India 300/9 off 50 overs.
300...that's all I wanted. It has a nice ring to it.
Re: Today's warm up matches
8/273 after 48 overs
That's quite impressive considering we were 4/66
Very well played by Akmal in the end, glad that we have someone who can hit out in the end (controlled aggression).

Australia scored 290/7 (Clarke 82, Watson 81)
Re: Today's warm up matches
good batting display by pak in the end.. lets hope our top order can perform a bit in next matches so we can take the score even higher... but this is still a great effort provided the early jitters... good contributions by almost every one (excluding malik and afridi)
Re: Today's warm up matches
Bowling is the key, lets see if our bowlers can cheaply dismiss them. Younis can make the adjustment as an opener, I hope Hafeez continues to perform like this down the order.
Re: Today's warm up matches
India 300/9 in 50 vs Holland
Pak 273/8 in 48 vs Canada
hmmmmmmm.........
Re: Today’s warm up matches
well Hafeez in his interview with Ramiz (Road to WC) said he can’t adjust with Nazir. So they have to split them up now.
And who opens with Nazir is the question. Akmal, or Yoyo?
Lets see if they continue with this strategy…Moyo got out cheapley though…
Re: Today's warm up matches
Mohammad Yousuf is the best batsman in the team and the second best in the world, it is a right decision for him to come first down. I think Younis Khan will make the adjustment, if Hafeez can perform like this down in order, we are in very good shape.
Don't worry about Inzy, Yousuf and Younis, they know what they are doing. It is the role players like Hafeez, Akmal and Malik that will help us win this cup.
Re: Today's warm up matches
^ well I don't want Moyo to loose on scoring just because of this shuffle in the order.
Re: Today's warm up matches
Good to see the captain making a fair contribution. Lets hope that he continues the same way! Time for Gul to be counted again ;)
Re: Today's warm up matches
Even the over-rated Akmal got some runs today................
Re: Today’s warm up matches
add 27 for Sami, he is a better player though.
Re: Today’s warm up matches
do you mean … add 27 runs while he is bowling his first over?

Re: Today’s warm up matches
inetresting.
There are indeed players in this WC with ability to hit any Pak bowler (in this squad) for 27+ runs/over. But I was talking about Sami adding another 27 with his bat.
Till now minows only chased and provided good practice to batsmen of better teams. Any comment on this??? Luck is indeed a big factor.
Re: Today's warm up matches
yousuf has always been reluctant to bat at 3, i doubt he will want to move now all of a sudden!
