Bond out of the test series

That’s one good news and the second one should come tomorrow night at the toss when we hear that Farhat has been dropped from the side. It was like New Zealand played with 12 players and Pak with 10 because Farhat was helping them and dropped 4 catches total in that first test. Yet Yousuf continued to keep him in the slips. I think now Misbah should take his place in the slips and to accomodate Misbah, I think they should drop Farhat, open with Fawad Alam/Salman Butt or drop Shoaib Malik for Misbah and Butt for Farhat. All the openers sucks so its not that we are getting better with Butt. But I guess at least Butt is not the damad.

No man - Butt is lousy but he has limited improved potential to score something as opener. I mean lesser of evils under the given circumstances.

So 2 changes should be a given - Butt for Farhat and Mazoor or Alam for Misbah.
3rd change could be Faisal for Malik. Why not try bhanja for Malik - see if he has something to offer…they are both a toss up.
