Re: 1st Test : India v Pakistan - Delhi - Nov 22-26
Pakistan are atleast lacking one more quality batsman. We are essentially a 225-250 team which is simply not good enough in tests. Even Razzaq (he can't bowl any worse than Sami) instead of Sami would have been a handful here. I know India struggled as well in the first innings but their batting generally clicks in tests. The way we have batted against India, we might need Inzi's services against Australia. Tests against Australia might finish inside 3 days. On our last tour in 2004 none of the tests went into a 5th day!
and if we are lacking one quality batsman, then we must have a quality bowler in place of players like Sami. I remember during the days of 2 W's, our bowling use to compensate for our batting nightmares. We MUST have a bowling attack featuring Shoaib, Asif, Gul, if we want to challenge a quality opposition.
