Re: PSL 2nd Q.Final: Islamabad United v Karachi Kings at Dubai (DSC), Feb 20, 2016
Aap nay yea baat kaisay kah dee? See, how people got agitated, even on this forum, when you mentioned that … even though none here are selectors. 
Bura na manna, but you should know that, Sami has to born again from outside Karachi to be in national team. Don’t you know? … Even though Sami has lowest average (15.71) amongst Pakistani fast bowlers who played T20 international, has the best strike rate (gets a wicket every 10 balls), played only 7 matches.
Whereas players like U Gul (second best after Sami), whose average in T20 international is 16.92, strike rate is 1.4 wickets per match (gets a wicket every 14 balls) played 60 matches.
Even player like W Raiz, Irfan and Amir .. all having worse averages and SR than Sami, with big difference, played twice more matches than Same. Even Shoaib Akhtar bowling figures are worse than Sami in T20 international. It is true that Sami’s economy is worse (by 1 to 2 runs per over), but a bowler who has such strike rate and such low average per wicket, can shatter the opponent, but, we are talking about Pakistan.
So … forget Sami playing from national side, as for that, he has to reborn outside Karachi (just like Fawad Alam and many other cricketers). I hope you get that.
Here are figures of current fast bowlers in Pakistan who played T20 international.
