Which would mean current capacity is about 16000.

Are you telling me it's possible for Pak to beat Australia? :blink:
Christmas in July.. The season of miracles:p

Love Umar Gul as a bowler. Was under done out here iirc in the tests, but I reckon he's quality. And as a T20 bowler there's none better.

Edit: out of interest, how did Johnson bowl?

Thought he was alright - he was unfortunate coming up against Umar in the mood he was in, Umar hit a couple of incredible 4s off balls that didn't deserve to be dispatched to the ropes.

Looked a wee bit rusty but once he finds a bit of rhythm should be fine.

Now I'm not laying the blame for the loss on Clarke, but DO SOMETHING FOR GODS SAKE!***!*!**!*!!*!*

Complete waste of space in this format.

decent win hope they show some gut and grow as a team over the summer, still not expecting much in test matches maybe with Yusuf and Younis were in with half a chance. Umer is still too green to carry an entire test middle order against quality line ups away from home.The limited overs side is developing nicely just need to do away Akhtar and Razzaq and get some young guys in.

still don't understand the Nannes love by the Aussies sure he is quick but do they really need his extra [ace with Tait and Mitch there Bolly should be the preferred option.

Bloke moves it both ways at over 90mph. I'm no Troy Cooley, but reckon that's a good starting point for a seamer.

Wasn't at his best, but quality bowler.

Nannes is a fair superior option than both Johnson and Bollinger. Almost the first name that should be selected for an Australian T20 team.

It is not so much his pace that causes trouble; he bowls from a really awkward angle that makes hitting out very difficult.

like the look how Pakistan limited overs side is shaping up. In Amer and Gul you have two quality seamers backed up by two quality spinners Afridi and Ajmal. Umer is the fulcrum around which the middle order revolves around Afrid and Kamran play the role of dangerous floaters.I also feel Butt and Shazaib as an opening duo has some legs Butt provides the steady role while Shazaib biffs it around ofcourse it all depends on weather Shazaib can hack it at top leval.

Fawad should be brought in as he and Malik can be the perfect foil to Umer Akmal and Afrid in the middle order and also needs to get in a young all rounder some like Hammad Azam can do the job to replace Razzaq who along with Shoaib is on life support.I reckon this has the making of a good limited overs side for the next 4-5 years.
