Pakistan v Australia in England, June-July 2010

[ZexyZahid]

It seems a lot of Pakistani players are coming back. Malik, Akhtar, Younis Khan and maybe also Yousuf. Gul is still injured, but he might be come back in time. Rana Naved-ul-Hasan might come back.

It's basically like this. If Yousuf appeals against his ban, he is back:

Door open for Yousuf return

Something not important: 'On Pakistan's last tour to England, Yousuf scored nearly twice as many runs in four Tests - 631 - as the second-leading run-scorer, with three hundreds at an average of 90.14.' Pakistan lost the Test series though, but with Yousuf in the Test side it will make a difference.

The matches are being played in England, so at least they have supporters down there.

[Aoun13]

UNITED team is what Pakistan requires, If some how they will able to do we can have a chance on English soil.

i want to see Afridi in test's interesting to see if he still plays the same way.

 

[Aoun13]

If you look at Afridi's Test record then its surprisingly very good as compared to his ODI batting record.

Yes it is but there is a difference in that Afridi and toady's.To me at that time,he was more of a batsman than a mainstream spinner.
Waiting for the test series.

Pakistan tour of England: Younis Khan not selected for England tour | Cricket News | England v Pakistan 2010 | Cricinfo.com

Twenty20 squad: Salman Butt, Shahzaib Hasan, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Umar Amin, Kamran Akmal, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Aamer, Umar Gul, Shoaib Akhtar, Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman, Wahab Riaz, Fawad Alam.

Test squad: Salman Butt, Imran Farhat, Yasir Hameed, Azhar Ali, Umar Akmal, Umar Amin, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Zulqarnain Haider, Kamran Akmal, Umar Gul, Mohammad Aamer, Mohammad Asif, Wahab Riaz, Tanvir Ahmed, Danish Kaneria, Saeed Ajmal.

Well, lots of new names. Haider, Ahmed, Ali and Amin in the Test team. I really don't get why Alam is not in the Test team...he's only had 3 tests! And he made a fabulous century in one of them, as an opener too iirc. Haider is a keeper, so I guess they might contemplate playing Kamran as a batsman.

 

[Mike23]

Salman Butt, Imran Farhat and Yasir Hameed should not be playing tests.

 

[drainpipe32]

Why not? That's a stupid post, Butt and Farhat could both be class batsmen for Pakistan.

 

[BKB1991]

Butt deserves but not Farhat. He is in the squad due to reasons other than performance.
