Pakistan Cricket Board Patron's team v England

[shahzadddd]

Pakistan Cricket Board Patron's team: Asher Zaidi, Yasir Hameed, Bazid Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), Asim Kamal, Faisal Iqbal, Imran Tahir, Yasir Arafat, Zulqarnain, Mohammad Irshad, Arshad Khan, M. Asif, Najaf Shah, Shehzad Malik.


Is this the same Shehzad Malik who scored 400 or something from under 150 balls?

Good to see Mohammad Irshad. REAL good.

Inshallah he annihilates them in a vicious spell.

Well dont see a point really, players like Butt, Hasan Raza and Malik should have played so that they could get a feel of English attack, none of the above players are going to play against England.

Don't want to expose our players to them too quickly. If you give them a feel of us, they will also get a feel of you. You should always send a crappy team in warmup games so when it comes time for the test, the opposition hasn't figured you out and also they are in for a surprise when they see the difference in quality. Warmup games should only be for getting acclimatized to the weather and the pitches, not figuring teams out. Sit on the sidelines and watch them to figure them out.

Well its not like they havent seen the main players before, apart from Hasan Raza all have been playing international cricket for over an year now. People like Malik, Danish, Shoaib and Younis Khan have all played county cricket so they would know alot about them.
