ICC Champions Trophy 2017

[Targaryen]

No Ashwin nor Shami as per reports from espncricinfo.

Yup. Hardik Pandya will play in place of Ashwin due to possible shower and his allround ability. Shami on other hand is a well predicted leave out.

Sunny day but can't really say when suddenly it starts showering. Unpredictable weather...

Fahim, Fakhar and Junaid should've been in the team.

Ahmed, Azhar and Hafeez shouldn't have been.

Ahmed, Azhar and Hafeez

Reading these three names together in the XI makes me cringe

Azhar along with Malik will win the match for Pakistan :')

I have zero confidence in Shikhar Dhawan. He will be a sitting duck against the Pak fast bowlers. In my opinion, he didn't warrant a selection in the first place, let alone be in the playing XI. Just because he had an exceptional CT the last time around, to expect him to repeat that again is ridiculous.

Yuvraj Singh is another guy who is past his sell by date. How he managed to walk right back into team is a mystery to me.


Other than that, I am fine with the squad, including the playing XI today.

What are you in Edgbaston? [DOUBLEPOST=1496570262][/DOUBLEPOST]Why 2nd slip is out?

What are you in Edgbaston?

Yes

Rohit is looking horribly out of form here. Pakistan missing a chance by not starting with Wahab or Hasan Ali instead of Imad.

Yupe. 100% agree. Hasan Ali should've started the bowling with Amir.

Why 2nd slip is out?

If the slip was there, he wouldn't have played that shot. It wasn't an edge.
