does help pakistan are awful with the new ball, actually quite funny that sri lanka probably bowl better with the new ball.
quite baffling how pakistan just can not bowl with the new ball one constant throughout pakistan history really.
lords awful with the new ball, manchester again awful and here awful.
imho sri lanka/india and some of the weaker pace bowling attacks bowled better than pakistan this series.
god knows how many times they bowled short/wide and legside/straight to cook.
Cook got a strike rate of 76 in the series which kind of shows how crap the new ball bowling his.
he been scoring quicker than run a ball during the new ball overs as well.
not seen any team ever prefer to bowl with an old ball like pakistan do.
crazy how accurate they can be with the old ball but so wayward with the new ball.
