Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
Azhar will be too jet lagged to play in the 2nd ODI. I would like to see the following team :
Imran Nazir
Mohammad Hafeez
Younis Khan
Mohammad Yousuf
Inzamam-Ul-Haq
Shoaib Malik
Shahid Afridi
Abdul Razzaq
Zulqarnain Haider
Rana Naveed
Mohammad Asif
This gives us 6 bowling options.
Pace - Asif, Rana, Razzaq
Spin - Afridi, Malik, Hafeez
Having Sami in the team won't help. Its not gonna get any worse than it did in the first game. So I would include an extra batsmen in Imran Nazir instead of a bowler.

Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
I somewhat agree that we should play Nazir and Zulqi. I would also like to play both Zulqi and Kamran. Kamran as a No. 3 batsman for YK. Give younis a rest for an ODI. He is a solid batsman and can come back strong at will. With Nazir, Hafeez and Afridi we will have enough fire power. If Azhar is to give a chance and is not jet-lagged then we can try this.
Kamran
Hafeez
Nazir
Yousuf
Inzi
Malik
Afridi
Azhar
Rana
Zulqi
Asif
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
Kamran Akmal 
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
If we are not ready to try another wc as it clearly looks from the team management, why can they rest Akmal and ask Younis or Malik to keep wickets in one days.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
This is a very crucial game of the series, Pakistan has to go for the win. They must play their starters and give their best. I think if they come out with the same team, they will give a better performance and Inshallah win. Altough, Afridi first down is not good.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
well according to Jang, Mr Zulqi is being sent home as selectors have decided to put their faith in Kamran Akmal once again ... Also Azhar and Rao are flying from Pak and both of them will not be able to make it for 2nd ODI, so it seems like we might see the same team with the chances of a new opener maybe.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
Looks like the flights between PAK to SA and back are packed with Pak Cricketers these days.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
esp if they are anything of Azhar’s size 
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
Pakistan take a leaf out of Englands book. They were being wooped and are suddenly fighting back with a place in the CB series final.
Ooay.....ganday bachon.....seedhay ho jao...
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
yeah their [ENG] ghubara will be deflatoon soon by the high n mighty aussies in the finals…:k:
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
wasim bari is going to S-Africa will he enforce the captain and coach to rest Akmal and play Zulqy? or will we see the same or pretty muc the same team that played the first ODI
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
Didn't I read some where that Zulqarnain is on his way back. Gosh, with all the comings and goings the airlines must have done roaring business at the expense of our higly unfit team.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
What :konfuzed: Zulqy going back?

Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
Dont worry guys, the Saffie Specialist Mahmood and the hidden fast bowling gem Rao are coming to save the day.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007

Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
They should also include Saleem Elahi as SAffie specialist.
Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 2nd ODI, Feb 07 2007
It's been a few hours now and we haven't heard of yet another player getting injured. Ya Allah khair kahin hamari team ko fit rehnay kee bimari na lug jaye.
