Will Misbah be dashing? Or will he dash hopes. Time (and he eats up a lot of it) will tell.

Pakistan squad for T-20:

Mohammad Hafeez*, Ahmed Shehzad, Asad Ali, Hammad Azam, Haris Sohail, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Irfan, Nasir Jamshed, Saeed Ajmal, Shahid Afridi, Sohail Tanvir, Umar Akmal†, Umar Amin, Wahab Riaz, Zulfiqar Babar

No Misbah in T-20, this squad can survive 20 overs.

Haris is good, but Hammad also deserves a chance, and T20 will be the only format the management will consider him for.

Haris has been now seen by Mishah and most likely will be included in ODI and Test sides. Hammad has no chance for 50 overs and tests, so let him show his potential in T20.

Same things for Umar Amin, he did not get a single chance, so let him get some exposure in T20, only 2 games.

Just my opinion, let see what the management comes up with.

WI is now a third rate team...any team winning against it is in no way a measure of it's excellence in it's performance.

11

Re: West Indies v Pakistan, 1st T20, St Vincent

Just like Zimbabwe. :wink:

So many series are played for rankings…didn’t you know and to get match practice at the recognized international level.

Re: West Indies v Pakistan, 1st T20, St Vincent

^ agreed.

Re: West Indies v Pakistan, 1st T20, St Vincent

Too many spinners around in Pakistan team...the mach could be a close one... :D

14

Re: West Indies v Pakistan, 1st T20, St Vincent

WI 2/1 off 0.3 overs...

15

Re: West Indies v Pakistan, 1st T20, St Vincent

WI won the toss and chose not to bowl...

16

Re: West Indies v Pakistan, 1st T20, St Vincent

13/2 off 2.5 overs...Both wickets for Hafeez...

17

Re: West Indies v Pakistan, 1st T20, St Vincent

33/3 off 4.4 overs...

18

Re: West Indies v Pakistan, 1st T20, St Vincent

WI 41/3 off 6.0 overs...

19

Re: West Indies v Pakistan, 1st T20, St Vincent

41/3 off 6 overs.

WI are T20 champions, to call them third rate shows lack of cricketing knowledge.
