[PICTURES] 36 players participating in training camp ahead of West Indies tour (ODIs/T20Is)

More or less, they have picked almost identical team that I thought would serve best, but spoiled it with just few horrible picks - take out MoHa, Asif Zakir - Inzi picked almost a perfect team.

Some of the tactical issues they identified perfectly -
1. Amir been rested for T20
2. Couple of genuine spinners picked
3. Fahim been picked as pace all-rounder, which I think is the best option among 3, 4 probables
4. Tannu been considered in T20, which I think is a right call, because his 3 overs at the start can be handy
5. Umar misses out for fitness, which itself a positive sign
6. Sohail is not a T20 bowler, at least that's been noticed. His strength is in pitching it up, which doesn't suit T20

MoHa I can understand, national treasure, he is more powerful than any one, but one of Saad or Talat, if not both should have been part of the squad, as they are lefti as well - rest is explainable.

Your knowledge about Pakistani cricket is very admirable.

Your knowledge about Pakistani cricket is very admirable.

It's not about knowledge about any specific country, rather it's common cricket sense. PAK is taking a batting line up with top 6 right handers, against a team that has a barrage of left arm spinners & leggis.

Then they have picked 5 specialist openers, or players that best fits in top 3 spots - Ahmed, MoHa, KAkmal, Fakhar & Babar; but none for no. 4 to 6; therefore it's almost fixed that regardless of performance MoHa, Sarfu & Malik will bat there.

I am speaking generally, by reading your posts.

Want this guy AS to do well leaving behind all his stupidity, narcissism and selfishness... If he turns himself around as a better player, this kid has a very bright future... With Afridi's guidance he was misguided and Eventually he tried to do a mirror image of Afridi and lost his naturalism. He has age on his side, if he takes cricket and MA as his coach seriously then he has a long and bright future...
