Just before this one day, there shall be a 'warm-up' match at Hyderabad on 30th. March.
Kochi aka as cochin (City of beautiful Kerala state) land of 'Masala-dosa' south Indian pride will host Pakistan team from 31st March for 1st ODI on 3rd April.
Pakistan is expected to make 3 changes to be announced soon.
IMO the team should only have 2 changes of Shoaib Malik to replace Asim Kamal.
Rana Naveed to replace Arshad Khan.
In view of the 3rd test performance and new innovative Inzimam, I can't wait to see boyZ in action again. :D
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochi - April 3rd
Inzimam indeed is a reinvigorated man… and he’s reengineered his tactics effectively mashaAllah - best of luck to him and the team for the ODI series. :k: :k:
I have a feeling I’m not gonna be able to watch this one as closely as I watched the test matches.
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
Pakistan will kick India's ass as far as one day cricket is concerned. We are done with the hard part and we did quite well. By the way, since when have idiots like 21165 been allowed to open sticky threads? Have I been gone for too long?
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochi - April 3rd
Par ye baat to aap ko manani padegi ki the start or finish watever afridi provides in the game is awesome and thats the only thing which shatters opposition morale.He provides momentum to batting and is also a utility bowler.i think pakistan under utilize him.if its for not the Bob Woolmer u guys had finished his carrer.Bob has nice insight to recognize the raw talent.I ve always seen Pakistani people bashing afridi to hilt for his batting prowess.comeon guys thats his natural style.let him play in his natural style dont expect him to be a wall like dravid(thats his style) and afridi is quite opposite.Pakistan management never allowed afridi to bloom like the team india did with shewag.give him time and then see wat sort of player he is.
