I think that comment alone seals the argument!Having Afridi as one of the best bowlers in an attack is plain proof that the attack is dire, without Asif and Akhtar.
However while pretty poor Pakistan could use the pitches to their advantage with a host of spin bowling.
The warm ups have shown the pitches to be very slow and low bounce so take the pace off the ball and make the batsman earn the runs, ok so they may not be best bowlers in the world but they do have some pretty handy bowlers (handy as in handy part-timers) in Shoaib Malik & Mohammad Hafeez + The two frontline bowlers in Afridi & Danish Kaneria.
Mind you if the batsman fire, does it matter how badly they bowl
