New Zealand vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Dunedin | Jan 13, 2018 | Pre-Match Thread

[Prince of Pakistan]

Still, 3 or 4 PAK players got hold out on line, trying to accelerate!!!!! On song Maqsood could have sent Astle & Santner out of attack.

Pak is still stuck in the Imran Khan era. Only Allah knows how they won some world titles.

I don't think it has only "stuck with one era" in it - some people in charge think fans are too dumb.

Meaningless ODI series. What matters most in ODI cricket is ICC tournaments only.

 

[Iddy]

My XI would be

1.Azhar/Imam
2.Fakhar
3.Babar
4.Sarfraz
5.Malik
6.Haris
7.Shadab
8.Aamer Yamin
9.Fahim
10.Hasan
11.Amir

I would like to see Faheem open with Fakhar. This way we may get a decent modern day start.

SARFRAZ should bat at higher numbers.

He can open, he can bat at No.3, he can bat at No.4

He should not bat below No.4.

Team for the 3rd ODI should be like :

01 - Azhar Ali
02 - Fakhar Zaman
03 - Sarfraz Ahmed
04 - Babar Azam
05 - Muhammad Hafeez
06 - Shoaib Malik
07 - Shadab Khan
08 - Fahim Ashraf
09 - Hasan Ali
10 - Muhammad Amir
11 - Rumman Raees

I wish we Sarfraz should bat at upper numbers but I think he is compromising / sacrificing due to so-called seniors (Malik & Hafeez).

Most likely another L for us to collect

top order needs to stand up
bowling hasn't been all that

Are you really going to push Babar down for Sarfraz?

He'd be a sitting duck at 3, 6/7 suits him.
