Fat chance. Never has been in the past few years, so would be extremely unexpected if it is now. Of course, the whole attack could suddenly metamorphose into a challenging bowling unit, but there are too many ifs, and too many things that can potentially go wrong.

Maybe, in a few series time, if Shoaib works on his fitness, we could have something interesting, as the younger boys would have more experience by then. An attack of Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul, M. Sami, Kaneria and Razzaq/Afridi has potential on paper, all it needs is the right coaching and learning opportunities before it can begin to deliver.
