[saiyan0312]

windies win the toss and they bat.... reason is bcz he thinks the pitch will be dry and will suit their spinners. we need to keep them under 150.

 

[saiyan0312]

Team news?

 

[saiyan0312]

indies are playing gabriel.

 

[hur rizvi]

Zulfiqar Babar, Hammad and Umar Amin in.

Very good, though i would have liked Haris ahead of Amin, Excellent that Tanvir isnt playing

 

[asif9138]

babar, amin and hammad...yes happy for hammad

 

[HASHAM2]

Z.Babar spin Going to take few wickets

 

[saiyan0312]

amin,zulfiqar and hammad are on.... playing amin over haris... that is surprising but no kukkri.

 

[WebGuru]

Harris should have played instead of Amin well nice team overall good to see new faces...

 

[KB-24]

Good to see Ajmal being rested, and Hammad in the line up. However, don't understand Amin's selection over Haris.

 

[HASHAM2]

Team

Shahzad
Jamshed
Hafeez C
Umar amin
Umar akmal WK/Bat
Hammad azam
Lala
Zulfi
Aju
Juni
Irfan

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Disappointed not see haris. One merit he should gotten in but I Guess they could not find a top order spot , plus they wanted Amin to have a go

 

[asif9138]

4 spinners

 

[saiyan0312]

cmon babar and hammad and amin too... make a good impact especially hammad so that we will never ever see kukkri again.

 

[Sandman]

Excellent to see new faces in the playing 11.

 

[ritzy_123]

Very good, though i would have liked Haris ahead of Amin, Excellent that Tanvir isnt playing

same thoughts

 

[asif9138]

happy for the team.

 

[ritzy_123]

cmon babar and hammad and amin too... make a good impact especially hammad so that we will never ever see kukkri again.

yeah

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

No Kukri.....Allahu Akbar!!!!!

I second this

 

[Maher96]

Looks like a Spin friendly pitch.

 

[Square Drive]

Pakistan XI:

Ahmed Shehzad, Nasir Jamshed, Mohammad Hafeez (C), Umar Amin, Umar Akmal (WK), Shahid Afridi, Hammad Azam, Zulfiqar Babar, Saeed Ajmal, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Irfan

No Asad Ali, Haris Sohail, Sohail Tanvir, or Wahab Riaz.

In my opinion, Haris was a must for T20s while Amin suits ODI cricket. But the management thought the opposite. :/

Anyways, not a bad XI. Let's do this, lads!

 

[TimOCruz]

To be honest, I would have liked to see Haris Sohail instead of either Afridi or Babar or Ajmal.

We need an extra bat and Sohail has some serious talent

 

[saiyan0312]

Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, Mohammad Hafeez*, Umar Amin, Umar Akmal†, Shahid Afridi, Hammad Azam, Zulfiqar Babar, Saeed Ajmal, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Irfan

this is the line up. ... we are playing 7 bowlers and the last four are specialist bowlers.

 

[Runner Up]

Geo reporting that it's raining there.

 

[asif9138]

game to start in 20 mins

 

[Sandman]

Kukri should resort to money making leagues, International cricket aint his cup of tea.

 

[TimOCruz]

The question is, will Hafeez open the bowling?

 

[HamzaSaeen]

No kukri... lets party tonight!

 

[Square Drive]

Pakistan going in with 4 spinners and 4 pacers (which includes Hammad and Amin). I personally think they needed another genuine pacer alongside Irfan and Junaid. Amin shouldn't bowl in a T20, as it's a high-risk policy. Even Hammad shouldn't bowl more than 2 overs.

 

[Asif321]

zulfi to get 5 wicket haul

 

[WebGuru]

Nice to see Zulfiqar with green cap...

 

[KB-24]

Umar at no.5

 

[HamzaSaeen]

Umar Amin getting t20 cap

 

[WebGuru]

No kukri... lets party tonight!

Ramadan ke baad...

 

[saiyan0312]

well looks like hafeez may under use himself or may not use himself at all.

 

[asif9138]

glad no kukri

 

[WebGuru]

In my opinion, Haris was a must for T20s while Amin suits ODI cricket. But the management thought the opposite. :/

Agree with you Amin is better for longer games Harris should have played but well overall looks balanced side...

 

[Alamgeer]

V good team. But ideally i would have haris in and shehzad out. Hafeez and Nasir opening.

 

[saiyan0312]

should irfan have been rested? maybe try another batsmen and rest him but we will lack pacers.

 

[asif9138]

babar is oldest man to make debut in t20?

 

[Dan08]

How big are the boundaries? Looks like quite a small ground.

 

[hur rizvi]

Is it raining there??

 

[saiyan0312]

babar is oldest man to make debut in t20?

no brad hogg played and he was 40

 

[asif9138]

match to begin in 15 mins

 

[PTI tsunami]

glad no kukri

I've just noticed that hallelujah

 

[WebGuru]

* Badree average 16.62 with the ball in last 6 T20 matches he played while Narine average 17.23 in last 11 matches.

 

[Dan08]

no brad hogg played and he was 40

Hogg debuted aged 35.

 

[zains_rulez]

Nice team hope for the best results

 

[Dan08]

Babar doesn't even make the oldest T20 debutants list. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283460.html

 

[saiyan0312]

Only Miran Bakhsh made his Pakistan debut at an age more than Zulfiqar Babar's 34 years and 229 days today

for pakistan he is second oldest....

Predict WI score ?

 

[asif9138]

perdict WI total?

 

[asif9138]

i think WI will score 124!

 

[saiyan0312]

man i hope gul wont be missed in this match... he is a great T20 player.

 

[Sledger]

Team selection is decent, maybe too many bowling options but oh well, let's see how they're used. Good to see Hammad ahead of Tanvir.

 

[yeh_cheezzz]

Babar is surprise for me... why add more bowlers when your batting is a problem?
You have Irfan, Junaid, Ajmal, Hafeez, Afridi and Hammad then you add Babar also...

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Excellent team! Should have played a specialist batsman in place of one of the spinners though. But nevertheless, good team. No kukri! Good to see Hammad in there.

There are no weak bowlers in there!

 

[GuruG]

 

[asif9138]

WEBGURU can you tell me the Hafeez's batting average in t20 as a captain?

 

[Sledger]

Four spinners lol.

Who is kukri?

 

[shehzadd]

Teams?

Very sad news for Pak again. Umar amin and Hammad selected. These r not gud enough to play international cricket. Shame on selection again.
Fawad alam was deserving here again but u select hammad . And Umar amin is never near to international cricket.

Poor selector has to tell us the batting ave and bowling ave of hammad. Razzaq, alam and many better allrounders are thr waiting.

 

[cricketjoshila]

Best and Gabriel some chin music expected.

 

[asif9138]

8 mins to go

 

[HamzaSaeen]

As much as I hate Hafeez as a player, he is a good kuptaan.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Hafeez's team selection seems better and more aggressive than Misbah's

 

[mosh101]

Good team ! Looking forward to seeing zulfiqar babar play !

Should have played haris over amin :/
