Cornered tigers are back?


Recommended Posts

Not really convinced on Sohail Khan maybe Ehsan Adil can be included. However Pace attack looks good' date=' Rahat with height and swing in both ways, Wahab with pace, Irfan with good bounce and from what i have seen Sohail is a fine bowler with new ball and has a good outswinger. Lala needs to keep it tight though[/quote'] Sohail should get another Chance,I think both sohail and adil are avg bowlers but if one has to be picked,then it should be sohail,he has bowled with heart.lala is a must,he can get abdv's wkt

Sohail yes bowled with heart but If conditions are seaming Ehsan Adil should play. However Sohail seems like bowler with momentum and bowls actually well pumped up.

I have told many times already that never write Paks off,they start off slowly and once they are in the grove,they are dangerous.Remember its their batting the only problem,they got the bowlers to defend a score like 240.So always be cautious ,one or two good batting days,they are in Semis.

i think ur match against saf is in adelaide.it'll be flat,better if pak bats 1st and rake up a good score,also think yasir might be a good option but i'll still stick to the 4 pace attack because they are bowling well as a unit and misbah knows when to bowl which bowler. if yasir has an off day,then abdv,miller can smack him everywhere,rahat and sohail look the safer option

Also i think 4 pacers involve that variety, A right armer with out swing, Left armer with pace and good yorker, Rahat is very fine bowler and Irfan is decent. It wont be that easy for South Africa either. However lack of good spinner is a problem. Lala can go for runs so he needs to keep it tight. Plus I think Afridi should open, So that whatever he scores by slogs at end he could score up front and attack all out to reduce pressure at start and since piches are flat and phattas Afridi should look.to use the conditions and give a good start. Too bad we dont have FTBs like Rohit

A team India with its "weak" bowling lineup wrapped up at 102 were allowed to score 220 by "power-house" Pak bowling translates to Pak is back ?

Beating Zim and UAE doesn't really mean that they are back. Still lot of work for them to be done. A big defeat to South Africa would again show that they are still not there yet. In any case, a defeat to South Africa by over 100 runs or 7 wickets or more would put huge pressure on them again going into Ireland game.

People act ignorant on this forum or they really are? Pak loses 2 games against test playing nation and people start predicting their pre QF exit and now after defeating 2 minnows ,cornered tigers are back.I mean for FFS.

2 more games for Pak. If Ireland loses to Zim they are out, they play India and Pak next and have to win both to qualify. Pak has more chances to go to QF if Ireland loses to Zim. A very likely happening.

And my serious question to him is if Sarfraz havent got technique to survive, What about nasir's technique and feet not moving. Also Younis Khan who in 15 years isnt even a mediocre odi batsman.

Ireland vs pak can be a knockout game Pak should drop Jamshed and get sarfraz and open with Harris.... The team looks better that way.... Also play yasir Shah over a pacer

I hope Pakistan someone qualify somehow and meet India in SF or Final.....That would be so awesome
Guaranteed win for India...so I agree. :icflove:

I sympathise with Pakistan's cricket but this is a rubbish side. No batting at all - and bowling is average. If Junaid Khan returns from injury and Amir has some bite left they could field a decent attack in a short while, but the squad in Aus is crap.
