[Khabri420]

From cricinfo:

8.50am "Guyana National Stadium is COMPLETELY SOLD OUT. Despite the best efforts of a few detractors the Guyanese people have shown full support!" So said WICB's Twitter around midnight. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions as to who "the detractors" are. However, sample this immediate response from a Twitter user named Alicia: "@westindies WTH! make no mistake i have not met one #Guyanese who is not pissed about the treatment of #chanderpaul but we love our #cricket."

Be that as it may, it is good to imagine a full house in the West Indies. We need more of those. Time to lime at the Providence Stadium.

 

[Hassan0987]

Taufeeq and Wahab back in the team.. hm

 

[talha3]

so let me get this straight:
hammad, tanvir, shafiq replaced for umar, wahab, taufeeq

 

[Khabri420]

Now that's what I am talking about, tickets are sold out...yaa maan!

 

[Hassan0987]

Shafiq and Tanvir out..

 

[JibranAnsari]

misbah dropped . YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[TaZ]

Pakistan have won the toss and are batting first. Taufeeq Umar comes back for them, and also Wahab Riaz. Out go Asad Shafiq and Tanvir Ahmed

 

[Inswinger]

According to Cricinfo, Wahab and Taufeeq are in - Asad and Tanveer out

 

[thecricket]

Taufeeq Umar comes back for them, and also Wahab Riaz. Out go Asad Shafiq and Tanvir Ahmed

 

[Rizz Khan]

Taufeeq And Wahab Comes In.

 

[M.A.G]

akmal for asad and taufeeq for azam.

cant beleave it. damn it.

hammad cammon. what is this.

 

[Inswinger]

Hafeez, Shehzad, Taufeeq, Misbah, Usman, Hammad, Afridi, Salma, Riaz, Junaid, Ajmal

According to Cricinfo

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Eh.. since it's last match can't cry too much. Had to give Taufeeq a chance to do something rather then assume he was going to fail. Sorry to see Shafiq not play, guy was in form! But he will be back for sure!

 

[KingKhanWC]

No Umar Akmal!

 

[Inswinger]

So Umar Akmal is not playing?

 

[Khabri420]

Yeh Salma kaun hai

I just hope we finish on a high going into the test series and win this one.

 

[talha3]

misbah dropped . YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

lol you wish. but he's in.

 

[Hassan0987]

Hammad dropped,Umar takes his place..

 

[Inswinger]

Hafeez
Shehzad
Taufeeq
Misbah
Usman
Umar
Afridi
Salman
Riaz
Junaid
Ajmal

Gonna be boring...

 

[TaZ]

Pakistan have won the toss and are batting first. Taufeeq Umar comes back for them, and also Wahab Riaz and Umar Akmal. Out go Asad Shafiq, Hammad Azam and Tanvir Ahmed.

 

[talha3]

forget cricinfo, believe west indies twitter. umar akmal is playing for hammad!

editld you. now cricinfo have updated theirs too

 

[ads101]

Azam dropped for taufeeq..strange choice.also akmal in for misbah

the whole point of this is to play Ahmed shehzad and Taufeeq close, ie 2 and 3. Thus they can compare them. If Ahmed Shehzad fails (and especially if Taufeeq succeeds), I expect Shehzad will be dropped.

 

[JibranAnsari]

eff it . misbah still in the team.

 

[TaZ]

Mohammad Hafeez, Ahmed Shehzad, Taufeeq Umar, Misbah-ul-Haq, Umar Akmal, Shahid Afridi*, Mohammad Salman†, Junaid Khan, Saeed Ajmal, Usman Salahuddin, Wahab Riaz

 

[Khabri420]

Only change for Windies is no Roach?

 

[talha3]

Only change for Windies is no Roach?

yep, martin instead.

 

[Imr4n_Khan]

According to cricinfo this is the playing XI

1.Hafeez
2.Shehzad
3.Taufeeq
4.Misbah
5.Umer
6.Usman
7.Afridi
8.Salman
9.Wahab
10.Junaid
11.Ajmal

 

[Hando]

What Bawkwas hope it rains out!

 

[Poison]

We're putting out a team to win today.

 

[JibranAnsari]

taufeeq umar for asad.

 

[Hassan0987]

Hammad Azam should have played I think

 

[JibranAnsari]

ah , will i ever see umar akmal at 4?

 

[Radiance Of Australis]

Hammad dropped?

 

[ads101]

What is strange is they've got Usman in for hammad.

One big score for Usman, even a 50, and he'll take Hammad's spot most likely. Which is a bit unfair, the guy's had hardly any chances to prove himself.

Should of stuck to just trying out one of Usman or Hammad in the middle order for the moment.

 

[KingKhanWC]

So Umar is playing, good news. Even though he is only 20 our(ODI) batting line up is not complete without him.

 

[ozzy_07]

I'm fine with all the changes other than Hamaad Azam being dropped- he should have played instead of Taufeeq, who has no place in the current ODI team.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Taufeeq down at six. Strange move.

 

[TaZ]

shafiq has a calf problem

 

[Hando]

Asad Shafiq not feeling well/Ill

 

[Inswinger]

According to Afridi - Asad isn't feeling well. Calf issue.

 

[farsiddiqui]

We're putting out a team to win today.

We would have kept Asad in, if that was the case.

But I see what you mean. Playing Wahab instead of giving Sadaf a chance.

Bringing back Umar Akmal and ousting Hammad...

 

[Inswinger]

Taufeeq down at six. Strange move.

That means nothing. He'll be coming in at 3

 

[Hando]

hope taufeeq and hafeez open, like one pper mentioned Ahmed in middle order is not a bad idea

 

[Poison]

Afridi down for a big one today

 

[Inswinger]

We would have kept Asad in, if that was the case.

But I see what you mean. Playing Wahab instead of giving Sadaf a chance.

Bringing back Umar Akmal and ousting Hammad...

Asad out with a calf issue.

 

[M.A.G]

may be they wanna try hafeez at number 6. might be intresting to see him bat at 6.

 

[Poison]

This must be the least talked about Pakistan series since PP expanded

 

[M.A.G]

guess i am wrong.

 

[mZj]

why the heck have they dropped hammad azam :S

 

[Looney]

Shafiq not playing ?

 

[Hassan0987]

We need to win this one, 4-1 looks much better than 3-2

 

[Smooth_Operator]

shafiq has a calf problem

Inshallah will be better soon!

 

[Hando]

Yess Taufeeq is openeing

 

[Inswinger]

TAufeeq opening!

 

[talha3]

[M.A.G]

[Smooth_Operator]

 

[saj001]

Finally atmosphere around the stadium doesn't feel like funeral.

 

[M.A.G]

first ball boundry.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Hafeez carrying on from the last game.4

Flat deck. 300 is on.

 

[ZAK]

Salaam everybody.

 

[AZ]

And we're off.

 

[cricketpassion]

This is 300 runs pitch

 

[Smooth_Operator]

Hafeez looking like a smooth operator..

 

[Khabri420]

Would have been interesting if they played all the youngstas and even Afridi sat out.

 

[Inswinger]

And goes by the outside edge...

 

[KingKhanWC]

Healthy crowd in.

6 off the first.

 

[ZAK]

2 to Hafeez.

 

[Batman]

Pakistan | 0/6 | 1 Over

6 off the over!

 

[slblack]

Asad Shafiq out? Seriously?

What kind of clowns were incharge of team selection that did this?

 

[saj001]

Hafeez needs another big score today.
