From cricinfo:

Waseem: "Hafeez has not bowled a single over yet, and we are already in 66th over. It seems that professor was not fit to play the match but he still managed to make it to playing XI, blocking the way of young Shan Masood." Misbah said Hafeez was fit, though


This makes me cringe
 
Mate no disrespect but out of those names 3/5 are unavailable due to reasons other than injury/loss of form and PCB even if wanted cant pick them up, and if looked skeptically out of their own fault.


I am surprised you havent mentioned Imran,Wasim,Waqar,Sarfraz & Qadir as your first string.

Only bowlers you can avail of are Irfan & Gul. Irfan would be handy and very handy with his bounce and pace, Gul has been a bit offcolour in test of late.

The sad truth of the matter (and saying it as a cricket fan who used to look enviously at the bowlers from across the border that could wrap it up in a session) is that Pakistan has not got a tearaway bowler since Rawalpindi Express retired and your best wicket taking option is a spinner!

Ajmal is pure class but usually we have come to expect one genuine pace merchant in the Pakistani line up.

Yeah but I'm just saying that the talent is still there but due to whatever reasons, it is not accessible. Had Amir and Asif not done what they did, nobody would be saying that Pakistan's bowling standards have dropped.
 
Saeed ajmal doing well
3 wickets
49 runs

if Ajmal did well in 2nd Inning which is Likely

Man of the match on Card
 
This Rahat guy is just another Sami. But with a lot less pace.

If we win then yes. I'd not worry about MOTM awards just yet!
 
If Pakistan have scored 500, Zimbabwe would have crumbled in both innings under pressure, now they are sensing a lead.
 
Everyone attacking Rahat verbally, poor guy probably lost every single ounce of confidence.
 
Post 852 please. Dont make up your own facts

Talking about Afghanistan.


By your same logic, Bangladesh beat India in Asia Cup. And Ireland beat Bangladesh so Ireland is better than India?

Individual matches matter more and India was humiliated by Afghanistan while Pak beat them.
 
Zimbos needs to cool down, their is still plenty of time left in the game for Pakistan to make a comeback.
They must Bat out whole day
 
Crap ball from Rahat YET again aaannnd another four.

Fruit for thought that !

And India beat Pak in Asia cup- but the cup was lifted by Pak?

Which one matters more and records remember?

If Individual matches remember more, why do teams strive to win cups- they should just beat their arch rivals and go home after tht match rather than progressing further in the tourney?

Ridiculous statement of yours....
 
Current partnership 20 runs, 3.2 overs, RR: 6.00 (Chigumbura 6, Mutumbami 13)
 
Ehsan Adil is just another trundler. Even though Wahab is erratic, he has some pace to trouble the batsmen.

Asif,pollock,mcgrath....... Pace is not everything. If you have line and length then you can destroy oppositions. Like philander too.

:out by ajmal..

One final time:

Collapse on!!
 
Don't know how good Zimbabwe's tail is but Chigumbura might throw the bat now.

Ehsan adil is not Trundler
yes Trundler in Odi and T-20 cricket

But in Test matches he is Good Fast bowler

his FC Record is Just amazing

in president,s CUP Last year

Ehsan adil was best Pakistan Fast bowler
 
Rahat should go back to Domestic cricket
and Improve his Accuracy

i dont Think misbah will give him another chance now :(

Time for Ehsan adil Misbah will say
 
Zim kay Pakistani toondhon say Gujrawalan kay butt lagte hain. :farhat
 
no new ball is due in 6 overs..juni will come for new ball. abdul rehman and ajmal good right now. jani and hafeez with new ball.

But juni can use the reverse swing too but that plan is good too as long as runs are not leaked.
 
Just seen on Cricinfo

Saeed ajmal played 27 test,s and taken 140 around wickets :O

Pace is not everything but you do need one or two express bowlers in the team to unsettle the batsmen. And by express I mean consistently bowling at 88-90 MPH. I did not watch the game today but did Junaid bowl that fast today?
