SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
From recent two ODI’s against Bangladesh it is evident that Pakistan’s cricket is dependent on bowling because the country failed to produce a goog batting line up. From World cup of 1992 to 2014, Pakistan’s only strength is bowling. Pakistan might have won two ODI’s gainst Bangladesh but due to failur to break of big partnerships Pakistan could not carry the day. Though the presence of Wahab Riaz, Umer Gul and Muhammad Irfan and Junaid Khan could tople the top order of world’s best teams yet they lack the experience from which legend Wasim Akrm, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhter and Imran Khan were equipped. Now Pakistan has pinned its hopes to the return of Muhammad Ammair, the fast bowler who was banned from all cricket after pleading guilty in 2010 to charges of bowling deliberate no-balls at pre-arranged times to fix spot betting markets, while playing for Pakistan in a Test against England at Lord’s. The International Cricket Council shortened his five-year ban in January, for his cooperation with its anti-corruption and security unit. He was considered Pakistan’s next great bowler, having taken 51 wickets in 14 tests at an average of 29.09, and 25 wickets in 15 one-day internationals at an average of 24. He also had 23 wickets in 18 Twenty20s.
If Muhammad Aamir returns with same pace and passion, he would be indeed a great threat to the world’s top batsmen like his predecessors but if he failed, Pakistan would be in hot waters with this poor batting line.
