Pakistan vs Australia | 3rd T20I | Dubai (DSC) | 10/09/12 |

[Shayan]

An hour to go till the start, can Pakistan seal a 3-0 whitewash?

Word from the ground is that the crowd is filling up nicely, expect a packed house like the last game. We also understand that Saeed Ajmal is not out there warming up with the rest of the team.

 

[MuqaddarKaSikandar]

good idea to give ajmal a rest .... Play sami in his place

 

[Luton Bad Boy]

Does that mean he will NOT get a chance to overtake Afridi as the highest wicket-taker in T20?

 

[Free Hit]

what a mess up by jackman in the studio lol white white white

 

[MRSN]

Saeed Ajmal playing

 

[MRSN]

only one change in Pak side, Arafat in for Tanvir

 

[asif9138]

pak won the toss ball first..only one change arafat in for tanvir!

 

[Free Hit]

pak bowling

 

[asif9138]

Aus one change as well maxwell in for D hussy

 

[sali]

Pak bowling first. Wrong decision. Only Yasir in for Tanvir.

 

[Asif321]

Nooooooooo sami

 

[asif9138]

no chance for shafiq and no rest for ajmal!

 

[asif9138]

pak should have given chances to others!

 

[Down2Earth]

looks like they want to practice chasing. we could do with playing under scoreboard pressure

 

[asif9138]

feel for semi and shafiq

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Tanvir out and best friend in

 

[bforme]

@Asif321, pitty that your favourite didn't get a game

 

[s28]

NO Sami , NO Shafiq, No Tanvir

I think this is the best team we've selected in this series.

 

[Asif321]

sami should have been played

 

[Sledger]

I though Ajmal had quite a bad injury? Should have been rested.

 

[Mohsin]

Ajmal should have gotten a rest...happy Sami isnt playing, keep him away far as possible!

 

[Sledger]

Great news that Pakistan haven't included Sami though.

 

[asif9138]

lets see how this will turn out to be!

 

[Legend Killer]

Why even bring Sami and Shafiq if you are not going to give them a chance? Pathetic

 

[asif9138]

M. akram talking right now

 

[adnan yasin]

arafat deserves a chance he bowled well in his last game as well .. he is better then tanvir any given day

this is his opportunity to get in to the playing 11 of the world cup team as well

 

[adnan yasin]

Why even bring Sami and Shafiq if you are not going to give them a chance? Pathetic

Because we need to select 15 players as per LAW

 

[*syed59*]

sami should be nowhere near this team....

arafat vs tanvir is a benefitting competition for places.

Shafiq should only be in a t20 sqaud unless Malik is seen backstabbing or playing politics. Otherwise he seems ok.

 

[Badsha]

Thank god Sami isn't playing! Today is a good day.

 

[asif9138]

M akram talking sence here

 

[Love Pakistan]

Good news that Tanvir is out... i dont like him a bit... Ajmal will overtake Afridi in most wickets in t20 internationals.

 

[cricketpassion]

We should have given rest to Ajmal and also see how we do without him

 

[asif9138]

we should restrict AUS at 140+

 

[Badsha]

Mohammad Akram seems to hold the importance of fast bowling.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

LOL at our bowling coach )

 

[cricketpassion]

Thank God Tanveer is not playing

 

[asif9138]

saath kamran is talking now

 

[Free Hit]

what a goon akmal lol.

 

[Badsha]

Why do our players barring Younis Ajmal and Shoaib give such boring interviews?

 

[bforme]

Yes Sami is a useless bowler.He is just a domestic bully.Thought Shafiq would get a game.But the plan seems to be different.It is mission whitewash

 

[Badsha]

LOL at our bowling coach )

What was so funny about him? :/

 

[asif9138]

i hope arfat perform well and kick out kukri

 

[Badsha]

Honestly I wouldn't even watch our bowling with much interest if Sami was playing (and Ajmal wasn't). This will be a good game.

 

[speed]

Mohammad Akram, Pakistan bowling coach, on his approach: "A bowler should go through the physical and mental grind for two years in domestic cricket. He should also be taught to handle the media and should be groomed before he comes to the international level. We used to bowl for two hours at a stretch. Nowadays, players watch their videos and are happy to bowl for 15 minutes. We don't have as much talent now as we used to. I want talented youngsters to be given annual training programmes and I want to monitor them. I am confident we will unearth good talent, fast bowlers as well as spinners. As long as I am there, it should not be that a player is removed after playing one match. I want to guide a player how to react in various situations."

 

[Strike!]

I think as useless as Sami is, We should have given him at least a match here.

 

[asif9138]

coach had some plans in his mind.i hope he implement them!!

RAHAT ALI says Hello !

 

[Sledger]

It's unbelievable how some people can still want Sami in the team or think he warrants a place in the squad. Just unbelievable.

 

[*syed59*]

Why do our players barring Younis Ajmal and Shoaib give such boring interviews?

someone just called him a goon... maybe thats why.

it'll always be a goony interview...

 

[srh]

Try Razzler at #3 and Malik at #4.

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

What was so funny about him? :/

the way he speaks

 

[Thees_Mar_Khan]

We should have rested Gul for Sami. Good that Arafat is getting a game, but since T20 WC is in SL, I think Tanvir will be better choice over him. Shafiq should not be selected for T20's. Better to have someone like Hammad or Ramiz Raja Jr.

[Badsha]

The match is about to start and my Shawarma is still not here...

[waqar goraya]

Good team selection i think...I did not understand why only Arafat has been brought in..Should have been an unchanged side ..otherwise 2 or 3 changes should have been made...

 

[Badsha]

Get them out under 45, wrap it up.

 

[Strike!]

Talk of karahi.
