Most likely this is going to be the team for the match.
BTW this is the first time Pakistan will be playing an ODI with the new rules, however inzi has some experience as a captain since he captained the Asian XI back in August when the rules were recently implemented.
Hmmm! I wonder about Younis Khan though,,, is he match fit and ready from his trip abroad ?
These are my 3 concerns ,,, Danish Kaneria-Younis Khan-Mohd Sami
Instead they should have ,,, Mushi & Kaneria and Shoaib & Naveed to share the new ball
Yasir to replace Younis ,,,(at least for 1 game) Allah khair keray ,,
I donno what to do! I want to supporting for Pakistan because they are playing aginst the goras brits and I cannot support the britiesh team. But if Pakistan win this one also then they beome very strong (because confidence) when playing India. So what I do?
Why stick with Sami again??? Bringing in a better fast bowling option like Mo' Asif or Umar Gul won't hurt! Gul for one did well in the trial match against the seniors but wasn't named in the test & odi squads' respectively why? That team by TUMS seems spot on, althought I don't think Younis Khan should bat that low down the order.
^^ I think that spot is fine for him you cant move Moyo and Inzi, shoaib malik is performing well at 1 down and the only place left is opener slot or lower order, which can be a blessing since he is in Pakistani team, and a player of his mentality can be really good at that place, he likes to work out singles and during the death it can be pain everywhere for fielding side.
and having Razzay or any other batsman who can hit out of the park on the other end can work very well, though as Woolmer said they will start the "Experiment-O" in all honesty they need to find a balance just incase if few backbone players are (GODforbid) absent for any reason.
I think Shoaib should be rested, just yesterday on Geo Inzi had stated that it was doubtful for him to play since he had come back after 18 hour flight. Maybe he changed his mind.
Sami should be a given a go this ODI but if he doesn't impress I think it will hard pressed for him to keep his place in the side considering all the competition.
