Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India…2nd July 2008…
Pakistan announce their playing 11 for tomorrow:
Into this cauldron Pakistan hand a debut to Saeed Ajmal, the offspinner, and a second ODI to Abdur Rauf, that persevering domestic champion forever on the fringes of selection. Unlike Mansoor Amjad and Wahab Riaz, Shahid Afridi, on the verge of being dropped after the Sri Lanka game, retains his place. The decision to keep Afridi is one last punt, part-hope, part-hunch, after selectors had decided to drop him. “I have a feeling, nothing technical, that he just might do something tomorrow,” admitted one.

As i said lets hope for the best.
Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...
Selectors should drop Afridi and include in Mohammad Sami. He is forever on the fringes of national selection after being last dropped unceremoniously. Sami is on the peak of his career and his inclusion in the team will be a big boost for Pakistan. His ICL ban should be immediately lifted.
Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...
Dhobi_bhai, why was Mohammad Sami banned?
Dhobi_bhai, why was Mohammad Sami banned?
Because he played ICL which is not approved from ICC :)
Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...

Re: Asia Cup: Pakistan VS India...2nd July 2008...
I think Pakistan is in desperate need of a genuine allrounder. I think they should give Yasir Arafat a chance who is playing for Kent (in England) this season.
If i am the Selector i will lift the ban on ICL player my playing 11 would be as following tell me what you guys think, i really think if the team below play united and give their 100% we can beat anyteam including the likes of Aus and Ind.
1) S Afridi
2) Shoaib Malik
3) Y Khan (C)
4) M Yousuf ( VC )
5) M Haq
6) A Razzaq
7) Sarfraz Ahmed
8) S Akhtar
9) M Asif
10) S Tanveer
11) S Mushtaq
I think Saqlain is too old to play international cricket. We need to give more chances to Mansoor Amjad. Afridi cannot open any more.

PCB needs to lift the ban, not the selectors. I think we need Abdur Razzaq in the ODI team.

Well i think ur rite Mansoor Amjad will be a good replacement for Saqqi but i love his doosra man when he was onn back in the day he was good damn good but i do think Afridi can open when he wants and get some quick runs let him bat like he wants to hit anything he can even if he dont clear the boundry for six he will get 4 becuse of feilding restrictions thats the mans Power, for ex when sehwag does good @ teh top of teh order India is too hard to beat and thats where we shoudl have Afridi bat i dont think he is a lower order batsman, but the biggest losss for Pak team was A razzaq man that guy is good, he has won Pakistan Countless games with his bat and bowl i think he is a gr8 player damn politics got in the way and screwed him over,
So what do u say about this 11
1) Afridi
2) Malik
3) Y Khan ( C )
4) M Yousuf
5) M Haq
6) S Ahmed
7) A Razzaq
8) M Asif
9) S Tanveer / U Gull
10) S Akhtar
11) if spining wicket then M Amjad if pacey wicket then M Sami.

A Razzaq was a genuine all rounder and he was screwed for no reason...that's paki cricket for you.
