Look at Ehsan Adil's posture.
His head and neck are bowed down in shame and frustration.

What kinda body language is this for a fast bowler ?
 
Blame the PCB for never paying attention to our domestic structure. It has gone from poor to downright awful.

The quality of the team is judged by the best available players. When they are mediocre, your team is mediocre.

Best available openers - Shehzad, Hafeez, Jamshed = mediocre

Best available middle order - Younis, Misbah, Haris, Umar, Maqsood = mediocre (only Haris has potential to be very good, but so far it is potential only)

Best available keeper - Sarfraz = mediocre with the gloves, purple patch with the bat but will be exposed soon, especially in overseas Tests.

Best available all-rounder - Afridi = devastating on his day, but way too hit and miss. Other teams have better options.

Best available pacers - Irfan, Junaid and Wahab = mediocre.

Best available bowling all-rounders - Bhatti, Anwar, Tanvir, Adil = mediocre (only Adil has potential to be good).

This is why Pakistan is a mediocre team, quality players are nowhere to be found.

Then people wonder what's wrong, and they have become mediocre as well as judged by their analysis.

An overdose of mediocrity means you'll start to accept mediocrity and this is why guys like Irfan, Junaid, Shehzad, Umar etc. look like top quality cricketers to them.

Wake up and understand that quality cricketers are nowhere to be found, this is just a hopeless and pointless exercise.

Stop living in false hopes, I beg you.

Goodbye for a few days, need a break.

Totally agreed with you except Irfan, he is not mediocre he is better than a medicore player.

Good bye.

Says more about our batting line-up. I bet even he enjoyed bowling to it.
 
I am telling you - this team is hardly ANYTHING without Afridi.

He is the only fighter in this bunch of under confident defeatists.

What rubbish are you spewing. There were a dearth of good fast bowlers during that era who could have made it to most sides. Look it up.

The word "dearth" is not right in this context
 
Ehsan Adil didnt bowl that bad as some people here are thinking [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is it right to blame Adil for our bowling failures?

no it's not right..
adil is newbie, he is not responsible for this.
selectors and bowlers are responsible for this all the bowlers
 
Adil needs to be persisted with. Should bowl in the corridor of uncertainty.

Don't expect miracles, I'll be content if he plays Bhuvenshwar like role for us.

Handy with the bat too. Much better option than Bhatti, Anwar

Dude, this guy was a FAST BOWLER, and he has now been working with the team as COACH for several years. And if he can't identify and groom a single intl level pace bowler.

The problem is nowadays we only care about pace and forgot about other skills

Adil cant play BK sort of role, he doesnt have control and swing

With bat he is terrible

Like we hv so many pacy bowlers donning our colours. We simply dont hv any1. Sami was the guy with the most skills out of all this dross n he was nt picked
 
Adil is supposed to be accurate still he bowls 2 short balls or sliding down leg deliveries each over

Kumar is a genuine bowler with new ball.

You will see him get at least two wickets against pakistan up front

Doing well isn't a yardstick . if it were then katich and marcus north should hv been frontline bwlers after what they did to us

Kumar is one of the best new ball bowlers going around, yes he is poor in middle overs and at depth but still i would take him anyday over Ehsan or bhatti or sohail

Coach can tell you what to do rest is not possible. I am no fan of Waqar but these guys we have in team at the moment are not at all special. I tell you honestly we are still just recovering from that spot fixing issue scandal, every team in the world produce 1 or 2 amazing bowlers in period of 8-10 years and we should have Aamir and Asif playing for us with likes of Junaid Khan,Wahab Riaz etc supporting them. Unfortunately we are stuck with them to do the job which they are not capable of doing.
