12 Tests in 6 months have begun to take their toll...

Been great watching Pak play in whites so regularly over the past few months, just feel that our most recent two tours NZ and Oz have shown a more weary looking side...

Its been a busy period for test cricket in general, think we have just about been the busiest side of the lot and haven't exactly been renowned for our fitness.

Felt our prep for England was good, other series not so much - while the 'home' series against the Windies was of little value. Why we didn't expose the likes of Sharjeel, Imad, young pacers like Sadaf/Ehsan, I have know idea...

Would totally agree with this. The problem is, however, we don't have completely different squads for different formats like other international teams would. At least for the bowling attack, Wahab and Amir look tired and down on pace. Even Rahat Ali and Sohail Khan (who are already not known for there fitness or pace) look lethargic instead of the usual sluggish.
