Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
i see only 3 bowlers and 2 all-rounders…

(remember both malik and hafeez r facing bowling bans due to suspect action)
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
^ Malik is still facing the ban and Hafeez has been cleared of his suspect action.

Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
i think the team shud be
- SALMAN BUTT
- MOHAMAD HAFEZ
- SHOAIB MALIK
- INZAMAM UL HAQ ©
- YOUNIS KHAN +
- YOUSUF YOUHANA
- SHAHID AFRIDI
- ABDUL RAZZAK
- NAVED UL HASSAN
- SHAHID NAZIR
- MOHAMMAD SAMI
and if you do want a specialist keeper then it wud have to come at the cost of an all rounder i.e mohammad hafeez .................
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
i think afridi and shoaib malik must open then pak will be able to make 200 runs in first 15 overs:D
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
after maliks good batting, get him back
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
My choice would be:
Butt/ no Butt and instead shahid nazir/ Rao/ Arshad khan dwn the order
Malik/ asim kamal
Younis khan
Inzi
yoyo
Akmal
Razzaq
afridi
Rana
Sami
kineria
others may have chances in further matches, just to keep up with our tradition =p
It won't be wise to drop akmal .. we should stick to him in any case, younis khan is just not a choice as WK in akmal's presence.
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
I read in newspaper today that Kamran Akmal is suffering from 'tooth-ache' (wisdom tooth) so if he doesnt get fit by saturday, Shoaib Malik will keep wickets as he did so in warm up match.
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
Yaar Saby 
I think K.Akmal kept wickets in the practice match against India A, nahi?
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
Inzi is sounding like Phil Jackson of the good 'ol Bulls…He is playing mind games with the Indian skipper…that’s something he learned from Aussies. I like that!
Some of his quotes below
*
"All players go through such bad patches and ** I will do everything to maintain pressure on him,"** Inzamam said before Thursday's first of six matches.
*"There will be no sympathy. **I want to capitalise on the pressure. **We want to ensure he struggles in the one-dayers." *
"That adds to the pressure," he admitted. ** "Our one-day record is better and we plan to play positive and attacking cricket." **
Pakistan have beaten India in their last four one-day matches but Inzamam cautioned against complacency in his side.
"Levelling the Test series does not mean we will win the one-day series," he added. "We will have to maintain the tempo but I think it will be very exciting cricket." *
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
In case and that case we have Younis Khan and Shoaib Malik for W-K, Khair the flaw I see is you are not using Akmal as an opener in your line up on sub continent wickets, not a good idea.
Team will be pretty much predictable …
- Butt
2)Malik - Younis
- Youhanna
- Inzi
- Razzaq
- Afridi
- Akmal
- Rana
- Sami
- Nazir/ Rao/ Hafeez (Kaneria I dont see him playing is coz Chacha prefer someone who can bat and bowl)
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
No Shoaib Malik did. I read it in Nawa-e-waqt that Shoaib Malik kept for majority of the innings after Kamran complained about his problem very early in the match.
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
Saby baji, 'S Sriram' was run out by akmal and that happened at the end of 24th over .. meaning he kept the stumps atleast for more than half the inning .. my point being keh you are wrong :p
acrobi, I don't think they will play him as an openor just bcuz they have quite a few choices for openors .. and I didn't prefer him as an openor cuz I don't remember him ever opening =\ .. and kineria should bowl as a permanent bowler in the team to maintain consistency aur waiseh bhi i am sure nazir and rao can't bat either .. and ermm hafeez as the 11th batsman? how that happens?
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
Yes Tanhayaan he did open the innings many times and was successful opener, well Kaneria I know he is an outstanding bowler but I just dont see him there, 2 leggies Afridi and Kaneria doesnt sound like a right combo.
Oh haan as for hafeez he is there like I said earlier coz Chacha Woolmer likes him, I hope he performs otherwise its curtains for him after the series
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
Hafeez sucks, if anyone can remember him from australia, he was as bad as Taufeeq was this series. Malik can be a opener, God knows he's used to being out there pretty early being Pakistan's one down batsman!
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
Bro. Hafeez is a dead horrible batsman. Maybe even worse than Taufeq Umar (if possible). But he is a good bowler. Maybe even could make the ODI team as a speacilist off spinner. Thats why he will likely play.
