I am of the same opinion that if 8 batsmen are nto enough to save you the 9th is not going to make much difference. So yes drop Azhar and play Kaneria.
Also drop Shoaib and play Umar Gul.
But all this is academic as an unchanged team has been announced.

I don't agree, I think Shoaib can be lethal sometimes but I will not drop him, I will add Umar gull to add more variety into the mix. Azhar bowling wasn't impressive and we really don't need too many all-rounders, I think Hafeez & Shoaib Malik are enough Abdul Razzaq has taken few wickets so I will keep him. I don't understand why Rashid/Maindad didn't give Bilal Assad & Danish chance to play 2nd ODI?
Arey earthquake bahi you have every right to disagree but we need our leading bowler to be more than "lethal sometimes". We need someone like the two W's who were lethal 95% of the time.
Latif's comments are more or less psychological and nothing else so i wont bthr them that much. What am i looking forward to is how shoaib turns up tomorrow :D. And yes i would have dropped Razzaq for Danish or Umar but alas that wasnt ment to be....

Where are you going to find these bowlers? Do we have list of bowlers who can replace Shoaib & Sami ? We are not like Australia, our system is bul$hit, we need to improve domestic cricket so we can develop better players. Just Like NBA, Players join NBA from all different leagues, CBA, Spanish & Turkish Leagus, European....etc.
I suggest government or Private companies/sources should start private league from domestic & International level like ECC or Intercontinental Cricket league for developing countries

Thats not true, it starts at 5:45 EST, I remember last time it said 5:45 EST and I had to get up at 4:45 CST ane when I turned on the TV at 4:45 the match had started.
yeah it will start at 4 or 5 o clock.. est
khair i was watchin news it says that match will start on 2:25 pm pakistan time
so that will 4:25 our time i guess :)
I think the match starts at 5:30 eastern.
Because when I woke up @ 6:30 eastern, there already 10 overs gone by.
Just popped in to wish both teams the best of luck. Win or lose, England is still better 
p.s Match is starting at 10.30 here so I guess tahts about 5.30 for the americans(?)
Rain Delay.
The rain has stopped and looks like the match will start in an hour. The broadcast will start when the match starts. The match will still be played over 50 overs.
are you sure the match starts an hour late or is it hour from now.
i have woke up early so I get in.
The match will start at 11.30 UK time which is 6.30 New York time. Taht is the current news. It is not rainning anymore.
I think we might see Umar Gul for Razzaq, the only change in the team.
One thing I don't get about our think tank is why did they pick Razzaq over Bilal Asad for the first 2 matches while Asad was picked over Razzaq in the original squad.
