Does anyone know if Yousuf will be playing in the match against South Africa?
He pulled his hamstring in the game against the Aussies. He's fully fit and will replace Malik in the game against South Africa.
Inshallah :)

Yousuf is the best batsman to come out of Pakistan for a long time. He is a devout Christian, but he gives his all for Pakistan. We are lucky to have him.
Yousuf reminds me of Malik, middle order batsman.. I wouldn't call him the greatest batsman, but one of them, hey Mohd. Wasim was quite good, then he totally sank to the bottom..
Mohammed Wasim was a good player with a good technique. In test cricket he may well have succeeded given the opportunity.
My principle is to always look to the guy with a sound technique. i.e play with a straight bat. Inzamam, Yousuf, and Wasim all fall into this category.
Also temperament is important. I would back the same guys for this reason as I believe they have shown that they possess this quality.
Not necessarily for the one day game though.
