think it was right to try a few things..why not? we've won the test series and we dont have much time to try some players befoe the world cup...lets use that time to see if our backup strentgh is any good..

Any chance Pakistan had in this match disintegrated in the third powerplay.

Sami could have taken his 2nd wicket but why Razzaq is bowling from the other end? what break could he give with his 78 mph?

This game might effectively put Rao's whole career into jeopardy. With the return of Shoaib, Asif and Shabbir I doubt he will get any more chances

Asalaam alikum Wr Wb Brothers;
From the moment i checked the scorecard to see how much pakistan has scored i ruled out our chances to win. However since pakistan team has been flying high they should have been far more competitive. I am not watching this match nor i have been following it since early morning but i can tell following " cricinfo.com" and "Pakpassion.net" that it truly has been dismal performance from pakistan. Totally unprofessional and spineless show from the boys in green.
As i speak west indies have coasted to a hammering, battering and handsome victory by seven wickets finishing on 212/3. CONGRATULATIONS to west indies for a fine performance allround
. Nearly throughout their tour in pakistan they have received nothing but hammering in tests and one dayers. "At last a WIN !"captain lara must be saying to himself with a huge relief. They thorougly deserved to win this match with the hardwork they put in. Bowlers Bradshaw, powell, smith and other supporting bowlers kept it tight and batsmen chanderpaul and samuels made sure they send pak bowlers, fielders and selection management to leather hunt !. Well played west indies , you now what i will be watching the highlights at " khanprod.com" to see west indies team's fine performance allround and pakistan team's mistakes allround !
Guys i have just checked the final scorecard, lara finishes off the match with a SIX of the mediocre iftikhar anjum !!! Are we surprised ?! ohhh noooooo sir we are not !. 56 runs from 5.5 overs at 9.60 is hardly encouraging from anjum today. Rana, sami, hafeez and malik the only bowlers to bowl decently. Look i can understand that pakistan were missing skipper inzamam due to inury, yousaf due to family commitment and younis due to family commitment as well but what about umar gul ?. Does anyone know why he was not playing ? I really did'nt understand gul's absence, was he not playing due to injury or due to rest to give younger players opportunities in strengthening bench strength as part of preparation for future. ( he's been playing non stop since tour of england)
I might be wrong, i have only logged onto internet 1 hour ago, have'nt been following the match on cricinfo and pakpassion since ball number one since early morning. But guys honestly i don't think iftikhar anjum deserves a place in the side. Why do pakistan cricket loves to return to traditional blunders ?? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ???????? PLEASE TELL ME WHY EVERYONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ??????? . When the selection management were replacing inzamam,yousaf,gul and rehman with hameed,fiasal,sami and afridi why were they not utilised properly ?. Look inzamam and yousaf had to step aside due to genuine reasons but why was rehman and gul dropped ?.
For most part of his career afridi has been a waste at opening position it was only under woolmer's tenure to date that afridi has renovated, revitalised in lengthening his career with consistent success at position number 6/7. Yes lately he's been out of form at 6/7 in the last two series perhaps. But he should have played at number 6 rather than open, shoaib malik under woolmer's tenure is a another player who has been nurtured well and flourished at number 3 before younis khan made a return in the one day side. If everyone remembers shoaib malik averaged something like 40-45 in some 25-30 games he played since the start of woolmer's tenure until younis khan made a return entry. Since younis khan has revived his career and comeback permanently in the side the number 3 postion is his castle in both tests and one dayers. Which meant shoaib malik and to move down the order at 5/6. In the absence of younis khan today shoaib malik should atleast have occupied position number 4 cause pakistan played with three openers today farhat,hafeez and hameed. What was hafeez doing at number four ? Pakistan selection management can sometime ruin a player's career with it's utmost stupidity. Number six is a position for master blasters like afridi or razzak not for othordox batsman like fiasal iqbal whose job is to collect 1s, 2s, and odd boundary. Fiasal iqbal should have come at number 5. Iftikhar anjum should'nt have played instead left arm spinner rehman should have been retained. Mind boggling, mind blowing selections of some players and positions at which many played at !!!
Therefore pakistan team's selected playing eleven should have been played at the following positions; 1.Farhat 2. Hafeez 3. Hameed 4. Malik 5. Fiasal 6. Afridi 7. Razzak 8. Akmal 9. Rana 10. Sami ( Would have choosen gul) 11. iftkhar ( Would have choosen rehman)I can't comment on adbul razzak's captaincy as i have'nt followed the whole match. Let's hear you brothers comments on razzak's capntaincy.

It doesnt matter at which position Afridi plays, he will still fail. His bowling wasnt any great shakes either

I don't agree that afridi will fail whatever position he plays at. His best position has been at number 6/7. Afridi is a match winner there is no doubt about that. I am glad bob woolmer is the coach and not usman chadda otherwise afridi's career might have ended long ago ! Guys need to give afridi encouragement, he's deserved his position in the team as his domestic performances have been great.
If inzamam comes back fit for next match then he should come in for fiasal iqbal and iftikhar anjum should take the water boy position for a long long period. It was stupid to drop gul until pakistan has secured the series against windies. With stupid selections like iftikhar retained and sami brought in instead of retaining rehman and gul and mind boggling positions at which afridi,hafeez, malik and fiasal were played at it was hardly surprising we lost. I would have brought in sami and rested gul for the fifth game once the fourth match at multan was won and series secured for pakistan.
When will pakistan team selection management ever learn from mistakes ???
