Australia and Pakistan tour of UAE 2009

Re: Australia and Pakistan tour of UAE 2009

Viagra aside, there is no better test match bowler in the country right now. I can see your point about ODI's, but if it's pure wicket-taking ability we are talking about, a fat washed-up Akhtar would still be better than a 20 year old, fit-as-a-horse-but-ordinary-as-hell Rao. Why are we content with mediocrity so much now? Where are the genuine pace bowlers, the big hitters, the elegant strokemakers? Our cricket is going in this "we are disciplined, we bowl line and length" direction, which frankly I do not care for.
