Pakistan Vs West Indies – Pakistan’s Defensive Strategy


West Indies has defeated Pakistan by 7 runs in a T20 match of Pakistan tour to West Indies  2011. Overall it was a good match. Both teams have included young players in the squads. It was expected that Pakistan will enter with a new aggressive strategy by inducting 4 fast bowlers like in the past, but by mind Afridi is still playing in sub-cotenant on slow pitches, that’s why he included only two fast bowlers.
This is an obvious fact that Pakistan had won most of the matches by playing aggressive cricket with three to four fast bowlers over the years. The strategy of playing with two fast bowlers in sub-cotenant was good but now team should comeback to original strategy. After the tragedy of Aamir and Asif Paksitan has to look for real fast bowlers in domestic cricket. Pakistan has never been short of fast bowling talent, therefore, only deductive eyes are required.  
Though Pakistan gave chance to Junaid  but more fast bowlers like Anwar Ali should be included. The induction of Salman as wicketkeeper is also good step.
In batting the current talent comprising on Ahmed Shezad, Umer Akmal and Asad Shafiq is good package. Let them give full chances to develop like a unit. Let them gain experience, let them bear responsibility. Let them not drop after failure in some matches.
