I will not be suprised at all Younis looks like a guy who dosnt like conflict or hassle the only way they can play is if Malik and Misbah are dropped just cant see that happening. The easy way out is to open with them.

This is what I hate about Pakistan...no need to open with them..because they are not made to open and they will not be a "long term" solution! Also if they fail..totally will crush there confidence..they should play where they are comfortable to play..
 
I reckon Pakistan have got close but have lost, Razzaq is staking a claim to be in the odi team, expect him to do some damage.

well he has played all the players who joined the team for the odi's so credit to him for that...
 
The match got over abt half an hr ago and still we dont have an update

I'd be very suprised if both Fawad Alam and Umar Akmal aren't in the starting line up come thursday morning.

Perhaps they should be.

Imran Nazir and Misbah to sit out for sure...

both should be played...why not open with Malik and Kamran Akmal and leave Alam and Umar Akmal in the middle order....If Malik can't be dropped he should be asked to open.....
 
The Longer they delay..... The More pakistan's chance's of winning...

Because if pakistan had lost the update would have been done in 5 min.. now i think they have won it takes over 40 min.
 
Crapinfo totally ignore pakistan. Remember when india won 07 WC, the winning picture was on the site till that day that Pak won the WC two years later. Have anyone seen any pak pic on the site from that day?
 
Century for Akmal.. bravo..

All the updates come quick now.. too much to keep up.
 
had afridi hit couple of sixes up in the order, the result would have been different

But you forget, Malik is no opener....and becuase he is senior...he plays where he wants to play....anyway the problem is not Malik...it is Misbah.
No one has answered my question yet....what is Malik lacking as an ODI player....seems like people have some personal vendetta against him.
 
Razzaq 56 from 29 balls, good knock from him as well to go with his 4 wickets. Rao, Malik, Misbah OUT now please!
 
Actually let me retract that, malik is not so much of a problem in ODIs, one of Nazir or Jamshed will go out though for him.

He's not in good form in 1 day and t20. did you watch his performances in UAE and T20 WC?
 
Well Done - Fawad and Akmal Junior

Nice comeback from the Pakistan team. Imran Nazir, and Naser Jamshed remain clueless again. It is disappointing to see Misbah not able to get the form back yet. I hope he does well in the ODI series which will help Pakistan a lot.

Pakistan bowling remains impotent especially with Razzaq, Rana, Rao. That is what we have left with? At least, PCB should have recalled Sohail Tanveer. That doesn't sound good at all. PCB did very foolish move by overlooking Wahab Riaz who has done tremendous job recently in the Pakistan A tours of Australia, and Sohail Tanveer who happens to be new ball specialist is what Pakistan team badly needs. When will PCB learn?

Misbah can bowl? That is surprising.

Nothing ... i have been vehemently against this guy as far as test cricket goes ... but one day cricket is another matter ... he is a good odi player ... but Ahmed16 look at the performances of Fawad and Umar Akmal ... that was impressive stuff ... but how do you get Yousaf, Yk, Afridi, Umar Akmal, Fawad, Shoaib, Misbah all in the team ... i mean they certainly aren't gonna drop misbah are they?
 
wow Umar hit a 100? fantastic! he MUST play on the 30th then
 
If pakistan go with Umar Akmal, Fawad Alam in the same team with two specilist openers. Who is gonna bowl?

Afridi, Razzaq, Umar and Amer....is that it.

People blindly calling for the inclusion of two specialist bats to bat in there normal positions without considering team composition!!!!!

Why not? The guy is 35 going on 50, bats slowly, cant take singles, is just plain pakora.

well both so called specialist openers failed today, so it would be pretty dumb to persist with them regardless dont you think? The solution is to dump either one of nazir or jamshed and open with kamran akmal alongside. This freeing up the necessary spot for having both fawad and umar akmal playing.

Out of form perhaps, i cant believe, everyone is allowed a series or so where they are out of form...why not Malik? Ill say it again, people just have personal venedettas aginst the dude.

Seniority rule mate ... hopefully YK has the stones to drop him ... and i agree with you on people just wanting Fawad and Umar in the team without considering team composition ... ridiculous stuff

so you want to drop a young player like Nasir Jamshed after one bad performance ... and that too in a warm up

True, but youre gonna have Younus, Yousuf, Misbah, Umar and Fawad in the same order....jesus how many batsman do uou need.

And it still doesnt defeat the fact that we have 4 bowlers. put it this way Pakistan need to have 8 batsman in there side, 7 is not good enough given that two are very young and Umar in particular is untested at international level.
 
misbah is a one-dimensional batsman enough said "block or blast" , he should go. he cost pak against sl in the group matches in the t20 wc by batting in this style
 
how could a captain or cricket management not act on these things or why be so passive
