Pakistani squad for ICC Champions trophy

[iHammad]

Inshallah all our players will give their best on the field and make us proud!

You still believe that after a 3-0 white wash from SL????

3-0 what, we only played one ODI

 

[iHammad]

Pakistan has the best bowling attack, no doubt about it!

 

[Xuhaib]

We will have to see how effective Asif would be after his come back. A bit early to make a judgment atm, imo .... But yeah on paper, the attack looks good

Drugs issue, a career threatening elbow injury and lack of any competitive cricket for 2 years could essentially mean a bridge too far for Asif and add to all that he is a bit empty in the upper drawer. It would be a massive miracle if he could mantain the same level of effectivness as he showed earlier on.

Haha, pretty much spot on. Will still be watching him closely.

It wasn't our bowling that failed.

NZ > Pakistan

Bond is the best seamer from either team
Mills is their equal in ODI cricket
Vettori is probably the best one day bowler in the world right now
Tuffey (= best attack easy) Butler (= well there could be a bit of a chink in the armor)
Oram is one of the best 5th bowling options in the world

oh c'mon, Pakistan has a better bowling attack

My gut feeling Asif will find form right away.................there is no reason why they would pick Rana and not Asif....there is no reason why they would still opt for Misbah in the middle.....

My XI

Nazir
Akmal
Younis
Mo Yo
Malik
Umer
Afridi
Rana (i would have loved to see Razzaq here btw)
Ajmal
Aamir/Asif (Depending on how Aamir performs, he still young so over reliance on him could cost em).
Gul


Had they brought Razzaq, this would have been a very balanced side....

i hope so but that doesn't look like happening, & what i think Pakistan will not play Asif, that's what my gut feelings say

.........and then you will admit that indeed it was "totally" unpredictable right? lol

They're gonna need all the luck they can possibly gather

Pakistan will be the 2nd team I support behind NZ, considering the rabble England has had to hastily put together and the West Indies' stubbornness
