Yasir in Pakistan is not the same bowler he was in the UAE. His record would have been less impressive had he played all his home Tests here.
It really shows how much Pakistan benefited from playing in UAE. There is no way they would have become the number 1 side in 2016 by playing in Pakistan.
Their fast bowling is really poor and has been for so many years now. It is very difficult to see the likes of England, Australia and New Zealand losing in Pakistan in this era.
2010 and 2013 South Africa, who drew in UAE, would have comfortably in Pakistan. It was a brilliant team.
Pakistan is no longer capable of dominating quality lineups with pace bowling, and if Yasir is handicapped, they will struggle to win at home against the top teams.
Hassan Ali might pick a cheap 5-fer here, but he is not going to run through better lineups with the same level of bowling.
