yh neon, zak is defo going out for a couple of months. looks very weak and that life threatening injury is round the corner it seems. i wud rather he retires froms t20s and odis and focus on tests if wants to stay longer.

but neon we shudnt be worrying. dhoni will probably go with 3 spinners after seeing how england are playing spin. so the question is how are the likes of yadav, ishant sharma, aaron, sreesanth, preparing for test series.

We need an extra batsman for sure... The point I was trying to make earlier is the only problem with Razzaq is fielding, now fielding is always going to be rubbish so no need to worry about that.

But, if Arafat only bowls one over here, two overs there then surely we can afford to play Razzaq. And, no Arafat. But, Mr. Afridi14 thinks we should stick with the same team!? For two games in a row we have collapsed in dramratic style. Of course you have to change something. These batsman have no fackin' clue whatsoever!

I'd like to play Shafiq but it would be difficult to bring him into the team. Raza Hasan has done very well, you wouldn't drop the other bowlers. And the only batsman you'd get rid of is Nazir but there's no point because he provides that danger. Kamran is the keeper and Malik and Umar I don't blame them at all. They may need promoting.

Hafeez
Jamshed
K Akmal
Asad Shafiq
Shoaib Malik
Umar Akmal
Abdul Razzaq
Shahid Afridi
Umar Gul
Raza Hasan
Saeed Ajmal

Flexible depending on situation

Nazir provides the danger
---
Yeah..... only provides!

A few inside edges then he's back in the pavillion

yh robin, as far as this tournament has gone we havent utilized our players well. opening with irfan, ms promoting himself at no.5 when he clearly struggles in the t20 format, not letting a destructive raina come in at 4 when yuvi hasnt got enough match practice and etc. all these things have somehow led our incosistency in the batting department. nd also other than ashwin and pathan, our bowlers have been rotated like every other match. it probably affects their confidence when sitting out.

Amir, Im with Robin on his team but maybe put Razzaq at 3. This might be his last game in a green shirt of Pak.

Sorry, but it's right to have Nazir in the team. That's why you have balance in Hafeez opening with him and Jamshed at 3. And that's why I feel Malik should come in at 4 and Umar at 5... that way if we collapse/ the likes of Nazir don't perform then these guys have the capabilty to save us.

Hafeez, Jamshed, Malik and Umar are all partnership builders... Kamran is not. Therefore he should bat lower down.

That's what we need partnership builders.

Indian team should be imo:

Sehwag
Gambhir
Kohli
Raina
Rohit
Yuvraj
Dohni
Pathan
Ashwin
Balaji
Zaheer

razaaq isnt the old razzaq anymore. that razzaq single handedly won u matches, and that also in a matter of overs

Amir tell me the last time this minnow basher did anything decent against a top side?

yh robin dhoni will go with dat. hopefully doesnt make some weird changes as he has throught out this tournament.
maybe the one change he might be tempted to do is bring back bhajji, in place of balaji or zaheer.

But what is the point of having Nazir, he's almost a walking wicket, scores his 10/15 runs, then he's back in the pavillion...

Bring in Shafiq for him. I agree Kamran should bat lower down. Shafiq Malik Umar all have solidity to their game. Top 4 batsman which consist of Nazir and Kamran will only click once or twice, hence why we keep having bad starts.

Hafeez
Jamshed
Shafiq
Malik
Umar
Kamran
Razzaq
Afridi

pak fans how about open with akmal and hafeez, bring jamshed at 3 and u.akmal at 4 and then shoib and so on. will give umar more balls to face and probably score more at the end.

Leicester to London again Neon?

Jamshed
shafiq
Malik
umar
razzaq
afridi
gul
raza
Ajmal


umar coming in earlier depending on situation

probs the best one

Am off to bed too before the missus accuses me of watching babestation again

whatever happens the top order must change. we are too vulnerable.

hafeez
Nazir
Jamshed
Malik
umar
kamran
razzaq
afridi
gul
raza
Ajmal

isn't bad either

I was watching it last night...

Amir you seriously have some poor expectations. Scoring 14 off 11 balls is not doing the job. It's not a good start and it puts us on the backfoot. We need openers that like to stay the 6 power play over at least.

kash you got accused of watching babestation

amir tut tut lol
