With all due respect, Shoaib Malik has performed admirably at number three position during last year. In order to utilize death overs, we have Afridi- Razzaq combo and we dont really need any. Younis can keep the middle overs strong. The problem that most of our middle order was out of form disturbed us really badly.

And that is exactly what Imran was indicating towards, in his analysis. When it mattered the most, you force someone with less experience in front of you, and effectively, such a blind strategy has, not only granted Malik access to all the proper shots in the book with his well-deserved scores throughout, but it all three of our main batsmen were left lying on the ground, wounded. The only impact was made in the final ODI, and even that was quickly tarnished with the help of the likes of Sami in the team.
