Pakistan team always show unexpected performance.. :slight_smile:

My XI

Salman Butt
Kamran Akmal
Younis Khan
Mohammad Yousuf
Umar Akmal
Shahid Afridi
Shoaib Malik
Mohammad Aamer
Umar Gul
Mohammad Asif
Saeed Ajmal

Imran Nazir kion nahi instead of Salman :frowning:

rest of the team is :k:

i will only do on change in that replace Malik with Rana Naveed

re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010

hmm.. Rana is a good choice too..

but rana is a bowling allrounder..

n malik brings strength to batting.. :)

n with bowling line up shown suggested by Asif, i think including Rana will make us lil weaker on batting side.. :)

re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010

^^ Any particular reason to drop Imran Farhat

re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010

Why do we keep forgetting Imran Nazir is not in ODI squad?

I think they will play the following team

Salman Butt
Imran Farhat
Shoaib Malik
Mohammad Yousuf
Umar Akmal
Shahid Afridi
Kamran Akmal
Mohammad Aamer
Umar Gul
Saeed Ajmal
Mohammad Asif

is not in the one-day squad otherwise he w’d be in my team ahead of Butt

Salman Butt
Imran Farhat
Kamran Akmal
Mohammad Yousuf
Umar Akmal
Shahid Afridi
Shoaib Malik
Mohammad Aamer
Umar Gul
Saeed Ajmal
Mohammad Asif

although I would have loved to replace Imran Farhat with Imran Nazir but Nazir is only selected for t20 squad and not for ODI....

re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010

jee, n dats so unfair of PCB not to include Nazir for ODI..

re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010

all of u r missing younis from ur team .......he will definitely play in ODI's

re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010

Younis will score big in this series just for you guys. Come on Younis the cry baby.

Do you really need a reason to drop Farhat? :rotfl:

  • Khalid Latif
  • Kamran Akmal
  • Younis
  • Yousef
  • Malik
  • Umar
  • Afridi
  • Aamir
  • Asif
  • Gul
  • Ajmal

him being Imran Farhat is a reason enough I guess :)

Saby and Decent, I don't see Younis in your teams. Though I really don't want to see him the ODI side and strongly feel that he must focus on Test matches for the remaining part of his career, unfortunately we can't expect PCB or the managment to be farsighted and so I tihnk he will be part of the final 11.

my team is what I want it to be (with the available players) but yeah you are right. Younus might play after all the collapses and yousuf so much insisting on him...

re: 1st ODI Pakistan vs Australia @ Brisbane, Jan 22, 2010

Including Younis khan in the ODI team would be a waste. After all what good Younis Khan has done for Pakistan in ODI.
