So guys, on tuesday i hope we will have another nail biting encounter between these two wonderful cricketing teams…
What change(s) in your opinion should Pakistan make? if any?
I would hope to see Afridi back in place of one of the openers and Bring in shabbir in place of Rana Naveed though he bowled well after his first over. That would give us our sixth bowler but the batting would be sorta short.. Though on pakistani pitches even a mediocre player can do wonders
Remove the extras from the score card and we would've won the first match too. Its not the players that need to be changed but the way they are playing that needs changing.
Even if we bring in Shabbir in place of Rana sahib, and Shoaib and company keeps on giving extras in charity, we'll lose.
i think shabbir shud be brought instead of sami 
replace naweed with afridi....
I agree with CP. The difference between the two teams was the extras. We would have won comfortably if it wasnt for those extras which not only resulted in 26 odd wides and no balls but also meant that we had to bowl 4 extra overs. This is an area which needs to dealt with urgently.
Apart from that the only changes I would make are as follows:
Drop Naveed and Imran.
Bring in Shabbir and Afridi. (Yes I am saying Afridi). :)
The only reason I am saying Afridi is because it gives us depth in bowling. Our bowling attack in karachi was a joke with only two regular bowlers.
^^ agree with u, y'day we really lacked 6th bowler, but dropping imran :(

han, yeh tu hai
I just came back from I-8 Markaz and noticed the flood lights in Pindi Stadium switched on. Either the Indian or the Pakistani team is practising there right now. 
Like Ehsan I am going to have to eat my own words and back a recall for Afridi but not at the expense of Farhat, I would prefer to see Younis Khan dropped. Yes he played well in Karachi but as usual he failed to go on and take charge when it came to the crunch. Nothing has changed he's still only a player who can fiddle a tidy 30-50 runs in the middle of the innings which all players are capable of at that stage of the innings.
On a flat pitch against Indian bowling Afridi is capable of hitting over the infield which is basically all Sehwag does. Shabbir has to come back in place of Naved ul Hasan to add some quality to the seam attack. I am confident Sami will bowl better in Pindi and Shoaib will continue to menace the Indian top order.
hmmm im lookin forward to this even tho thers no way im gonna catch it....but yeh shoiab and inzamam do good than yeah theres a good chance....but wow there is a lot of suspense....both teams deseve a lot of credit, they are doing really well

Sehwag is a much better player than Afridi.. the only thing common between the two is that they are both aggressive.. Sehwag is a much better player technically.
i think you are quite right:k: :k: :k: 
i think yasir has to be dropped usne kuch bhi nahi kiya
:kaboom: yasir 
:rocketup:
I think our openers are quite alright. We should give them one more ODI and see what they does.
Before the 1st ODI everyone (including me) was talking about our bowling is that and our bowling is that, but they really let us all down. Bring Shabbir and Afridi back, and drop Naved and Shoaib.
i beg your pardon Mr.Arun, sehwag is no match with afridi:snooty:
u shud’ve got their autos 
Shabbir should play but should not replace Sami...
Shahid Afridi should also come in for Hameed...
what are you doing here:smack2:
India has to shore up the bowling with atleast one genuine bowler. Have they brought any with them? Even if not, India is not that far away and they should be able to fly somebody in.
