They changed two new balls for a while now.

Champion's trophy and struggle with opener may be very spcific to British pitch.

Pakistan's batting problem in limited over is nothing new, nothing to do with two new balls. Their batting strategy and selection of top order batsman is bound to fail in today's limited over games. They start very slowly and fail to take advanage of first 10 over power play and rely on last 10 overs to make up the runs and hope their strong bowling will save them. Now that they even don't have Afridi/Razzak type of batsman to make up the RR deficit. Plus they fill up the fron end with test player type batsman than giving chance to Umar Akmal or slashing opnerer type players.

We are in same sh*t, with or without two new balls, no impact whatsoever. Before we get killed by reverse swing and spnners and now we will get killed by two fast bowlers.
