Pakistan Team Discussion

[Sami Kumar]

Azhar in the team- Dumb decision
Wahab in for Junaid- Idiotic decision

I'm glad Umar Akmal failed the fitness test, else he would've been in for Babar Azam

If only Watson had smashed him that day. He would have been dropped ages ago.

Watson is a legend G.O.A.T

 

[Till Valhalla]

Who?

 

[CerealKiller]

Who?

Sharjeel.

Why does Shoaib Malik bat so low ? According to me, he is perfect fit for #4. I dunno much about Pakistan domestic cricket, but isn't there any explosive batsmen like Sharjeel ? You can't have Azar Ali opening the batting and Hafeez coming down at #4.

Babar Azam at #3, Malik should come at #4 and Sarfaraz should come at #5.

Pakistan did exactly opposite of what I was saying about the team selection and sadly they proved me right. Obviously we played badly in all departments but we lost the match due to worst team selection and management. We have all the bowling resources but we are trying our best not to use them. Everything was wrong about this selection, we played two spinners against a lineup who is most comfortable against spin. Included undeserving Wahab, when he was already went for plenty against Bangladesh and Junaid was in good form. Pakistan would have a better chance if they played my proposed lineup.
Now against SA we will do the usual chopping, most probably we'll play Faheem and Junaid instead of Imad and Wahab but it will be another blunder to go with 4 pacers against SA who are generally very good against pace bowlers.
Pakistan cricket is dead and we don't deserve to play in such tournaments but sadly the other similarly ranked teams are equally poor. I guess ICC should look to have 6 teams CT.

I very well know what is seam or swing, for both you need a perfect action and mostly bowlers get that perfect action by bowling at an optimum pace and hence allow the bowl to move. Even the great Wasim Akram used to cut his pace with new ball, if he try to swing it in these conditions. With overcast conditions there will be a little bit of juice in the pitch so the one who will bowl with upright seam will get the maximum seam while again in the overcast conditions the air is heavy and thus a bowler with right action and pace will move the ball in the air before pitching it.
I will reiterate it again, like any other team India is not comfortable against the moving ball. This is not a bouncy track where Wahab can intimidate India with sheer pace, neither the conditions suit his reverse swing action.

Is`nt an injury to Wahab an opportunity to bring someone like Abbas in? Rahat Ali, Abbas ??

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

NO! No Rahat Ali please.

Pakistani media has started to take digs at Arthur!

Love the conspiracy theories Latif has. Like to know what the hell it is he is smoking? Proper idiot.

Game ON hai!

Where's Wasim Akram? @CerealKiller

 

[CerealKiller]

Where's Wasim Akram? @CerealKiller

I have no idea. Maybe he's gone due to Chappell, Lara and Viv being there.
What's Latif saying?

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Where's Wasim Akram? @CerealKiller

He and Shoaib are doing a special game show for Ramzan transmission ,their promo video (quite funny and amazing acting by both) went viral in social media a couple of weeks back

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

They are doing a decent job.
