Pakistan v Australia in England, June-July 2010

[sami ullah khan]

Hardly harsh. Its a miracle Khatmal is playing after dropping close to a hundred catches and thirty stumpings (conservative estimate ) during the last six years. He has cost Pakistan atleast three to four test series losses.

And Farhat is solely in the team only based on his father-in-law. No 2 ways about it.

Today Pakistan is playing a three day match against Kent: Paktn 21/1 (5.2 ov, Fawad Alam 7*, Salman Butt 12*, MT Coles 1/12) | Live Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Umar Amin is already out for 2 runs. It's now 18-1 for Pakistan.

Pakistan 259/6 so far in the 68th over, Umar Akmal hitting a 100 and everyone else contributing with 20s

This is such a weak Kent bowling attack and they are pretty much eating Pakistan bar Akmal. How the hell are they gonna fair against real opposition?

History tells us that whenever Pakistan do poorly in the practice games, they show up in the real games.

And if we do good in the practice games, we absolutely blow in the real games.

So in a way this is a good sign.

Afridi stars with a 6 ball duck.

Intresting to see how Afridi got out, going for a 6 - Cricinfo reports he spent 30 minutes in the nets after that dismissal, interesting.

Afridi better not bat any higher than 7 in the Test series.

Pakistan v Australia: Steve O'Keefe takes Hauritz's spot in Test squad | Cricket News | Pakistan v Australia 2010 | Cricinfo.com

I wonder what our bowling attack will look like. You would think Smith would replace Hauritz but he is treated more like an all-rounder.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Lol :laugh:laugh

Haurtiz out for Smith :doh

Hauritz is any time better then Smith and if he is injured then too Smith is the:laugh worst possible selection for the test matches

 

[Insomniac]

:laugh

I bet we make O'Keefe look like Shane Warne.

I think this is a tactical move more than anything - we've made crap left arm spinners look like stars over the years like Monty Panesar, Paul Harris, and Rangath Herath.

Hauritz is injured btw...

 

[Rohit Doshi]

I know he is injured did not know Aussie do not have a back up spinner. Smith bowls pretty oridinary. They mistook White as a spinner during India tour and they suffered and now this :doh

 

[ajdude]

Eh, Smith took 7/64 in his most recent FC innings. And O'Keefe's just come off 7/35 and two decent scores in the A match, so they're not hopeless. Suggest a better spinner then?
