’s entire team has managed only 743 runs on their current England tour. That gap is just 11 runs.
The 743 runs came across the first two Tests and the first innings of the third Test. Pakistan are still playing that series. Gill scored his 754 runs in 10 innings across five Tests. Pakistan’s total has come from more innings and three Tests. This difference matters. But fans online have still enjoyed the comparison.
Gill had a brilliant tour of England. He scored four centuries. His best was a huge 269 at Edgbaston. He finished as the leading run-scorer of that series. He also came close to Graham Gooch’s record of 752 runs in a series.
Pakistan have had a tough time with the bat. They failed to cross 200 in any of their first four innings. They lost the first two Tests heavily. In the third Test at Edgbaston, they were bowled out for just 133 in their first innings. Their top order has struggled. Runs have been very hard to find.
The timing of the comparison is awkward for Pakistan. After the heavy defeats, the Pakistan Cricket Board made big changes. They sent seven players home. They also removed the coaching staff and the team is trying to recover. But social media has already turned the situation into a meme.
Michael Atherton Slams Pakistan’s Dispirited Batting and Team Management After 133 All Out
Michael Atherton has criticised Pakistan’s batting performance in the final Test against England. The former England captain said the team looks dispirited and low on confidence. He blamed the team management’s decisions for the situation.
Pakistan were bowled out for just 133 runs in their first innings at Edgbaston. Josh Tongue took four wickets. Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson took three wickets each. Pakistan have not scored 200 runs in any innings of this series. Their highest total was 194.
Pakistan lost their top five batsmen for single digits. The score was once 24 for 5. This was their second-lowest top-five total in a Test innings since 2000. Abdullah Shafique scored just 3 runs off 16 balls. He has struggled against Ollie Robinson throughout the series. Robinson has dismissed him five times in nine innings. Babar Azam has also struggled. He has not reached double figures in the UK. He has been dismissed by Archer, Robinson, and Tongue.
Atherton said the decision to send seven players and two coaches home cannot help build confidence. He said you cannot treat players like that and expect them to perform well. He said the chickens are coming home to roost. He noted that everyone knows the axe will fall if you play badly. But he said this Pakistan team looks dispirited, saying there is a reason for that.
Stuart Broad also commented on the situation. He said Pakistan cricket is operating in a difficult environment. He said players should play with freedom and without fear. But the worst place to be is feeling you need 20 or 30 runs to stay in the team. He said it is impossible to play good cricket when there are so many off-field problems.
