Re: last warm up match Pakistan V England

Why was this guy given 10 overs when Abdul Razzaq is normally given 6 overs:

Bowling O M R W Econ
Shoaib Akhtar 10 0 62 1 6.20

Junaid K was much better than him atleast.

@anamkhan

its all over guys! now we know how important afridi and razzaq are for the team! and I don’t understand why they didn’t send shehzad for opening! lots of drastic changes in this warm-up, I wonder why?

Don’t worry, it was just a warmup match, lots of experimentation was done in this.

Nothing new - we always collapse when we chase.

Secondly, Umar Akmal is a big worry in my book. He seems all at sea unless he comes in during the power plays and can start slogging away.

I don’t like Umar Akmal too, he seriously needs whipping

That was infact weird, asking Shoaib to bowl all 10 overs in a side match, unless they wanted him to get injured and be sent back

England played full strength while Pakistan experimented. So don't read too much into it. Junaid was impressive, shoaib should be on the bench permanently. Both akmals were dismal but Younis coming into form is a good omen for Pakistan.

Re: last warm up match Pakistan V England

Good find that Junaid was given a chance and he took 3 key Pommy wickets -
Its a very very good thing...
He needs to be introduced into the main starting games for sure...

Good sign - YK scoring against big team attack of POMs.....again...

and now Kammy should be shut in a cage since he was given a chance to open like the ooooold days and he failed.....Ahmed to open with Hafeez should be fine...
