Tbh, given that his primary role in the side is as a bowler, having a guy who can bowl 10 overs and come in at number 7 and potentially take the game away from the opposition in the space of 10 balls is a pretty useful attribute to have.

The one mistake I think Pakistan made tactically was pushing Razzaq ahead of Afridi in the order.
