I hate it when we put up a decent partnership and then one gets out and the other follows, like WFT man.

A14 I'm not saying remove Afridi from the side but more the fact that we still see him as a batsman. He is nothing more than a hit n hope close your eyes hope for the best slogger. The fault lies with management and skipper who put him so high up the order. .

we have tried the likes of Tanvir, Bhatti and now Anwar at 7/8 and they just don't perform with the bat. Pak cricket is at rock bottom.

Agree kash, he needs to call it a day after World Cup though, because he's just embarrassing himself. He's lucky his bowling came half decent this series... But I thought it was very selfish and foolish of him to say " I want to know if I'm going to be captain or not at the World Cup"... At the press conference after the game. Just no need for it.

I can honestly see Malik, goofy and younis coming back into ODI team for world cup

Yeah man we do this every world cup. Prior to the world cup we try kids, new players but as soon as the tournament starts we pick known failures who failed in previous tournaments.

In fighting within the camp has already started. A good start would be to get rid of the trouble makers and start again. 2015 WC has come too soon for us.

On another note a terrible start for Waqar and Grant Flower

What is wrong with Malik?

Take Malik's runs against India out of his career and he has an average as bad as Afridi.

Not to mention the fact that he's a trouble causer.

Anyway kash, I've only been Pakistsn once, when I was 3, thinking of going for a month in December (start new job next year)... I'll have a word with PCB and unearth some exciting players from kashmir. I will change Pakistan cricket for good

Ps- I'll also try to find adot villa (amir)

Have Kashmir ever produced any cricketers of note?

I've not been to Pak myself since 1990. So are you on the hunt for a new wife?

I'm married and have a 5 month old kid you joker... Why would I want another wife?

No other motives to go, except that I haven't been for years...

It's quite common for Kashmiris to have more than one wife

seeing as I have not been for ages I can't really advise you. You going on your own or family?

No just myself.

Any idea when test squad will be announced? No Wahab, Junaid, Ajmal, Gul, Hafeez. I bet we recall Mohammed Sami again

It's been delayed due to injuries. They will annouce after Pak A vs aussies warm up game. I think that warm is 15-19th oct.

If there is any decent quick bowlers in Kashmir...

The BCCI would be interested

The 19-member squad:

1. Ahmed Shehzad ,
2. Mohammad Hafeez
3. Taufeeq Umar
4. Shan Masood
5. Sami Aslam
6. Misbah UL Haq Captain
7. Younus Khan
8. Asad Shafiq
9. Azhar Ali
10. Harris Sohail
11. Mohammad Talha
12. Rahat Ali
13. Imran Khan
14. Ehsan Adil
15. Attaullah
16. Sarfraz Ahmed
17. Zulfiqar Babar
18. Yasir Shah
19. Raza Hassan

Will be cut down to 15.

Hafeez is back
Rahat

Wow our bowlers that have been selected are the worst I've seen in a long long time.

I think we have hit rock bottom. None of these pace bowlers are express pace but more up to 85mph. Even India have faster bowlers than us

Adil looks a decent prospect but Rahat is poor, Talha is bad and Imran Khan is almost 70

Didn't notice Imran Khan

Is Rehmann injured?

Whitewash awaiting

Rehman dropped after a poor couple of series. Looks like we will try the Yasir leggy and Babar combination.

I just thought we could've done with some experience in the bowling department but then again that's why Hafeez may be in. Will be interesting to see these new bowlers, I hope they take their chance.

Further proof that icc is a joke. I hope they provide relevant, reliable and factual evidence in their response. Otherwise, they should allow those "suspect bowlers" to play, until they can prove that their new testing procedures and robust and fekkin reliable. Bascustards

So we have a new test centre in Oz and further new ones in Cardiff and Chennai. Why these 3 countries when Dubai is the ICC headquarters?

I think we all know why.

facts are that;

Test centres in 3 countries that run cricket
Banned bowlers - most teams except the 3
Testing procedures - experts saying they are unreliable and weak
Icc say they are robust without any elaboration
Training and assessments done by juniors without qualifications and experience

They may as well ban all other teams and just play amongst themselves. Crooks
