Just because Wahab looks good when he bowls and is fast doesn't mean he didn't deserve to get dropped.. He goes for 6/over so when he doesn't get wickets he's just a liability.
the problem is that there isn't replacement. WE have rahat and ehsan adil. Who would you pick?

Just noticed that Rahane has a pretty average ODI record.. isn't there a player threatening to take his spot? Averaging 30 at a 75 SR isn't good enough especially for an Indian batsman.

Not saying he should be dropped.. just commenting on Wasim and Sunil going on as if he's someone who should never be dropped ignoring that he hasn't been as consistent as someone like Junaid.

Pakistan just don't have the bowlers needed to be a factor during this World Cup, and the less said about their batting lineup the better.

Used to be pretty frustrating in ODIs. Has improved a lot in the last year or so.

He's been good since 2014.

The dude has bags of talent anyways, when he stops throwing his wicket away while trying to play his release shots when under pressure he'll become even better.

Yea I think people haven't realized how much of a mess the Pak batting line-up is. I don't see anyone trustworthy except maybe Misbah who'll make a steady 50.

Im scared of Younis and Misbah batting until the 40th over and then Afridi fluking them home.

Only Indians can **** on a player averaging 44 @ 90. Maybe also Aussies with Bailey.
You're doing your standard thing where you look at a team as if for the first time and make judgments purely based on players records without taking any further consideration of pretty basic things like player development, current form, conditions, team composition, available replacements etc etc.
