How would you guys feel about brining Sarfaraz Ahmed back into the test lineup.

I don't want to drop Rizwan, but Sarfaraz is still a better choice than either Abid or Imran

Imam
Azhar Ali
Babar
Fawad
Sarfaraz
Rizwan
Faheem
Hasan
Nauman
Shaheen
Abbas

Preferably I would want someone else to open besides Azhar but until someone else is ready.

People want Imran butt for his slip catching but I feel Sarfaraz with his keeping experience can do well in the slips

I don't know what form Sarfraz has shown in FC to warrant a Test recall. I would definitely rather have Saud Shakeel debut, if Azhar is going to open.
 
About Ramiz Raja potentially being appointed PCB chairman

CerealKiller said:
The reason for our fast bowlers not being good is that our domestic circuit is not good enough. Ramiz Raja under Tauqeer Zia with unlimited powers (which come with dictatorship) changed the nature of pitches of domestic cricket.

When the wickets were flattish in the 70s, 80s and 90s we produced bowlers who can run through teams with reverse swing or extreme pace or spinners who had 3 types of googlies or doosras. Why did this happen? Because they couldn't get wickets with just bowling seam ups. They had to find different ways.

When wickets are green we have produced medium pacers who try to hit a length and the ball/pitch does the rest for them. When in international cricket this doesn't happen they struggle. From Wasim and Waqar we are down to Ehsan Adil and Imran Khan.

Similarly for batsmen, we had stroke players in plenty. Now we can have batsmen who look to survive long periods, play few shots, and wait for ball to get old, pitch to dry, spinners to come on. Azhar Ali, Sami Aslam, Imam ul Haq, Fawad Alam, to a degree Asad Shafiq.

If Pakistan wants to play Test cricket like the 90s we have to go back (to a certain degree) to the system that produced such unique talent.

Ramiz Raza taking over as PCB chairman- do you guys think it will impact your team's fortunes much? Any massive changes you foresee?

Expecting disaster, hoping to be proven wrong.

A new system has been implemented to an extent, but Raja Ji could easily disrupt it with his "ideas".
 
Average vs bowlers who averaged under 28, and those that averaged over 28, plus percentage of balls faced from the former.
Shows just how good Younus was.
