Re: Pakistan's test team post ICL defections.
Asif is by far the biggest talent in the intl game amongst younger players. I have to question Rock's judgement here. If Asif is over hyped, then the other lads should just give the game up, his hype has come on the back of a remarkable test career to date .
Akhtar I agree is a gem of a bowler and a world class operator.
Younis Khan is a world class player. Anyone who has seen him bat can see his class for themselves. Technically and MENTALLY the toughest of our batsmen.
Its a team devoid of steel in the middle. I stated that from the onset.
Umar Gul is a good bowler, no one is claiming more then that yet for him. He'll keep it tight and threaten when conditions suit...a ideal 1st change.
