Pakistan of that era had
1) Azhar Ali (A solid 40+ avg batter with a double century in Australia and a otherwise terrific player of spin)
2) Younis Khan (Pak's greatest test player period)
3) Misbah ( A very good test player, Odi hes bad but he's a solid test player)
4) Sarfaraz (A very solid test no 7 in UAE conditons)
Even asad shafique wasnt bad in UAE.
The current team had Imam, Rizwan, Agha and Saud who all despite being good vs spin aren't atg material and aren't spin gods. A good spinner can easily get rid of em.
And Shan is inconsistent and all over the place.
As for Babar and Abdullah........... No comment.
