Asim Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Jamshed and Irfan yet to make their Test debut... After 8 years an Akmal-free team is selected... Link to comment
Iconoclast Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 A great day for Pak cricket that we can finally rid ourselves of these treacherous Akmal's. Link to comment
saneindian Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 just 4 pacers? Gul, Junaid, Irfam and Adil? Not sure if Irfan can last a test match right now Also will Pak go with their 2 spinners or leave out Rehman? And the likely batting line up would be - Toffee, Hafeez, Azhar, YK, Misbah, Shafiq, Sarfaraz Would be surprised by anything other than 3-0 for SA if all their first choice pacers are fit.

NareshK Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Faisal Iqbal - Isnt this guy a relative of some ex cricketer ? He has poor FC stats. How did he make it back into the squad ? :hmmm: Link to comment

They will be crazy to leave out Jamshed. He looks like the only half decent batsman in their lineup. Irfan wouldnt last a couple of days in the field. I dont think he is fit enough for test cricket.

rkt.india Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Dont think Irfan is good enough to play test cricket, bad selection he is for tests. He does not look fit enough to bowl 20 overs a day. Link to comment
Clarke Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 You've got to have someone better than Kumar Gul after all these years. If he & Irfan are both playing the test matches, SL will be welcoming you: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=292373 Link to comment
Cevno Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Faisal Iqbal again ? :giggle: Don't know if Irfan is fit enough, and Adnan has done better than Sarfaraz so far despite the Akmal hate.. Rest of the squad seems decent. Link to comment
Idone1232 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Adnan should have been there ahead of Sarfraz and Umar ahead of Faisal Iqbal who averages 26 in 26 matches he played..pathetic!! We'll badly miss yoself!! Link to comment

Ajmal himself can bowl out a side .. add Junaid to that and we are well set in the bowling department as always ... its the batting which is always a question mark :nervous: Link to comment
panther Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 ajmal-junaid-ehsan-gul should be the bowling line up. Link to comment
Idone1232 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Nepotism vs Match Fixing The former is the lesser evil I guess. you have no proofs have you?I bet my house you don't. Link to comment
the don Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Cant help but think that they missed a trick there by not picking rahat ali , swing at 140-145 ks , certainly much more impressive than umar gul , iqbal wont get a game , haris is ahead of that fecker in the pecking order , misbah hates him as it is . Pakistan would be competitive as long as they avoid sub 50 scores Link to comment
KeyboardWarrior Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 looks like my umar akmal jinx thread works for pakistani team :antijinx: Link to comment

Asim Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Cheema was decent and still doing very well in FC (QeAT), He deserves place in Test squad probably ahead of Gul... Link to comment
Asim Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Last time I watched Faisal Iqbal was 1 or 2 years back playing hockey... Link to comment
