Any news about the team selection? Hopefully Mohammad Aamer will play. I have to see what all the hype is about. Wasim Akram is pretty enthusiastic about him.
I agree. Hopefully they will give him a chance. He's only 17 and left hand fast medium like Wasim himself. Wasim had a lot of good things to say about Aamer.

Havent u guys seen him play ? i saw him play last year... I was amazed by his bowling; he was beating M Yousaf and Kamran Akmal. Hopefully he has become better bowler in past year.

Yahoo! Cricket News - Dhoni’s plan against Pakistan
Dhoni’s plan against Pakistan
Yahoonews, Ashish Shukla, 03 June 2009
A detailed plan against Pakistan by the Indians reveal they view Misbahul Haq as “pivotal in the batting line-up” who possesses great cricketing brain, can be inventive, has deceptive strike rate, is good runner between the wickets, plays well with the tail, likes to drive and is a good player of spin�in essence a perfect batsman to come up against.
However, Pakistan’s pace bowling spearhead Umar Gul is seen as one who “doesn’t have patience or big heart,” and can lose cool when he is being hit around.
Other key men in Pakistan line-up, like Younis Khan in batting and Sohail Tanvir in bowling are viewed with mixed feeling by the Indians.
Younis Khan is termed as “mentally very strong” who lofts the ball straight and isa good player of spin. However, he is also viewed as a nervous starter, often confused in matter of shot selection and is a good candidate for a lbw decision at the start of his innings.
As for Tanvir, he is praised on a few points�such as it’s difficult to pick his action, more so in day-night games and has a wonderful yorker, can effect great change of pace and a good fielder off his bowling. However, he is seen as someone who takes things for granted and experiments rather too much.
Another key man Shahid Afridi is termed as “pure match-winner” who likes to hit in the V. However, he is one who “doesn’t like to be sledged at”; doesn’t like the short-pitched stuff and can’t handle spinners very well.
Left-handed opener is praised for being “extremely wristy” and point and cover-point is his area. However, Butt isn’t seen fluent on the leg side and his head falls over the incoming ball, making him an lbw candidate.
Wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal is one who loves the cut and the pull and “midwicket is his six-hitting area.”
However, Akmal can throw away his wicket and has a weakness outside the off-stump, a prime candidate for slip-catching practice.
I know Bob Woolmer but whos "others"? Does it include you?

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first
