I am fully agree with this comments but I want to add little. I don't understanding why they have taken Fawad Alam in squad. Fawad is good alrounder and he was best choice instead of Butt. Shoaib must have tried Fawad while Shoaid was not able to bowel as off spinner. Muhammad Hafeez was the second choice as opener and off spinner. I hope the next match on 18th, Shaoib should give chance to them.

Akaml should be given rest in the next match and Chance may be given to Sarfraf. In my view the result would be better than before.

Pak shud ve spare players if one doesn't perform well in few matches replace him n let other ve chance. Why we still like Afridi Why? When was the last time he scored 100 or 50? Hez just a show off. Why didn't they call Abdul Razzaq.

I want to ask selectors one question what basis you ve chosen this wicket keeper on and these opening pair and are they the best out of millions players in the whole country?

I agree Fawad and Hafeez look like better ODI spin options to support Afridi rather than Malik and Rehman

The batting looks solid, However I would prefer I Nazir over Hafeez and Nazit should partner Butt as he is great fielder and a good attacking foil to a steady stroke player like Butt

They take a risk as Nazir is breathtaking strokeplayer like Sehwag

Last ODI

Nazir
Butt
Younis
Yousef
Misbah
Malik
Afridi
Fawad Alam
Akmal
Akhtar
Gul

Shoaib has been an average captain. He does have a cool head but so did inzamam but cool heads on an individual's shoulder doesnt bring team success. We need someone like Afridi to be made the 1 day captain. Making him the captain will do 2 things. 1. It will make him play with responsibility & 2. He will breathe positive agressiveness into the team, The hunger to win, the aim to defeat the opposition & he does have a love affair with the pak nation. Let Captain Boom Boom take over the ship & i am sure he will bring pak team the success they have long hoped for.

Excellent display by Indian Team. Hats off to Tendulkar all time genious. Every pakistani bowler looked terrified when he was playing. Nobody was finding any answer on how to bowl to little master blaster. Tendulkar is a true cricketer. 2007 has apparently proved good for Indian team after their early drop out from the world cup. I am very happy and impressed with performance of Indian team. Keep on playing you will win world cup one day. Every single news paper has appraisedc little mmaster blaster`s performance from yesterday`s game. What a display real treat to watch it.

Pak has not played bad cricket however team was under poor captaincy. It would have been different story if Pak had Asif included. I would appreciate the performance of Indian team they played exceptionally well, 255 was very defendable total but once again Malik was unable to use his best bowlers and India utilised its batting strength.

I have got few questions to ask

Why did Sohail Tanvir bowled only 7 over and Umar Gul only 8?

We all know Sohil Tanvir got batted however he was still the best choice among Afridi and Salman Butt.

Why did Afridi bowl all 10 over despite getting betted @ 6.70 with no wicket?


3 over from Tanvir and 2 over from Gul could have made some difference.
