[Asif321]

[ataullah]

hammad is a must. Rest am not bothered.

[w8in_4_0402]

Shuld guve hammad a go. Give azhar a last go to.

[w8in_4_0402]

No team news??

[Watsupdoc]

Team kya hai Bhai log??

[qamar84]

[ASAD NAZEER]

Pak won the toss

[Watsupdoc]

Pakistan wins the toss and bats first again...

[ASAD NAZEER]

Malik back

[ASAD NAZEER]

junaid back.gul resting

[Watsupdoc]

Nothing on cricinfo... They are too focused on India's match :facepalm:

[Hamxa89]

No Hammad again.. wow!

[Osama_B]

what malik is back?? where is azam??

[Sherlock]

Knew Gul would get dropped.

Good to see Junaid play.

[Asif321]

No Hammad Again :(

[Zeeraq]

Is Hammad Azam playing?

[Sherlock]

Farhat playing?

[Asif321]

Rehman again :O Only 1 seamer playing ***

[ASAD NAZEER]

farhat not playing

[Hamxa89]

No Farhat.. Hammad could have easily come in rather than Malik.. uuffvMisbah

[Inziquicksingle]

PLEASE send Umar up the order. Even Nasser seems to think its the right decision.

[qamar84]

what a brain fart from :misbah dude you pass MBA and you are so idiot you bring back malik

[anakwalajinn]

so NO :hammad

and one fast bowler only in :junaid ?????????????????

seriously PP guys ASK :misbah why no :hammad :facepalm:

[Zeeraq]

Rehman is playing? He should bat at 11.

[w8in_4_0402]

Hahaha malik in for farhat lmaoo. Is Afridi opening.

[IAJ]

Why no Hammad? These jokers!

[Osama_B]

can someone please post the 11

[Asif321]

Who the hell has selected this team
Only 1 seamer
No Hammad Azam
SPinners only and only
:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

[w8in_4_0402]

After the phainty cheema and gul got i would have gone without a seamer lol.

[Zeeraq]

Playing XI :
Mohammad Hafeez, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Adnan Akmal†, Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman

[w8in_4_0402]

Thts just s joke btw.

[ASAD NAZEER]

Pakistan team
Mohammad Hafeez, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Adnan Akmal†, Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman

[Amjid Javed]

Malik playing? No hammad Azam?

Why pick him in sqaud if hes not going to get any chances! really pathetic selection once again!

[Shayan]

1 fast bowler, 5 spinners, and no Hammad. Surely Hammad instead any one of the spinners would have been a far better option.

[imshally81]

from Cricbuzz

Misbah: We are batting first. We have lots of injuries in our side. Farhat is out and Malik is coming back into the side. We are resting Gul and lot of players are sick. We are not capitalization on the good starts and we are working on it. Junaid Khan and Rehman replace Gul and Cheema.

[Sherlock]

England team

AN Cook*, KP Pietersen, IJL Trott, EJG Morgan, C Kieswetter†, JC Buttler, SR Patel, TT Bresnan, DR Briggs, ST Finn, JW Dernbach


Pakistan team

Mohammad Hafeez, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Adnan Akmal†, Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman

[RehanG]

what the HELLL this is just:@@:@:@

why Malik Rehman only freaking spinners?

[Amjid Javed]

I can see a 4-0 whitewash being completed here!

[Watsupdoc]

Lol Only 1 fast bowler... but at least Misbah has more bowling options this time around.

[imshally81]

Malik ka jadu phir chal gia :D :) :))) :)))

[Zeeraq]

Really poor team, Only 1 pacer and 5 spinners. *sigh*

[ASAD NAZEER]

only a miracle can save us from being whitewashed

[ASAD NAZEER]

bad selection of players

[w8in_4_0402]

Playing XI :
Mohammad Hafeez, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq*, Umar Akmal, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Adnan Akmal†, Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman

Actually this is a very good team just replace rehman with hammad and i wouldnt ask for more.

[Watsupdoc]

Hammad should gave played...

[anakwalajinn]

maybe :hammad is not fit? :misbah should have mentioned it...

[Zeeraq]

One thing I like about this XI, Misbah is finally batting at No4.

[Asif321]

Ohhhhhhhh Goddddddddddd


wht a diaster :yk:yk:yk:yk:yk:yk

How many spinners are u playing for wht
1 seamer .. why not Hammad plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz give me a answerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :tanvir

[w8in_4_0402]

Might have a chance to win looking at england line up lol.

[Sherlock]

I cannot fathom why Hammad isn't playing.

Really defensive move by Misbah, yet again.

[bforme]

time to say good bye to Misbah from LOIs captaincy after this and also to Mohsin Khan.

[Pak_Jazba]

I wish Malik goes for a first ball duck. Had enough of this piece of ****.

Hopefully Misbah and Malik both go after this series. Misbah for having pathetic selection policies and Malik for whatever he does.

[AFG_Brit]

Let's hope they can put up a good score. We might even get to see 45+ overs of spin if junaid doesn't bowl well. Has it ever happened in ODI cricket?

[bforme]

4-0 on cards.

[Watsupdoc]

Jos Buttler is playing ! Should be interesting

[ataullah]

wth malik in and no hammad!!! sick of seeing malik.

[Amjid Javed]

So england give debuts to briggs and butler, trying new players out, sadly that concept is lost on pakistan!

[RehanG]

post some 500 on the board

[Fawad2010]

This thread seems like a post-mortom thread for a loss.

Cheer up guys, we've got 5 Spinners!

[ASAD NAZEER]

look at the indian youngesters batting today.show good fighting

[WiiiCKET]

So hafeez will open with Junaid?

[anakwalajinn]

even England are giving a chance to youngsters when they have a chance to complete 4-0...

[hazen_batti]

This thread seems like a post-mortom thread for a loss.

Cheer up guys, we've got 5 Spinners!

6 spinners

[duostyle]

Pathetic... playing just one seamer?

Misbah's decisions and captaincy have been lackluster during the ODIs, bringing Malik back yet again proves what kind of team he's trying to build here.

[Asif321]

only hammad didnt play a single game in this series

[pak4life]

A sad day for Pakistan cricket it has come to this we have to play one seamer. It's shocking hammad is not playing serious questions need to be asked after the match the management seem to be clueless.

[Fawad2010]

6 spinners

azhar doesnt count, so unless you are making fun of Junaid's speed :moyo 5 it is.

[anakwalajinn]

as much as I am a big fan of :misbah and his captaincy, and against wholesale changes after one series loss. we must do something about this...

[qamar84]

what the hell :misbh is doing he lost his mind

[Amoeba]

Younis remains dropped......ahem....sorry ill.....and Frahat seems to have picked up a mystery injury........oh yes being useless at batting and fielding - terribly afflicted with it all his career......poor lad

[qamar84]

as much as I am a big fan of :misbah and his captaincy, and against wholesale changes after one series loss. we must do something about this...

on the spot bro me too big fan of :misbah but thi is :facepalm:

[rakib_08]

Hope pakistan will win today

[Asif321]

has misbah and mohsin lost their mind or wht

[ASAD NAZEER]

Hafeez and Azhar Ali will open

[Asif321]

azhar ali to open

[deviously~fading~away]

Picking Malik over Hammad? Misbah you sir are an idiot in ODI cricket!

[Asif321]

Offf the markk

[qamar84]

not a single person in the crowds well done PAKISTAN you make them runaway :14:

[ASAD NAZEER]

not a single person in the crowds well done PAKISTAN you make them runaway :14:

people dont like to lost so badly

[qamar84]

don't understand the problem of :hafeez sometimes is just a brilliant batsmen and sometime he become worst than damad ji ??????????????????????

[Ashraful_Rox]

S. Broad not picked

my fantasy missing a few players, I am doomed, I am no:2, guess it will bring me down.

This is a conspiracy

[ASAD NAZEER]

Hafeez Gone

[rakib_08]

gone

[qamar84]

don't understand the problem of :hafeez sometimes is just a brilliant batsmen and sometime he become worst than damad ji ??????????????????????

what did i said :out :facepalm:

[rakib_08]

bad start

[style_guru]

Dernbach strikes??:O

I never expected him to take wickets:facepalm:

[hamzamunir]

HAHAHAHA professor has left the class.

[Asif321]

I seriously hope misbah selects hammad and zia in T20

im scared he might rest zia in T20 just like hammad in ODI's

[Osama_B]

knew it. we would make this disgusting bowler look like a world beater. he will take 5 wickets u watch. and struggle against every other team he bowls to.

[ares1000]

FFS! Hafeez sucks.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Why did I even pick :hafeez

I was even thinking of making him the captain, thanks to allah i didn't

[AFG_Brit]

The future captain has gone!!

[Muhammad Waleed]

:out

[Osama_B]

Dernbach strikes??:O

I never expected him to take wickets:facepalm:

why? u don't have to be good to take wickets against pakistan

[Pak_Jazba]

Watch Asad Shafiq play a good knock today.

[ares1000]

knew it. we would make this disgusting bowler look like a world beater. he will take 5 wickets u watch. and struggle against every other team he bowls to.

This.

Dont know why they dont move their blasted feet!

[Amoeba]

Dernbach strikes??:O

I never expected him to take wickets:facepalm:

Dernback is pretty good - and it is the first time our batters have seen him. We always struggle with new bowlers.....Finn is a case in point.

[Asif321]

lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :hafeez

[chui_kadoo]

Bloody Hafeez bottles it again. Must be removed ASAP from the opening slot. Always goes out on a whimper

[dhump]

so hafeez continue to shine.

[Amjid Javed]

Another excellent start by pakistan!

pathetic batting for hafeez all series!

[Inziquicksingle]

Two of the slowest young battters out there. I don't see the RR going above 3 here. Another horrible decision by Misbah not sending Umar.

[chui_kadoo]

Surely must be the end of Hafeez. he clearly has a technical deficiency

[qamar84]

:shafiq :four

[style_guru]

why? u don't have to be good to take wickets against pakistan

Mate, I know you are being negative but seriously Dernbach? No way.

[Pak_Jazba]

Shot by Shafiq :four

[chui_kadoo]

What is Hafeez's batting average this series against a good side?

[purepak]

hahah what an eejit

[hamzamunir]

lol and people want him to be KUPTAAN sahab. hahaha

[chui_kadoo]

260 minimum is required

[Asif321]

Give Malik chance Next rather then hiding him on 7th

[chui_kadoo]

LOL Hafeez as captain. Should not be in the side never mind being captain

[Ashraful_Rox]

Malik should be promoted and given a chance at no 4

[Majestic_Inzi]

from bad to worse. Pakistan have a long tail. I bet they lose today.

[Foozee]

whattay start by Hafeez.. uff bekaar

[Pak_Jazba]

2 for Azhar Ali.

[Watsupdoc]

Hafeez :facepalm:

[speed]

hafeez is very overrated on this forum

[NeVerMind]

Farhat has got a better average opening than Hafeez this series!!!

[ares1000]

Surely must be the end of Hafeez. he clearly has a technical deficiency

One would hope so. He is very very poor.

I am glad these two "tuk-tuks" are together. Hopefully, they can build a platform.

[Pak_Jazba]

Azhar Ali playing some nice strokes out there.

[Watsupdoc]

AA is batting pretty well.

[chui_kadoo]

Dont worry Folks we have rehman in the batting line up so I am sure he hold the middle to late order together

[Sufi Malang]

What a pathetic team they are fielding today? So many spinners , just one fast bowler (to bowl under lights) and Shoaib Malik back instead of Hammad???

Wow really pathetic stuff from Misbah & Co! How can you expect to beat the in form England team with this kind of lineup. No balance at all! I would be very surprised if they manage to beat England! 4-0 on the cards!

[chui_kadoo]

hafeez is very overrated on this forum
Most over rated player ever

[Sufi Malang]

[hamzamunir]

Ok so score of 250+ here then we can declare. Azhar and Asad are looking fine, need to bat out the whole day today.

[Couch Cricketer]

Two of the slowest young battters out there. I don't see the RR going above 3 here. Another horrible decision by Misbah not sending Umar.

Not really if they survive 20 overs for 50 we can score 200 in the last 30 but if they dont we will be all out in 40 overs

[ninjafirstslip]

hafeez minnow basher.

[ares1000]

from bad to worse. Pakistan have a long tail. I bet they lose today.

Like every other day this series. :D

Oh well, live and learn. Tests are a priority, we swept those.

All I ask is that we somehow beat India in the Asia Cup.

[chui_kadoo]

need a 50 partnership minumum from these two

[NeVerMind]

Most over rated player ever

And just when you thought he turned a corner! Will we ever sort out the openers at least in my life time?

[Pak_Jazba]

Pretty embarrasing this, a bowler like Samit Patel has done better than Afridi/Ajmal this series.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bring in :nazir please

[badxhah]

the greater the technical difficulties the longer they stay in the team..rather than goin to domestic cricket and solving them out.

Professor hafeez holds a Phd in the art of fishing.

[Watsupdoc]

Good running between the youngsta beauties

[PapaBear]

has misbah and mohsin lost their mind or wht
David Watmore or whatever his name is should come-in to select a proper team at least.

[qamar84]

good running between these 2

[Majestic_Inzi]

Ok so score of 250+ here then we can declare. Azhar and Asad are looking fine, need to bat out the whole day today.

they not making 250 here, batting looks very weak without younis.

[chui_kadoo]

hafeez minnow basher.
He loved playing against WI, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe

[rakib_08]

Why the team suddenly change..

[badxhah]

need a 50 partnership minumum from these two

a partnership of 50 b/w these 2 will come by the end of 3rd day in the ODI

[chui_kadoo]

And just when you thought he turned a corner! Will we ever sort out the openers at least in my life time?
Me thought he turned the corner . I am the very few on here who has never rated him. he is just a minnow basher

[qamar84]

David Watmore or whatever his name is should come-in to select a proper team at least.

he is not the selector on ly main board commintee select that why we have :farhat

[pak4life]

if Malik is not batting in the top 3 he should not be in the team this team is a shambles only afridi ajmal and umar akmal are worthy of their place.

[Pak_Jazba]

People should relax.

Just because Asad and Azhar are batting it doesnt mean RR will slow down. Infact they are playing good strokes.

[ares1000]

Or watch on Sky Sports...

Samit Patel like any SLA causes us fits.

[NeVerMind]

Bring in :nazir please

Tried and tested failure. Plus not willing to learn so will not fit in under Dav's coaching stint...

[IAJ]

The rubbish player is back to his usual form. (Hafeez) Overrated! Never liked him as a cricketer! knew that little periode was fluke!

Now I am feeling much better :)

[Majestic_Inzi]

malik will not score double figures, watch.

[Pak_Jazba]

a partnership of 50 b/w these 2 will come by the end of 3rd day in the ODI

Not sure which match you are watching.

Both are being positive out there!

[chui_kadoo]

100 in first 30 overs will do the trick and then we can score 160 in the last 20 overs

[style_guru]

Probably Shoaib Mirza will prove his worth today:45:

[Pak_Jazba]

12/1. Good batting by these two.

[Ashraful_Rox]

Nasir Jamshed 12 matches, averaging 35.30 with a SR of 101.14, give the youngsta more chances

[ninjafirstslip]

minnow basher hafeez sharam karo!

[hamzamunir]

they not making 250 here, batting looks very weak without younis.

I hope you caught on to my sarcasm...

[chui_kadoo]

Bring in :nazir please
he should be picked for T20. He shouldnt be in the ODI side

[Pak_Jazba]

Probably Shoaib Mirza will prove his worth today:45:

I hope he fails today. Countless chances being given to one player is just too much and unfair for other cricketers to be honest.

[NeVerMind]

Nasir Jamshed 12 matches, averaging 35.30 with a SR of 101.14, give the youngsta more chances

Agree with Nasir though...

[Amjid Javed]

This is a massive chance for Asad and AA to prove they have what it takes to be top ODI players and bat in top 3 for pakistan for the future!

Pak 12/1

[ninjafirstslip]

jnr better come in next...

[Amoeba]

Aamir is such a useless commentator - have to get him to speak!

[IAJ]

minnow basher hafeez sharam karo!

Finally a good post on him. He is only a minnow basher, nothing else.

[Majestic_Inzi]

Nasir Jamshed 12 matches, averaging 35.30 with a SR of 101.14, give the youngsta more chances

you see, his father in law is not part of the selection team. SO he has no chance.

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

i said to drop hafeez next time but no??

i said to open with asad and ali :facepalm:

[Amoeba]

I hope he fails today. Countless chances being given to one player is just too much and unfair for other cricketers to be honest.

Never want any of our players to fail - not even that useless waster showboy actor....

[qamar84]

take a couple :shafiq good running

[rakib_08]

run rate is very low

[hamzamunir]

:facepalm: feels like a test match right now. Mohsin Khan where are you?

[Pak_Jazba]

he should be picked for T20. He shouldnt be in the ODI side

Hafeez and Zia for T20 will be just fine. Why do you want to bring a TTF again just because he did well in some tamasha league.

He did well in the Faysal Bank T20 countless times, and was brought into the team, only to dissapoint again. Some players never change you see.

[Majestic_Inzi]

we're struggling against their reserve bowlers.

[qamar84]

you see, his father in law is not part of the selection team. SO he has no chance.

on the spot :)))

[ninjafirstslip]

shafiq is a much better player than malik and farhat....leagues better

[anakwalajinn]

I hope we can draw this match :)

[Amoeba]

you see, his father in law is not part of the selection team. SO he has no chance.

Well maybe Rameez Raja should ask Farhat whether he deserves a place on merit? One ******** opener to another ******** opener.....

[CalculatedRisk]

hafeez had an average in 20's 30's for a reason. That is his level. Even if he is on 40 I know he can get out on any ball

[ninjafirstslip]

Finally a good post on him. He is only a minnow basher, nothing else.

bhai i thought I always post good in your eyes:waqar

[purepak]

ZZZZZzzzzzzz

[Pak_Jazba]

Never want any of our players to fail - not even that useless waster showboy actor....

Seriously speaking though, I've had enough of him. I don't want him scoring a 50 today, and then cementing a place for next two series thereby ruining another deserving cricketers chance.

As much as I hate Farhat too, the guy atleast plays 30-40 runs every 2-3 innings he bats in. But Malik has just been outright poor since he came back.

[ninjafirstslip]

shafiq showing class...

[Asif321]

This might b last match for misbah as ODI Captain... misbah looks very sad today i think he has got the news hes gona b replaced and axed

[Pak_Jazba]

:four by Shafiq

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

shafiq is a much better player than malik and farhat....leagues better

and yet you dont even know

[Osama_B]

what ag reat shot

[Osama_B]

one of the greatest shots u will ever see

[Amoeba]

Seriously speaking though, I've had enough of him. I don't want him scoring a 50 today, and then cementing a place for next two series thereby ruining another deserving cricketers chance.

As much as I hate Farhat too, the guy atleast plays 30-40 runs every 2-3 innings he bats in. But Malik has just been outright poor since he came back.

That's called doing a Kamran! He was awful for 5 years but would always manage a streaky 50 when he'd run out of all chances.....

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

ZZZZZzzzzzzz

:facepalm: feels like a test match right now. Mohsin Khan where are you?

look guys you do you need 20/9 seriously, fast enough??

[chui_kadoo]

Hafeez and Zia for T20 will be just fine. Why do you want to bring a TTF again just because he did well in some tamasha league.

He did well in the Faysal Bank T20 countless times, and was brought into the team, only to dissapoint again. Some players never change you see.
Infact he has done well in T20 and has better average then most. He failed in the last 2 international games and then got dropped. In T20 internationals he has an average of 25 with a strike rate of 150+ which is better then most

[imshally81]

:4

[qamar84]

:four

[Majestic_Inzi]

i think this is the last chance malik will get, boom or bust.

[badxhah]

i think Pakistan dressing room should have a Sign thats says "NO PETS AKMALS.MALIKS ALLOWED"

[Watsupdoc]

Shafiq looking brilliant!

[Revenge]

Guys any crowd ??

[Asif321]

:four asad in mood

[DOOSRA95]

Wow Asad were u been hiding or kept hidden?

[badxhah]

i think this is the last chance malik will get, boom or bust.

form is temporary jugar is permanent

[Pak_Jazba]

That's called doing a Kamran! He was awful for 5 years but would always manage a streaky 50 when he'd run out of all chances.....

Kamran comes in the same leagues, as Farhat, Tanvir, Malik. He was just plain awful behind the stumps, and a keepers position is far far more critical than that of a slip catchers.

As I speak :four by Shafiq. Answering his critics well.

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

OMG only one pacer??

this is a joke

[Asif321]

Does any one know wen was last time Pakistan Played with
1 Seamer

[Pak_Jazba]

Wow Asad were u been hiding or kept hidden?

He has all the talent in the world. People don't want to be patient with him.

[anakwalajinn]

100 + from :shafiq would have been brilliant! insha Allah

[ares1000]

We must invest in youth. Why Asad Shafiq is being written off by so many so soon baffles me. AA is obviously our new test and ODI #3.

[ninjafirstslip]

if azhar wants to be world class then he should have a long chat to cook....

[anakwalajinn]

:shafiq needs 3 more runs to overcome :sachin

[Pak_Jazba]

100 + from :shafiq would have been brilliant! insha Allah

InshALLAH.

Azhar batting well too. Both being positive here.

[Majestic_Inzi]

finn is a one trick pony, but our batters havent figured that out yet.

[anakwalajinn]

I must say :azhar look's much taller than I thought. also does look a bit fitter in the ODI outfit... :13:

[Watsupdoc]

Bresnan in to bowl

[chui_kadoo]

These two need to bat till the 20th over atleast

[ares1000]

In fact, one of our top 3 should bat in test match mode. Just bat thru, if they get 75 of 120 odd, we will still get a decent score if others bat naturally.

[Pak_Jazba]

We must invest in youth. Why Asad Shafiq is being written off by so many so soon baffles me. AA is obviously our new test and ODI #3.

Azhar should actually be our opener in ODIs. He is playing the new ball well here. Shafiq at no.3.

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

100 + from :shafiq would have been brilliant! insha Allah

you are already jinxing

pehle 50 tu bana le

[chui_kadoo]

shafiq playing nicely so far

[Pak_Jazba]

lol @ WWE Elimination Chamber :p

[imshally81]

:four

[badxhah]

finn is a one trick pony, but our batters havent figured that out yet.

we have a habit of making ponies into world class horses.
but on a serious not finn is a good bowler.

[qamar84]

who whow who :azhar :four

[Watsupdoc]

Shot! That's how one should bat!

[Phool]

Why is this thread not sticky?

[Pak_Jazba]

Aamir Sohail overrating Bresnan there.

Average of 37 and Economy of 5.3.

Enuff said.

[anakwalajinn]

lol. was that :azhar ???

[Pak_Jazba]

Classssss Shot from Azhar Ali :four

[rakib_08]

good shot

[bluffmasterv2]

offf the markk

aamir sohail overrating bresnan there.

Average of 37 and economy of 5.3.

Enuff said.

+1

[anakwalajinn]

Current partnership 33 runs, 6.4 overs, RR: 4.95 (Azhar Ali 12, Asad Shafiq 21)

now THAT's something you don't see everyday :sachin

[ares1000]

Youth man...

Who are the stand outs in our FC system?

Umar Akmal, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, these 20 somethings are worth investing in.

[Osama_B]

does rameez ever now how to compliment Pakistan. i will post on his twitter and rinse him.

[NeVerMind]

Give good players a decent run and you will see results...could this be our new opening pair?

[Asif321]

Pakistans Last Were Whitewashed By Australia Before 2 Years
Under captancy of Afridi in Australia

England last whitewashed Pakistan in ODI Series in 1987 at pakistan

[Osama_B]

and nick knight also agreeing with him :facepalm:

Youth man...

Who are the stand outs in our FC system?

Umar Akmal, Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, these 20 somethings are worth investing in.

Surely these 3 deserve to stay in ODI team. Must be fully backed with their place in the side and supported.

[Vegitto1]

I don't care what anyone says but i think that Azhar Ali should be a permanent fixture in ODI.

We are looking towards him as a future cornerstone of our test batting line-up therefore he can be the one to play a similar role in ODIs but as an opener. Surely if he is coming in at number 3 in test he has the technique, and it will add a new dimension to his batting which will increase his scoring rate in Tests.

Because Azhar Ali is the future, he should be a permanent in the ODI team.

Same goes for Shafiq.

lol cricinfo guys having fun with AA :))

Bresnan to Azhar Ali, FOUR, 126.0 kph, too short and smashed disdainfully through cover-point! That was ruthless, Azhar stepping out to unleash hell

Pakistans Last Were Whitewashed By Australia Before 2 Years

England last whitewashed Pakistan in ODI Series in 1987 at pakistan

Muhammad yousaf

Afridi captained only in last game.

Aamir Sohail overrating Bresnan there.

Average of 37 and Economy of 5.3.

Enuff said.

Not really...probably basing it on his test performances where he averages 45 with the bat and 23 with the ball!

Only a matter of time before his stats in odis start going in the right direction very drastically.....

Why would anyone question AA's role?

[Shayan]

Really hoping these two get big scores.
