Re: Pakistan v West Indies - 2nd ODI

Another run chase choke, bundled under 200 yet again!!!

From 103/2 to 195 all out … Nil contribution from the late order as usual

Hafeez and Shafiq are weak links in the (batting) line up

Asad Shafiq needs to be ‘rested’ … should be replaced by Haris
Hafeez will probably stay (professor has just too many friends) … Either Hafeez bats at 7 or get him out of the team
One of the two Wahab or Asad Ali needs to go and be replaced with Junaid
Ahmed Shehzad needs to be persisted with

Even Nasir Jamshed could have done better … was dropped a few times but then threw his wicket away after getting to 50!
UA batted well … not sure why he has to wicket-keep to stay in the team

Top 4 should be Jamshed, Shehzad, Haris and Umar

This should probably be the team (Drop Hafeez, Shafiq and one of the two Wahab or Asad Ali)

Nasir Jamshed

Ahmed Shehzad

Haris Sohail

Umar Akmal

Misbah

Rizwan (wk)

Afridi

Wahab Riaz / Asad Ali

Ajmal

Junaid

Irfan

Yeah I mean Hafeez…I really hope Moin’s coming on as CS should put the microscope on this character…

If Misbah is our best choice for captain, then Umar Akmal would be a better choice of Vice captain (read that captain in training) since he is now the wicket keeper batsman, he will have the most valuable input as is normal for WKeepers.
