One stupid commentator after another. He is saying the ball is 11 overs old and still moving. Doesn't he know that there are two ball being used.
 
It's funny how some of you actually expect Younis to be dropped, he's a 'senior player', he can't possibly be 'dropped' unless he's in woeful form. Reality is, with Pakistan and basically even India and Sri Lanka, it's the younger players who face the chop to accommodate another player, so with that idea clearly it had to be Shafiq, who had to go if Hammad was to come in, unfortunately, it appears Misbah doesn't rate Hammad to highly, definetly not as a bowler. He didn't bowl him even once against England and Hammad took three wickets in 4 overs in his only BPL game just a day after the England series. Unfortunately, the think tank, whether it's Misbah or Whatmore are being defensive before the game starts. Younis, Umer, Misbah and Shafiq, thats 4 specialist batsmen in the middle and then there's Sarfraz coming in at number 8, that's pretty useless. This essentially means, the only bowling options are Gul, Cheema, Hafeez, Afridi and Ajmal so no bowler can have a bad day, well maybe Younis can roll his arm but that's a far cry. The point is, playing an extra batsman means, you're expecting the batting to fail every now and then but if you're top order doesn't fire, chances are, your lower order won't either and even if it does, it can't bail you out every other game.
 
PCB should discuss with ICC regarding bringing in bonus runs for the patience shown by the openers.

Imagine Pakistan having to chase a 300+ score against Sri Lanka and India!!
 
very considerate of the Pak batsmen to swap around the 'boring middle overs' so that we get to enjoy electrifying cricket form overs 20-50
 
Now hafeez can captain Pakistan learning the art of tuk tuk from misbah the legend
 
Hope they at least have some sense and play around with the batting order today

It would be ridiculous to send in Shafiq then YK then Misbah

These two have already done their job
 
Hafeez the opening batsman averages 26 after playing 96 ODIs why is he opening

Jamshed places the ball very nicely and he then has the big shots to back up his game.
 
I guess they're thinking 250 will be enough, Ajmal Afridi can take care of the rest so not really willing to take risks

Pathetic, defensive mentality in my opinion
 
That must be the most pathetic attempt at cashing in a free hit.
I don't think Hafiz and Jamshed can score at 5 an over against a high school girls team!!

I'm sure the are thinking... Let's play sensible cricket and see where it takes us....
 
60/0 - much better from these two. I'd still send in Shafiq at 3. Umar at 4 and then depending on the situation for the others. Really YK should not be playing.
