*Official* Match 6 - Kenya v Pakistan

[salman85]

That's 1 more than what Kenya will score today.

 

[Howe_zat]

Shoaib is playing, as is Rehman. Riaz and Ajmal sit out.

Pakistan have won the toss and will bat.

 

[Burgey]

Woo hop. A full session!





Maybe.

I like the Pakistan strip.

 

[salman85]

I hope they give Umar a chance up the order tonight.On no.3 perhaps.

 

[Prince EWS]

Definitely would've picked Wahab ahead of Rehman. As Uppercut said in another thread, having genuine pace makes your bowling lineup associate-proof; they just have such little experience against it. This theory works double for Kenya.

Oh what basis is Rehman actually ahead of Ajmal anyway? Rehman's a decent bowler and I like him but Ajmal's world class in ODIs and I say that despite really not liking him much at all.

Nah, Pakistan's batting lineup is very formulaic; Umar needs to be at six.

yeah fans of Pakpassion website were asked to design the wc kit, done a good job from what I see.

Rehman adds more with the bat and in the field though with 8 batsman I doubt you need someone @ 9 for the batting prowess.

I'd have Ajmal over him too,but Rehman did really well in New Zealand.Plus he can bat too.I' m guessing that's the reasoning behind him getting the nod.

Is Ongondo injured or has he just declined to such a point where he doesn't make this team?

He's not injured. Was only out of the team cos Baptiste wanted him to work on his fitness. He did that and got back in the squad, but doesn't look like he's part of the playing xi plans by the looks of it. A mistake if you ask me.

Yeah, I agree. Hard to tell without seeing what he's actually sending down at the moment I guess but he's too good a bowler for Kenya to leave out if he's near his best IMO.

Fantastic!

I hope he held it.

Just his experience alone would be an asset. Bringing Tanmay Mishra in was a good move today. He has played his last 3 years of cricket in India so is used to the conditions.

 

[_Ed_]

He held that IMO. Give it out.

 

[Xuhaib]

St Patrick's day?

 

[Xuhaib]

lol this is vintage Pakistan and wth is Djibril Cisse playing cricket?

Dropping Obanda seems pretty harsh to me though. Looked more technically competent than most of the batsmen; odd scapegoat.

12-2!
