This is the principal problem. Subcontinent sides don't need amazing gobfuls of talent at home to turn over Aus/England at home if they can exploit their superior knowledge of the conditions and general home advantage. But Pakistan seems to have mentality issues right through the setup which means they can't seem to make use of those natural advantages.Don't have a pace attack at all. Even Afridi is new ball or bust at home. They've been outclassed in terms of reverse by touring pacers twice in a row now. The selections are baffling too and they're a soft bunch on top of that. Glad to have Abrar though. England sent Joe Root as their second spinner and we lost. That's unforgivable.
If England have proved anything this year IMO it's that quality leadership makes an outsized impact on the fortunes of your sideBabar's a rubbish, weak captain too imo although that's way down in the list of things they have to improve on.
