Re: 3rd ODI Pakistan Vs. India
We dont miss Shoaib as much in one dayers as we do in tests but nonetheless its a big loss but lets hope Rana can get his act together for the rest of the series because he has been our pace spearhead in one dayers.
Big loss for Pakistan but I agree that we can still perform well without him.
Lets hope Rana can repeat last year's performance.
It is going to be again a tricky decision for inzi after winning the toss at Lahore. According to cricinfo, teams batting first have won most of the time recently at Lahore.
Last time when we played with India during the '04 series, we tried both the options during the 4th and 5th ODI, of batting and bowling first and lost both the ODIs.
Anyway if batting first, the 'Boyz' need to score atleast 320 to give India a fight. Even in the second ODI we could have scored that after the failure of top order, if afridi and razzaq had added 30 runs each.
