In fairness you did acknowledge the skewed comparison - so pardon me for that, but you wern't overly suprised
Junaid Khan bowled 29 overs(most by their seamers) for 55 runs at 1.89 against our batsmen. Such a young man on debut in an africn country with on a trying pitch, in his first innings - he bowled tighter than all his far more experienced counterparts - spinners included! What game were you watching? He seriously troubled every one of our batsmen who faced him! My friend the young man bowled extremely well!
So, hhm you admit that a young player can actually play better than a more experienced player?! This is a big step in the right direction for you and your cricketing brain.

However, if you're going to tell me that you're not convinced about Jarvis having seen his 5for spell against New Zealand, I think your analysing skills are very poor. He was the only reason why waller, taibu and Taylor gave us a chance of getting to that total. You're Arguments no longer have any substance against Jarvis in the test arena...
The return leg to NZ is just around the corner. I'm pretty sure we'll face Pak again very soon...a more mature Jarvis should naturally do well so we'll see!

Amazing what a sufficient flow of oxygen to one's brain can actually achieve!
