will they select somebody else for Test ..or is this the same side for the whole tour ????
Asif will be back provided he is back to full fitness and there is a thought of sending Sarfraz Ahmed as a back up to that ugly big teeth guy who calls himself a wicket keeper.

Whats amazing is that he seems oblivious to how badly he is keeping. Have you no shame Akmal?

Agree with the suggestion of Younis keeping. Providing he's willing, of course. I've only seen him keep a few times but he looked competant enough; better than what Akmal has shown in the last eighteen months.
AWTA. Although for a second there I really thought he had turned the corner as far as his ODI batting after the tour in South Africa.

For a better team balance I would like to see Fawad Alam in Reman's place, both Malik and Alam can bowl 10 between them.

Check his List A and First class record the lad averages pretty high in both forms.
I have seen them before, but from what I have seen he's not really fit for international cricket IMO. Though I can see the benefit of trying him out, just not at the expense of Abur-Rehman (spot the fan).

Fawad Alam is a very decent bat, yes he has the habbit of shuffling across the stups when facing swing bowling other then that he looks very capable he runs hasd between the stumps and seems to have a good decent cricketing brain.

I would prefer to see Tanvir ahead of Ifthikar Anjum because not only does Tanvir provide variation being a left-armer but he is also an unorthodox bowler so that could work in favour of Pakistan.

Nah stick with Rao for me Tanvir is just a tail ender who can slog a few on the leg side.

Nah, not good enough of a bowler or a batsman to justify coming in for one our current bowlers.

Is Asif gonna be joining the Pakistani squad after the 3rd Odi or has he been ruled out of the complete series??

also it won't be fair to replace him after one bad performance.. rao has been pretty impersive in his last number of ODIs that he has played for pakistan.

Agreed, can't leave out your best seamer for some two bit slogger with a cheap party trick action. :ph34r:
