First of all if you see I named Malik, Farhat and Kamran to go out and not new kids.
Secondly, isnt it double standards that biggest politicians (Malik and Kamran - who by the way did no even wait for NZ/Aus tour to finish to lash out in public) are still playing and not performing and two biggest performers are out? I'd select performing politicians over non-performing ones any day. So even by YOUR standards, Malik and Akmal should be out unless you have problem-for-sake-of-problem with Y2s
So you decide
If you say you dont want politicians in the team, Malik, Akmal and Farhat should be out too
If you say Y2s cant not play swing in england either, then you are totally wrong. They are better on any given day than Malik, Akmal and Farhat
In me, you won't find an iota of support for damad, malik or akmals based on their current performance/antics etc. All I am saying is that while the 2 Ys are away, lets just keep them away. And same should happen to these other non-performers as well but what control do "we" have?
The thing is Pak cricket is passing through the worst phase of its life. We're stuck b/w a rock and a hard place. Starting from late 90s an entire decade of mismangement, nepotism and lack of proper oversight has reduced the system to a sinkhole which does nothing but turns even the best of the best into garbage.
And whether 2Ys can play swing better in England right now, we can't be sure about that either. Granted they've better records there but to throw them in, in the middle of a series and expect them to hit the ground running would be a big blunder.

They both were going good and the partnership looks solid but in the end, fall of malik has now made things more hard for the Pak team ... Still trail by 247 runs !

Well I totally agree that its never good to replace players in the middle off the series but drastic times need drastic measures. Jack@$$ PCB was reading too much in last match victory over Aus. They should have sent Malik, Akmal and Damad back home to call Zulqarnain, and Y2s.
I feel for these youngsters (Azher and Amin). They were thrown in the lake and asked to swim across with no lifeguard on duty only when they have shown signs of being a good swimmer in pool.

Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2
I think Pak will survive the follow-on
Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2
These tail enders are batting better than our middle order batsmen.

Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2

Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2

Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2
Pakistan should continue playing in bad light they are used to playing in load-shedding
hahahahhahhaa
Lets see if they can save follow on or not
Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2
Lets hope and pray these two continue to avoid follow-on … Good batting by Gul … :k:
very close yet so far…
Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2
Kaneria gone, bowled by Broad ... 8 required to avoid follow-on !
Re: 1st Test Pak vs Eng - 2010 in Eng -Nottingham - July 29-Aug 2
Lets start the betting.
I wouldn't give too much credit to England. They collapsed this morning like a Pakistan team would.
The conditions are suitable for bowlers..if we can get them back into bat..that would be a good start. We will get back in this game!
As for Kamran Akmal..he was suppose to redeem himself from yesterday's ugly performance.lol!
