good point bro, I almost forgot about Yasir .
Yeh Taufiq looks a little quite and dull. shaid out of form ho
:D

Taufiq is gaining confidence now. The selectors had screwed up by not playing him in the ODI's after he had put up a good show in the trial match. No point in bringing in Imran Nazir at this stage. He is out of match practice and he is impatient as an opener, particularly in test matches. I feel Taufiq will score now. The only change will be for Umar. It will be either Fazle Akbar or Rao Ifthikhar. I only hope Inzy keeps a third man for Sehwag.
KARACHI: A car bomb blast near the club, where Indian singer Sonu Nigam was performing, rocked the sensitive Defence area of this metropolis killing at least one person and injuring two others seriously on Saturday night, eyewitnesses said. According to initially available details, a car parked outside a Golf club adjacent to the Mareena club, where Indian singer Sonu Nigam was performing, blown with a big bang causing prompt death of one passerby and injuries to two others. The explosion caused horror among the audience of the music concert in Mareena club. However, Inspector General Police Syed Kamal Shah while talking to Online said that according to his information there was no killing in the incident, however three persons got injured severely. He further said that explosion took place at the security checking point. However, he could not ascertain weather some one was driving the car or it was parked earlier. According to police the car, which was blown up in the incident was snatched from Gulshan-e-Iqbal town some days ago.
I think Pakistan should go with Rao Ifikhar, from what I have heard he is alot like Glenn Mcgrath and bowls very good line and length, isnt as fast as Sami and is pretty much like Gul, and if he can bowl like Gul did, he can create some troubles for Indian batsmen. Indians have always have problems facing Mcgrath or other bowlers like him, Gul also created problem for them cuz he bowled very good line.
My Team is
Taufeeq
Imran
Yasir
Inzamam
Youhana
Asim
Kamran
Sami
Shaoib
Rao
Kaneria
these r apparent signs, its’ a fix, how come all of a sudden, all key players get injured… {moin + razzaq + shabbir + gul + and now supposedly sami who had the back injury all series} this is no mere coincidence this whole tour has been ****** ** from the start, & now we’ll lose the 3rd test to prove to india and wobbly knee’s how FRIENDLY we r *
I would rather Pak play their full-strength team and India give them a Multan-ish dhulai...
Does anyone know if Buckor would be officiating in the 3rd test... if he is......... well...congratulations Pak on winning the series 2-1.
btw, I feel sorry for Akash Chopra... Bucknor, by showing him the finger, in the second innings at Lahore may have derailed Akash's career.
I dont think the plan to have Yuvraj open with Sehwag is a good one. Chopra is the perfect foil for the aggressive Sehwag. And now, we are going to have two attacking batsmen open the Indian innings and that too in a test match....the 3rd test in my opinion is too important to try out a new combination for the opening slot...
Also, Akash Chopra is an outstanding fielder at forward short leg plus I do not have high hopes from Gangu .

Go...read my posts in the 2nd test thread... Even before the match had started, I had said that ICC should do something about close LBW decisions.
Irrespective of which country is at the receiving end, I feel that LBW decisions today depend largely on the state of mind and the mood of the Umpires at the time when the bowler appeals for LBW -so there is a tremendous amount of luck involved which is not good for cricket.
Bucknor simply refuses to give plumb LBWs at times. He is not necessarily biased but may have become incompetent due to the age factor. For a bowler, like Anil Kumble, who gets many of his dismissals in LBW, this is not a good thing.
