Re: Pakistan's TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

so sami gonna perform some miracles?

Re: Pakistan's TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

According to Geo headlines Mohammad Asif is out of the team as well, didn't say if it was due to "injury" or some other reason.

Re: Pakistan's TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

Mohammad Asif was ruled out quite some time ago due to injury wasnt he?

Re: Pakistan's TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

I think it is a mistake to drop Afridi. Dont know if Kaneria has a new mystery ball developed for this series, but he has typically been pretty ineffective. Afridi for Kaneria just on bowling alone might not be so far fetched. Any runs he scores would be an added bonus.

Re: Pakistan’s TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

good…u don’t need afridi in the team…he is not a team player anyways…may try to win the match for the pakistanis…imagine the shock n awe…:halo: :rolleyes:

Re: Pakistan's TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

awesome....sami has been performing really well since Oval Test. Great tour against Sout Africa. Inshallah he will be a great help for Akhtar, who considers him as match winner.

Re: Pakistan's TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

*sami a to gaya hay but question is k usay khilain gay b like bichara fawad alam *

Re: Pakistan's TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

sami aa la re mataki sambhal india wala:)

Re: Pakistan's TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

I think you are right, his elbow injury is not cleared yet for which he is going to Australia to get scanned for. The headline news didn't mention about it and I wasn't aware that he hasn't recovered... hence the post.

Re: Pakistan's TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

This time Sami is coming back after performing in domestic so his recall is legitimate, hopefully he remains in-form and will be able to partner Akhtar well.

Re: Pakistan’s TEST SQUAD - Afridi Out, Sami In

Dropping Afridi a big mistake IMO considering the immense role he played in the win in the decider in 2005
Scorecard - 2004-2005 India v Pakistan - 3rd Test - 24/03/2005 - M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, Bangalore - Test No. #1743](Scorecard - 2004-2005 India v Pakistan - 3rd Test - 24/03/2005 - M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, Bangalore - Test No. #1743)
Kaneria is not really a match-winning spinner. He is very over-rated as a bowler. He has to bowl something like 40-50 overs to get 2-3 wickets but this time he might get some cheap wickets at a reasonable SR because of the pressure applied by Akhtar from the other end.
