Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Twenty20 International @ Colombo - Wednesday, August 12

^ Interesting comments

52 runs is still a big margin of defeat in ODIs never mind T20

I thought Imran Nazir played a few good shots. He has power and his chipped shots over long on were quite deliberate I believe. They may not be very aesthetic to watch but they were mighty effective. Sometimes you have to play like that in ODI/T20 in order to clear the field when all but 2 fielders are inside the circle. Malik played a couple of cracking straight drives as well. Not sure about Yousuf in T20 (Kallis proved SA and everyone wrong though in recent World T20) but Fawad could always come into the side in place of either Malik or Misbah.

Some of Rana's inswinging yorkers remind me of Waqar and he probably deserves to be in the side in ODI & T20 right now. Rao has bowled well on occasions but I don't think he w'd be playing once Gul and Asif are both fit and available.

Aamer has done well so far. He is still only 17 and this was only his first full tour. He is no Akram but he seems a much better prospect to me than Sohail Tanvir. Let's see how he develops over the next few years...with extra muscle mass he should gain a yard or two in pace.

Not sure about Afridi 29 (unofficially probably 32 or 33 atleast!!) as test captain. First he has to cement his place in the side as a batsman or bowler. Younis 31 can still go on for another 4 or 5 years (in tests atleast)
