Pakistan Tour of England and Ireland - July/September 2016

[zimrahil]

Yeah. Never expected them to score 300+. This shows Pakistan have real potential and a good future.

Wow- they just lost the previous 4 ODI's and now after one win they have real potential and a good future? Not an England football fan by any chance?

Calm down they have won just 1 tweaking ODI

That too "by chance "
The Pakistanis would have feared when the 6th wicked was down

HaHa.I know Yasir is a fantastic bowler but.... Yasir only played super in Lords test and last test, otherwise he was trash.

LOL

Nope. I would rather see Haris Sohail take his Number 3 spot, because He is a slow starter, He can not hit sixes if needed, He gets nervous when in the 40s and 90s, and He wasn't even in the team before being given the captaincy.

I got your point. But the thing is, if a player scores 208 runs in 5 matches at an average of 41.60 you cannot drop him for the reason that you are a slow stater,you cannot hit sixes when needed and so on. You can simply ask him to improve if he really wants to remain in the side. As far as Haris Sohail is concerned he is a much better batsman than Azhar Ali in ODIs but it will take time for him to get back into the rhythm after recovering from injury.

According to me, best ODI combination is

1. Sami Aslam/Ahmed Shahzad
2. Azhar Ali/Sharjeel Khan
3. Haris Sohail
4. Babar Azam
5. Sarfaraz Ahmad
6. Mohammad Rizwan/ Umar Akmal
7. Mohammad Nawaz
8. Imad Wasim
9. Mohammad Aamir
10. Hasan Ali
11. Sohail Khan/Junaid Khan/Rahat Ali/Yasir Shah

If it comes to hitting Sami Aslam & Azhar Ali are nearly same, may be Azhar is better.

Well played Team Pakistan. This was truly well deserved victory. Alas it was too late but good thing is that a couple of exciting talent emergence, The likes of Hasan Ali, Nawaz and the maturiy of Imad Wasim.

I would like to special mention about Imad here. The guy seems well groomed and brave and wants to do best for the team every time he comes. He can have an important role in team in future. A good candidate for a Young ODI Captain

It means that we showed that we can adapt to what modern ODI cricket has become. It's still a very long way, but yesterday we showed that we have a chance.

Umar Akmal should come back for the Windies T20s

What do you mean Azhar Ali was dropped?? He was never in the team. He was out of the team.[DOUBLEPOST=1473194136][/DOUBLEPOST]

Umar Akmal should come back for the Windies T20s

I thought PCB wouldn't let him.play due to displimary reasons.Akmals were and never be good players.

Mate I don't understand you....

 

[Velocity]

Mate I don't understand you....

It's just people are getting carried the way due to the fact that Pakistan just won 1 ODI..... If they won the series or made it 3-2 then it would make sense why people are lauding Pakistan more than England...

 

[Rehan_24]

1 Khalid Latif, 2 Sharjeel Khan, 3 Sarfraz Ahmed (capt), 4 Mohammad Rizwan, 5 Babar Azam, 6 Imad Wasim, 7 Shoaib Malik, 8 Mohammad Nawaz, 9 Mohammad Amir, 10 Hasan Ali, 11 Amad Butt

This looks like a good balanced line-up for today's match. Just checked from cricinfo.
