Re: If Shoaib Akhtar does play
okay so who is opening with Gul? Razzaq? or a spinner…
I’ll tell you Sehwag and Sachin will hit the spinner easily…
If Shoaib plays, his best use is to open with Gul…full, fast, inswinging to Sachin or rib case bouncer to Sehwag…
today Sehwag even left a free hit bouncer…shows that he has a mental block in relation to bouncers…will not play it or play it wrong…
However, I don’t think using him more than 4 overs in the beginning will be a wise choice. He should be used like the game against SL…
