Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, is a big New York Jets fan. Hes not too fond
of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatricks facial hair, though.I dont know why Fitzpatrick
cant shave, honestly, David said Tuesday to guest host Charissa Thompson on The
Dan Patrick Show. Why does he need that beard? That beard really bothers me. I
dont know what this quarterback looks like. Who am I rooting for? Imagine Mickey
Mantle with a full beard like that. It would have changed my entire
childhood.Fitzpatrick usually sports a bushy, mountain man-like beard during the
season, but its a bit toned down right now midway through training camp. He did
show up Tuesday with his mustache shaved, and the quarterback didnt sack Davids
idea.Well, Ive heard that hes a big Jet fan, a smiling Fitzpatrick said after
practice. But Im probably a bigger `Seinfeld fan, so I dont take that lightly. I
will take it into consideration, Larry. And I respect you very much.David also
might be coming for Chan Gaileys job -- or anyone else who runs an NFL
offense.Im not joking. Im positive I could be an offensive coordinator, he said.
All I have to do is, I think if I just studied, if I just hung around and just
learned a little bit ... give me one season shadowing an offensive coordinator,
one season, and I know I could do it.What can be so hard about it? You make up
plays. Why is that so hard? Im creative in certain respects, and I think I can
do that.Yadda, yadda, yadda.Fitzpatrick was asked what he thinks of the chances
of David being a successful NFL offensive coordinator.Pretty, pretty good,
Fitzpatrick said, mimicking a popular line from Curb Your Enthusiasm.---AP NFL

"Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us
last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel. Misbah-ul-Haq is unavailable for
this match. What do you lose when a player like that goes? You lose a massive
amount. You dont only lose a player that averages in the high forties and gets
runs at No. 5 for you. When you lose your leader, it becomes really tough. But
you have to put a positive spin on it. Its a real opportunity for one of the
other young players to step up. In terms of leadership we will have it covered
within the team, but Misbahs been an unbelievable captain for Pakistan for such
a long time that to replace him is very, very difficult.What are your thoughts
about a possible replacement? Weve got two options. Mohammad Rizwan can slot
into the middle order - hes travelled around with us for a long time. Hes
trained with us. He went through the England series. We sent him back to play
some domestic cricket and he responded by getting 167 and a 95. Thats one
option. Or we can have a look at Sharjeel Khan. If we use Sharjeel at the top of
the order, that makes quite a few changes.Are you hesitant to do that, with the
openers bedded in recently, and Azhar Ali making runs? That becomes an issue
because Azhar might have to go back down to three, and Babar Azam - our young
gun, who I think is going to play for Pakistan for a long time and do really
well - slides down to six, and Asad Shafiq might have to go back up. Its a lot
of disruptions to our batting order. Weve just got to have a look at the pitch
and decide what we think is the best combination.What we do know is Sharjeel
brings an ability to take the game away from the opposition in one session. He
does that. He reminds me of a young David Warner when he came into the Australia
side. If we can get Sharjeels defensive game to where it needs to be, it could
be very exciting for us, because he can be very destructive at the top of the
order. Thats something exciting - theres a bit of romance there, if you like.
Then you have Rizwan, who has wholehearted grit and determination. Hes a very,
very good player.If Sharjeels defence has a little way to go, will conditions
determine your decision? I think so. His defence is good - and Ive told him this
- but for him to become a Test batsman, we just need to keep working on the
defensive side of his game. Hes got a very good attacking side.Youve got that
settled middle order, but is your top three something that still needs work? To
a point. I think Samis done really well. Hes showed a real maturity. Azhars done
exceptionally well whenever hes had a go at the top of the order - hes a quality
player. The dilemma for us in the last Test was whether Asad Shafiq stayed at
three or we moved Babar in at three. One of them was going to bat three and one
was going to bat six. We went to Asad at six because that was the sort of stable
batting order for a long period of time. I think Babar has the capability to bat
No. 3. Thats where he bats for his local team and in one-day cricket. There is
no problem with Babar. Technically hes all good.You left out Wahab Riaz on a
green pitch in the last match, which suggests you are picking attacks based on
the pitch… The dilemma we had in the last Test - and this could go a long way to
stopping all the questions Im getting from Pakistan - was that we preferred
Rahat Ali in the Test because of the pitch conditions. We wanted seam bowlers
and swingers of the ball, rather than a guy who can bowl really quick. We
thought thats what the wicket determined, and were proved right in that
regard.The other option we had was whether we played all four seamers and left
Yasir out. The thing with that for me - and Ive seen it over such a long period
of time - is that a quality spin bowler like Yasir can attack and defend for
you. Had the game gone into day five, I think spin would have played a big role.
So often you select for the first innings, because you see the pitch is green.
Im of the opinion that if three quick bowlers wont do it, then neither will
four. Id rather have someone who can change the tempo and pace - give us a
variation as youu go later in the game - to take the second-innings wickets as
well.ddddddddddddYou know, were very lucky with our bowling unit that we can
pick a horses-for-courses team. If the balls going to reverse, and the wicket
has pace and bounce, Wahab is our No. 1 choice. Well pick our attack and put our
options together as to what will get us 20 wickets.Wahab did well in Pakistans
last Test in Hamilton. Does that make him more likely to play here? Its more
likely that the balls going to reverse-swing here. The pitch was green today,
which we dont really mind, because we do have an attack that can really exploit
that. Wahab is an option for us. Is the horses-for-courses philosophy something
you will stick with through your southern-hemisphere tours? Yes, because Wahab,
in Australia - particularly at the Gabba - becomes weapon No. 1, given his pace
and ability to get reverse swing. He is a phenomenal bowler, because he provides
us both options. Weve just got to use him when the conditions are right. Then he
becomes our trump card.Mohammad Amirs made a good return to cricket, but we
havent yet seen him get those big hauls yet. What does he have to improve to do
that? Hes been very good since hes come back. Hes had a lot of dropped catches -
particularly in England. But hes bowling well and hes getting better. Every time
I see him bowl, I see pace coming back and I see confidence coming back. Hes
starting to swing the ball again. Hes got his confidence to bowl his bouncer. Im
hoping he hits his stride soon and gets rewards for all the work hes put in.Have
you seen him change mentally in the time youve been involved? Yes, that
confidence is there because hes now being judged just as a cricketer again. Hes
a wonderful bowler and a wonderful feller - hes really a good bloke. His work
ethic is second to none.Despite the horses-for-courses outlook, is he someone
that will be considered on any kind of pitch? Yeah he is, because he swings the
ball at good pace. But again, our bowlers know that theres no comfort zone for
anybody. They know that at any given time, weve got another four bowlers that
can do the job. So its great. Theres a nice little bit of internal competition
going on, though they are a tight unit.If you do well over the next four Tests,
you do have a chance to push for that No. 1 ranking. How much does that motivate
the side? Its a massive thing for Pakistan. To get to No. 1 after our England
series was amazing - they havent played at home for so long. The players have
spoken about their desire to get that No. 1 tag back and the motivation is as
big as its ever been. But were under no illusions. Its going to be tough. New
Zealand played unbelievably well in the last match and were really disciplined.
They are a tough team and well have to play very well to beat them.Then we go to
Australia, who are regrouping, but in their home conditions, are going to be
very strong. Theres quality there. Were playing Test matches away from home in
very tough conditions, but there is a desire to get there.The teams pushing for
that top spot are all flawed in some way. Where do you think Pakistan has most
room for improvement? We just want to keep getting better and better outside
subcontinent conditions. Were going to be challenged down here with the short
ball and the pace of the wicket. I know, because Ive coached against
subcontinent teams when I was with South Africa and Australia. When a
subcontinent team arrives, youre going to bounce them. Youre going to come hard
at them for all the times that you got nailed by spin in the subcontinent. Thats
whats going to happen to us. Weve got to be up for that challenge. Weve got to
work on our play against the short ball - weve got to work out how to score and
defend off it. But our players can do that because they are quality players. Im
trying not to make a massive issue of it, because theyre all good enough.
