England's attacking cricket "always gives you the opportunity to make errors in them"
Pakistan vice-captain Saud Shakeel echoed his coach Jason Gillespie's remarks about Pakistan's game plan, saying his area were looking to employ England's extreme tactics against them in their three-Test line. England's status for playing high-risk, high-reward cricket under existing coach Brendon McCullum means Pakistan are sniffing an opportunity to draw them into making errors, according to Shakeel.
" England often play attacking cricket, and that always gives you an opportunity to generate errors in them, and to use their faults to stay in the game," Shakeel said at a press conference in Multan.
Shakeel, who was Pakistan's second-highest scoring during their series against England in 2022, said Pakistan may draw motivation from that journey, despite England finally beating the guests 3-0. " The last series we played against England, there were times we were quite close to winning, such as Rawalpindi and Multan, but we could n't finish it off. "
It was in Multan, where the first Check starts Monday, that Pakistan ran England closest next moment, with Shakeel about steering his part home. Getting 355 for success in the third pitches, Pakistan were safely placed at 290 with half the area still to bats, and Shakeel on 94. But two innings from Mark Wood on the injury of meal ended Pakistan's weight, with England finally edging to a 26-run success.
The idea of exploiting England's errors is not simply tale. Most recently, Sri Lanka managed it with comparative success in their three-Test set in England, winning the second Check after inducing England falls in each pitches. Pakistan's ability to execute like a strategy, though, is far from guaranteed, given new challenges with both bat and ball, hard exposed by Bangladesh.
" We're struggling with the pitcher from time to time, and unable to turn goes into great values," Shakeel said. " That's a point of concern. The sequence that's above is now in the past. Obviously we did n't play well there. Our emphasis is on what's back.
" But we do n't follow any particular style playing cricket, we play according to the requirement of any situation, which gives us flexibility. "
New head coach Gillespie has made an effort to define Pakistan's personality, something that fresh head coach Gillespie has attempted to do. He admitted he had no idea what that was until he told ESPNcricinfo in July that he wanted his part to find a cricket style that was "authentic to Pakistan."
He earlier this month stated to the Telegraph that Pakistan may "hang in it, stay being disciplined" and" hit at the correct moments," suggesting that the search for an identity is being put on hold while the search for answers is on the verge of wane.
" The approach is usually decided on the spot depending on how England play," Shakeel said. Slow swing may also be involved in the prepared pitch and the weather. If a team is being hostile, it can be easy to get sucked into their style of play and over-attack. If they're attacking, and we just letting them make their faults, that may work out better for us. "
