Former Multan Sultans owner Ali Tareen has taken a sarcastic dig at the Pakistan national cricket team, claiming that Babar Azam's side is now “too bad for fixing allegations.” Tareen's comments came after another disappointing batting display by Pakistan in the ongoing three-match Test series in England.
Pakistan were bowled out for just 110 in the first innings of the second Test at Lord's. Their batters struggled to handle England's bowling attack and failed to build any significant partnerships. England reached 177/7 despite several rain interruptions on Day 3 (Saturday) and extended their lead to 357 runs.
Ali Tareen responded to the Multan Sultans owner, who recalled an earlier period when Pakistan's strong cricketing performances made supporters believe that unexpected defeats could only happen because of deliberate underperformance.
Multan Sultans owner wrote: "I remember a time where our cricket used to be so strong that fans would think the only reason we lost was because players purposely underperformed for some extra ?? #takemeback" - @goharshah95
Tareen replied: "The only good thing about our team is they are too bad for any fixing allegations. #silverlining"

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Abbas gave the visitors some hope with the ball. Persistent rain washed out the entire morning session before England resumed their second innings at 81 for three after lunch.
Abbas struck early by dismissing Emilio Gay for 31, beating the left-hander with a delivery that stayed low. He then broke a 45-run fifth-wicket partnership between Harry Brook and Dan Lawrence. Brook was caught behind for 34 runs in the second innings.
Abbas later removed Jamie Smith for seven to claim his third wicket of the innings. He finished the day with three wickets for 48 runs from 18 overs, while Khurram Shahzad and Mohammad Ali took two wickets each.
England reached 177 for seven before bad light ended play early. Lawrence remained unbeaten on 50, while Ollie Robinson was not out on two. Only 2.2 overs were possible in the final session, with Mohammad Ali dismissing Gus Atkinson for seven.
Babar Azam Struggles as Pakistan Collapse Again
Pakistan's batting remains their biggest concern in the second Test. England posted 290 in their first innings before Pakistan were bowled out for just 110 in 37.2 overs. Azan Awais top-scored with 46, while Ollie Robinson produced outstanding figures of four for 11.
Babar Azam returned to the playing XI after missing the first Test with a finger injury, but he could not make a significant contribution. Pakistan's middle order has failed to provide enough resistance against England's bowlers.
England lead the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first Test at Headingley by an innings and 103 runs. Pakistan were dismissed for 171 and 135 in that match, while England posted 409. Josh Tongue and Ollie Robinson took eight wickets each across the two innings as Pakistan suffered a defeat.
