Australia vs Pakistan 2016/17: 3rd Test - 5 talking points

#3 Yasir Shah loses quite a bit of sheen

Not a tour to remember for Yasir Shah

Yasir Shah, the veteran leggie, was a vital cog in Pakistan's Test wheel of late. He earned rave reviews from the likes of Shane Warne and was expected to bamboozle Aussie batsmen, who are deemed as poor players of spin.

But the leggie faltered big time, bowling flat and without any rhythm; least helped by some thoughtless field placements from his captain, Misbah-ul-Haq. Warner, Renshaw and Handscomb took full toll of his lacklustre bowling.

The wrist spinner was smacked for 167 in his 40 overs in the first innings and if that wasn't poor enough in a Test match, his second yielded 124 in 14 overs. Pakistan would be pondering about his future pretty soon.
