Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

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.

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

I don't know why Malik wants to play despite the jetlag and Inzi has agreed to play him.

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

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 ,,

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

Do you want Mushi to replace Sami? I’d rather suggest Asif or Iftikhar or even Yasir Arafat.

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

2morrow match team 99.9%
1. Salman Butt
2. Shoaib Malik
3. Younis Khan
4. Inzamam
5. Yousaf

7. Kamran
8. Rana
9. Sami
10. Shoaib
11 Danish

Supersub will be either Hameed/Arshad depending on how wicket is 2morrow's morning.

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

I dont think so jetlag is much of a concern since he was traveling east and back to west, and I think he has 10-12 hours to get better

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

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?

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

:slight_smile: sabar karo merray bhai…

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

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.

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

^^ 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.

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

Akhtar not playing according to Geo :D

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

odis just have to be on the week of exams :bummer:

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

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.

Re: Pakistan Vs. England 1st ODI

How much time to go?
