^ agreed and without pak.. these matches are stale and boring for me.. i sort of enjoyed the first test between bang and wi.. it was closly contested one..

south africa vs aus.. major disappointment.. one sided matches.. both test matches..

and to think that when Pak does play test cricket in January..PCB tried to postpone that.

Don't worry Fu we are soon going to get 2 exciting series (unless India prepare roads or we collapse against Steyn et al).

Collapsing against Steyn is an absolute certainty..how many times is the question..

As for India...the combined might of Kohli, Yuvraj, Ashwin and Raina would be enough..

yeah atleast in England you could still look forward to seeing Asif and Aamer bowl after being tormented time and again with the bat over here we have Gul and Sami who will end up delivering crap time and again.

Could Umar Amin come again? Hit 281 the other day, and he's only just 23 ... played four Tests in 2010 on seaming wickets, and wasn't the only one to struggle.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Umar Amin looked like a technically solid player, but never delivered.

 

[unam]

Any updates on Fawad Alam? anyone in PCB or close enough to tell why he is not been selected??

 

[smash84]

Fawad Alam will be another mystery like many other talented players....

 

[Xuhaib]

Fawad has lost form at the wrong time. Umer Amin has done nothing for past 2 seasons one knock on a flat track should not be your ticket to selection. I think Haris Sohail and Nasir Jamshed will be the reserve batsman for the South African tour

Imran turned 60 last week and Saad Shafqat has written a tribute to the man.

Except for fielding, the rest of the article is pretty much spot on

I think Pakistan should do a barter exchange between Hafeez and Ashwin.

Hafeez is a better spinner than Ashwin and Ashwin is a better batsman than Hafeez.

India needs bowlers, Pakistan needs batsmen.

The Professor or Feeza to his friends is one of the most undeserving players ever to play Test cricket. He used to be a joke when he first started off and now has become the vice-captain.

old news but haven't seen anywhere in the forum yet:

Afridi is dropped from ODI squad for India Tour.

Not sure why Younis Khan and esp Wahab Riaz is back

yeah....old news....and given Afridi's form probably nothing to comment about

Afridi: "Damn, they finally realised I'm not 16 any more".
