I have voted for Inzy as key Pak player but Razzaq and Adridi have an important role as well.

Another question is who is the main threat from Aussies? Who should Pak make special target?

I know all Aussies are dangermen and match winners but to me we need to target 3 batsmen in particular. Clarke, Ponting and Gilly. They so influential players and we need to get them out very early or the game can go from us very quickly.

Symonds is an important player to make the balance of the Aussie team and hopefully will still be in cr@p form.

Saj, I have modified the title of the poll to make it clear what the question is rather than having just the date.

I have voted for Rana as he will be leading the bowling attack and hopefully will be doing his utmost as everyone looking up to him for inspirtion, also after his father death I'm sure he will be all geard up to do it for him.

I expect one complete batting collapse as is tradition with Pakistan but hopefully we're better than that now.

I'd have to go with Yoyo...he's really hit form finally and looks ready to finally assert himself as Pakistan's premier ODI batsman.

At least one of our backup bowlers (Razzaq, Rao, Khalil) need to step up and stop bowling crap.

Cometh the hour - cometh the man. On the big stage - Salman Butt will do a repeat of his Jubilee Cup heroics in front of the Aussie crowd inshallah. He has been out of form way too long and I am sure he is a quality opener in which case a big score is pending!!! [Ameen]

I have to go with the Rock Solid Inzi. A superb series so far and i hope he can finally get his century

I would say Inzi and Rana hold the key. Obviously, others will be important as well.

Everybody. Its going to be a team effort that is goin to defeat the Aussies. If I have to single out its going to be our Akmal. :-)

I just voted for Rana. If he can'r get wickets with the new ball, then the Aussies can score ANYTHING

In order to beat Aussies u need a team effort not one or 2 guys doin the job.

the biggest key for us will be to get clark and gilli out early (i dont think hayden will be opening)---> if these 2 get going , Ozz will get 300+. If we do get them out, the remainder of there line up are in poor form and they can be restricted to less then 250.

so it will be up to Rana and Rao to do some good bowling in the first few overs.

well i think inzi has been most consistent and any pakistan side without him looks destined for defeat

Inzi and Rana I would say.

If inzi clicks with the bat and Rana clicks with the ball.....we have a superb chance of taking the lead.

I VOTED FOR YOUHANA AND O THINK YOU ALL HATE HIM BECAUSE HE'S CHRISTAIAN
FACE THE FACTS HE IS THE DEADLY ONE.

I don't believe any single person can be the key.
The opening partnership would definitly be important as Mcgrath tends to bowl 7 to 8 overs on the trot in the beginning with the intention of taking as many wickets as possible.
If Pakistan can move out of the first 15 overs without big losses, the game would be up for grabs, specially if Pakistan is batting second.

Rana, Afridi, Inzi, Youhana, infact everyone would have to play their roles.
So infact a better question would be who would be able to play their roles well.
