Your XI against Hong Kong

[iZeeshan]

So with the squad being announced, what would be your perfect XI against Hong Kong.

As of now, I am assuming Shahid Afridi will not be playing.

Salman Butt, Nasir Jamshed, Fawad Alam, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, Misbah-ul-Haq, Sarfraz Ahmad, Mansoor Amjad, Sohail Tanvir, Wahab Riaz, Umar Gul

[prince_of_hell]

[lollol]

Its hong kong, they are even weaker than PAK domestic. i think we can give every new player a chance :P

[itduzz]

[iafzal]

Do you think they will sit Moyo?

Probably not
So Jamshed has to sit and Malik to practice some openning against HK
Salman Butt, Shoaib Malik, Younis Khan, Yousuf, Misbah-ul-Haq, Fawad Alam, Sarfraz Ahmad, Sohail Tanvir, Mansoor Amjad, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz.

Almost all can bat some... even Gul.

[iZeeshan]

They should sit MoYo to finally give Fawad a decent batting.

Butt and Malik opening combo has to be tested out before they play against the better teams so unfortunately no room for Jamsheed.

No Afridi?

No MoYo?

I dont think that Malik or The Coach will take these two players out, coz they know If somehow they get beaten by HK then they are going back to their homes so I dont think they will rest these 2 atleast, The most Reliable bowler and the Middle Order backbone, I cant see that happeaning.

You'd hope they'd be confident enough to beat Hong Kong even without those two. We cannot let fear of losing dominate team selection, especially against the likes of Hong Kong

I dont have such a faith in Malik or Lawson, so I dont really see them resting these 2, anyhow if they do and give chance to youngsters that will be a good thing.

I cant find another fast bowler in the squad otherwise I wouldnt have played Sohail Tanvir
Saving :gul :moyo for India & :afridi is unfit

[P4K1 #1]

Malik stated that Afridi was 100% fit now ... if he isnt fit then rest him, if he is fine then open with him against HK

[Alam_dar]

Good Senior Players against HK, while Youngsters should get Chance against League match against India

Well, I don't know how you people think, but in order to be on safest side my mind suggests:


1. We should go with ALMOST full strength against HK (may be one or two changes, but not more than this).

2. Once when we have won the match against HK, then we are sure that we are in the next round.

3. So, now we could let ALL of our youngsters play against India in League match, while it is not going to effect us any more while we are already in Semi Finals.

[Xshazero]

Afridi should play and moyo should be rested,,,,,

[SameerM]

Alam - ur right

FULLLLLLLLLLLLLL Strength against HongKong.. then once we won it, youngsters for india


BUT- it depends wot happens in the next round.. IF eg, india face pakistan again, will their GROUP game decide the winner of the two, or does it mean physically playing another game?
