4. White
5. M. Hussey
6. Smith

8. Johnson
9. Nannes

I reckon maybe Clarke and Paine to open?

 

[Furball]

Why on earth is James Hopes in the T20 squad? He's shocking.

 

[aussie tragic]

I reckon maybe Clarke and Paine to open?

So we'll be 2-50 off 10 overs......with Watson, Warner, White, Hussey and Smith taking us to 170 after the other 10

 

[aussie tragic]

ummm, it was announced that Bolinger replaces Harris in the T20 side, however cricinfo doesn't have him listed in the match squad?

What's with the Vuvu****ingzelas

 

[King Pietersen]

This should be a fantastic game of cricket. Really looking forward to seeing Shoaib Akhtar bowling, not seen him bowling for a long time. Love both these bowling attacks TBH, both stacked with pace and quality. I'd rate these as the 2 strongest T20 bowling attacks in the world.

 

[Faisal1985]

Anyone know who is showing the game in Canada?

 

[treamcast34]

Looking forward to seeing Shoaib and a bit more of Smith.

 

[Faisal1985]

Pakistan 1 Salman Butt, 2 Shahzaib Hasan, 3 Shoaib Malik, 4 Umar Akmal, 5 Shahid Afridi, 6 Kamran Akmal (wk), 7 Abdur Razzaq, 8 Umar Gul, 9 Shoaib Akhtar, 10 Saeed Ajmal, 11 Mohammad Aamer.

Good team for Pak.

 

[Faisal1985]

Anything under 200 is unacceptable this time around........

 

[aussie tragic]

Okay, so Clarke in for Bolinger is only difference to my preferred team

1. Watson
2. Warner
3. Clarke
4. D. Hussey
5. White
6. M. Hussey
7. Paine
8. Smith
9. Johnson
10. Nannes
11. Tait

Surely Smith at # 8 is a waste......or Paine only being able to bat at # 8 is a waste more like it...

 

[aussie tragic]

Nannes gets a wkt in first over...now for Tait

...oops, 2 wides in 3 balls...

 

[Jayzamann]

Surely Smith at # 8 is a waste......or Paine only being able to bat at # 8 is a waste more like it...

Clarke and Paine would make a formidable 10-11 rearguard.

Keen so see Johnson shake off the dust.

 

[pasag]

Wow, Pak's bowling attack is awesome. I think they'll be favourites with anything over 150, esp with 8 overs of spin.

 

[Scaly piscine]

What's with the Vuvu****ingzelas

It's ludicrous. They're dangerous and should be banned. Simple as.

 

[Faisal1985]

Wow, Pak's bowling attack is awesome. I think they'll be favourites with anything over 150, esp with 8 overs of spin.

Anything is possible. I would never call Pak a favorite even if they are playing an associate team.

But a decent start from Kamran. Want to see a fifty from him today...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Pakistan never a favourite whilst Butt's batting in a T20.

 

[Jayzamann]

But a decent start from Kamran. Want to see a fifty from him today...

Maybe tomorrow...

 

[Faisal1985]

Now that Butt's gone....
