When Australia played two spinners, why couldn't Pakistan?

[b.lesner]

Australia are playing two spinners , who don't play spinners often and that too at home never , Pakistan's strength would have been playing two spinners because pace attack looks ordinary

Should have played asghar

Because it goes against their "Best Fast Bowlers in the World (TM)" marketing catchprase.

Because looking at the one that is bowling it seems wise.

The one we played is even rubbish.

On this deck, had we been playing, both Ashwin and Jadeja would have featured for sure.

Even Sri Lanka would have played two spinners.

Why have Pakistan chosen to be different, especially seeing that the home team - hardly endowed with spinning riches - are also playing two spinners?

Misbah plays only one regular spinner, yet gives a bowl to both Azhar and Asad on the first day of a test match. Is this guy even trying to win now?

Pathetic pathetic captaincy. Inshallah this will be his last game. Good riddance.

Pakistan's bowling unit is a one-man show - Yasir Shah. They're a Yasir oriented bowling unit.
