[satishmania]

this one's gotta be pretty easy...just selecting eleven Pakistani players

 

[Abhas]

Afridi Captain

 

[satishmania]

anyway i doubt if Shoaib Malik will play. I think he's still recovering

 

[Dare]

gona be hard to pick Pakistani players, dont know who they will play.

 

[ZexyZahid]

this one's gotta be pretty easy...just selecting eleven Pakistani players

Well, I won't. Other reason is that I don't even know who will play.

 

[satishmania]

well except for Taibu i have selected all Pakistanis

 

[icyman]

Who is the first choice keeper for Pakistan ?
Sarfraz or Kamran ?

Rest the last three games-Pak might have a new squad too.

Zexy,any tips on the bowlers of Pakistan ?

 

[ZexyZahid]

I assume Kamran Akmal will be wicketkeeper. And I don't know even myself, which bowlers will play.

 

[SciD]

This is going to be toughest selection i have ever done. Maybe we should be allowed to bring in substitutes this time as nobody knows whos playing.

 

[icyman]

No,we will have 2 separate games for this series.
Game 1- 2 ODI's
Game 2- Remaining 3 ODI's.
Then the overall winner will be given the Vcash.




Its not true and do not follow it blindly

 

[ZexyZahid]

This is going to be toughest selection i have ever done. Maybe we should be allowed to bring in substitutes this time as nobody knows whos playing.

That's one part of Fantasy Cricket, because you can't figure out for sure, which players will play. And if they play in the first ODI, they couldn't be playing in the next ODI's.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

team for 1st ODI:

pakistan
1.Salman Butt
2.Kamran Akmal
3.Younis Khan
4.Mohammad Yousuf
5.Shoaib Malik (captain)
6.Misbah-ul-Haq
7.Shahid Afridi
8.Sohail Tanvir
9.Yasir Arafat
10.Iftikhar Anjum
11.Samiullah Khan / Fawad Alam

out of this 7 players are conform who gonna play all ODI(except in case of injury)

i marked y arfat because he did well in tests against india and he has taken
528 1st class wicket in 126 matches with average of 22.39.

so its not that much of difficult??
(sorry for my over smartness)
lol...

 

[ZexyZahid]

I wouldn't be that sure that Arafat will play. Pakistan could include a specialist opener in Kamran Hussain or Nasir Jamshed. Or simply include a different allrounder then Arafat.

 

[ZexyZahid]

I put Chigumbura instead of Jamshed. Hopefully he will score more.
