When did we lose to Zimbabwe. I cant recall that result ever occurring.

You are getting a bit ahead of yourself wanting to see the squad named when we are the home team? However be prepared to be very disappointed.

I really hope we produce some low bounce spinning tracks because anything else and we will lose.

Agree. A lot will depend on Ajmal and Rehman. Need to put up a some sort of fight and at least make it competitive.

Probably a SA win.

But Pakistan are the kind of team to lose to Zimbabwe, then beat SA.

Then lose to Holland.

Its so true Neon but maybe not Holland, more like Ireland.

A14 when is Amir finishing his 60 day Jamaat with the Wahabis

depends on the wickets prepared. Id make them very dry for Pakistani spinners..Pakistans problem is the batting. Need the scores closer and producing turners will help to an extent..Batting first and getting a reasonable score will help to. I always feel with Pakistan being under pressure is not their forte. But the bowling can really fire sometimes..
SA are favourites of course, but England were last night and we were destroyed.

India for the last 3-4 months have been playing none stop A tours, U23 and U19 games while Pakistan just sit back and expect talent to flourish out of thin air. Plenty of there fringe test players and current test players are getting games and this is why they are years ahead of us.

More poor management from PCB.

It's not a bad patch, it's not form too," Hafeez said in Lahore. "It happens in cricket, you try your best but sometimes you can't perform in a particular format. It's not a matter of technique even, the ball is coming on to my bat but I am not able to play a big innings. It happens with any big cricketer."
____________________________________

The above are quotes from hafeez yesterday... wow - he considers himself as a "big cricketer" . seriously, deluded or what. Needs to be given the boot in all formats until he strips away his arrogance.

I think he has been told that he has finally been dropped from test cricket so is trying to defend his poor form

The only thing big about him was his ego.

gul needs game time to get match fit

wtf has Taufeeq done to get dropped.

================================
Ajmal ripping into Fatmore

He's spot on though, if that's what he meant. Thing with ajjy is that he says one thing and means another and is often misquoted.

Any idea where it's being shown kash? For definate?

The interview was with Geo so most likely in urdu. Not sure he can use the lost in translation excuse.

No idea who are showing the games.

Khurram Manzoor, Azhar Ali, Younis Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), Umar Amin, Adnan Akmal (wk), Saeed Ajmal, Zulfiqar Babar, Abdur Rehman, Junaid Khan, Mohammad Irfan, Rahat Ali
Out: Mohammad Hafeez, Wahab Riaz
In: Mohammad Irfan, Zulfiqar Babar
=========================
Hafeez AXED!!!

Shafiq?

RSA score 354 at 3.69 runs per over

Pak A currently going at 2 runs an over after 20 overs

Kash,

Happy with that. Ended up on 188 with 2 wickets only being taken. Perhaps we should swap the proper team with pak A- least these guys have a chance to get to 300 .

Nice to see Faisal Iqbal fail again. Long may it continue

This Shan Masood is clearly an inside PCB job. He has a first class average of 34

He made a career best 199 in Feb but since then his scores have been 25, 29, 5, 8, 8, 4, 6, 0 and today he got a 50 like every one else.

Happy that Shafiq has got something decent. Can't believe his place in the team is questioned.

We need a 5th bowler to replace Hafeez....

What's going to be our team? Azhar Ali to open and put somebody like Maqsood in as an extra bowler option too?

Agree with you about shafiq robin, I'd still play him. Pakistan must be the only team in history that have named a 12 man squad. What on earth are they waiting for. Will be a traversity if umar Akmal doesn't make it.

umar akmal? didn't see him anywhere near the warm up squad. what makes you think he will make it?

Did he not play pakistan vs pakistan A last week? Thought he did?

Shafiq, Masood and Shehzad added to squad now. How the fek is Sjehzad a test player with his suspect technique? Someone that averages 26 in one day cricket

They've just gone on
Basis of 1 warm up game. Ridiculous.
