And I would also like to add that I dont believe that this rediff interview (or parts of it) were authentic either.
Re: Pakistan's ODI Squad announced.(Merged)
Saby then why u think he was axed, what is woolmer thinking on playing 6 ODI's with one regular opener...
r we going to experiment with the second opener slot, with younis, shahid, afridi or malik..
Re: Pakistan's ODI Squad announced.(Merged)
^ Did you watch VB series? I am sure you did! So rest assured that Kamran will be opening with Salman throughout!
This is one of the reasons Yasir is dropped that he is not gonna get a game with Kamran opening so why not try Asim Kamaal on popular demand.
Re: Pakistan's ODI Squad announced.(Merged)
I think its a good decision to drop Yasir and bring in an extra bowler...Rao and Nazir. Pakistan's ODI squad is pretty balanced and im sure Pakistan would have only played with one opener even if Yasir was in the team. I think Salman Butt is gonna open the innings with either Kamran or Afridi...or maybe even Malik...you never know what Woolmer is gonna try.

Sh!zzzzzzzzzz
Whats with that/
Another mind-gobbaling/boggaling decision :(
Re: Pakistan's ODI Squad announced.(Merged)
After todays innings, I fear that Inzi and Bob might play Afridi as an opener in the oneday series which they really shouldnt. He has settled really nicely for late order hitting and his loss doesnt hurt us there.
Re: Pakistan’s ODI Squad announced.(Merged)
I am hoping the same too, that they dont get carried away (or yield to the pressure) and play Afridi as an opener. It makes our batting inconsistent and hurts Afridi’s own career too.
Re: Hafeez, Yasir, Rao Iftikhar likely to join Pak team for ODIs
i dont know how good he is now
but in our time even i was able to smack him around 
Re: Pakistan's ODI Squad announced.(Merged)
I would add Aamir Sohail in Arun Lal's category too.
I think Rameez and Shaastri and also Sanjay, All three did a good job.
Re: Pakistan's ODI Squad announced.(Merged)
^ too bad, Arun Lal and Amir Sohail are not in Pakistani ODI squad
Re: Pakistan’s ODI Squad announced.(Merged)
And to add to that, Afridi has been a phenmonal success in the late order since he joined the squad during video con cup last year. And his record makes afar more consistent reading than ever before. Lets hope that Salman gets a fair chance alongwith Kamran.
