I think this is the good and comprehensive analysis of Pakistan team performance.Our coaches and players have to improve on aspects pointed out in this analysis.Peter has. Rightly pointed that Pakistani batsmen have to develope the habit of staying at the wicket and they have to improve in shot selection.Our fielding is below par in this test.Irfan is promising but he has lot of work to do in fielding and batting to cement his place in side.We badly need fast bowling alrounders and batsman wicket keeper.
