Re: 4th ODI - Pak vs WI - Multan Cricket Stadium - Dec 13th (D/N)
I don't think they would change the openers just for the sake of experimenting. If Afridi plays (he's more likely to do anything worthwhile during the powerplays) he should bat at 1-down. I know Farhat and Hafeez have wishy washy techniques (Hafeez slightly better in that regard) but they have done a decent job so far in the tests and one-day series. Both threw their wickets away yesterday. Farhat seems to have a mental aberration every time he gets to a decent 30-40. If Inzi does n't play then Razzaq ( seniormost + Inzi's favourite) will get the captaincy.
But it's going to be a tough call in the absence of Inzi and the two Y's. Lara is not going to fail in every game. He is due a big score and Multan may just be the place where he finds some form with the bat.
