Re: Group D - PAKISTAN vs INDIA (The Big FRIDAY match)
^ OK Misbah played well for once but think about this
Would we not have been better off opening with Imran Nazir and Kamran Akmal >>> Younis, Yousuf and Misbah >> Afridi and Shoaib Malik>> Yasir Arfafat, Sohail Tanvir (Actor if he was available), Mohammad Asif and Umar Gul.
I don't think Salman Butt (or even Shoaib Malik) is suited to this format of cricket but what can we do they are vice-captain and captain respectively. Butt we all know takes time to get going. He scored 16 runs off 25 balls yesterday (may be ok in a normal 50-over ODI) which is just not acceptable in twenty-20.
And Malik has done nothing of note so far to justify his elevation. I have always maintained that he's an average batsman but we Pakistanis overhype him like Afridi. Hafeez is also useless and over-rated.
