Pakistan in India

[usy]

ODI 1 - Pakistan Team

1. Imran Nazir
2. Yasir Hameed
3. Younis Khan (vc)
4. Mohammad Yousuf
5. Shoaib Malik (c)
6. Shahid Afridi
7. Kamran Akmal (wk)
8. Abdur Rehman
9. Shoaib Akhtar
10.Iftikhar Anjum
11.Umar Gul

Fawad Alam - not now, good young player.
Salman Butt - out of form, Nazir, or Yasir is wayyy better. Vice Captain.. Holy crap.
Mohammad Asif - injured,
Sohail Tanvir - Iftikhar Anjum is a better choice. Maybe ODI No2...
Misbah-ul-Haq - crap, really want him to play but replace who?


Bowling:
We need six bowlers, because if Shoaib is getting hit, we have a choice. Bowling is our Strength, sometimes costs us matches.

1. Abdur Rehman - we have better spinners, but we should play him atleast this ODI. Note: he is 27..
2. Shoaib Akhtar - can't play without him.. not a single match - lol
3. Iftikhar Anjum - decent... may get some wickets. expensive bowler.
4. Umar Gul - really good, i have some hopes btw.
5. Shoaib Malik - yeah, Malik can get some wickets, bowls some good 5 or 6 overs.
6. Shahid Afridi - another good spinner, if Shoaib Akhtar is getting hit, we bring him.


Batting:
Our Batting at ODI has been poor, for last few months..


1. Imran Nazir - Yeah, he will hit the ball, but may get out early.
2. Yasir Hameed - good on his day, may cost us the game.
3. Younis Khan - No3.. what can i say.. full of pressure.
4. Mohammad Yousuf - yah! pressure on India.
5. Shoaib Malik - End of the day, Malik holds the batting order.
6. Shahid Afridi - May score quick 50/60 or get out on first over.
7. Kamran Akmal - not in form, i don't expect much TBH.
8. Abdur Rehman - well First-class High score of 96.. lets see
9. Shoaib Akhtar - yeah he will hit down.

Fielding:

God save us.

I rather have Salman Butt in there instead of Nazir. Nazir is just hit and out player while Salman Butt can settle and play a longer innings.

Butt is out of form.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Butt is out of form.

Oh and Nazir is in fantastic form eh?

 

[Dare]

where is that guy that replaced Hafeez in the south Africa ODIs but never played, should give him a run since nothing else has worked.

 

[usy]

Oh and Nazir is in fantastic form eh?

not fantastic. But IMO Nazir will score more then Salman Butt. Salman Butt should prove himself first, that he has grown up.

Nazir should prove himself that he can actually go for some time and not go crazy. We already have one of those guys and we don't need two. Salman Butt is more mature than Nazir.

Just look at the comparison:

                     Mat  Runs  HS   BatAv 100  50   W    BB  BowlAv 5w  Ct St

overall               73  1764 160   24.84   2   9   1  1/3    48.00  0  22  0

The red one is Salman Butt's stats while the other is Nazir stats.

I rest my case.

 

[usy]

Yeah butt just scored 83, I agree now.. he should be playing in Final XI.. but what about Yasir Hameed??

EDIT: I disagree

Salman Butt, test player??

Taufeeq Umar is the best.. Romi and Yasir Hameed look better.

ODI Opening : Yasir Hameed, Salman Butt
Test Opening : Yasir Hameed, Taufeeq Umar
T20 Opening : Imran Nazir, Yasir Hameed/Imran Farhat

 

[surendar]

Butt is out of form.

You have to look out for cric info headlines then,

Delhi v Pakistan XI, warm-up match, Delhi
Pakistan coast to seven-wicket win

Delhi v Pak XI scorecard | Bulletin - Butt stars with 83

Don't worry, India is a team which will trigger all the opponent's players whether they may be out of form or whether they may be debutants and whichever the team they may be.

Well, Pakistan started off positively in this tour with a win. I only wonder, what was Akash Chopra doing in a 50 overs game? 16 from 42 balls. :

India only get all these strange type of selections to the game. This reminds me a player called Sujith Somasunder who opened with Tendulkar in Titan Cup.

 

[wicked_dude]

butt has good record gainst indians..his 3 centuries came against india in india

misabh played very slowly..even the crowd got bored by his batting...i think he is looking for place in test matches...

 

[usy]

lol great bowling Mohammad Younus Khan.

 

[wicked_dude]

lol great bowling Mohammad Younus Khan.

yea i hope he bowls in the first odi

 

[anakwalajinn]

where is that guy that replaced Hafeez in the south Africa ODIs but never played, should give him a run since nothing else has worked.

Khalid Latif. They only selected him to give him experience, not to play any games!

 

[Tanmay]

hey i think India will win
but the entry of Shoiab Akhtar or Rawalpindi Express can turn the tide

 

[Master Khan]

Yeah I can't wait to see Shoaib Akhtar plays against India
