PCB ANNOUNCED PAK WORLD CUP SQUAD. FEW WEAK POINTS WHICH I REALIZE ARE 1. THE BIGGEST FLAW IS THE ABSENCE OF AN SPECIALIST SPINNER ESPECIALLY IN THE ABSENCE OF SAEED AJMAL AND WHEN HAFEEZ IS UNABLE TO BOWL. YASIR SHAH IS THERE HE IS A LEG SPINNER WHO MAY NOT PLAY MORE THAN A GAME OR TWO WHEN AFRIDI IS THERE. THE ABSENCE OF A RIGHT ARM OFF SPINNER OR A SPECIALIST LEFT ARM SPINNER OR SLOW BOWLER SEEMS HURTING BADLY. 2. NOT SELECTING FAWAD ALAM, ANWAR ALI & BILAWAL BHATTI. 4. SELECTING SOHAIL KHAN OUT OF NOWHERE (even not in the first 30s), HAFEEZ AS A BATSMAN ONLY, HOPING ON YOUNUS KHAN PROBABLY ON THE BASIS OF HIS RECENT 100 WHICH DID NOT PRODUCE THE WIN, WAHAB RIAZ WHO HAS NOT BEEN IMPRESSIVE IN THE RECENT PAST WITH HIS PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS WITH HIS FITNESS. 3. PCB WAS TO REALIZE THAT THEIR PATTERN OF THINKING HAS BEEN FAILING SINCE 2003 WORLD CUP WHEN THEY GOT RID OF ALL THE BIG GUNS. PCB WAS TO INTRODUCE DRASTIC CHANGES ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS EVENT IS TAKING PLACE IN AUSTRALIA. 4. PAKISTANs MAIN WEAKNESS IS BATTING WHICH HAS BEEN FAILING CONTINOUSLY IN THE LAST 10 YEARS AND SPECIFICALLY SINCE MISBAH IS CAPTAIN. PCB IS STILL RELYING ON THE SAME GUNS WHICH HAS NOT PRODUCE EVEN A SINGLE CONVINCING WIN BATTING 2nd PLAYING AWAY IN THE LAST 10 YEARS WHEN CHASING A BIG TOTAL OF 250 or MORE. 4. NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOUR BOWLING WOULD BE, IT CANNOT RESTRICT EVERY TEAM UNDER 250, A TARGET WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN A WORRYING TARGET WHETHER THEY PLAY HOME OR AWAY. NOW A DAYS 300 IS THE FIRST PRIORITY OF EVERY TEAM TO SET FOR THE OPPONENT BUT PAKISTAN HAS HARDLY DONE THIS ESPECIALLY PLAYING AWAY. 5. MISBAHs PLACE CAN ONLY BE JUSTIFIED IF HE HAS BEEN FIT AND SAME APPLIES ON AFRIDI AS WE HAVE WITNESSED THE FITNESS FLAWS FROM AFRIDI IN THE LAST TWO SERIES IN UAE.
