Bowling Strategy for Pakistan in Super 8 matches

Obviously the most important thing is to qualify. As usual we are at the mercy of other teams and their results (nothing new). Lets hope we qualify, Inshallah and then needs to revist our bowling strategy.

1- Asif needs to come and Sami needs to go.
2- Asif should finish his four overs in the begining. They should not think of using him towards the end. He is simply not a death bowler.
3- Razzaq, Afridi, Hafeez along with Asif needs to finish the first 12 overs.
4- Aamer and Ajmal from over 12 onwards.

Agree with all your points, but a captain should be smart enough to be flexible in his strategy and be able to change it on the spot. If Asif gets hit in the beginning, he doesn’t have to complete his 4 overs on the trot, but can come back later. If spinners aren’t getting help from the wicket, then Hafeez doesn’t need to bowl his full quota, etc. etc.
