***Official*** Pakistan in South Africa

IndianByHeart

U19 Vice-Captain
Pakistan could have lost the match cause of selection blunder had their Batsmen not piled up such a big total.Going into the match with just two specialist bowler, one of which being woefully out of form seem plain stupid to me.I think Pakistan should make up the mind and go with either Mahmood or Razak.

I would go with foll team in second match

Nazir
malik
Younis
Yousuf
Inzi
Afridi
Azhar
Akmal
Rehman
Anjum
Asif

Afridi seems to have secured his place in WC squad by bowling so well in both matches.Nazir played well but i don't think that he will maintain his place in Pak team for long.I would ratehr go with Butt for 007 WC.

lolz...just read somewhere that Younis has patted Pollock a*se atleast 4 times thoughout this series, whats going on guys:wacko:

Shame Afridi might be banned for a few games just when he was starting to get into some sort of form.

Who you reckon are the other candidates for Captaincy?? Sami,Akmal or Farhat?
Now this is sarcasm ! And it's just an attemp to make a debatable issue a bit lengthier. And it's like PCB which uses elastic instead of a belt to tie up the knot at their ill plannings .One stroke of wind and the policy is at the mercy of visual experts and journalists !!!!

During the recently played Domestic 20/20 his field placement, bowling changes and player management were outstanding.

Easily the best captain on show and that included the likes of Younis, Yousuf and Malik
That is an excellent judgment . I had this in my mind . Simply the best captain of the tournament and he planned the things very well .

You don't have to be a captain or vice captain to be a leader. Look at Kumble as an example.
Afridi should not even be anywhere close to a leadership role, let alone captain or vice-captain. I understand your post, but I'm not even just talking about him not having the tag as captain or VC.
I perfectly understand your point but why not you take an example of SA and/or Australia . I haven't read one valid argument against the issue that "Afridi should be a VC " ,so I'll stick with my inital statement that "Younas may well be a nightmare as a captain and Thats it" !!!

Being a well wisher of Pakistan team, i want the three big , Naveed,Sami and kaneria to rest and hence be fit for the all important WC clash against India.
u want sami, rana, and kuneria to play so that indian can make 400 runs against pakistan lol. sami and rana is out of form, kuneria isn't a odi bowler. by playing with these bowlers pakistan is going to give away thier chance of wining world cup.

i think they should sent rana and sami home and in future matches give anjum and abdur rahaman chance.

Be nice if Inzy did at least allow Rana his full ten because God knows how bad is figures would have been on Sunday and Wednesday. Mick Lewis would have been beaten by some distance on Sunday and he was well set for a repeat on Wednesday night. Though in saying that I would probably still take him over Sami.

Andre Nel is out of today's game after a freak accident (dropped a bottle on his foot). Robbie P is likely to be his replacement.
