Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

[treva]

I don't know about Chapple But Broad definatley!
And i think it will be a tight series to say the least

 

[Eddie]

When does the squad get announced? or has it been already?

I think we will do ok in the batting deparment, but feeling our naive ODI bowling may be exposed.

The Pakistan squad is here: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/engvpak/content/squad/257034.html

The England squad is announced this weekend, I think.

England squads normally get announced on Sundays don't they? Sky Sports News normally have David Graveney in the studio at around 9am.

 

[Eddie]

Do you think we can expect it to be similar to the champions trophy squad that was announced?

 

[evertonfan]

Is there a way for an admin to cut the posts from the other thread as there were a few of us discussing the one day games yesterday.

That is true; It was actually quite a decent debate as we were talking about various contoversial inclusions such as Mal Loye. Which i'm sure my MUFC friend will have something to say about.

No hard feelings pal.

Do you think we can expect it to be similar to the champions trophy squad that was announced?

Well you can't pick a squad of 30 so no!

It will be picked from those 30 players though.

I think Darren Maddy has earned a place opening in the 20/20 side, maybe just as a 20/20 specialist.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

I dont think we will risk Inzi in 20/20, since we need good Fielding, and maybe have Arafat instead of him, only for the 20/20.

The problem is that England are unlikely to pick a Twenty20 specialist squad, except maybe for the World Championship next year.

Pak have an awsome squad for 20/20, players like akmal, razzaq, afridi, malik..
then we'll have akthar and naved back too!

 

[sohum]

If Pakistan play this tour, I think they will inflict a 4-1 or 3-2 result on England. Neither side really has the momentum--England lost most of it in the first innings of the fourth test and Pakistan lost most of it... well everyone knows.

You can tell that when the team is doing well with the likes of Azhar Mahmood being unable to even get into the squad.

Anyway, Kabir Ali looks a bit out of form against Yorkshire tonight so he'll be in the squad definitley. :

 

[usy]

Lol I like Kabir Ali hez better then Mahmood anyway .....

For Pakistan's first 20/20 International i would opene Afridi and Razzaq

My pakistani ODI line up

1. Imran Farhat
2. Mohammad Hafeez
3. Younis Khan
4. Mohammad Yousuf
5. Inzamam-ul-Haq/ Shoaib Malik
6. Abdul Razzaq
7. Kamran Akmal
8. Shahid Afridi
9. Naved-ul-Hasan
10. Shoaib Akhtar
11. Mohammad Asif

12th: Danish Kaneria

If Inzi Banned and we still play ODI which i think we deffo should, I would Plat Muhammad Hafeez instead of Malik opening and Younis Khan Captain ofcorse.

If Pakistan play this tour, I think they will inflict a 4-1 or 3-2 result on England. Neither side really has the momentum--England lost most of it in the first innings of the fourth test and Pakistan lost most of it... well everyone knows.

I think they will have some close matches, and remember Akhtar back to our squad to make our bowling class.
