Well, now that the first Test is over, Pakistan must give a long, hard look at their team selection and strategy, and ready to ring in wholesale changes.
- You never go into a Test with just four bowlers and hope to win.
Australia ALWAYS played with four bowlers. Watson only recently broke into team after Symonds' antics. Pakistan team of yester years also played with four bowlers and won everywhere.
However, they key here is to play four good bowlers on form.
I hope they play the following team (considering Younis is not going to be there)
Farhat
Butt
Malik
Yousuf
Umar
Misbah
Kamran
Aamer
Asif
Kaneria
Saeed/Gul
Faisal was edgy throughout and Malik can bowl a bit as well so on a spinning pitch he can compliment Kaneria if they decide to play Gul. Malik cannot be worse than Faisal. I would play Farhat because no matter how bad he is, i would not break a partnership who gave us a good century stand just one test earlier. THIS is one of the attitude that HAS to change if we want to get a decent opening stand in this series. I wish Salman and Yasir Hameed were given an extended run but that did not happen unfortunately.
no sami please! The guy has been around forever and learnt jack!
