Great photo,good to see team morale is high despite the shenanigans surrounding the coach and ex-captain !

i LOVE Younis Khan! What a character and great person!! After everything that's happened to him, im stunned as to how he's still able to smile like always. I wish him the best in his life and career :)

Really good to see YK smiling after his last few weeks surrounded in sadness.

That especially brought a smile.What a man,stupid fans still try to drag his name through the mud.Sure he may not be the greatest ODI player,but at least we know he is 100% committed,every time he steps out onto the field.

Also he is a World Cup winning captain and that makes him the greatest captain since Imran Khan and Inzy.

Only 3 front line bowlers?
 
Good team. junaid and tanvir to start. then we have options in ajmal, hafeez and hammad to bowl 20 overs.
 
And it has started to drizzle again! We were just minutes away from the start with the umpires in the middle and the batsmen half way through... They are bringing in the light covers

The players have gone back to the safety of the dressing room, the umpires are still out there

:)))

not going to get a game at this rate.

I'd go for a batting lineup like this

Hafeez
Taufeeq
Azhar
Umar
Misbah
Shafiq
Hammad
Salman
Tanvir
Junaid
Ajmal

:)) The Urdu commentators are ranting and raving,I don't think they realise this yet !
 
Just as play was about to start, the rain started again.

Stopped raining now though.

If this is indeed the line up then it's good to see that Misbah and Waqar have used their brain by bringing in 3 seamers which are likely to dominate under these conditions. However I'm surprised Wahab Riaz is not in the side.

Interesting to see Azhar there. He'll have to have a different approach because with Asad and Misbah being there... It'll become too defensive if Azhar follows the same approach as Asad and Misbah or the approach he has in the longer format of the game.

I think the rain will continue to operate like traffic lights today. By the end of the day, the groundstaff will have had more of a workout than the players :))
 
this is the most frustrating thing about ireland

i bet my first match tomorrow captaining my uni team will be a cancellation because of this bs rain
 
just hand every player an umbrella and get on with the game ffs
 
Pak team is

Hafeez
Taufeeq
Asad
YK
Misbah
Umar
Salman
Tanvir
Gul
Ajmal
Junaid
 
Good team. junaid and tanvir to start. then we have options in ajmal, hafeez and hammad to bowl 20 overs.

If this is the XI then we have NO options, 3 frontline bowlers bowling 30 (ajmal, tanvir, junaid) and 2 part time bowlers who have to bowl 20 (hafeez and hammad :S)
 
Pak team is

Hafeez
Taufeeq
Asad
YK
Misbah
Umar
Salman
Tanvir
Gul
Ajmal
Junaid

Better team than the one that was predicted by Cricket Archive.That was a bit defensive.

Gul
Junaid
Tanvir

Three solid seamers backed up by Ajmal and Hafeez's spin.Good batting lineup with Misbah,Umar Akmal,YK and Asad Shafiq.

Disappointed not to see Hammad Azam,Wahab Riaz or Azhar Ali,he should replace Taufeeq Umar who is more suited to Test cricket.

But it is important to have competition for places so tough luck :)

Expecting seamers to finally dominate under these conditions. It's been a while since we witnessed that... Considering most of the pitches Pakistan have played on have been in favour of spinners.

Dissapointed to see that Hammad Azam didn't make the squad, well gutted.
 
^Nevermind Gul and YK in, Azhar ali and hammad out it seems. Only thing we have to worry about now is Hafeez getting through all his overs which is not a big deal. And the rain.
 
This 101 people are talking useless.
Guy saying : Danish kaneria nay impress nahe kia.
 
13: 46 For the record, it has stopped raining and they are taking off some of the covers. The crowd seems to be in very good spirits. Its about half and half in support. The sun has started coming through so hopefully we can get play started soon.

Lmao hilarious call on the radio from saudi arabia. Btw how are they doing commentary? I mean its not being televised at all, and I bet they're not in Ireland...
 
13:51 The game will now start at 14:00 and we are down to 38 overs per side (if it does not rain again in-between and that's a big IF)

Finally play about to start.

Umar Gul to open the bowling.
 
what the hell is this man, why the hell is Azhar not playing!
 
pakistan opening the ball with umar gul suprising after they got two decent opening bowlers in tanvir andjunaid and also looking at what sehwag did to gul
 
the team should have focused on the younger guys

should be good enough for eire with great respect to ireland
 
what the hell is this man, why the hell is Azhar not playing!

its a oneday man. you cant have taufiq,misbah,younis and azhar all in an odi team. it was a call between azhar and taufiq, taufiq got nod coz he is a left hander and just scored a century while opening.

Gul is our best odi bowler.....sewag may have hit him around but every bowler in the world at some time gets a rough treatment from the batsman.....mgrath once gave five 4s in 1 over..... its all part of the game

radio gov pak? is it broadcasting the match or is there jsut this talking stuff the entire time

definitely not commentary :facepalm: might as well use saj's updates and cricinfo who are at least giving detailed ball by ball text commentary.
 
Ireland playing some nice shots mixed in with some plays and misses.

12 for 1 fourth over
 
Great cut for 4 off Tanvir

Take that 16 for 1
