Can we equal score of last inning?
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
The team tried but some need to be sent home without a breath.
Imran Farhat.
Rauf Khan
Faisal
Please send Replacement for Mr. Khan and Mr. Iqbal. Promote Malik to open or send him home if he shows issues.
Get Younis in at 3. Put Misbah on bench.
Keep sami for pace option. Get Gul back in and play 2 spinners in next game, kaneria and saeed.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
How many overs left for today?
70?
We wish 
Actually I don’t wish for Malik to be part of the team (atleast test format), I’d rather have someone like Yasir Hameed.
Only 69 overs.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
^ Well all those wholesale changes might not happen, hence I was suggesting Malik in the opener slot...
but again, us drawing room fans....we can suggest as much as we can , but PCB won't listen...
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
someone please tell Kamran Akamal that is not indispensable. He did the same before he did it again .... your team need you to stay at he wicket and you are going half way down the wicket o hit our of the ground .....
for next test, I'd replace
faisal with younus
rauf with gul or sami
ajmal with Kaneria
and misbah with Shoaib malik ..... misbah is in no better form than Malik
we really missed the 5th bowler.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
^ no don't replace ajmal...add him with kaneria...
Asif,
Aamer
Gul/ Sami
Ajmal
Kaneria
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Heck just to try i'd give fawad another chance...
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Wow, we made it to lunch day 5, kudos to our team 
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Pakistan 249 /8 at lunch
177 needed with 2 wickets in hand...
can they get another 100? :D
that would make the loss less miserable...
250 team has reached its target. Anything more would be a bonus.
And who will be 5th bowler?
malik .... 5th part timer .. with Kaneria as a genuine leggie and then malik can easily occupy the crease as long as Misbah can .....

With Yousuf as captain, there is less than 5% chance he'd utilize anyone other than regular bowlers.
^ no don't replace ajmal...add him with kaneria...
Asif, Aamer Gul/ Sami Ajmal Kaneria
adding ajmal will take out one more batsman n u know how much out batting is weak
Yes kudos to the fighters…
Umer Akmal
Salman (yes he did try this time) although his natural defficiency did him in
MoYo
Kamran… and
even
Faisal…his 48 were decent enough..
And
Specially Aamer for bringing pakistan back into the game…and giving the team half of a chance…

absolutely....MoYoline means textbook style and textbook which is 100 years old with dust on it...
so that is true..
plus I doubt Malik has been brought to play...its more of a slow death he is being put through...
Only chance he has is to raise his hand for opening....in my humble opinion.
Re: Pakistan v Australia 1st Test Melbourne , Dec 26-30
Imran Khan would never have gone in with 2 bowlers and an off spinner as a winning combination.
You need a leg spinner, 4 quality bowlers, dependable openers, solid one down and a brilliance for captaincy. It's just a shame.. we almost did it without the winning ingredients.
its not just doing that bowling change 
its a wholesale changes in batting, so the premise is that the changed batting line would be fine with strengthened bowling..
Farhat out…need replacement …maybe Fawad Alam or Malik
Faisal out…Younis in…
Yes kudos to the fighters...
Umer Akmal Salman (yes he did try this time) although his natural defficiency did him in MoYo Kamran... and
even Faisal....his 48 were decent enough..

please take Kamran out of the list ..... thankyou. I have started to hate him the way he throw his wicket in Test matches. He is no a teen ager playing his first 4-5 games any more (like Umer Akmal).
