[Friend786]

12.51 pm Brian Waddle, from Radiosport, has some bad news for us. He says, "I would be surprised if we get any cricket in today". Hmmm

 

[mon858]

most of the crowd is still there, that could be a positive sign, they may know that even with interruption we'll get a game here.

I like our batting lineup today. Shezad, Hafeez, Younis, Misbah, Kamran, Akmal.

Only change I'd like to see is if Younis doesn't show form or Umar Akmal, to be replaced with Asad Shafiq.

With Razzaq at 8, Afridi at 7. That's a very strong batting lineup.

Though using Razzaq at 8 is a mistake IMO. You have too many hitters down low, and if we bat well, I doubt all will get to play. Tanvir at 9, another big hitter. Gul can hit a few so can Riaz.

I would have gone with an additional specialist bowler. Gul, Tanvir, Riaz. That's enough pace/swing ... What you need now is some better spin. Hafeez and Afridi ... not that strong. I'd have replaced Razzaq with Abdur Rehman (can also bat a bit) or Saeed Ajmal (and moved up Tanvir to 8, Wahab to 9).

With this sort of hitting - Afridi, Gul, Tanvir, Riaz - even Kami can hit - I don't see the need for Razzaq, especially at 8. If our top and middle order collapses, not like Razzaq will have much to work with at 8 to save the innings. I really like 10 of the 11 picks and the batting order today. Only change I'd like to see is Razzaq out for a spinner.

WC rotation

Shezad
Hafeez
Younis/Shafiq
Misbah
Akmal/Shafiq
Kamran
Afridi
Tanvir/Razzaq
Riaz
Gul/Akhtar
Ajmal/Rehman

 

[Sledger]
