Will Mohammad Amir be dropped in 2nd test?

[Trichromatic]

Well, after the loss in first test, it will be really difficult for Mickey and Sarfaraz to go with lone spinner again. 

 

2 pacers and 2 spinners is the combination what most captains wants while playing in Asia. Abbas and Hasan Ali bowled well in first test, so they are most likely to retain their places.

 

Not only they performed better, but Amir was also trundling in 120s in the match most of the time.

Hasan Ali will be dropped then I guess who is in as the third seamer. They will back Amir I feel.

Amir was not the problem. Pakistan has no bowling talent if they cant do extra stuff.

Dropping Hasan and keeping the no-baller would be so wrong.  But then again, if they overuse Hassan, he's going to start picking up injuries - the guy doesn't come across as the most durable of pacers given his build.  

[Malcolm Merlyn]

He is a very avg test bowler outside England.

He is still their X factor. There was a time they had Waqar, Wasim, Akhtar. Now they have a trundler army. One guy who bowls quick sucks balls.

thats what they did.

Some say he is not fit. Green brothers are looking for scapegoats. Amir may not be at peak but it was the batting collapse. Just like Indians blaming the wrong party for the loss.

[Laaloo]

This guy boosted his stats playing on seaming and swinging pitches. He is an awful bowler away on pattas.

[New guy]

Lol, just to accommodate him, they are playing 3 seamers and just 1 spinner on these spinning tracks. And paying the price

Leaking runs at more than 4 runs per over.  When SL isn't even trying to score quickly, crawling along at barely above 2 RPO.    

 

Impotent bowling from the pace bowling paaverhouse factory.   Could it be true, like some ICFers have posted multiple times?  Camera ne inkaa  kaat  diya?

It was always true, besides the phateechar bottle topper khan, akram and waqar they haven't produced a single great pacer (ok maybe akhtar could be added in this category but he took too few wickets in tests) 

 

Their golden era of phaast bowling started in the mid 80s and ended in 2000, they were phateechar before that and they have been phateechar since then.

Welcome to the darkside.

[King Tendulkar]

Possibly the most over hyped cricketer since let me think . O yes afridi 

 

another false dawn for paks . They thought they had new akram but ended up with alan Mullaly

I don't think they will drop him... I don't think bench strength is strong enough

Junaid, Sohail, Ali, all at least take wickets and have outplayed him in every series they played together
