Mohammad Sami has been confirmed to play on Captains Corner

this will most likely be the team

younis
yousof
inzi
malik
razzaq
akmal

danish

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I feel sorry for Nazir if that is the case - he played well and he didnt deserve to be dropped especially for Sami

 

[Gunner786]

we dont know who sami will replace yet,

most likely nazir

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

we dont know who sami will replace yet,

most likely nazir

well we know it aint going to be Gul since he has been our best bowler in the series

Whoever Sami replaces i will feel sorry for them - heck id rather Inzi bowl than Sami

 

[Mutazalzaluzzaman Tarar]

if Sami replaces Shahid, that will be a terrible, terrible decision. he doesn't deserve to be dropped. he has held his own very well and hasn't let the team down once. Sami should come in the place of Razzaq (if at all).

 

[darkmoon459]

Sami repalcing Shahid Nazir ..................bad bad bad move.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Sami repalcing Shahid Nazir ..................bad bad bad move.

has that been confirmed?

 

[Daoud]

Lets hope these rumours are simply rumours

 

[DotCom]

Sami and Gul start will mean Gul has to be the line and length bowler... where Sami attacks ....

hopefully Sami is back to his 2003 self ... and can take wickets...

otherwise.. it will be a long day ...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

What the.....Nazir dropped???Nah this can't be right!!!

 

[infamous9383]

any new on team selection?

 

[Raz]

Despite me being a Sami supporter, I pray to God that Shahid Nazir hasn't been dropped because of him.

that would be diasaster

 

[Raz]

that would be diasaster

In terms of that Shahid Nazir simply doesn't deserve it. No ifs no but, no maybes.

 

[Asim2Good]

Nazir Dropped ?

 

[Officer Barbrady]

if Sami replaces Shahid, that will be a terrible, terrible decision. he doesn't deserve to be dropped. he has held his own very well and hasn't let the team down once. Sami should come in the place of Razzaq (if at all).

Quite right.

"Hello and Welcome for the LIVE coverage of the third and final Test match of the Bank Alfalah Cup. A match in which we may well be in for some records being broken. Yousuf will be eyeing to get his name up their on the list for having the most runs in a calendar year. On the other hand, Brian Lara needs 96 runs to become the first player to get 12,000 test runs to his name and if he does so, we might also witness him going onto equal Sachin Tendulkar for the most number of centuries in Test cricket. All in all, we are getting ready for some action packed, competitive five days of cricket."

 

[darkmoon459]

Do you guys think that MOYO will get 148 runs and break sir viv richards record ,if so will he do it in the first inning and then pile on some more for Ricky ponting to chase.
IMO MOYO will score somewhere arround 250 for the match!!!!!

 

[Genghis]

I don't think they will drop Nazir. That would be a big disapointment. I also hope that the news isn't correct and they haven't gone for Sami.

I will ask again, what did Samiullah do wrong to be excluded from the team?

 

[djkamii]

inshallah, yousuf will viv richards record.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Either way win or lose ,this will be an intresting match to watch ,First MOYO going for the record and then Lara ,I am hoping that both players set some new one today .
Intresting 5 days of cricket awaits us. Lets Play.
