The batting line-up for ODIs
I am currently failing to understand the batting lineup for PAK.
What is the strategy behind it. Kamran Akmal opens which means rather than plying out the first fifteen overs Pak wants quick runs with shoaib malik to follow both akmal and malik are impact players so either you get quick runs or a quick wicket. if they get Pak to a start than it is all good since Inzi and youhana can than come holding the momentum with afridi and razzaq to do some last over slogging. but if it misses that means youhanna and inzi both have to play a big innings to ressurect pakistan because razzaq and Afridi can only play one way.
This strategy means either we get 300+ or a complete batting collapse. Pak should either stabalize the top order or the bottom one because if runs come quickly at the top the bottom half could ride on the moment tum. or the top keeps a decent run-rate with wickets in hand and the bottom half goes for the slog.( i prefer the second option).
I know my opinion really doesn't matter because it is the team management who gets the fina say. but there certainly is a a bit to much of a flare in our batting order which is very risky and was a big factor in yesterdays downfall.
