Now that we’ve won the third Test, it’s time to go for the series equalizer with all guns blazing.
The current combination worked pretty well, so I don’t see any changes unless necessitated by injury. If rumors of Younis’s recall are true, then it’d be difficult to find a place to fit him in. Good luck Pakistan!

Still 5 days to go, i wish it could be earlier
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
It would be unfair but if needed I would bring Younis for Hameed.
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
Younis can come in place of Hameed or farhat but if he is available than he must play.
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
I think we shoulkd stay with the current crop, it'd be unfair having that they've playhed their part in the victory, only to be dropped for the next match. That's no way of building for the future, this is a work in progress and just like past players failing yet given the time to change things around, so should these lot.
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
Farhat has proved he is not made for test cricket. He should pull out like Afridi after this series. I would like to see Umar Amin given a chance on a decent batting track.
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
^ better still. open with Salman Butt and Yasir Hameed (L/R combo is always better) and bat YK at one-down. Umar Amin can replace YK or MY after 2-3 years
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
Lord's has traditionally been a good batting wicket, so much work needs to be done between now and then by our top order, has its in this dept the game will be won and lost.
Although Farhat doesn't look comfortable opening, i dont think we should drop him altogether, perhaps just for this important match and agree brin in Umar Amin.
Is Zulquranain/Gul still injured? Any chance the latter may be recalled?
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
Yousuf scored double century last year at Lords i think
Hopefully will score another one ![]()
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
^ You got my vote there................:)
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
The currest Pakistan squad touring England…are growing to play on English pitches…especially the one who has never played in England before…
PS: I think…Pakistan will have an edge or upper hand in T20/ODIs series against England… ![]()
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
Of Course V r better than England in ODI …With Akhtar and Gul in reserves Pakistan will win the ODI and T20 Inshallah

It was the combined performance of Amir and Saeed Ajmal the previous evening that set up the victory as they hustled though England’s batting order once Alastair Cook departed for 110. **Amir became the youngest player to collect a five-wicket haul in England **when he ended England’s second innings with the fourth ball of the morning as Stuart Broad clubbed his pull to mid-on to complete a collapse of 7 for 28.

Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
is Zulqernain available? He should really replace Kamran akmal. i'd also have younis replace farhat
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30

Zulki is not availabe …If younis comes which looks not possible he can replace hameed
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
I don't think there is any chance of Younis coming back for the Test at Lords, if there is it is probably a slim 5%. But who knows this is Pakistan Cricket management we are dealing with....
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
Guys YK will come back for the ODIs not the 4th test.
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
i want to c asim kamal back in the side, lot of un justice has been done with dat lad... rest i think we should sitck with the side, they deserve it. Though imran farhat should be dropped, that fellow cant bat.
Re: Pakistan vs England at Lords, 4th Test, Thu Aug 26 - Mon Aug 30
Guys YK will come back for the ODIs not the 4th test.
yeah news is that he will be back for ODI's
