Its sad that Shoaib is not among the 12 picked for the ICC squad to play the one off test with the Aussies. True, he did not perform in the one-dayers, but players like Shoaib perfortm only if they are handled properly by the skipper. Was Pollock able to do this? Obviously not. Someone like Flemming would have really got the best out of Shoaib. Sad that we will not see the world's fastest bowler in action!
Why is Chaminda Vaas not part of the test team atleast. He is by far a more experienced and better bowler than harmison and for that matter even Pollock.
