This just shows that either Yousaf Youhana or Inzimam need to stay on the crease when we are chasing until the end. But we need good openers. Its good that different combinations are being tried right now. Hopefully we can come up with some long term solution for opening.
Over all a very good win.
Maybe we should drop off Yasir Hameed and take Imran Farhat as an opener.
Imran Farhat has some serious problem in judgement. He is a big time parchi. Having said, he has talent too, but he cannot be in the team where we have other candidates who are performing in the domestic cricket consistantly. We need to give Salman Butt some more chances. He ain't that bad and looks confident. With experience he can be groom into a nice reliable opener.
^ I agree... its high time we give someone else a chance... I think Imran's had ample opportunity to prove himself... time to move on.
This Butt guy seems like he may be able to do the job - we just need to play him against formidable opponents regularly to nurture his talent and not be hasty in switching him.
butt got out in the same style when he was dismissed against zimb... closed the face of the bat and the ball just went up and it was an easy catch... i think if he can fix that he'll be great because he can play some amazing shots on the off... but i havent seen much from him on the leg side... anyone else notice he talks to himself before he faces every ball?
I thought I was the only one who noticed that…but it does seem like he talks to himself before every single ball ![]()
yah maybe he’s reading du’aa or something? haha anyways i was expecting ramiz raja or some jobber to make a wisecrack about his talking to himself… but yah he does talk alot to himself
