agree with u.. i was supprised to see afridi up the order actualy.. in a way kamran akmal and butt they are giving pakistan a good start despite kamran's poor form with gloves ...then why they change the opening pair while chasing a leser target than thier last match..

Its because, the pitch condition is deterioting and 3rd ODI pitch is more bowler friendly than the 2 nd ODI. Pakistan wanted Afridi to give massive start something around 100 in 13 overs...

I would rather recall sami, whus been in a very good form in domestic cricket

oh noo lol out of form shabbir ahmad is much better than sami.. sami was leaking runs in fast and bouncy pitches in SA last year.. can u imagin him in india in spin wickets playing against guys like Sachin, yuvraj and Gambir..it would be a total dissaster... i checked the the match of karachi vs sialkot in which sami took 8 wickets in the second innings.. one thing i notice was that it was played in Karachi where the pitch help fast bowlers.. the number of bowld and lbw on that match proves that the ball kept low as usuall in karachi..

indian pitches won't be the same as karachi..

i think if not shabbir then pakistan should try someone new.. Samiullah Niazi has been in pretty decent form lately.. he has a wonderful first class average (19 in 38 matches) and like sohail tanveer he is left arm... maybe he would make an impect and supprise indian batsmans.

he has been pretty consistant with his performance by picking up two to three wickets in every innings in qaidi Azam trophy so far and his best performance has been this one just recently

If we want to go with a real youngster (younger than me in fact) though, I think we should look at Asad Ali. He has very good first class and one day averages and looks to be in superb form in domestic cricket at the moment.

This is clearly the best batting line up for India at the moment...the strength goes all the wayd won to Pathan...We definitely need to work on our bowling and fielding...Harbhajan-- Bring out the DOOSRA!!

The Quick start is just becoming more and more important and of course if Afridi gets going, he is magic to watch. You would have to think that T20 will continue to push the ODI starts up and up. Think about it, some sides are making 160/200 in T20. Thats the same time as the fielding restrictions start at (almost) in ODI, only thing going the other way is that the good bowlers can bowl more overs. I am looking forward to the next game.

Clearly not as good of a one day record though.

Although I agree that his inclusion to the side wouldn't be a bad idea. Would rather give him his debut in a Test as that is his better form.

i don't think it is gone happen but right now it would be a perfect time for him to be tried.. pakistan have shoaib and gul who they are going to depend on...so he won't be used as a main bowler which would add alot of pressure on someone who plays his first game..

As a Pakistan fan, I have to say that that opening combination looks absolutely delectable. :)

Yeah I reckon Sachin and Ganguly will have a pretty good series with the ball too.

And we all remember how Younis did when he got given the new ball in the last test series.

:p
