This match will detemind if england have to qualify for the world cup, it determinds how much embarassment they have to face when they come back to england. England are playing for pride.

Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Yeah! Looking forward to that with the series in the pocket already. :)
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
i do not think it is the world cup its the icc championship trophy :)
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Pakistan should press for win, they will be 2nd in the Ranking then 
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Love’in it , like’in it 
I don’t mind if you can add Date/time and venue as well :elmo:
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Any particular reason why the text is in alternating red and blue colour? And i believe England won the first match, so i don't think its possible for us to "whitewash" them.
But, with that said, i hope we experiment a little with our bowling line up and maybe rest Younis Khan and Mohammed Yousuf. I don't really care who wins or loses the last match but it would be sweet if we win even with an experimental lineup.
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
^ if we win the next game, it’ll be a big blow to England i.e. they will have to struggle to get back in top 6 ranks for ICCCT auto-qualification, also a win means we are 2nd to Aussies in ranking :k:
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Anyone think that they will drop a couple of regulars (Sami/Akhtar) to make way, and give the opportunities to Mohammad Asif/Yasir Arafat/(any others?)
I think they definitely should experiment it. We have nothing to lose, and everything to gain, so why not give someone else a chance to demonstrate their skills? After all, of all people, they can retain Arshad Khan in the team for his mighty decent performance.
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
^yes, and the best thing is that if you lose , you can always say that Pak were playing an experimental team - its a win-win situation really.
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
^ Couldn't agree with you more!
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Inzi has said that there will be a couple of changes. I am all for experimentation but I would love to see us finish 4-1 and rise to no. 2 in the rankings. Not to mention the fact that England will face the embarassment of facing Bangladesh and Zimbabwe to qualify :D.
I think Asif and Hameed will be given a chance with Shoaib and Inzi resting.
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Experiment at this one match magnitude will serve no purpose for any cause
Rather it would add to the team selection difficulties in future due to an array of
Talent Pakistan is blessed with. With Indian series just round the corner
It’s more important that we shy away from new comers at this point.
I like to see Pakistan with the same team and YES younis khan should be given some quality time off to grieve. Mohd Sami and Asif should be given alternative matches as the later can use some match practice ahead of any injury related replacement.
I hope we sustain this form and don’t let our guards down for ANY MATCH at any cost.
I believe Bob & Inzi are on this wave length as well.
:elmo::k:
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Thats wot i think Inzi means… we need couple of replacements to know their form and give them a little match practise too..
So far we still r not sure of the quality of our replacements… like other than Hassan Raza and Yasir Arafat we tried noone…
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Mohammed Asif should be played. Being hearing a lot about him, its a good chance to test him and see what he's made up of.
Pak does need another good fast bowler right now, with Shabira banned and Sami being a big dissapointment. Asif now has a good chance of proving himself and getting himself a spot in the team.
Apart from this one position we dont need to experiment much, everything else seems pretty much in shape, atleast in the ODIs.
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
i'd suggest the following:
sami <=> asif
salman/younis <=> yasir hameed
naveed <=> yasir arafat
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
I think we should go in with full guns blazing and win the series 4/1. What is with this attiude of experimenting. We are after the second ranking in the ODI table, so let's not relax. Go for the jugular and make it 4/1.
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Yeah! Aik goli do shikaar:
Pakistan would take the second position in the ODI rankings and England would go down.
So I fully agree with Ehsan Bhai on that. BEAT EM!
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
Latest News from Geo: Sami, Inzi, Akhtar will be rested with Arshad, Arafat, Hameed taking their place. I am guessing Asif will be super sub.
Our batting will be strengthened by the inclusion of another all rounder but the middle order will be a bit shaky without Inzi.
Re: Pak VS Eng 5th ODI
