Pakistan to play warm-up games against Bangladesh and Australia ahead of #CT2017

[Amjid Javed]

Absolutely shameful that no Pak games will be telecast.

Get down to the game with a camera and film it for all of us

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

You lost to us in WC 15 Warmup game and there was no Sharjeel playing in that game.

We went easy on Pakistan that time, recent Odi between us we even humiliated you in the practice game where Sabbir made a ton. Now with Kayes 2.0 and Soumya 5.0 I fear for your bowlers

 

[super hitter]

Won't be surprised if Pak wins it...the trophy

 

[Nil Dhumrojal]

Won't be surprised if Pak wins it...the trophy

Won't be surprised if Pak looses every single match...

 

[super hitter]

Won't be surprised if Pak looses every single match...

Won't be surprised if bangladesh looses its first match by 250 runs

 

[saeed5646]

i hope Pakistan give epic phainty to bangladesh side just like world t20 so the myth of ban better side than

pakistan in neutral venue is put to rest

You guys do realize that this is a practice match? Both teams will be utilizing their batsmen/bowlers to experiment to get that final touch before the tourney begins. A win/lose here won't really serve much purpose except for ego boost. Only thing to take out of these practice matches is if the players are accumulating to the condition/wicket properly and to see who deserves to be in the playing XI for both team.

 

[SL_Fan]

Should be interesting looking forward to it. Also good to see that they have a reserve day for the final this time around.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

So, RSA and ENG will not play warmups as they will be involved in a bilateral series.

 

[captain crook]

Good to know that Pakistan will have played both the warm ups at Edgbaston before facing India. India will play both at the Oval. Advantage to us..

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

These warm ups will go a long way in showing what combo Micky will take

Is its Azhar and Shehzad opening, most will rightfully rage.

I hope its Fahkar and Professor

Also want Fahim to get a go, i expect little from Riaz and Junaid is hit and miss

I think it'll be Hafeez with Azhar.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

I think it'll be Hafeez with Azhar.

both will be more worried about their own skins

expect 30 in the first 10 unless we are playing sri lanka

 

[Rana]

Why is the ICC depriving London Pakistanis from watching Pakistan play?? All their games are mission away from London!

 

[Arsalan Pro]

We should give a try to Fakhar and Fahim in warmup games.

Actually, [MENTION=138254]Syed1[/MENTION] raises a good point about Azhar being banned for one ODI. With that in mind, Mickey might go with Hafeez and Shehzad/Fakhar in the warmups.

Really really hope he goes with Fakhar and Hafeez.

wouldn't the ban be passed considering he didnt play against WI ?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

That's why Haris should have been picked.

If Hafeez goes to opener then who takes no.4?

 

[Square Drive]

Could be, honestly.

Could someone please clarify? [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] [MENTION=133760]Abdullah719[/MENTION]

Sarfraz.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Sarfraz.

And my dear who takes Sarfraz's batting slot?

 

[Square Drive]

Malik at #5 and Umar at #6.

Anything else, my dear?

Sarfraz.

Honestly not sure but I do assume that the ban would have applied during the first ODI against WI, I haven't heard of a stipulation that the player must be in the squad for the one-match ban to apply.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Malik at #5 and Umar at #6.

Aren't we done with the Umar experiment? I am hoping he will do a good job in warming the bench.

Fair enough.

Yes and ideally I'd have Imad Wasim at #6 with Aamer Yamin at #7.

However with the current squad I'd rather Umar at #6 (usually turns up in ICC events) than a completely raw Fahim there. We have enough bowlers anyway and batting wise, Umar > Fahim quite easily.

 

[idrizzy]

Hearing people tear each other apart over 'Pak v Ban' as if they're top sides , come on get a grip. Would like to see consistency with the bat at the top, and good performance from the 4th and 5th bowlers (Basically other two bowlers with Amir, Hasan and Imad). Will probably get romped by Starc and co, but Ban should be a win

 

[murtuza.husain]

CT17 Warm Ups?

Are there any warm up matches scheduled for Pakistan? I do remember seeing something related on cricinfo but now these matches are no longer listed.

 

[murtuza.husain]

Thanks, whoever merged the threads! (Y)

 

[samiakh]

Are Warm Matches being televised?

The first one is tomorrow. Aus vs SL

 

[sadida97]

Only Indian ones I think
