@Faisal

Based on available resources, we have a fine team right now.

After the performances in 2nd test, realistically there are only two places where Bubloo and Golo (Bob and Inzi) can do some musical chairs… The swaps may only be limited to Taufeeq and Khalil. In their place, you may have Butt/Yasir and Rana sahab. None of these changes, except may be Yasir, will produce any marked changes anyway. Yasir may have the best potential, but being out of side for so long, and likely sword hanging over his head, he will be way too nervous and cautious to do much good.

Once again, our batting will revolve around Yoyo, Inzi and Asim. Younis is kinda hit-or-miss. When he plays well, he plays well. But the way he gets out really leaves a bad taste in the mouth and make him look like an ordinary player. Our bowling, once again will rely on Kaneria. With Sami blowing hot and cold depending on how much ***daant ***he has gotten from Bubloo on any particular morning.

Faisal Bhai here is my take on this issue. Main problem with pakistan in this series has been the ability to get Indians out twice in 5 days. Mediocre fast bowlers like Naved and Khalil were totally ineffective hence I have issues with playing any of them. If taking the shine of new Ball is the reason then Sami and Razzaq can do that too plus Razzaq can contribute well with bat. They should bring in Arshad Khan in place of Khalil.It will also add variety to bowling attack in the sense is that He is an Off spinner unlike Afridi & Danish who are leggies. Now people will have question that why play 3 spinners. But I think we will only have 2.5 have spinner in reallity. Afridi is a good spinner for onedayers but what I notice in last test match that he has a tendency of bowling 1-2 loose bowl per over and this really takes the pressue away. If you want Kaneria to be successfull you need some really accurate containing bowling from otherside.
Talking of batting, I think it is time to drop Taufeeq. He really has problem with fishing. They should bring back either Salman or Yasir. Based on previous records there is not much to chose between 2 but I will prefer Salman because I think they guy has more talented and he can compliment Afridi very well. Also He is in my Fantasy Team.
So here is my team

Afirdi
Salman
Younis
Inzi
Yoyo
Asim
Razzaq
Kamal
Sami
Arshad
Danis
