However, their poor opening performance in just 14.3 overs, thanks to Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq, made matters worse.<\/p>\n<p>Due to Imam\u2019s inconsistent batting, fans have voiced their opinions and demanded that Saim Ayub be added to the playing XI for the final Test after a disastrous performance in Melbourne, where he scored 10 and 12 runs in two innings, respectively. Imam has been under intense scrutiny for a considerable amount of time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It\u2019s time now Saim Ayub should be given opportunity to play in Sydney in place of Imam.
