Which attack would u prefer against India in ODIs ..S.A.A.G or R.A.A.G?

[arsal_pakfan]

RAAG -Rao, Akhter,Asif,Gul

SAAG -Sohail,Akhter,Asif,Gul

i think our strength remains in our fast bowling n we should go with 4 men pace attack against India in ODI series

[Momo]

GRAS - Gul Rao Asif Sohail

if you must go in with four fasties.

[arsal_pakfan]

Shoaib will be needed badly..dont think we can win the series with 3 medium pacers & a fast medium(gul)....we've got to have a lightening face bowler in our lineup!

My kinda man!
The only thing that can ever take precedence over music is food, although cricket comes close.

[Inswinger]

SAAG -Sohail,Akhter,Asif,Gul

3 strike bowlers and one handy allrounder.
Play all 4 and drop rehman cuz afridi and malik are good spinning options

MY XI

??????/Nazir/Butt
Afridi
Malik
Yousaf
Younis
Fawad
Kamran
Sohail
Shoaib

my memory of 2004 series in pakistan is of shoiab getting whaked into oblivion in the oneday series...

and the 2005 series in india, pakistan winning 4/1 or 4/2 without shoiab...

furthermore, we have won as many one dayers without shoiab as we have when he is in the team.

does this mean that perhaps just a little too much emphasis is being placed on shoiab in one dayers?

All the other fast bowlers had a higher economy than his in that series and only Sami had a higher wicket tally.

When you have someone like Akhtar in the team, statistics don't always tell the whole story.

It's not HOW Akhtar bowls that becomes a major factor, but rather the THREAT of Akhtar being available to the Captain, to bring on as/when the Captain decides.

Batsmen then feel that they need to make the runs against the other, "lesser" bowlers, and hence take more risks, leading to their downfall.

How often do you see batsmen surviving against premier quality bowlers, but then lose their wickets when the 'average' guys come on to bowl.

The batsmen are not afraid of not making runs against Akhtar, but instead are much more afraid of personal injury when batting against him.

[daddy]

absolutely javelin, akhtar brings that much more to any team, not just akhtar but any out and out quick bowler does. frankly he's the only **** capable of bowling 155kph+, nobody else. qutie shame
