Akmal is keeping, this means Sarfraz may get dropped for India game to accomodate Yasir shah
 
Akmal has every shot in his book while sarfraz heavily relies on the sweep shot which is not really a good option not to mention dangerous as well.
My vote goes to Akmal.
 
dont think its a done deal, will likely depend on how our batting fires in these 2 games.

yes depends on batting performance of Sarfraz and maqsood, Who will perform will take Hafeez's place in line-up, dont think Jamshed will play 1st game
 
match isn't even at halfway stage. some are jumping as like Pakistan has already won it

Have to give credit to you BD fans, despite 50 something consecutive defeats against Pakistan, you guys still think you can beat us. Thats good attitude.
 
Sarfraz is now on the field but not keeping. As 15 players are allowed, I think he will be batting. I guess they'll see how he bats vs Umar

All 3 (Maqsood, Sarfraz and Akmal ) should be playing ideally with Team man sitting on the bench
 
Maqsood is a rare find for a country that lacks in the batting department for now.
No wonder he is also being considered as a long-term option for captaincy in the future.

I think it is maqsood vs Sarfraz

Umar will play for sure and One of Sarfraz/Maqsood will take Hafeez's spot
 
thanks buddy nice pics! are they getting swing i mean sohail? there are clouds all over
Yeah it is quite cloudy. Sohail's figures look good because of the huge pressure on BD at the start, they just didn't get going. I don't think he got much movement but didn't ball badly with his line and length. He's not very quick though

Yes he bowl around 130-135
 
the spirit of sohail is bowling now:

Bowling Overs Maidens Runs Wickets Extras Dot Balls
Mohammad Irfan 4 1 8 1 2 w 21
Sohail Khan 6 0 18 1 1 w 23
Wahab Riaz 5 0 13 0 3 w 23
Shahid Afridi 6 0 30 0 1 w 14
Yasir Shah 3 0 10 0 9
Haris Sohail 0.5 0 2 0
 
The bright side of them not showing this game is bigger anticipation for the Pak vs Eng broadcast tomorrow
 
Really wanna see akmal play as a wicket keeper batsman...nothing against sarfaraz..but at the moment sarfaraz keeping is mediocre and it will help the team to make a combination.

Is Irfan playing?

He shouldnt play in warm-ups..

We cant risk an injury to him

not under coach waqar, after his spell he probably asked him to come off the field...


....so he could make him do 5 chakkar of the ground..

reminds me of school days punishment for coming late.

Must be grunting hard though, isn't he?
 
acc to line up written on ECB website, and media reports of yesterday, sohaib is all set to play as an opener in the 2nd inning
 
Yasir Shah looks promising...
We needed a spinner who could choke in terms of runs and the wickets always come when you do that.
He will be the one to watch out for. Even Shane Warne admired him which is huge.
 
Bang seems to be taking revenge on afridi, for those poor ladies who cried in the asia cup match

Nope..He just doesn't care enough, it seems.
He is basically irreplaceable and the sad thing is that the pathan is well aware of that.
 
Sohail injured,so Pak should abandon next practice match to save players.Otherwise Waqar will play against India
 
while we have been watching bowling card the whole time, must say smart batting by these two, good partnership here bringing them to a decent position to attack in last 15-20 overs. 150 in last 20 gets them 260, which may be a v good total on this ground/conditions (conditions didn't seem like 300+ dont think this ground is drop in)

maybe thats his ultimate plan. train the players so hard that he is forced to play, fulfilling his ultimate dream of playing world cup in australia.
 
Tamim and Mahmudullah have rebuilt nicely. Bowling will need to step up big time vs India or their batsmen will smash the ball out of shape.
 
I think I just spent $100 on ESPN for nothing.
Might be looking at a 1st round exit.. 2007 all over again.
 
Sohail Khan injured, and seeing how random our selection has been, who says Shabbir Ahmed can't make the squad :afridi
 
Didn't see anything major happen. Can't see him on the field though

hmm, seems more like masala to me then... maybe some random guy at match saw s khan going off the field after his overs and that converted into dunya news special that s khan injured!

Team management says Sohail Khan's injury is not serious, but he's unlikely to take further part of today's match as precautionary measure.
 
how can a bowler get injured without playing an international match . lolz @ pak cricket
