I reckon they immediately regretted it after Imran's first two or three overs too.Who knows, abbas might not even have done amazing if he had been picked, but its still so stupid. Teams overthink this **** way too much these days, good bowlers are good bowlers, just pick them.
They had every reason to expect him to bowl better than that and I reckon he usually would (although his domestic figures since his largely unfair Test dumping make me suspect they only recalled him because he's such a Misbahian), but when you pick someone entirely because they skittled the A team with the new ball and they do that, ouch.
