Come on guys we should focus on the positives from this tour rather than the negatives
→ Won test against ENG in ENG after 9 years
→ Asad Shafiq , Fawad & Zulqurnain Played well (Youngsters)
→ Akhtar is back with a bang
→ Gave a strong fight in ODI’s
→ Won against Aus in a test after so long
→ Won the t20 series against Australia
Re: Positives From This Tour
Unfortunately the later half of tour was a nightmare.
I hope Zulqurnain is taken on every single tour from now on, he and Kamran can sweat it out between themselves.
Akhtar did a good job and i salute him for it but he cannot be expected to be fit for much longer. Its perhaps best for him to play only T20.
Yousuf has been disappointing in T20 and one days.
Many will disagree but my personal opinion is Malik still has lot of cricket left in him, he shud be part of one day squad.
Re: Positives From This Tour
Fawad and Asad should be part of the squad for a long run. These two have shown immense talent and performed better than some of the senior players even though this is their first tour to England.
With Pakistan's next series in UAE, I'm sure they will perform even better because batting conditions will be a lot easier.
Re: Positives From This Tour
UAE? Really? Ugh... I don't know if I want to go and see them play.

Not to forget Azhar Ali, though Wahab Riaz was also good but looks like he got corrupted and his career tainted, lets see.
-> Akhtar is back with a bang
Only for ODIs, but he needs to be used in short bursts like 2-3 overs span max.

My personal opinion is that we should avoid the gang though Kamran has sneaked into the team I wish he can somehow be kicked out as well. We have too many all rounders in the team already like Hafeez, Fawad, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, I think its too many already.

Yep.
We need to throw in younger bowlers in the team too once in a while may be we will find few more gems.
Re: Positives From This Tour
the form of Akmal in ODI's is also a plus i think, he really stood tall in ODI's and batted really v superbly. Bid Minus is Mr. Yousuf, i think its time for him really to hang his bat especially from ODI's.
