Congrats to Pak, lets start prapring for Semifinal vs either Aussies or India, here is my input,Mohali is a good batting track and a good spinning wicket so if we was to play India i would play Abdur Rehman with Afridi, Hafeez, also paceman will be Gul and Akhtar, if Aussies i would play both Ajmal and rehman and disclude Shoaib only Gul as a paceman, what do you guys think???
Re: Mohali Wicket
Akhtar needs to play. Wahab Riaz will be taken apart by Indian batsmen on today's evidence. I think Ajmal, Afridi and Hafeez are a good spin combo, we don't need any more.
Re: Mohali Wicket
wahab riaz is useless against experienced batsmen....gul,razaq,afridi,hafeez,ajmal......
Re: Mohali Wicket
I would like to see Rehman back. Ajmal bowled well today but windies had already crumbled when he came to bowl and were under intense pressure. Agree with Akhtar in place of Wahab.
Kamran
Hafeez
Asad Shafiq
Younus
Misbah
Umar
Afridi
Razzaq
Rehman
Gul
Akhtar
Re: Mohali Wicket
Wahab Riaz was most expensive Pak bowler against Australia & again today against WI. He was getting beaten up by everyone. His line was bad. The only thing going against Shoaib was that NZ game in which K. Akmal dropped Ross Taylor who then took apart Akhtar & Razzaq. So they can persist with Razzaq as bowler but not Shoaib? That baffles me. He alwasys gives us a good start. Use him in short 2nd, 3rd and 4th spells instead 2 over each.
Re: Mohali Wicket
For the big game I'll pick Shoaib over Wahab any given day...............I think Shoaib should play SF :)
Re: Mohali Wicket
Imran agrees, says Akhtar should play if Semifinal is against India.
Re: Mohali Wicket
If there is grass then we need Akhtar, but if its a spin-wicket which I suspect it'll be, esp if India plays, then there should be both Ajmal and A.R.Rehman.
For last two games, Abdul Razzaq has utmost bowled 4 overs in a game, so he can finish his 10 overs, Umar gul can hv 10 , rest should be divided in 4 spinners. We really dont need 3rd pacer if there is no life in wicket.
