Amir, Sohail, Yasir and Wahab. All capable of applying themselves and have scored really useful runs in this series. Not a single person who is incapable of holding the bat which is excellent by our standards. All very different types of batsmen too. Amir with his fast hands who scores well on the off side. Sohail who can strike the ball really cleanly and has decent defence. Yasir is really wristy and Wahab is a decent slogger who isn't that bad when he applies himself. This tail is one of the reasons we won at the Oval too.
 
Great tail. Too bad Sohail Khan won't last long. He has been fun while he has lasted.
 
Far cry from useless Rahat, Irfan and Junaid.

And yes we had them all in the 11 in ODIs, thats why we are ranked no 9.

Since I've been watching cricket this is the best tail I remember a time in LOI's when Sohail Tanvir use to come into bat at 7! All our batters from 8-11 were Worse than number 11's!
 
None that I remember.Amir is quite a good batsman and Yasir can also transform himself.SK is also quite handy(as we have seen).Wahab has potential,as he has shown in the past.Needs to improve his consistency.
 
Our real batting starts after 7. The top and middle order is just there to blunt the ball for our tail to launch assaults when the bowlers are tired.
 
On par with the tail when Akram batted at 8, Waqar at 9 and Mushy at 10. Saqi could hold a bat as well.
