Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
*Salman Butt, who made a dazzling century the last time the two sides met in an ODI, in the BCCI Platinum Jubilee game at Kolkata, should open, and Inzamam-ul-Haq hinted that the idea of using Kamran Akmal as an opener would be discontinued, allowing Shahid Afridi to return to the position from which he caused so much damage in the Tests. *
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
^ yeah I doubt kamran will play as opener...cuz I read that article too...so pretty much Hafeez will open with Butt...with Malik coming in at #3. I doubt they will open with Afridi...and if they do...they're making a big mistake like previous coaches did.
Also the probable 11 listed that article is totally wrong. There is no way Kaneria and Arshad will both play in the first ODI. I highly doubt that even one of them will play. Afridi and Hafeez are good enough spinners of ODI's with Sami, Rana, Razzaq.
As far as I think...this will be the playing 11:
Salman Butt
Mohamad Hafeez
Shoiab Malik
Inzamam-Ul-Haq
Yousuf Youhana
Abdul Razzaq
Shahid Afridi
Kamran Akmal
Rana Naveed-Ul-Hassan
Mohammad Sami
Iftekhar Anjum/Shahid Nazir
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
arshad khan willplay for sure instead of rao or shahid nazir…
Re: 1st One-day Pakistan-India @ Kochin - April 2nd (Merged)
^That is true. I dont think Rao will be usefull here at all due to his lack of speed.
We will h ave to work hard to limit the Indians to a score less than 300. If we play well we have a good shot at winning this series.
A few questions that remain to be answered include
1. Will Afridi or Hafeez be the second openor?
2. Will Rana play or Nazir?
I would play Afridi down the order,,, its worked against the Indians in ODIs in the past
Also I would rather play Rana because he can really bat. But some people are saying that Nazir will be playing
Likely line up
Hafeez
Butt
Malik
Inzi
Yoyo
Akmal
Razzaq
Afridi
Rana
Sami
Arshad
