*Official* Australia vs Pakistan in England

[Faisal1985]

Its all nice being positive and all but realistically anything other then a comprehensive Aus win will be a shock, Pakistan may compete a few sessions here and there but difference in class is usually seen through in a test match unlike a T-20

Pak can more then compete with that bowling attack IMO. And i am expecting some good results provided the change of captain and provided that the players are not divided as one can see from the T20s.

Malik looked in good touch along with Umar in the middle. Asif, Gul, Aamir, Kaneria could do serious damage. Keep Afridi as a wild card......

This is totally ON my friend.

 

[Faisal1985]

Yeah, pak needing to create 40 chances for 20 wickets doesn't help matters much.

We lost a good fielder in Younis but still got Malik and Afridi.

Are the Aussies bowling hand grenades against derbyshire....2-5 off the last 10 overs

Was about to ask... 1.7rpo for MJ?

Only really hear that Pakistan is the best Twenty20 side in the world from Pakistani fans. They are pretty good, but to give them the title of unequivocally best side is nonsense, they're not. I mean you call Aus a "fluke" Twenty20 side (what does that even mean?), could say the same thing about Pak really. I mean, we just won three in a row against them, then they win a couple and all of a sudden we're the fluke side.

Not saying that they are bad, just don't think they are inherently better or worse than say India, SA, SL, Aus, England, NZ or even the WI. Best bowling attack though.

India surely do not belong in a discussion of the best T20 team in the world... They are the English football equivalent in T20s.. Richest and most popular domestic league and yet **** at the international level with such obvious weaknesses and tired players...

Nah, India's main issue is the lack of quality international bowling.

What will a full strength Pak line up be llike?


I would think they may want Shoaib Malik at the top..


Butt
Malik
Younis Khan
Umar Akmal
Afridi
Misbah or whoever
Kamran
Aamer
Asif
Gul
Ajmal



Not a bad side at all..


and with very few changes could play in ODIs and T20s as well.. Replace YOunis with Razzaq and you got your side...

And open with Kamran with Malik at 3...


Time for stability with batting orders and batting positions, me thinks..


Would be an awesome side if they play the right XI for cricketing than political reasons and are united, which, to be fair, seems to be happening a bit under Afridi.

I guess you are not talking about the team that is playing for this series.

Younis is not available.

Butt
new guy like Ghumman or Shezad if they fail go back to Farhat
Younis *
Mo Yo
Umer Akmal
New kid Amin or Shafique
Any keeper who can catch
Amir
Asif
Gul
Ajmal, Kaneria or Raza Hassan.

Highly doubt Akhtar to be part of the test squad for this series.....Misbah was not selected.

I am talking about test squad against Aus

Why no Alam?

 

[Xuhaib]

Why no Alam?

yeah he can fight for the 6th spot with Amin or other performing domestic cricketers.

 

[Faisal1985]

Nice fifty from Hameed....Big fan of this guy...hope he gets a chance.

 

[Major Glory]

Why no Alam?

He is not test match material

 

[Nate]

I wish Hilfy didn't waste so many of his deliveries.

So, as I thought, the economies were good because of wide, no-need-to-play-at-this bowling?

 

[akilana]

heck start the tests tomorrow
