it is true and a sorry state of affairs, that Yasir Arafat is the best replacement/ medium pace all-rounder replacement for Pakistan after Razzy, and it would have been a good idea that he should have been included and Razzy should be given a rest or let him eat all the spinach he wants too. Oh well one batch of stupid selectors gone and one are in.!
