Congratulations Pakistan on getting rid of the 15 year old itch

Morkel is not a finished product. Even with them SA struggled to beat England.

now keep MoYo and Younis Khan out and let youngster play. They will still lose more than they will win, but that will be real team building effort, instead of chopping and changing. Drop Malik too.

Moyo shouldn't be brought back at all, but I wish they would bring back Younis. The young batsman need someone to guide them, and Younis being Pakistan's best test batsman would be the best choice. But I don't see it happening because of all internal politics, and that's the same reason why i don't see Malik being dropped either. Malik is some guy...gets unbanned, fine cut in half, gets in the team..and rumors are he might be odi captain.

So you tell me which bowling attack is good when the conditions aren't helpful? Every bowling attack will usually suffer without any helpful conditions. Australia also bowled against us in those helpful conditions in the first innings, but our batsman were able to play weren't they?

LOL! Your team has won 2 test matches in 20 attempts and you are making claims like 'our batsmen were able to play'! South African and England attacks are better than Pakistan. Steyn has shown the ability to perform even when conditions are not tailor made for bowling, so has Swann.

The only reasons Pak's bowling attack is not capable of helping us win is because of our batting. So many times our batting has collapsed when the bowlers have done really well.

That's just a myth. Just in the Australian tour, Australia declared in 4 out of 6 innings against the Pakistan attack. Guess what was common in those 4 innings - the conditions were not made to order for bowling. As i said, don't believe me, just wait for the summer to pan out. As conditions get more batting friendly during the course of the summer watch the Pakistan bowling attack unfold. In conditions which suit bowling even Pathan and RP Singh have bundled out the Australians - big deal!

You guys are saying as if this was Pak's fault that it was bowling friendly conditions.

Not at all. It's part of cricket. Ponting made a stupid decision at the toss and to Pakistan's credit they exploited it well, made him pay, and fully deserve the win. Doesn't make them the best bowling attack by any means though.

Pakistan I'm really happy for the people of Pakistan, for they have an amazing team which has comprehensively decimated their verbally superior foes in this Test match.

Credit to Pakistan for the win- but Ponting's blunder helped them along the way.
