Listening in the radio in the car, rumours that Mohammed Amir(?) is going to play the next test. He's taken 34 wickets in 4 matches in the domestic competition (Sunday pub league equivalent) back in pakistan.
Azhar will be back and Yasir too and there is talk of another spinner with a suspect (but not banned) action playing as well.
major changes for Pak next test?

The talk about Amir is nonsense.. Amir needs a good 6-12 months out before he's considered... Likewise with bilal.... Just no need. Get a spinning pitch and Yasir.

I think Amir should play, Ajmal should be in the squad as well and not really sure what has happened to Shezhad.

Shezad is pants. Ajmal is pants now that he's had to re-model his action. He is toothless. I can see Amir replacing one of the seamers.

Shezad is good and has a decent test average I personally don't like the bowling attack!

I'd bring in:
- Shehzad for Mansoor - Don't rate Shehzad but he's better then the useless Mansoor
- Azhar for Shafiq - It's either him or Malik. Rather we kept Malik.
- Yasir and Junaid for Rahat and Imran.

Shazad is rank. Azhar can open instead of shan masood. Drop Babar, ali and Imran for amir, shah and bilal.

We don't need to make so many changes at all. Yesterday was just a wake up call and brining Azhar for Masood and Yasir for Rahat will be sufficient.

Without Azhar, Pak batting looks just as brittle as before.
All it takes is two world class bowlers and they wet their pants.

Misbah and YK won't make the same mistakes again. If Azhar is out then Shehzad will probably come in and he again is an improvement on Masood.
Yasir is also a better tailender batsman. We are stronger all over for 2nd test

If Shehzad is an improvement on Masood, why didn't he play the first game?
I agree that Yasir will give the bowling some bite, but the batting still has the sniff of a collapse about it.
