Fawad Alam’s criticism is unnecessary

Fawad Alam had to face the criticism of the fans after contributing next to nothing in Pakistan’s last two Tests, against Australia. He did not have to do anything in the Rawalpindi Test as Pakistan lost just four wickets across their two innings.

Even when they had the opportunity to bowl at their opponents, Alam’s slow orthodox spin was not utilized. Subsequently, he was the victim of some form of criticism after the game.

The outrage escalated over after the end of the second Test when people started dissecting the game. He was out on a golden duck in the first innings and managed to play only 10 balls in the second as Pakistan attempted to save the Test.

His dismissals in both the innings underlined a few flaws in his technique that, have been known to everybody for quite a while.

While the rest of the team put up a resolute rearguard, Fawad’s poor performance ignited anger amongst fans. Some even called him out for his technique and the manner in which he took guard while facing Pat Cummins in the second innings.
