Younis's ability to score big is undoubted once he is in, but it's his lack of consistency in getting in around it that raises concerns. 6 50+ in last 29 innings ex Zimbabwe. Not good enough for a senior at number 4. Past his best.

I fear Misbah's happiest captaincy days (there were many many highs) are behind him, not ahead of him. Perhaps it's only on the way down from here?
