its a question of form
look at rana 1 series before that indian tour(the vb series),
heck look at rana during england series and then look at his form in the next series vs windies

Shoaib 'going through hell'

March 09, 2007 DISGRUNTLED Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar said overnight his failure to make it to the World Cup in the Caribbean had caused him great pain.

Poor guy, never been a really big fan of him, but I wish he was going to the World Cup.

 

[Gunner786]

he may have been labelled a cheat but theres no doubt of the joy,excitement and thrill he brings to a cricket fan

Windies shouldnt play Powell. No good. I reakon thier bowling line-up should be Collymore, Taylor, Bradshaw as the 3 strike bowlers and then Bravo and Gayle, with perhaps Samuels sharing the load with Bravo

Great geat win for us... that would be a hug confidence for the whole squad and both the bowlers and batsmen did their bit

 

[ZexyZahid]

I didn't expect Pakistan to beat South Africa, but this is certainly a motivation for them. Especially since they know the result of West Indies vs India.

That should give us some confidence.

 

[Karachi Xpress]

Yea...After looking at their victory against SA they are sure to gain confidence and even WI lost badly to India but Pakistan shud not be overconfident!

 

[desidudecool]

yeah pakistan should win it.windies dont look that good

Apparently Inzi is to conduct all his post-match interviews in Urdu. Should be fun for the interviewers...

 

[Gunner786]

sportsmen all over the world conduct interviews in their native language,

you wont see a spanish or french footballer be forced to speak english so why should cricketers be treated any different?

Apparently Inzi is to conduct all his post-match interviews in Urdu. Should be fun for the interviewers...

Might as well. Interviewers usually have a hard time understanding him anyway.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Well, the focus is on cricket now, not how someone will speak in public.

I can't wait for the opening match.
