its a tough one,most likely kamran and butt but they might just gamble with younis or malik ,im sure they understand by now that afridi is best down the order ,what do u think
I have always felt Afridi should not open but you guys didnt agree :)

Actually, after seeing him at the start of the last game I would say, he CAN open but its impossible for his eyes not to light up with 10000 watts when he sees what looks like a half volley. If he stopped hitting across the line and lifted after thinking about it a bit, he really may not be bad as an opener. But I dont think thats going to happen.

And I would not use temporary options like Akmal. So Pakistan needs to talk to Younis and Malik and see which of them is willing to take it up as a long term responsibility along with Salman. I personally would go with Younis.

He played for only one season of first class cricket. Started with a fine bowling effort on fc debut in Ranji trophy. In his second match, he did twice as well and achieved a bowling feat that had been done only once before and never since. At the end of the season, he was involved in a parachuting accident which made him a paraplegic and ended his career.

Who is this not very famous cricketer ?

Good answer.

Hattrick on debut; Two hattricks in the same innings in his second fc match, something done only by Albert Trott.

A quick round.

Who has the highest Test Batting Average (the player must have been out). The second part to the question is, in the first player's debut test innings what was the name of the person who held the catch that dismissed him. And thirdly, where did the second player make his debut, to be more specific, which city?

All 3 answers are required.

Correct, only 2 wicketkeepers to score a hundred on debut, your turn.

Nice one Jason, I suppose the question having to do with Sri Lankans was easy enough for you to answer though!
