I hope they have the target in mind to qualify for world cup ... they need to be in top 8 till 2017 september
 
We can say what we want about Younis not deserving an ODI spot, but he's a true beauty.
 
Hope that Younis Khan scores a fifty since it's his last match.

Although he doesn't deserve it after his antics to get selected for one-days.
 
We will the game DW about that. But it boggles my mind that someone like bilal Asif has been selected to play at this level. He's not good in any facet of the game. This should be the end of his international career after this game.
He is a good bowler. You just can't discard him after one game. This is insane thinking.
 
Hafeez looking in Majestic touch, he should have been opening!

I think some of the reactions are a bit OTT. His batting is leading to negative perceptions of his bowling. 4 overs really isn't enough to gauge a bowler at all. He won't be dropped two matches after taking a five-fer. I hope he never bats anywhere above 7 again, though. Anwar is a better batsman, probably. :facepalm:
 
Id forgotten anwar was back in the side. No need to worry boys, crazy eyes anwar to finish the game for us

Batting wise he is funny ha ha.
 
ARE PEOPLE SERIOUSLY DEFENDING ASIF? Guys please... Please have some self respect. He's a joke of a player.
 
What on earth is this obsession PP has wtih Bilal Asif?? He's the definition of a mediocre bits and pieces cricketer, and the fact that he's opening is such a horrendous joke.

WHEN WILL THEY OPEN WITH BABAR AZAM?
 
Anwar is a better batsman, probably. :facepalm:

When you say the above and realize the guy is opening for our international side then only do you realize how dumb and idiotic our management truly is. A batsman who is not even better than our current No.7 and has a mighty domestic average of 17 :facepalm:

I would rather have Younis opening to be honest....

I don't understand the thought process. Wish someone would ask the management.
 
Should send babar next not malik. Malik and sarf can wait theyve proven themselves

What are you talking about?! If you're talking about ONE match he did well, it's just as relevant the two matches he's been average.

I'm not saying I agree with it, but we needed a 6th bowler with Hafeez not allowed to bowl and Harris injured. Babar is pretty untested in that regard.

Bilal has only recently started his career, so his stats may not be all encompassing due to small sample size. They obviously believe he has talent, and his recent form in T20s made management believe he could open and get Pak off to a good start.
 
Why is management batting Babar Azam SIXTH and opening with Bilal Asif!?! What other country in the world is dumb enough to do this?

And now we're done.
 
Soft dismissal from younis. His last odi so congrats on an ok career i guess younis. Hes a test great no doubt
 
younis khan doing what he does best unable to find the gap and getting out. Thankfully it will be for the last time.

Imad will replace bilal in the 11 when hes fit.
 
Sigh. And Pakistan will lose a totally winnable match, because as usual the batting attack folds against anyone marginally decent.
