By dire you mean ahmed shahzad or shan masood?Gotta hate it when you look at the Pakistan lineup and it has a dire opener opening, followed by a domestic opener at 3 and then a couple of decent middle order prospects not in the side at all.
Open the batting ffs Azhar.
Masood. I can live with Shehzad but you can't tell me that batting lineup wouldn't look better with Azhar opening instead of Masood and Haris playing.By dire you mean ahmed shahzad or shan masood?

Lakmal is good, handy bowler at home, it's a shame Eranga isn't available however. I think the combination is correct although with Matthews 2 spinners can always be gotten away with. Good start, dimuth has plenty to prove given he'll be looking to become a staple of the test side, has certainly made an effort to knuckle down and bat for a long time, Thirimanne probably playing for his spot in the side.as much as i like herath dropping him and going for three pacers is fine by me
dropping him and going for three pacers when one of them is fricking lakmal is not
