What's new

Warm up game: Pakistan -vs- Sri Lanka Cricket XI

I think Alam has done his job. He's earned a call up to the test squad, and now it's time for the bowlers to make a mark.

The 2 finds in the first innings have been:

Fawad Alam 83 off 114 not out, and 1-17 off 6 overs
Abdur Rauf 39 off 31 not out, and 2-62 off 16 overs

They are certain to be picked for the 1st test.
 
what will be the final lineup for the first test...will malik, manzoor, misbahh, abdur razzaq be in the final xi...what position will fawad play at?

Do you really think Fawad Alam was responsible for the wicket? It was most likely the mistake of the batsman. I've seen Alam bowl in 50 over and 20 over matches and he's one of the worst bowlers I've ever seen, no offence to him and his fans. His batting should secure him a place in the first test though

Rauf maybe, Alam no chance
 
I think its going to be a battle b/w Razzaq and Alam.
 
I see Razzaq out of this squad, with Rauf taking his spot.

My XI

Salman Butt (the subcontinent nemesis)
Khurram Manzoor (shown promise, earns a spot)
Younis Khan (the ever laughing captain, worthy of his spot)
Mohammed Yousuf (if he fails in this test, he takes the axe, too many deserving players for this spot)
Misbah ul-Haq (though out of form, he still is worthy of his spot)
Fawad Alam ( most deserving of the lot)
Kamran Akmal (the dependable batsman at 7)
Abdur Rauf (deserves a test afer this showing)
Umar Gul ( our spearhead)
Mohammed Aamer (deserves a try at the highest level)
Ajmal/Kaneria (whichever of the two shine in this last innings gets the spot)

was this a joke? do you see any player more deserving than him to be in this squad? or are you another mamoo of the famous bhanja saving bhanja the spot?

Just one spinner in SL wouldn't be wise since pacers can't bowl long spells there in the weather and all. Either you can put Shoaib Malik instead of Misbah or Ajmal/Kaneria instead of either Abdur Rauf or Mohd. Aamer
 
I think they will go with this:

1. butt
2. manzoor
3. younis
4. yousuf
5. malik
6. misbah
7. kamran
8. rauf
9. gul
10. amir
11. kaneria
 
To be honest, that might be team whether we may or may not like.

Salman Butt
Shoaib Malik
Younus Khan
Mohammad Yousuf
Misbah Haq
Fawad Alam or Faisal Iqbal or Abdul Razzaq
Kamran Akmal
Umar Gul
Abdur Rauf or Mohammad Aamer
Saeed Ajmal
Danish Kaneria

To spinners are expected in the lankan very batsmen friendly little spin pitches in the entire test series. I think it will either two fast bowlers with 2 specialist spinners or two fast bowlers with 2 specialist spinners along with one alrounder.

I personally am not a fan of his bowling , but he has certainly been doing something right to be getting wickets and runs, right?

Best bowler in 20-20 domestic, i doubt they were all the "batsman's mistakes".

I know you'll say but this is test cricket , etc etc.. But he has certainly shown that even in the toughest form, he was able to take a wicket, whereas, none of the other bowlers (namely Kaneria and Ajmal) were able to get the batsman to "make a mistake".

Now that makes this wicket worthy of recognition!

I would take Malik in place of Misbah.

Makes sense, I would opt to drop Aamer in spinning conditions, but before making my choice, i'll wait to see how Aamer does here, uptil now, not so great, 10 runs of 1.1 overs, and none for 26 off 8 overs in the first innings.

Why the hell did he get only 8 overs??
 
I think they gave Alam a chance in the warm up so he cant complain he didnt played at all during the tour. I dont think he will be in final XI for any of the test match during this tour unless someone gets injured. Bhanja will definitely get a chance during this series I hate bhanja...........

I do not hate Bhanja, he may not be deserving of the spot, but regardless, when he's been put in there, he gives it his best, even if his best is not enough to make the XI. So please, do not hate someone who has done nothing to you.
 
Bhanja is not going to get a chance atall now.

I think Alam will miss 1st match as both Malik and Missba will play but after losing the match, Alam will come into the second test squad in place of either Malik or Misbah (whichever player flunks)

This isnt India vs. West Indies where we turn out to be 88/8

By the way, you've finally come out of hiding.. Great to see.

Never saw you after the game, and when we won the cup :13:

And then if India lose early wickets or Gayle starts to hit out, Would he go to attend some very urgent work?

Damn dude, i'm scared of him.
He could decide to change his name from:
SheerIndianPace in memory of Anil Kumble
to
SheerPakistaniPace for his new idol Danish Kaneria.

Could you imagine how fast this guy is.

Just look for anything and I mean it anything negative towards Pakistan, and it will be him.

He has his signature style. :)))

No. He'll come back after 2 weeks, and say, I was alwaYYSS here. Alll of you at PP were too drunk to notice.

It doesn't matter whether India lose or Pakistan wins, i'm not the one who hides behind anything.Maybe you guys think everyone is like you.

ok enough trolling for today seriously. come back some other day.
 
AND BACK TO THE GAME:

34/0.

Pakistani new ball attack not being able to make any break through.

Rauf started out with a few tight overs at the top, but Aamer let all the pressure off.
Now Aamer gaining some control, and Rauf being hit for a few.

We need tight overs from both ends to put on the pressure.

Certainly has to do with drinking, quite many people at PP could see that.

And laughing over stupidities, I dont think you want me to bump that thread between Pakistan and South Africa. You'd have to eat your every word.

Quite delusional posts before the match, i must add.

You certainly do fit your words.
 
Ok, enough with the trolling meagerindianpace,

That my dear friends, was entertainment during the match.

now, back to the match.

We need a bowling change, but we are short of pace bowlers, only Razzaq left in the pace department, not putting my hopes up too high

good to see you back sheer"lack of"indianpace. i though u had unjoined the forum after pakistan's victory.
 
Our bowling department should be pretty strong in a few months time with quite many reserves available too.

Gul
Asif
Aamer
Afridi
Ajmal

My reserves:
Rauf
Kaneria
Tanvir
Talha
Sohail Khan
Razzaq

Bowlers who could chip in:
Younis
Malik
Fawad

What we need are strike bowlers, and with the return of Asif, and hopefully, Aamer learning to control his line, we could have 2 destructive strike bowlers bowling side by side.

You certainly are a "bush" in the making.

maybe this quote of his makes most sense to you:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKgPY1adc0A&feature=related

Have you ever heard of, if one person thinks you are at fault, you are not, if two, you may not, but if the whole world thinks so, there certainly is.

Now go at your Indian Pace and ask your mom what the fault is, and come back at that same pace in about 2 weeks time.
 
forgot to add, the dramatic indian music line....

TADA.... TADDD TADDDD TADDDD TADAAAAA... (screen shaking)

Sorry but its not the whole world its just some fellows like you who are supporting you.
One fellow for example Waqar Akram kept making fun of me after Pak won the title yet he is trying to say that i vanished after that, how very interesting.

In any case i don't want to argue with you any further.
 
Calm down, Everyone!

Fine start from the Pakistan bowlers. Younus is also bowling now.

i dont know, we havent been able to get a breakthrough uptil now. we need to have a potent new ball attack and keep the opening partnership below 40 at least.

Razzler is bowling some tight overs here, And Ajmal got welcomed by a sixer from Tharanga.
 
They are hitting Ajmal out here, a tactic to konck him out of contention for a test spot?
 
Younis should have let Fawad get his century, the bowlers only need around 60 overs in the second inns to get some more practice.
 
Last Bat WU Tharanga c †Kamran Akmal b Saeed Ajmal 44 (60b 5x4 1x6) SR: 73.33

Fall of wicket: 66/1 (20.1 ov); Partnership: 66 runs, 20.1 overs, RR: 3.27
 
Better start by Kaneria, just has given 4 in his 1st 2 overs with one maiden.
 
Thats more like Kaneria we know, he has more RPO than Ajmal now :)))
 
This makes selection so much easier now .. Faisal iqbal , Danish kaneria , Abdur Razzaq wont be playng the 1st test so the line up should look something like this:
1. Salman Butt
2.Khurram Manzoor
3.YK
4.Yousuf
5.Misbah
6.Fawad
7.Kami
8.Rauf
9.Gul
10.Aamer
11.Ajmal
 
Did I read that correctly? Is there actually someone named 'SheerIndianPace'?! :O ...Isn't that an oxymoron?
 
in the final squad their should be khurram manzoor,fawad alam,abdul rauf these 3 did it in this warm up game
 
must have been agreement between captains to make a game of it but do not understand why they have not sent yousuf and misbah out to get some batting practice

75 needed off 20 overs

Anyone care to hazard a guess at Mohammad Yousuf's first class average in 2009?

Here are his last few List A or First Class performances

5, 21, 25, 14 (scorecards below)

An average of 16

At the moment the guy is living on reputation from 2006 season which at his age is not good enough for him to be in the team.

Prior to that the last time he turned out for Pakistan in the 2008 Asia Cup his scores were also pretty poor 19,21,30.
