Gayle is Rana's bunny!!

I didn't know this...

Rana Naved-ul-Hasan has generally been prohibitively expensive with the new ball in recent games, but against West Indies it'll make sense to have him bowl at the start. Naved has dismissed Gayle six times, conceding 104 runs from 121 balls, for an average of 17.33 per dismissal. Coincidentally, Naved has exactly the same bowling average against Lara too (52 runs in 46 balls, with three dismissals). Overall, he has enjoyed bowling against West Indies much more than against any opposition - he averages 16.24 runs per wicket (as against his career average of 27.16), and concedes 4.31 per over (career economy rate 5.53).

Thanks largely to Naved's destructive spells at the start, Gayle only averages 27.04 against Pakistan, well below his career ODI average of 38.74.

Maybe he should play against the Windies??

God Willing Rana will come through, he is a honest/hardworking cricketer .......... so no reason why he shouldn't perform at the ultimate level.

With this form of Rana, I can only see Gayle coming out on top!

Well at the moment we don't even know if Rana will be selected in the game today.

I want Rana to come good for his commitments level but it will take a brave man to select him since Rana lacks a brain. I wont select him for this game.

Are you sure. When we won in India 2 years ago it was Rana bowling that played a huge role, no wonder he was man of the series. At that time everyone agreed that Rana is a thinking bolwer and that is why he was successful in that series. So I guess he was thinking on borrowed brain?

I think he has been in bad form and for Pak to get somewhere he will need to get his groove back. why not it be against WI?
