PakPassion is proud to present the 17th Episode of the exclusive cricket review show - View From The Pavilion!
Your hosts in this week's episode are Shayan & MIG
In this week's show, we discuss the ball tampering and 'zipgate' incident that took place during the 2nd Test between Pakistan and South Africa in Dubai.
Have our bowlers started to focus more on maintaining only on line and length with a new cherry and rely more on reverse swing with the old ball?
Will his pace and place as 3rd seamer a good support to our strong spin options? Also, let's not forget he is a handy batsman as well
I see a lot of us are disappointed with the ODI selected against South Africa. My question is, if you were to have any 3 players in the squad (any 3 players who are not currently part of the ODI squad), who would they be? And in who's place would you have picked them?
Misbah is undoubtedly our best batsman currently and more often than not faces the second new ball as well. Why does misbah always have to consolidate and why not bring pakistan into strong positiom by coming in at number 3. It can work both in 50 overs and test matches. Lack of azhar's form has troubled pakistan a lot in recent times. Azhar can be given a little bit of relief at number 5.

Many would agree that the greatest players are those who win matches for you. Here is a list of top 20 performers with bat in won matches. Second all time best is none other than big man Inzimam.
Are flat pitches, poor bowlers, smaller grounds playing a role or is it just that batsmen overall have become more capable of scoring centuries frequently now?
