re: Pakistan Test Squad announced for Windies
so what is the story with junaid khan..we seem to have totally forgotten him…situation not looking good for him…if the guy has so much potential as claimed by our management when he was selected for the WC, why are not we talking about him for WI..prolly the best time to throw him in the ring…
younis shd be kicked out from ODI…but we need an anchor and shd seriously consider azahr for ODIs as well…before you start cursing me for saying that, have a look at his first class record in ODI matches
64matches 1786runs 47.00 average 5centuries 11fifties
kamran shd be done and dusted forever…if he ever plays, he shd play as a batsman…
i want hammad azam to be given a chance in place of razzaq in WI…this is the tour to try new players and groom them…razzaq claims 31 but he is already close to 35…his hand-eye coordination has seriously hampered plus the bowling speed has gone south as well…he may play some handy innings in WI slow pitches but he has passed his prime…
Misbah shd stay for both ODI and test matches and lead the test team
Omar gul really really needs to step up..after 8 years in the international cricket, they guy is still awfully inconsistent…and his test record is nothing but an embarrassment…he shd be a guiding force for new fast bowlers but he still gets lecture 101 on fast bowling form waqar younis…
We need a quality aggressive spinner for the test team as well….if rehman can serve, then he shd play consistently…somehow ajaml has been considered not good enuf for test matches…wonder why? But we need kaneria’s replacement in test matches
It would be logical for Junaid Khan to be selected and play but it is Pakistani selectors we are talking about. Hammad Azam should also be given a chance. Razzaq may stay to T20 only and open. For test spinner Kaneria could be good if Kamran Akmal goes away. I agree on Azhar Ali in place of Younis Khan in ODIs and limiting Younis to tests only. Shoaib Malik can be also be brought in ODIs and T20 only.
Is Mohammad Yousuf retired or is he just dropped/gone forever? He should still play tests and ODIs until some junior is groomed.
