Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

Have you even seen him bowl, my friend? The guy is fine for ODI's; he will get spanked around in test matches.

Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

doesnt it bother you that people refer to you with "the"? "the game is right" "the game already said so" "the game is a shoaib supporter". feels so impersonal.

maybe u should change ur nick to a game, atleast then people would be forced to refer specifically to which game they are talking about.

Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

Rao is crap. Akhtar's absence is his own fault however. They may pick 2 spinners, dropping Rao for Abdul Rehman. I have seen Rehman ply his trade v WI in ODI's. He's economical, and gets sharp turn.

I'd much rather PCB go this route then select Rao.

Saffies are poor against spin.

He's not even fine in ODI's. He's a trundler, a 1 level up on Joginder Sharma.

Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

They may opt for Mohammed Hafeez, to "bolster" the batting-and make use of his offspin.

2 spinners is the way they will go, but the Q is AR of MH for the 2nd spot.

Looks like there going this AR route.

Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

I still don't know why we won't prepare a greeen top; our batsmen HAVE to learn how to bat and thus win on these pitches. Has the WC 2007 taught us nothing?

Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

salman butt is the vice capt.

Decent_6Chora · October 1, 2007, 4:35am

Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

I don't think there is any permanent VC and even if Salman is ...sorry to say, but he dont deserve to be in the team ahead of Faisal Iqbal and Taufeeq Umer

cadet018 · October 1, 2007, 4:40am

Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

so true …
but this is Pakistan … n u cant just drop VC like tht …
i was literally shocked when they droped him in 20-20 WC matches …
it was his bad’ua tht we lost against india:p

zafar2002 · October 1, 2007, 4:49am

Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

Is the match started yet and if it is I dont see it been shown anywhere in UK?

Re: Pakistan vs. South Africa (merged)

I am exteremly sorry to say but a little politics is in play. Both Kamran and Salman don't deserve to be in team. But there is too much of Sialkot and others for LCCA's liking. There is always pressure to have LCCA representation. M. Yousuf is just not enough, sifarshiye need to be in. Everyone know Salman's pawwa.
