Its ridiculous that people want Hafeez or Asad out after one game performance but no one pointing out at Kamran or other players. Did anyone actually watch the game how ball was swinging, seaming off pitch???

I just don’t want to see Akmal brothers in the team, they have contributed what they could now their ‘best before’ use day has passed.

OK I am probably being a bit harsh on Asad. I don’t think they w’d drop him after just one game (hope he makes me eat my words in this game..) but the batting order is just not right. Misbah needs to come in at 1-down or 2-down. And Afridi w’d never drop Kamran Akmal

On second thoughts this should be the team

Kamran Akmal
Ahmed Shehzad
Misbah-ul-Haq
Asad Shafiq
Younis Khan
Shahid Afridi
Abdur Razzaq
Wahab Riaz
Sohail Tanvir
Abdur Rehman
Umar Gul/ Shoaib Akhtar

@Ajju

Get rid of Kamran and Umar Akmal. Rest are fine.

You Do have a point but I don’t think they will drop Kamran Akmal because he is in Afridi’s good books

@gold4lyfe

afridi shud only open

This shud be the batting order i know it wont happen cus waqar is too stupid to try anything new.

Afridi (even if he can get quick 30-40 runs and power plays suits the way he plays)
Misbah ( he is in good form so why wait. i dont want to see hafeez with another 0
Abdul Razaq
Umar Akmal
Ahmed shahzad
Younis
Kamran Akmal
Abdur rehman
Wahab riaz
Sohail tanvir
Shoaib akhtar

Why no Umar Gul? The problem with this batting order, with all the big-hitters coming up the order, is that there will be no one left to make good use of the second (batting) power play
