Maths holds up well.Yes because we’ve never seen a Pakistani collapse before. Whether it’s your new young talent or old world class players, put us on a pitch that does something and doesn’t matter who the bowler is we are gonna collapse.
Just look at Hamilton v nz 2001, vs aus 2003 in Sharjah vs Ireland in 2007. Again and again we collapse because our youngsters just aren’t brought up with the correct technique and temperament and can’t stick around long enough to make ugly runs. And our seniors lack bottle but we can not discard the whole team otherwise we would be like Bangladesh of 10-20 years ago.
All these fakhar Zaman’s harris sohails sharjeel Khan’s as pure batsmen are very weak in bouncy conditions So might as well have somebody who can contribute a little with the ball when cleared.
But I would maintain there’s only room for one of Shohaib or hafeez and I would pick hafeez.
We have lost badly a few times with world class players in tough conditions = we have lost badly every time with mediocre players in tough condtions
