Really disappointed with the side. How Asad finds himself out of the side (especially with younis khan playing at three) is mind boggling. And Farhat opening too. Junaid should have got a game (Cheema's a good bowler, but it's worth playing junaid as he's younger and better to play him in this format and let him play as much international cricket to develop).

Oh and the return of razzaq to :facepalm

Still hope they win.
 
Mohammad: "Seeing this over of Cheema, is reminding me of old days when Shoaib Akhtar used to run in steaming.. Same atmosphere, great temperament by the bowler... lovely to watch...."

It's the first game, Junaid really needed a break imo after Tests, don't want him to burn out. Shafiq was unlucky, but then again we've got some competition for places, YK deserved to be in the side.
 
Pakistani team looked really charged=?? what are their smoking these days??

Shafiq can open as well .... to fit in players ... or sarfaraz can open as well with hafeez.... sarfaraz has played as a regular opener for PIA
 
Razzaq is a new ball bowler do not want him to bowl ??????

Razzaq is a nothing bowler really.
Would be better if Misbah's bring Afridi straightaway after these two. Save Razzaq for when there is no PP.
 
Pitch looks awesome. Great job by the curators.
 
Good news of the match , umar akmal at number 5. Not sure why asad has to sit out, what does tests have to do with limited over format?
 
Sarfraz as opener that would be asking too much from him.

International cricket is asking for too much :) some times .. and above all he has opened in domestic circuit just to prove a point that he can bat at this position

so then go for it now...

Understand your reasoning for Junaid, but he's young and I personally felt he should have played.

Asad's exclusion isn't really right. Younis Khan didn't really deserve to play that much, he hasn't looked good in limited overs in recent years. A couple of good ODIs against Zimbabwe doesn't change anything. Not to mention we need for him to focus on tests these days (as he's getting old). I'd understand moving Asad around the order (opening perhaps) but dropping him completely is unfair. And of course there's no reasoning why Farhat should be playing ahead of Asad :))).
 
and theres the four ball required every over on the legs.
