Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
good team acrobi, i know dani will not be playing bcuz of his shoulder, or else i would have played him and had afridi as my super sub! but since dani will not be playing this is perfect time for us to reward youngsters like arafat who has done extrmely well in scotland and in pak against this very english team!
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
The team is obvious, Afridi comes in for Kaneria. The interesting thing would be the super sub. I would go for Arafat but I have a feeling we'll be seeing Arshad again.
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
who is going to be the super sub this time?
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
^ Where have you been. Welcome back, normally you are here during every series. I think it will be arshad again. 
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
She was in Pakistan, no?, I super-hope that it won't be Arshad .
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
*Found this on another forum. Reasons for Arshad being the supersub:

good depiction
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
According to latest Inzi interview on Geo, he says apart from the entry of Afridi there is NO change at all to the team.
Looks like all of us will have the privelege once again to witness the unrecognized genius of Arshad.
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
Arshad will take 3 wickets if he plays!!
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
Aren’t you the guy who said Sami will be the star of the series or something 
?
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
Jazba: Is he allowed to bowl 20-25 overs? 
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
yeaa, he did take a big wicket in that match, basically, i just dont like to agree with every1 else is saying, everying is saying Arshad sucks, so i will back him up! because im some1 who always thinks positive. every1 was crying about draw in the matches but i kept saying no we can win, thats cuz i like to think positive all the time. yea arshad isnt the greatest but since every1 is bashing him, ill support him, ihave nothing to lose!
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
Aray meray bhai, when you have 6 bowlers in the team already (Shoaib, Rana, Sami, Razzaq, Afridi, Malik), why would you need a specialist bowler as the supersub? Wouldn’t it be better to have another batting option instead (in case of Yasir Arafat, we have both bowling and batting options)? Think About It.
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
someone write a nice email to bob woolmer from his website www.bobwoolmer.com so it might get answered and posted in the coaching corner section. i would but i’m just so pissed that ill start swearing at him 
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
The team is incomplete without Malik, Razzaq, and Afridi. Now that Kaneria is injured, there will be no problem for Afridi to find a spot.
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
I don’t think Afridi would have been left out even if Kaneria was fit. He is an integral part of the one day team.
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
Yep Afridi is our Anil Kumble. 
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
Who also bats like Adam Gilchrist and fields like Jonty Rhodes.
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
I just saw the pitch, http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/pakveng/content/image/229491.html
Wow this is a hard, and I really mean a “hard” pitch, this is nothing like the usual pakistani pitches. Points to be observed are that there is only one pitch in the centre and the other pitches are greened up with live grass, which will generate more swing, regardless of the time. the roller used here is a light one which means there will be turn and spin as well, having said that I hate to say this :smack2: Arshad Khan will be our S-S again :smack2:
One more thing if you watch the pitch closely there are two grades of grasses(straw and live grass) on either end. I doubt that the live grass will stay there. This match will be fun. 
P.S: I can be wrong too :rolleyes: I wish I could see this pitch first hand.
Re: Pakistan Vs. England 3rd ODI
i think the toss want be that vital regardless who ever wins but i hate the deal of super sub because team winnning the toss really gets the adanvtage its like 12 players playing to 11 and england used the super sub very well in the first two one dayers. its great that finally a non asian team is playing in pakistan and credit to the security provided by pcb as 3000 policemen are used for pussy engalnd team who are afraid of the karachi city. finally a match is being played in karachi by goras and its great exciting for the people of karachi to watch the match plus its a national holiday in karachi. i hope the pathan afridi in his hometwon of karachi plays a big excciting knock with bat and ball. i hope its a great game as well and pak wins inshallah
