Lets review Rana performance in last 6-7 ODIs games both with bat and ball. I think it is time to give a chance to Yasir against SA. I am sure he is younger than Rana and could be long term asset. I am sure he will be a better batter, fielder and bowler then Rana, keeping in mind Rana present form.

Re: Yasir Arafat for Rana?
yea i think rana needs the boot, hes been stinking it up for a while! arafat needs to come in!
Re: Yasir Arafat for Rana?
No no take Umar Gul for both with making 4 pacers to our team. They are including Shoaib Akhtar, Muhammad Asif, Umar Gul and Abdul Razzaq.
Re: Yasir Arafat for Rana?
On the pitch we just played Yasir shouldnt have come in for Rana.
Re: Yasir Arafat for Rana?
^ Had Rana played and got smacked for 7-0-40-0 you would've been jumping up'n'down for Yasir :p
Re: Yasir Arafat for Rana?
Naw on this pitch, there is no way Rana would have gone for that many runs, this pitch was tailor made for Rana, it was for Asif as well...dammit
Re: Yasir Arafat for Rana?
Send Arafat to Palestine. They need him there.
And if Arafat could convince Younis Khan to become suicide bombers, that would be great.
