Re: Final 11 for Leeds
I don't care how many changes they make I dont want to see Taufeeq or Sami in the team. I would rather have Kaneria opening the batting rather than Taufeeq.
These should be the changes,
Sami out, Nazir in
Razzaq out, Samiullah in
Forget batting, we need to strength out bowling line up as we are yet to bowl out England in 2 test matches. Razzaq hasn't done anything with the bowl or bat, and I have never wanted to see him in the test team anyway and he has proved me right. He's half the bowler he used to be and his batting is no where near good enuff at the test level. We should only have one all rounder in the team untill Malik comes back and that should be Afridi.
Even though I think Faisal Iqbal deserves to be given a long run due to his impressive performences, unfortunetly, due to him being a middle order batsmen, he has no place in the team right now. You cannot replace the combo of Younis, Yousuf, and Inzi with likes of Iqbal. So, untill Inzi retires, he's gonna have to sit out...unless he wants to open.
Opening has always been our problem, no matter who opens, the result stays the same, so lets stick with Butt/Farhat. Our main problem right now is our bowling due to the injuries to our top 3 bowlers. Imagine Australia without Mcgrath, Lee and Gillespie/Kasporwich. Lets hope Nazir brings in the much needed dicipline to our bowling line up as he is known to be deadly in helpful conditions.
Starting 11
