I still feel sorry for the young 19 bowler........no-one will convince me he wasn't forced to do what he did....his one aim would be to bowl for Pakistan and these grubs made him ruin his entire career...

The reason why Pak were low in the ranking was due to them not playing any home games. Before they lost home advantage they were ranked 4th. Can you imagine how badly other teams would be affected if they had no home advantage? Yes UAE is now the adopted home but conditions are not Sub cont like as there is no bounce or spin on those tracks which you would get in Pakistan.

Amir's age says he has the time and he obviously has the potential but with all sport these days it's the sponsorship/corporate dollar that makes it revolve and as for Amir getting back into the test arena again could depend on if they are willing to place their brand behind him.....I certainly hope so, but I've got my doubts..
