whats pakistan's test squad?/ Squad Announced

Well,today is going to be the decisive day for the ODI series between India and Pakistan.

Can anyone suggest Pakistan squad for the test series with India?

Moinkhan has already failed as a batsman in the series.But one match to go in the series and today is going to be a measurable day for him.

Suggest your best squad…

Shoaib Malik, Abdul Razzaq, Afridi out.

Saqlain, Waqar, Taufeeq in respectively.

Include one or two untried, upcoming performers in the squad as well.

there probably will be no Waqar in there. Rao Iftikhar will be back as will be Kaneria. I would really like Razzaq out too.

And who do u think will be our specialist spinner??

Kaneria or Saqlain??

these r surely in....

taufiq umar
yasir hameed
younis khan
youhanna
inzamam
razzaq
moin
shoaib
sami
kaneria

these r doubtful....

shabir
umar gul
misbahulhaq
asim kamal
faisal iqbal
saqlain

i think selectors will give a seriuos thought to put Kamran Akmal in instead of Moin.

I wouldn't mind that at all. Akmal can swing the bat with some guts and flair.

The pitches for the test matches will be a lot sportier. Akmal may well become a liability in those circumstances. With the bat and behind the stumps.

Well after today's performanc, Moin has secured his place in the test squad.

yup.

as much as I applaud Moin and Malik for an excellent showing, I hate it when a player performs in one match out of 5 and secures his place for five more. Ijaz Ahmed was the best exponent of this technique. I'm not saying that Moin or Malik did this deliberately but it is annoying as a fan especially if you think that there might be a better option out there.

1) Tufeeq Umer
2) Yasir Hameed
3) Asim Kamal / Mishbah
4) YoYo
5) Inzi
6) Moin Khan
7) A.Razzaq
8) Saqlain
9) Sami
10) Shoaib Akhtar
11) A Rauf / Roa

OMG samby, i was just gonna say that in One day thread :eek: I got scared when you posted it :smiley: Cant agree with you more. Ijaz was always like that, 9 matches he would score zilch and then came out with a century to secure his place for next 10 matches.

Regarding Malik and Moin, yes they did us proud but then again their performances let us down in last four onedayers, as well and today specially we could have benefitted with Saqlain’s inclusion.

specialist sspecialists and specialists only!

No freaking allrounder in Tests plz! :mad3:

Taufeeq
Yasir
Inzi
Yoyo
Shadab/Faisal/…(test specialist…tuktuki*)
Moin (he would be the only hitter)
Shabbir
Saqi/Rao
Danish
Sami
Shoaib

Strong opener for test. Both can make centuries in ‘Test’ against India’s bowling. As they better play the slower version of the game and could stick to the wicket for whole day.

Better middle order for test.

Five specialist bowlers. This line up can bowl the Indian batting out. Its neccessary to play five bowlers since Shoaib can’t bowl more than five over spell.

why did you exclude Imran Farhat? He surely iis gonna be there

great minds think alike, mate. :slight_smile:

We’ll take the test series, Inshallah. :jhanda:

I agree. Farhat will be there or at least should be there. He's done more than enough in the past to justify his inclusion in the test team.

This is my team and this is the team that I think will actually play, regardless of what anyone else says in this thread.

Imran Farhat
Taufeeq Umer
Yasir Hameed
Yousuf Youhana
Inzimam
Abdul Razzaq
Moin Khan
Sami
Shoaib
Shabbir
Danish

I see someone’s been watching Straight Drive and paying attention to the Great Khan.

I agree with you, by the way. :biggthumb
