Sami had multiple issues but the main ones which I can suggest right now
1. He was Akmal'ed. Sami and Kaneria suffered the most in his hands people talk about Amir's wretched luck with drop catches Sami was not far behind I rarely remember an innings where there was not a drop catch off Sami mostly Akmal was the culprit.
2.He had confidence issues his head dropped quickly he would bowl some real garbage immediately when there would be a dropped catch
3.His stamina was ****e and that you can expect from a guy who smoked 50-100 cigs a day. His spells would get worse and worse as the innings extended as some one has pointed above he has high proportion of top order wickets then many bowlers I think that is one off the main reason
4.He could not bowl dry. If he was not getting anything out of the conditions he would take a beating like none seen he just did not know the art of keeping it quite when conditions were batting friendly.
just my two or four cents on Sami.
