Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

Flush Mohammad Hafeez and Salman Butt down the toilet. I have got a better opener for you. The ultimate Shehzad Khan. The next Jayasuriya in the making.

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

He’s played as one down player, but yeah we can try him sometime… lets call Bengladesh or Kenya to see if they can play with us, we can try some new players :smooth:

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

They should have the combo of Rana Naved and Sami for this match.. They are pick of the Paki bowlers

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo


pehle Sami ko ticket to de do Sri Lanka ke liye, bechara Lyari mai bowling karwa raha hai.

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

I would say Yassir Hamid should be brought back as an opener for Pakistan. Both butt and Hamid were doing great...

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo


So, essentially, retaining Salman butt for the last ODI is what you are leaning towards...?

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

yasir will definitely make his way back to the team,the question is will it be in time for WC?

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

yasir has been suffering from some real poor form. He was not even able to perform in the domestic matches. He has just scored 174 in last 6 matches with an avg. of 29 with 41 being the highest.

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

Stick to the match please. Leave the aunties alone :)

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

yes, even though he has few problems - yet there is no other person in the team able to handle the pressure of opening the inning and face the first ball.

on top of that he is novice, he will get better - throwing him off the team would make him feel insecure and is going to endup screwing his performance even further.

I hope so. He should be tried once again in ODI. His style of playing is very similar to Sa'id Anwers.

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

ah! that must be a Joke :rotfl:

Rana, balls short
Sami, balls full length
batsman, hits 4 and 6

Shoeb is good - but he has too many health problems, asif is doing great (for a starter).

I would personally prefer Sami over other fast pace ballers (exception Shoeb) but first he needs to learn how to pitch the ball in right area (i.e. a lil shorter length).

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

Sami eik gadha hai par yeah has potential.. shud practice a lot in Layri b4 coming to international arena.

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

they shud play the two spinners by sitting down salman n put malik to open, and rest rana/asif, cuz whats the point of bringing them if ur not going to let them do anything but carry drinks.

Re: Pakistan vs Srilanka- 3rd ODI Wednesday March 22-Colombo

Pakistan Won da TOSS and Elected to FIELD First!

Butt is out ... Farhat and Malik will open.
