Pakistan

[Aoun13]

Just wondering Pakistan fans, do you think picking Raza Hasan in the t20 squad over Abdur Rehman was a good decision?

Raza Hassan is considered as limited overs specialist spinner back in Pakistan. His ability to grip new ball and speed variation is what makes him perfect for T20.

Raza was a good pick, given the kind of form Tanvir is in. And an excellent captaincy by Hafeez to bowl Ajmal and go for kill in the powerplay. No way Misbah would have bowled him before the 13th over.

This was a bad game for us, was it the pitch or was it just Pakistan slopping like always?

I actually think it was Pakistan because Australia played on the same pitch and played at a 10 run rate, after us.

Dhoni said that when Australia was batting , "because of wet pitch they batted well else our spinners could do an easy job ."

There really sloppy, we need to pick it up against India because they are going to go hard on us.

 

[BKB1991]

Got to chase against India. They are batting is too good and can trump our bowling, so we need to be ready. Dont think our batting will fail twice in our row, have a feeling that if we lose our bowling will be the reason

 

[AsadAbrar]

I think we should chase too. Bowl them out for 120-130 and then win the match. Hopefully, there will be no collapse.

Bowl them out for 120-130

It looks extremely difficult mate.India generally play spin well which is our strength.Given the battng power they have,I think we should be happy if we restrict them around 160.If we bat first well,i think 180 could be less for their batting.I really wish we bat second against them

Umm, but our spinners are really good and Colombo is a very excellent pitch for spinners. The ball really spins well and it is far away from the batting pitch of Pallekelle. I do hope we can restrict them for 130-140.

 

[Ahmad94]

Remember this is Pakistani batting, it is used to collapses under pressure, I say open with Gul in the batting, for some fireworks

 

[spooony]

^Yeah its go all out or get out for 100 or less but that is the 50 over game. 20 Overs are perfect for them.

 

[Sulaiman7]

Kamran Akmal has always played a match winning innings against India , so Kamran should be oppening with Jamshed and Imran Nazir should come after one is down , at number 3 position .

 

[Paki007]

i won't mind if we keep the same batting order.hafeez is a good partner for nazir.As one tries to whack it around other tries to build.Umar Gul will might have another tough game with the ball.Indians play him very well.Remember he is in our team for his bowling.He has gone for more than10 runs per over which is a big concern.we only had one decent pacer in our team and he has been thrashed so far.Spinner shouldnt be a big problem for india.I am expecting them to score big against us and even we score a good amount of runs with the bat first then still there will be a chance of asia cup match replay.we had scored 300+ and they chased it down.So if batting second is must for us

Remember this is Indian bowling which collapses even without any pressure.
