Thanks Saj, I was just about to create the thread! Good to have a game in Karachi again. I would have gone but I'm going to the 20-20 tomorrow instead. Expect that to be a good atmosphere.


As for today, i hope we win the toss and bat first with Bazid, Naumanullah, and Alam all getting time in the middle.
 
Let's see what Wahab Riaz can do, his domestic record isn't nearly as impressive as Sohail Khan's.
 
Younis Khan, Naumnallah, Wahab Riaz playing

Fawad, Bazid, Sohail Khan rested
 
good that Naumanullah is playing but why not rest Yousuf, instead of Fawad?
 
Hope you are all tuned into the live commentary...
 
the commentary doesn't seem to be working for me!

Shoaib Malik: "Winning is winning, it's not in our hands who our opponents are."


What a retard...


dont see why he is a retard for saying that?

Actually he has a point, it's the board who decide the opponents not the team.
 
this is a joke ..... Fawad Alam is rested ..... and really what is the purpose of Yousuf playing in this game??? Should have rested Yousuf for sure and continued with Alam the poor guy hasn't even had a proper chance all series...

I know its the "in thing" to bash Malik for everything he's worth these days but lets not get carried away by picking apart and analyzing every little thing the guy says. If he said, "its only Bangladesh", you guys would be complaining as well. Make up your minds and gain some perspective, for the love of God.

I guess Alam's ODI average of 65 at 106 SR is just not good enough for the selectors :21:
 
Actually, i never bashed Malik before.

Im gettint the idea that he's going for the "record", en because of that he doesnt want to play with more newer players...
 
Alam dropped after 3 games and about 3 deliveries at the crease. Yousuf, Malik, Afridi, Akmal, Butt, and Misbah play all 5 games!


I feel sick
 
- I have a feeling that Yousuf is insisting on playing rather than the selectors/team management giving him 5 ODIs.

- There is no point for Younis to be making himself available for the last game. Can the guy make up his mind about anything?
 
Oh and we're back to not having a 6th bowling option. Real clever this; Play akmal as opener and in his place bring an extra batsman. Mind-blowing.
 
Can we just let Pakistan win ? This is pretty much off season for the team - let them regroup and keep in practice. Just let it be.
 
Why have Sarfraz in the squad? Why didn't they send him with the academy team?
 
What Channel is This on?

does not appear to be on ARY like it usually does..

I agree with Captain Shoaib Bashing seems to be going a little too far.
 
53/1 8 overs good stuff from pakistan so far hope salman goes to make another 100 today...also hopefully we will see some boom boom action today
 
Absolutely smashed through the cover, next ball plays through wide mid off for 4

Looks in ominous form...
 
73/1 off 11 overs

listening to Saj and now Oxy, I really feel like commentating as well :P
 
Salman gets down on one leg, and sweeps it to the midwicket boundary for 4, good shot

86/1
 
What is the point of bringing Younis Khan back into the side? why not give Alam or B Khan another chance?
Especially Alam, the guy hardly had any chance to bat.
 
6666666666666666

Butt slog sweeps over midwicket, high and wide, and just clears the rope :19:
 
So we know have Butt doing well against India and Bangladesh,..

he is slowly getting there.
 
I just hope Salman carries on showing anything resembling this sort of form against tougher opposition. He's still young and already has a test century against Aussies in Australia, if he can become more consistent, he'll certainly be a vital part of the long term plans.
 
mohammad akram ripping apart the selectors .. well done sir .. thnx for giving us a voice !!

:14: :14: :14:
 
Younis down the track and just... just clears the fielder at long on for 4

120/1
 
130-1

PAk need to score big

Really pummel BD into the ground
 
Another single to end the over.. Pak 132/1.. Pakistan is heading towards a big score.
