He then touched on how Pakistan can turn this to an advantage and ambush the Englishmen on home soil. Unfortunately, in Pakistan's case that is not as easy as it sounds. Wasim Akram and Waqar have a turbulent history. If the rest of the team sees these two senior players taking the lead in establishing the right environment, I am sure they too will follow suit. The second ingredient is the right approach while batting.
Pakistani batsmen do have the ability to succeed in England.
In Saeed, Inzamam and Youhana they have three world class batsmen. But discipline is required. If they see off the new ball without too much damage, the stage is for the later order to blossom. Similarly, if they survive the first few hours when the pitch is at its freshest they can at least hope to post a competitive total. The top order is crucial to this plan, and while Saeed and Mohammad Wasim are automatic choices in my view, neither one of Imran Farhat, Imran Nazir, and Afridi have the technique or temperament to battle it out under English conditions.
