Thanks to the Allah, Pakistan is win this match with 7 wickets.
The boys played well, especially the Younis Khan and the Salman. Pitch play good for batting.
We field 13 players and then get 3 run-outs, so in real match I hope we field 11 player and get 1 run out. In bowling department good performance by boys. Not give a lot of extras and free hits.
In batting, the Salman played well, also other boys find form.
Inshallah hope best for next matches and inshallah Pakistan win series in India backyard.

^ I mean...I can understand visiting teams taking it a bit easy in side games and bowling non-regular bowlers....but this game was just 9 overs old when Younis Khan was called upon to bowl (as first-change bowler). It did not seem as if the reason was to rest the regular bowlers.

^ Absolutely. If it wasn't for that one century he would have been out of the team long ago. Hopefully he will give our slip fielders some much-needed practice in the coming games.

so Butt and Nazir to open in 1st ODI now? Akmal back to his old spot i.e 6/7?
if Butt and Nazir are to open with Akmal coming late in the order, then Pakistan have to reduce their bowling options.
Assuming that Younis, Yousuf, Malik, Misbah, Afridi will be coming in between the 2 openers and the keeper, this will allow Pakistan to play with 3 fast bowlers i.e. Shoaib, Gul and Rao. In that case the 10 overs for the 5th bowler will be shared among Malik and possibily Younis. May be thats why Younis was getting some bowling practice today, hmmmmm........
Did you guys notice Misbah scoring 39 from 93 Balls in this tour game today? What the Heck was he doing?
I think drop Misbah & bring in Fawad Alam and thats your 5th bowler & Malik can be the 6th. Younis Khan is gonna be hit all over the park by the Indian team.

Butt scores once again in a practice match. He needs to deliver in the international arena. I do hope he is given a chance now; he is good enough to be our opener for a while.
