Bouling looked ok, only on the first match; think of both the later matches. We are very weak on the bouling side. We have so far played all the matches virtually without any contribution with bat from SN & Aftab. I cant see both of them coming back to form soon, that too with tougher teams. Yes, if they would be in form, we could probably manage if we concede some extra runs.

Keeping both of them is gambling. We can take chance with one of them and include another extra bouler to restrict the opponents to a lesser total. Since we have enough spinners, we lack a pacer in the middle overs. That could be anyone who is our 3rd seamer. Be it Shahadat or Bashya who ever is better. I prefer Shahadat.

We are not sacrificing batsmen, compensating for the off form of batsmen. A target over 300 spreads panic in the batting order; but if it is 20/30 less, the same batsmen show much more positive psyche.

That an extra pace bowler can achieve; Does it make sense now !!
