Grayson is delighted that his side have the opportunity to face the touring side.
‘We will be putting out a strong team to make sure we get in a big performance and try and get our confidence back for Sunday’s game with Hampshire,’ he said.“But obviously, Pakistan are a very talented side and will provide a tough challenge for us.”
The visitors will select their squad from the following players:
Shahid Afridi, (Captain),Salman Butt, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Akhtar, Kamran Akmal, Umer Akmal,Fawad Alam, Umer Amin, Muhammad Aamer,Umer Gul, Shahzaib Hasan,Shoaib Malik, Abdul Razzaq, Abdul Rehman ,Wahab Riaz.

 

[A.M.]

lets see how do we play against a strong essex team :aamir

 

[Inswinger]

Is Kaneria part of the Essex T20 team? If so, let's see if he can prove that he deserves a run in Pakistan's limited overs side.

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

when excactly does the game start?

 

[Inswinger]

Going by the OP, it should start in about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Playing against Pakistan doesn't exactly mean he is able to prove himself....
even a local club team can take pakistani wickets...He should play against other teams like India or Aus

 

[Shahidumar]

Going by the OP, it should start in about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

shud be starting in abt 2 and a half hours time..accodin to crapinfo aka cricinfo

 

[Inswinger]

Playing against Pakistan doesn't exactly mean he is able to prove himself....
even a local club team can take pakistani wickets...He should play against other teams like India or Aus

And how will he get a chance to play against Indoa and Australia if he isn't in the Pak team?

 

[Shahidumar]

kaneria is not a limited overs material..he shud rather concentrate on tests before saeed ajmal grabs dat place of his as wel

 

[Paradox]

lol @ Kaneria in limited overs. We have one of the top 3 limited overs spinners in the world, Ajmal, no thanks.

Although, yes, maybe Kaneria > Ajmal. In Tests.

 

[Abdullah22]

Umar Akmal to score a fast 50 again and prove he can be consistent. Scored fast 50s in last three t20s (Kent, Aus, SA)

 

[T20_Cricket]

And Salman Butt or Kamran Akmal to drop an easy catch or :akmal

 

[Friend786]

2 hours to go

 

[ahsan88]

Is Lala playing?

 

[T20_Cricket]

Is Lala playing?

I don't think so.

 

[Shahidumar]

nope afridi wont be playin..confrmd

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

nope afridi wont be playin..confrmd

although that is hugely dissapointing its probebly for the best, the beast needs a rest.

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

What's the pitch like? Do we bat or bowl first if we win the toss?

 

[Down2Earth]

chelmsford is a tiny ground, even 200 can be chased down

 

[Abdullah22]

What's the pitch like? Do we bat or bowl first if we win the toss?

Haven't seen the pitch but going by our 'chasing qualities' ( ) bat first.

 

[1two3]

Ned 2 - 1 Brazil.....

 

[Ryankhan]

cant wait for the game to be started but sad for us it wont it be shown live on tv. sad to see no lala. lets see how team does in but captaincy. here is ur chance for the futur so prove urself.... hope we win and i think rehman and wahab should be given a chance. we can afford to try out players in side games, lets see how they do. Im very confident or rehman, he is a good left arm spiner and a good support he could be to afridi n ajmal. eng lish conditions in summer are in favour of spinners and since its home series for pakistan so i think they should go for spin wicket n aussies are not gud players of spin so in test match attack them with kaneria-afridi-rehman.

 

[hashbb]

Pak won the toss and elected to Bat!

 

[ace4rmspace]

Is Kaneria playing for Essex against us?? Hain?? I call Treason!!!

 

[hashbb]

risty shot for four

 

[Friend786]

brazil eliminated

 

[1two3]

Play On.. Butt on 0*

 

[Obeid]

Butt has a 4 off the first over, Pakistanis 5/0 after the first over.

Danish is playing for Essex

 

[Abdullah22]

Exactly read my signature.

 

[farsiddiqui]

brazil eliminated

+1 issed:

 

[hashbb]

anyone have a better link then bbc, they sound so boring !

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

How difficult is it to switch from a 3 day to a T20 mentally. NOt easy that's for sure.

 

[Obeid]

This is the worst commentary I've ever heard. Can't tell whats a 4 or a single =/

 

[hashbb]

3 boundries of the Over from Shazaib!

 

[Obeid]

Shahzaib 3 boundaries in the over

 

[1two3]

4 for Shahzaib

 

[farsiddiqui]

Exactly read my signature.

If Pakistan is not going to play him in the shorter versions of the game, then why not? It's just a practice game. He will be motivated to do good. Provide good batting practice to his team mates, and may work as a double agent

 

[Down2Earth]

who has the best scorecard?

 

[Khabri420]

Shahzaib is a beast!

 

[1two3]

4 More.. for Shahzaib

 

[PapaBear]

Thanks, the commentary is on now.

 

[hashbb]

Horrible Commentry!!

 

[Obeid]

Where did the BBC get these commentators from?

 

[1two3]

4 + 4 + 4 = 12

 

[*syed59*]

Too much general talk. Although I don't mind what they're saying.

Good start from Pakistan.

Improvisation from "someone"

 

[Obeid]

Buttah improvised or slipped... Hmm )

 

[fawad_wellwisher]

Where did the BBC get these commentators from?

Lunda bazaar!

 

[saeed-sohail]

This commies are putting me to sleep.

 

[IMMY69]

Absolutely brilliant commentary!!!

Old style English commentary, relaxed and smooth!

I'm just about to start eating my scones whilst sipping my cuppa...

Seriously though, loving the commentary!

 

[Obeid]

So 180 on the cards

 

[hashbb]

No styris no bobara!

Yeah really... its quite enjoyable.

Compare this to the Surrey radio we have been hearing in the YK thread.

 

[Xoib]

they are talking about Pakistan as if its the 80 Westindies.

 

[infamous9383]

the commentators arent that great, not exactly giving ball by ball commentary

 

[Obeid]

They've changed Shahzaib's name about 5 times so far - Shahib Hasan, Sahib Hasan, Sahiba Hasan

 

[Paradox]

Shahzaib.

 

[Gollum]

the commentators arent that great, not exactly giving ball by ball commentary

what do you expect? i doubt if 100 people are listening to this commentary...

 

[T20_Cricket]

*** They are talking?

 

[*syed59*]

they are talking about Pakistan as if its the 80 Westindies.

Apart from praising our goalkeeper ,that's the part I dont mind

 

[ace4rmspace]

I call for a First Class Phaintee for Dani today. Not that I've got anything against the guy, I think he's top! But wouldn't it be hilarious!

 

[Mohsin]

Apparently Essex have the best keeper in the world...

 

[Boi]
