**2nd Test: England v Pakistan at Birmingham **
Aug 6-10, 2010 (11:00 local, 10:00 GMT)
After suffering their 2nd worst loss lever they’ve called Mohammad Yousuf back. Will his inclusion change the fortunes for Pakistan, we’ll have to wait and see.
I like to bring Fawad for Malik, Ajaml for Kaneria, Hameed for Amin.
Come on Pakistan!

GoldenAsif should open the thread.. he said his success rate is 90% or something.. :@:

^ It it means Pakistan victory, GA is welcome to open every Pakistan's match thread from now on. :)
Re: Pakistan v England - 2nd Test - Aug 6-10
i can't find his post jahan he said aise :(
The should bring in Fawad for sure but skipping malik may not be a good idea as they need some experienced players at this moment.
They need to make atleast 2-3 changes to let the moral of team going otherwise it'll be another slaughter.
Yousuf is coming, but I'm not sure what impact he can make. He is going to play after a long break in which he was busy in his domestic activities, not cricket. Um.. still if he manages to stay on wicket for some time and make 30-40 runs, its worth giving a shot.
He wants to protect his record.

Re: Pakistan v England - 2nd Test - Aug 6-10

Re: Pakistan v England - 2nd Test - Aug 6-10
ehsan, since we’re in your neck of the woods, any info on what kind of a wicket we can expect? 
Guys, Fawad Alam is not part of this test team and neither is he part of the Pakistan A team that’s touring Sri Lanka. They need to play Yasir Hameed but I dont think Salman Butt will make that change. I think that they should go in with 4 seamers, try Tanweer Ahmed for Kaneria open position. Also, this will not happen either but Kamran Akmal needs to be rested but he is VC so that will not happen either. Being VC, He is part of the tour selection committee as well.
This is the squad list.. http://www.cricinfo.com/england-v-pakistan-2010/content/squad/464045.html Only other batsmen is Yasir Hameed. But now also Yousuf is added.

*So if we win this match...... Yousuf won't be selected for 3rd test?

Re: Pakistan v England - 2nd Test - Aug 6-10
We are not gonna win with this batting lineup for sure. They need a proper batting coach first of all and someone needs to tell them to show some pride and guts in losing. And everyone is right Yousuf, will not make a difference to winning or losing. He needs to play the warm up game and then based on form/fitness be given the chance. I know class is permanent, but still who knows if he even has lifted a bat since the last test in Australia.
it is not a bad pitch to bat on, that is if you have a batting line up. For the first time since I moved to UK and that is around 40 years ago, I won’t be going to the ground to watch a match involving Pakistan and played in Birmingham.
well I will be busy on friday, on saturday I am in london attending a wedding and the match will be over by sunday anyway.
