Centurion wicket is going to be VERY different than this wanderers one. Thats why we WILL need Ajmal's variety there. It is going to be tough but Asif should not play in this match but if he HAS to, Rana is the only one I see getting dropped. Nazir should make merry on that pitch but he didnt help his cause today so lagta hai woh bhi gya.
Agree with you 100%. Ajmal could be the factor in our bowling lineup we need on a placid pitch. Indian definitely will have a game plan against an ill prepared Asif. We know he could easily go for runs during the death overs. With no match fitness he could become a big liability in that game.
Unfortuntely Nazir didn't help his cause today and made the choice easy for the final 11 on Saturday (assuming younis is fit to play).
As far as Omar Akmal goes, I just want to say, Mashallah, allah nazar na lagiey. The guy can play in any condition against any opponent.
