I can't help but love the enigma that is Shahid Afridi...

He's batted really well today; he's picked the right bowlers to target and the right balls to hit. Very intelligent batting, and it's exactly what is needed.

Yeah but he got out after doing a very good job.

I think Pakistan would struggle to defend the total coz they have a very poor and inexperianced bowling lineup. Pakistan should really rethink about their batting lineup, going in with just three specialist batsmen in Inzi,Youhanna and Butt makes little sense. Akmal should bat down the order and either Hameed or Umar should open for Pakistan.

Australia are 17 for 0 after just three overs. I think they are in a mood to murder Pakistan, Ifti Anjum is being punished badly.

Choora: If Inzamam retires within the next year, then Youhana should step in with Younis Khan as a vice-captain.

by the way, you still think Inzy should be thrown out of the team and Khan be brought in?

Nothing against Youhanna, but the way he captained Pakistan so far makes his chances of becomming the captain very slim.

Yes i am of the opinion that Inzi should be dropped from the OD lineup.One doesn't have to do it right away, but keeping the '07 WC in mind Pakistan will have to get rid of Inzi and have him replaced by a younger batsman in six months time.

personally i really wonder how long it will be before they give asim kamal a shot in ODIs. IMO he might just be captaincy material too. the problem for pakistan is that they dont really have a consistent player other than inzy in both forms of the game to be able to pick a captain.

Hayden is on 3 while Clarke is on 31 LOL.


Anjum seems to be a mediocre bowler, this Pak bowling linup is even weaker than that of WI. I don't think they can bowl out a side with such a weak attack.


Australia are 34 for zero after 7 overs and its time for dinner.I guess Razzak will consume a lot of spinach while Inzi will probably stick to potato

isnt it amazing how kasparowicz continues to perform while lee continues to bowl rubbish? mr world class.
I know your agenda but how about saving it for when its deserved. Kasper didnt perform any better than lee today. And he didnt have to face afridi teeing off.

Well there are certain players that are automatic selection in both format of games in Butt, Youhanna & Akhtar. Of them all only Youhanna can be considered for captaincy as Butt has just started his career and Akhtar is injury prone.

However if Inzi and Youhanna doesn't do justice with the job then a decent player who possess leadership quality should be accomodated in both format of the game and be named captain. This has be done in past and isn't something new.

On Asim, i think the guy is a good compact batsman and there is no harm in trying him in OD matches. Guys like Danish and Asim should be given a chance to prove themseleves in the shorter format of the game too.
