DirkL: “All teams are struggling to get tailenders out. One-day and 20-20 cricket has turned #9 and 10 not into quite an adequate batsman. You can’t count Philander as a tailender anyway. #8 is almost always an allrounder.”

i agree…concept of tailenders now only apply to pakistan or maybe india…

and that is why i appreciate waqar younis so much…he used to get them out in a minute…now pak struggles so much to get them out

Pakistan struggles with everything now PD…batting, bowling…fielding is a little better than yesteryears otherwise…this is the new Pakistan…Its a good no. 4 side in Tests…but that is about it. We don’t have exceptional players anymore who could turn the game around alone…except maybe for Saeed Ajmal. However a first days pitch won’t be to his liking under normal conditions.

Lets see how this docile pitch turns into fast and furious once Pakistan comes out to bat. Philander will have his tail up after getting a 50 and Steyn will be at his best.
