So, wait a minute, fast bowlers who are performing in the UAE, need to prove their strenght overseas? And what were they doing in the Champions Trophy, selling samosas?

Well to be fair Pakistan have only played those few matches after their bowling attack started to click during the CT. It was helpful conditions for the seam bowlers and here again you were facing a shit opposition out here in the UAE. Id be interested how the Pak bowlers would do overseas now. What Agarkar said was quite ridiculous but still there is a bit of truth connected to it. Pakistan did well in those four matches in CT, bowled very well but real challenge for then is if their bowlers can do the same overseas.

CT was in England. Anyway, we're touring NZ for a full LOs series in January, should be very interesting.

WOW! PCB donated 2 crore rupees to Edhi Foundation. Great initiative :clap
Apparently it was on Afridi and Younis' request, who were supposed to get it as a farewell gift, but gave it to the Edhi Foundation instead.

Nothing better than hitting sixes and bowling out batsmen in front of the jam packed house of your home grounds. Congrats Pakistan for the tremendous performance. Thanks to the SL for making it happen. The door of International cricket is now open for Pakistan alhamdulillah :) You were talking about Hasan Ali, Shadab, Fahim, Rumman and all the other exciting talent Pakistan has produced and now you see Umar Amin making his good return to international side. A satisfying whitewash as cricket comes home.

Coming towards Agarkar clueless remarks, little does he know that this bowling lineup will be far dangerous in overseas than in home conditions as there is pace, there is bounce and swing overseas and boy these bowlers would be dangerous against any top opposition. We have witnessed it in CT as well and let me correct you that CT wickets were flat tracks but this was the beauty of Pakistan bowling that players like ben stokes and others were unable to bit boundaries to Pakistani bowlers. We have seen whar India did in the finals where they got totally outplayed. So rest assured, Newzeland series will be a cracker one now :)

Instead of bowling, the correct statement should have been towards the batting lineup. Overseas would be a test case for this batting lineup. Pakistan strength has always been its lethal bowling so we are banking on our strength pretty well

PS: It was great to see Aamir fantastic come back. This will generate some healthy competition between Aamir, Hasan and Junaid to perform better and better. Infact Usman Shinware and Rumman are there as well. Does Agarkar know this? I m sure he is unaware whats coming ahead

Can you please explain to me what do you see in Shehzad? Did you see his 12-ball duck in the first ODI? How does that inspire the slighest bit of confidence? Sure, he played well against the WXI, and he deserves a bit of a run in T20Is, but what else did he do lately in international cricket?[DOUBLEPOST=1509230157][/DOUBLEPOST]
The only way he can contribute if he opens or plays at 4/5 in LOs.

Being out of form is another thing and being talented and good is another. I see a lot talent and goodness in him as a batsman, its the other thing that he may need to go back to domestic cricket and regain his form back for International Play only If Inzy has no plans for Imam-ul-Haq and Salman Butt....

Absolutely dominated by Pakistan. Well done after that horrendous test series. If Pakistan would have played and selected team as they did in ODI's and T20 they would have won the test series as well. Well played and good to see even though it was a B side of Sri Lanka cricket return to Pakistan. Well played.
