Pakistan in India

[Dare]

Butt
Hameed
Younis
Yousuf
Malik
Iqbal or Misbah
Akmal or Sarfaraz
Akhtar
Sami
Kaneria
Gul

i guess somthing like that is what i would like it to be for tests, i doubt that they will play Hameed but i think that he really is a good opener. Iqbal in there because nobody else is available but i kno that its probably gona be Malik that opens with Butt and Misbah and Iqbal will probably both play.

Sachin,Sourav and Zaheer will be rested for the final match.
KKD should keep and Sree should bowl.

Maybe Dhoni can also rest for the match with Yuvraj taking over as the captain.

News is coming out that Saurav, Zaheer, Harbhajan and RP Singh will be rested, and their replacements will be Rohit Sharma, Sreesanth, Murali Kartik and Praveen Kumar respectively.

Well if Hameed does not throw his wicket away, he can do good.
He is always slow in ODI's, and this is where we need him.
Actually Misbah, Yousuf, Hameed should all do well in the test series since they always play test matches in ODI's...
But last time they played ODI's in test matches (Younis Khan & Kamran Akmal)

What if they play both Sarfaraz and Akmal. Akmal as a fielder, and he drops a lot of catches there

well if you ask me id rather have him in my team than Misbah, Misbah is 32 or somthing like that while Iqbal is alot younger and has a chance to improve and if he does he has alot of years ahead of him. on the other hand Misbah is old and he hasnt shown anything other than his 20/20 performance that he can be good for Pakistan in the coming years.

Faisal Iqbal has been selected for the Tests.

 

[SciD]

you can bring any team except Australia and India will drub them.

^^^^

We just have to wait and see that in the test series

But whats the point?

It's another ODI. We could have SOME PRIDE from the odi series. Even it is devestating to see that we lost it... Better to loose 3-2 than loosing 4-1. Also maybe it will give us some confidence ahead of the test series. Malik will achieve something. Maybe they let Fawad Alam play, and he makes a lot of runs!

Sad not to see him in the test squad though...

Yeah, but we can still try Misbah in this series to see if he works for test matches or not. 4 innings -vs- South Africa is not enough to judge someone.

But why are we talking about Misbah/Fiqbal?
Where is Asim Kamal??? He is the one who should be there. Would also be nice with variety (left-hander)

India won't exactly drub aus,but will give them a run for their money.

1. Salman Butt
2. Yasir Hameed
3. Younus Khan
4. Mohammad Yousuf
5. Shoaib Malik
6. Misbah-ul-Haq/Sohail Tanvir (all rounder needed)??? ARG!
7. Kamran Akmal
8. Mohammad Sami
9. Danish Kaneria
10. Shoaib Akhtar
11. Umar Gul

We will miss Abdul Razzq Bad, or even Shahid Afridi. Because it's the first time since so much time, I have not seen a Allrounder in our team (Shoaib Malik not bowling now days)... that is sad news...

Faisal Iqbal has been selected for the Tests.

Can?t you notice?

The Key to India is their spinners IMO, and we only have one quality spinner (Kaneria), rest will have to be done by our pace bowlers (hard job if the pitch does not help).. I feel mad that we have no Razzq or Afridi..

 

[Gunner786]

maybe its a good thing,
pakistan might finally get over the knack of playing a test team full of all rounders

i've always hoped pakistan play 7 batsmen and 4 specialist bowlers

 

[usy]

but Kamran Akmal weakens our batting..

 

[anakwalajinn]

Well he did score some runs in the last test series didn't he?
