Champions Trophy - Pakistani bowlers ??

**Suddenly … we have way too many bowlers …

Who you think from following list can make it to final 15

  1. M. Aamer (A promising youngster)
  2. Rana Naveed Ul Hassan (He recently performed well with both ball and bat)
  3. Umer Gull (Though he didn’t performed well in Lanka … but we all know what he is capable of)
  4. Razzaq
  5. Ajmal
  6. Mohammad Asif (Yeah … he is back)
  7. Shahid Afridi
  8. Rao Iftikhar Anjum (He took 5 wickets in last match against sri lanka)

Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistani bowlers ??

I would play Amir, Gul and Asif as fast bowlers, Ajmal as spinner and razzaq and Afridi as all rounders.

My line-up w'd be

1- Imran Nazir
2- Kamran Akmal (w/k)
3- Younis Khan (c)
4- Mohammad Yousuf
5- Umar Akmal
6- Shahid Afridi
7- Abdul Razzaq
8- Mohammad Aamer
9- Umar Gul
10- Mohammad Asif/ Rana Naveed
11- Saeed Ajmal

Shoaib Malik, Misbah, Fawad and Rana Naveed-ul-Hasan make the Final 15 but not my first XI. Poor Rao Iftikhar Anjum might not even make the final 15 despite decent performances with the ball in the latter half of the series. But if the selectors did decide to drop either Malik or Misbah then he might still get in...

Might sound silly but if they were looking to strengthen the batting, they could always drop Asif (Rana, Aamer and Gul we all know can bat a bit as well) and include one of the three - Misbah, Fawad or Malik

Re: Champions Trophy - Pakistani bowlers ??

I am not satisfy with the performance of Pak Fast Bowlers. I still Miss Immi , Wasim and Waqar who finish the tail quickly but recently fast bowlers were struggling against tail as well. Pak will depend on its spinners .....

It's always good to have backup bowlers if you need them. I would like Sohail Tanvir in the squad as well.
