Time for a well-earned break (!) for Sami me thinks, and for Asif, Arafat and Umar Gul to be given a regular run in the Test side over the next 6-12 months. All these guys would be much more effective in English conditions than Sami could ever hope to be - I think a fit and firing five man attack of Shoaib Akhtar, Naved-ul-Hasan, Asif/Umar Gul, Kaneria and Afridi would actually be better than England's quintet next summer. England's pace bowlers may be as good as Pakistan's, but the attack as a whole is let down by the dearth of quality slow bowlers.
