I am curious to see if Hafeez is giving more 'chances'...

Who will open with Fakhar? Will they go for Imam or Hafeez?
They could also play it safe and open with Babar/Fakhar just like in the T20's.

The key now for Pakistan is to adapt to the longer format. It's excellent that we're hitting boundaries in T20s with regularity but in ODIs, more emphasis is needed on pushing the 1s, 2s and 3s in addition to hitting the ball out of the park. Strike rotation was poor in the NZ series with way too many dots consumed.
We've been on the winning and losing end of a 5-0 whitewash since the Champions Trophy. I expect us to beat Zimbabwe 5-0.
However I hope their best players are back in Taylor, Raza, Ervine, Cremer and Jarvis to make it a contest.

Swap Amir out for Junaid Khan in the 2nd and 3rd ODI, and Hasan out for Amir in the 4th ODI.
I really wish Talat and Shaheen were in the squad, big miss by the selectors.

Don't see the point of having Yasir Shah in the ODI squad.
He has been a proven failure in white ball cricket, maybe allowing him to warm up for the upcoming test series?! Should have included Zafar Gohar.

4. Sarfraz
5. Asif Ali
6. Faheem
7. Malik
8. Shadab
9. Hasan
10. Amir
11. Shinwari
Squad's missing an extra batsman to slot in at 7 instead of Faheem. If Faheem's playing play him up the order and give him a chance to perform. He might not get another chance, and it is Zimbabwe he might score. And Malik doesn't need the extra practice against Zimbabwe we all know what he can do against these teams, it's the stronger teams concerned about.
Hopefully they'll give Malik, Fakhar, Haris a bit more of a bowl (and potentially Babar, heard he can bowl too). Need to see where we stand on part time bowling.

This should be our team:
1) Fakhar Zaman
2) Mohammad Hafeez - as we have no other openers and the fact that he can bowl gives him the edge over Imam.
3) Babar Azam
4) Haris Sohail - was not good in T20I's but in ODI's he is okay I think and he can bowl
5) Sarfaraz Ahmed (C) (WK)
6) Shoaib Malik
7) Asif Ali - was good in T20I's
8) Faheem Ashraf
9) Shadab Khan
10) Hasan Ali

Pakistan’s travel plans to Bulawayo delayed due to cash crunch
HARARE: The Pakistan team touring Zimbabwe had to delay plans to travel from Harare to Bulawayo after it emerged that they wouldn’t have a hotel to stay in. The team is in Harare at the moment, having triumphed in a T20I tri-series in which they beat the hosts and Australia to the title. They are scheduled to play a five-match ODI series against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo, starting on Friday. After winning the final on Sunday, Pakistan were originally scheduled to fly out on Monday evening but had to reschedule because the hotel they were due to stay in demanded payment upfront for the booking and Zimbabwe Cricket was initially unable to provide it, which resulted in the cancellation of the booking.
ZC has been in a financial crisis for some time now, having had to postpone domestic tournaments and struggled to pay players and employees. They have at least the promise of some help from the ICC now. The situation with Pakistan’s hotel bookings has since been rectified and the tourists will now fly to Bulawayo – a journey of under an hour by air – on Thursday morning, when their rooms become available. They will train on Thursday afternoon, ahead of the first ODI. The Zimbabwe squad arrived in Bulawayo on Monday night and trained on Tuesday morning. The teams will play all five ODIs at Queens Sports Club from July 13 to 22.

A few things I hope happen:
- Shadab gets a break in the last three games so that Yasir can see how his injury recovery holds up.
- Hasan Ali only plays the first few games so he gets his mojo back. Same with Amir.
- Haris Sohail & Asif Ali play all 5 ODIS, with Malik & Hafeez rested. (Haris can also bowl and should be groomed to be used to stem runs)
I would play this team:
1) Fakhar Zaman
2) Imam Ul Haq
3) Babar Azam
4) Haris Sohail
5) Sarfraz Ahmed
6) Asif Ali
7) Faheem Ashraf
8) Shadab/ Yasir
9) Hasan Ali / Mo. Amir
10) Junaid Khan
11) Usman Khan Shinwari
This is a dream come true, and I know it won't happen since Hafeez and Malik are both valuable to Micky Arthur. But I could care less about winning this series, and more about getting the right players and combinations for WC2019.
Insha-Allah it happens.

This will be one sided series. Zimbabwe are missing a few key players and even with them, their chances are slim. So a 5-0 result coming up.

Well if you are thinking about the combination for the WC it's a poor selection. It would have been better if the selectors had selected the fringe players like Agha Salman, Saud Shakeel and Shaheen Afridi etc. It was a great chance to have played them and seen their worth

11th July 2018, 18:00 #54
Because we need a second spinner, and the other options that have been tried (Imad, Nawaz) have been average/mediocre.
Wristspinners are the way to go, especially against teams weak against spin, and Yasir has improved his game in the shorter format since his last stint. The other difference that will work in his favour is the the change in LOI captaincy. I know Yasir's fitness is borderline and he doesn't offer much with the bat but he could prove to be a good option where conditions suit playing two spinners.
The alternative is that he hasn't been selected to play and Mickey just wants to keep a close eye on him to make sure he has fully recovered/is keeping fit with a view to the upcoming tests in UAE.

If they are sensible, they will use this series to test the bench strength and try out different combinations. Something like this:
1. Fakhar Zaman
2. Haris Sohail
3. Babar Azam
4. Sarfaraz Ahmed
5. Shoaib Malik
6. Asif Ali
7. Shadab Khan
8. Faheem Ashraf
9. Muhammad Amir/Hassan Ali
10. UKS/Junaid Khan
11. Yasir Shah
It's a pity SSA hasn't been selected- this would have been a good opportunity for him.Last edited by mak36; 11th July 2018 at 18:05.

Expecting Fakhar to be getting 3 if not max 2 centuries against this rookie Zimbabwe side, all the others should be able to do the same too especially if Pakistan bat first in most of the games, they should be looking at scores of in excess of 350+ to 400.

I want us to bat second in as many matches as possible. If we bat first we will score 300+ everytime and Zim will be dismissed for 100 odd.

Imad has fallen out of favour with the management for a reason. He's overweight, has failed with the bat pretty much every time it's required and has refused to improve his bowling. In short, he's lazy. Check his bowling average in recent times and you might be surprised; teams have worked out you just play him as a medium pacer. Nawaz is a better bowler and fielder but doesn't add anything with the bat. Only SLAO who should be considered at the moment is Zafar Gohar, but he has only just returned from injury.
So the question is who should be the second spinner? Playing two wrist spinners in the shorter format is a good strategy, especially if conditions suit/playing against sides weak against spin. Yasir and Shadab are very different legspinners and could complement one another. Yasir can keep it tight with his world class control when required (i.e. the role Imad is supposed to play) but he can also attack when required. Based on PSL/CPL/Big Bash he has improved his variations so this outing should be more successful. Shadab can then take advantage of the pressure that is built by Yasir.
The other factor is the captain. Under an aggressive captain like McCullum, Yasir has shown he can succeed in the shorter format. Likewise, Sarfaraz will utilise him better than Misbah/Azhar ever did.
Even if conditions mean there is only room for one legspinner in the playing XI, what's the harm in having Yasir in the squad? Yasir Shah is a world class bowler and given Shadab still has a lot to learn about legspin it would probably be useful to him to have Yasir around the squad. The other thing is what happens if Shadab gets injured? It's always worth having someone ready to go.
I do have reservations about his fitness/batting ability but the same is true of Imad, and Imad/Nawaz barely contribute in recent times. Plus, with the induction of Shadab, Faheem, Hasan etc. there is plenty of lower order.
Like I said, worse case he might not even play and they have simply selected him just so Mickey can keep an eye on him to make sure he is on the right track for the test series.
I appreciate his selection might seem odd but there is a logic to his selection. For me, a lot depends on the playing XI and getting the combination right. This is as good a series as any to experiment, and if it doesn't work, move on. You are of course entitled to disagree with his selection, but that doesn't mean his selection makes zero sense. It just means you disagree with it.

Changed my mind after the India-England match. Let's give this line up a shot:
1. Fakhar
2. Babar
3. Haris
4. Sarfraz
5. Malik
6. Asif Ali
7. Fahim
8. Shadab
9. Hasan
10. Yasir
11. Amir
With Asif and Fahim being promoted if we're in a favourable position to see what they can do with the bat.

You made a good point that Yasir was successful under attacking captain like McCullum so it will be interesting to see how he will perform under Sarfaraz.
I think it is a good move by the management to play two wrist spinners in the form of Shadab and Yasir.
If Yasir fails, then other wrist spinners like Usama Mir and Irfan Khan should be picked, instead of going back to Nawaz/Imad.

At first I thought it was Babar, but then I realized it was Hafeez. It was Qadr.
Really hope Babar gets at least one 100 in this series after the horror show in NZ.
