@Captain1

^ Even Moyo and Inzi used to run away from 3rd and 4th spot and you want Umar Akmal to occupy that spot The only thing Umar Akmal needs is to occupy crease and have some focus on the game, when he can do that then he can be moved up the order. Inzi already pointed that out that ‘experienced’ batsmen should’ve been sent 1 down and 2 down positions instead of sending debutants/rookies. But then we are talking about bunch of butts at the helm

Pretty hypocritical if inzi is saying that considering he never wanted to play number 3 throughout his career despite being asked to do so by everyone…even Imran Khan kept saying he should be batting at 3 but Inzi never listened…later in his career he hid at 5 pushed Yousuf to 4.

So Inzi should be the last to talk…in this case since Yousuf has been sent to England they have to play him…so Butt,Farhat,Hameed,Yousuf,Akmal,Azhar,Haider,Aamir,Ajmal,Riaz,Asif is the team Id go with…

Out with Umar Amin for now…he needs more time. Malik should be dropped for good…at least from the test side. And Wahab Riaz is a pretty decent 3rd seamer…he’s also a lot quicker than Tanvir Ahmed.

@brahmachari99

Farhat, for the first time in his career is playing with some semblance of responsibility so he gets my vote. I don’t know how he got out in the 2nd Test, but the he played the best innings of his career against Australia, so I am hoping he’s carrying on in the same vein.

**Fawad Alam **not being in the Test squad is a shame. He’s gritty and would’ve been useful in lower-order batting.

I think this is the cricket politics issue of Lahore and Karachi I hate this politics

News is that Wahab Riaz Will Play Instead Of GUl

Re: Pakistan vs England, 3rd Test, Wed Aug 18 - Sun Aug 22

Wahab Riaz is a fast bowling version of Danish Kaneria...he may pick up a few wickets, but he gives away wayyyy too many runs.

Re: Pakistan vs England, 3rd Test, Wed Aug 18 - Sun Aug 22

I think they should try Sami as they are giving chances to umar akmal as well …he did nice bowl in Sydney test and quicker then wahab riaz but he is not in squad I hate politics in Cricket

Sami can go for runs and runs he cant bowl on one line just wali Asif

remember him in the last t20 cup

**Four players dropped for the Oval test.

haider and Gul due to injuries and the other two are Azhar and Umar Amin.

**I think they should have persisted with at least Azhar.

Ehsan bhai, is that confirmed report? I was hoping for dropping of either Shoiab Malik/Imran Farhat. Umar Amin has been a somewhat partnership breaker in the bowling department.

Yaari dosti bhi koi cheez hoti hay yaar, Shoaib Malik has his seat confirmed till 2015.

Re: Pakistan vs England, 3rd Test, Wed Aug 18 - Sun Aug 22

Shoaib Malik is useless. At least Azhar Ali showed some potential. Shoaib played over 30 test matches and still has no potential for success in tests. Wahab Riaz is gonne be another Mohamamd Sami, No line/length and leaking runs. I would have liked to see Tanvir.

Re: Pakistan vs England, 3rd Test, Wed Aug 18 - Sun Aug 22

Ehsan bhai, Geo was wrong. Shoaib Malik is out. Mithai batto bhaiyon.

Pakistan 1 Yasir Hameed, 2 Imran Farhat, 3 Salman Butt (capt), 4 Azhar Ali, 5 Mohammad Yousuf, 6 Umar Akmal, 7 Kamran Akmal (wk), 8 Mohammad Amir, 9 Wahab Riaz, 10 Saeed Ajmal, 11 Mohammad Asif

Shouldnt MoYo bat at No. 4 and release the pressure from Azhar Ali and make bat at 5? Thats the sensible thing to do.

Just read on cricinfo that malik has been dropped and Azhar is still in the team.

Re: Pakistan vs England, 3rd Test, Wed Aug 18 - Sun Aug 22

I think Butt will let Yasir hameed open with Imran farhat and he himself will come at two down.

Yousuf didn’t bat at #4 when he was captain so I don’t think he will bat at that position now.
