I think Pakistan should go with shoaib, rana-sami, gul for this match if the grass stays on the wicket! Rana can swing it so can gul! also i think now razzaq should be played! that is a formidable line up, this attack along with afridi and dani can get us 20 wickets! Inshalah!
Re: Pace Attack!
At least our dear old Asif can find a place in that lineup somewhere, I'd reckon?
Since Shoaib is declared to be fit, I would replace Sami with Asif, and we are business.
Re: Pace Attack!
i think in a big pressure game u need rana or sami!
Re: Pace Attack!
Well, I am not disputing the inclusion of Rana. I defended him before (over Razzaq), and quite rightfully, I think he definitely should be included in this one as well, hands down.
What I am suggesting is the following:
Mohammad Sami
12 **1** 67 0 (4nb) **5.58
**Mohammad Asif
34 **6** 103 1 (3nb, 1w) **3.03**
:)
Re: Pace Attack!
im throwing my wieght behind sami, i really feel he can deliver and that too with a bang!
Re: Pace Attack!
I do believe we have been hearing that for the past three (3) years. :)
Re: Pace Attack!
Sami is rested and he shouldn't be brought back till either Asif / Rana or Gul are injured or they start performing worse than Sami (which is highly unlikely).
Re: Pace Attack!
I agree.
Since the pitch is heavily expected to be advantageous to both sides of the wicket, I'd say we include Rana (who can make-up for Sami) and Asif (with his tight off-sidish line + length), and not Razzaq or bhatija Sami. It is about time we give the opportunities to some of the much deserved ones, and for the extended period of time as well.
Re: Pace Attack!
Sami has been given a lot of chances to prove himself, and he have failed each and every frikin time. Time to get over him and giver youngester Rana a chance. :)
My lineup:
-Shoaib Akhar
-Mohammad Asif
-Rana Naveed/Umar Gul
-Danish Kaneria
Re: Pace Attack!
That so reminded me of Waqar, and the jams he throws during his commentary. Never would he quit calling Rana a "youngster".
Re: Pace Attack!
Sehwag has personally told me that he loves Sami's bowling so I think Pak would be better off without him....;-)
I agree with akashur's selection of pace bowlers...I think they can do a good job for Pak team and is prbbly their best bet...
Re: Pace Attack!
Simple
Shoaib, Rana, Asif, Razzaq
Re: Pace Attack!
I think IMO
**Shoaib, Sami, Razzaq and Asif **
I know we all hate Sami equally but he will deliver on KHI pitch 
Re: Pace Attack!
I think Pak should go with
Shoaib
Rana
Asif
Kaneria
Razzaq
if they want to win....
Rana should come in for Shoaib Malik
Re: Pace Attack!
This should be the team....i hope
1 Salman Butt
2 Kamran Akmal (wk)
3 Younis Khan (vice-capt)
4 Mohammad Yousuf
5 Inzamam-ul-Haq (capt)
6 Abdul Razzaq
7 Shahid Afridi
8 Shoaib Akhtar
9 Rana Naved-ul-Hasan
10 Mohammad Asif
11 Danish Kaneria
Re: Pace Attack!
bhai, Pizza delivery ki baat nahi ho rahi idhar 
Re: Pace Attack!
Asif needs to be presisted with, he bowled really well in the last game and has made great strides as bowler since his debut. Sami has been given chances time and again and it's time for someone else to get a chance. rana hasnt been given as many chances in tets and he should be included as well if not then Sami can play on Rana's expense but not on Asif's.
