Padosis and No Balls at crucial time

[express bowling]

U can all go for that bcz of our previous track record... but I just believe this happened bcz Sami was making Extra effort to generate Pace and he was clicking 150 too but this can effect ur runup which obv can ends-up in No-Balls... otherwise same over, same speed, same line n length might'v brought altogether diff result for Pak...

What was the need for such an experienced bowler to go for extra speed in that crucial over ?  Why not bowl at his normal speed and go for accuracy ?  He was  bowling good speeds anyway.

^ Bcz he knew while giving his 'normal' he is just an average bowler...

Let's face it that Pakistan is a minnow team. Their batting is beyond pathetic. Just the fact that they were rejoicing after defeating UAE, tells you a story!

Their bowling is hyped beyond compare. Apart from Amir, I see no one. Irfan and Wahab are mediocre. Sami is ok'ish but past his prime. Wahab Riaz is 30yrs of age ( officially ), looks older than that, around 32-34ish. Irfan is a gone story, What's Pakistan going to do when irfan, wahab and sami are not there?

Amir is the saving grace, but you don't win international matches with just one player. Same reason why Sachin used to end up in the losing side always.

Pakistan Test team right now will do good even outside UAE

ODI team needs better approach and consistency regarding team selection, since last 2,3 years we see a new look squad after almost every 3 months, and sometimes a player who got dropped for 1 match because of injury or rest etc, they might forget him next forever...

T20 is a game of tempo and flow anyways, players 'genuine' skills comes 2nd, its just about how and when you get on-song... Exactly the same Pakistani squad with max 1,2 changes can surprise you in next venture... Remember when India was not qualifying even in Super 8 and losing consistently in WT20s? there was nothing wrong with squad or players selection, probably they were even better than today...

Once Younis and Misbah leave, I don't see any batting in test team also. The major problem is lack of batting talents emerging all we see is recycled players who have no clue how to bat.

Pakistan will always have good bowling attack.They need batting to match them.

That guy Akmal turned out to be coward, instead of trying to become a top order batsman, he wanted to become slogger.

To me, Right before that over Pakistanis were favourite to win. But Two no balls +1 (not given no ball) definitely changed the result of Game.

Seriously, it can be pressure or Fishy, I remember disbelief by commentators while Aamir bowled those noballs. And Considering how much Pakis nowadays play in Satta capital UAE i will definitely call it later.
