Pakistan is going to play a match against New Zealand Cricket XI. Check out that squad. It's almost the real team of New Zealand.

[ZexyZahid]

I've already got a problem: Franklin isn't playing.

----------

I see Umar Akmal isn't playing and some people have him in their teams.

 

[Chewie]

I haven't been able to change my team so I think I've got both Ajmal and Akmal ><

 

[ZexyZahid]

That means you're playing with 9 players. And so do I: I see Franklin and Sohail Tanvir aren't playing. I actually had Tanvir Ahmed in my team, till I read the cricinfo preview.

Also Tanvir Ahmed got 4 wickets already in his first innings.

My captain is Vettori and he grabbed a duck and no wickets so far.

 

[AkshayS]

I picked Shafiq but dropped him for Azhar Ali because I was uncertain whether Shafiq will play or not.

 

[ZexyZahid]

My team is full of New Zealand batsmen. I didn't expect New Zealand to play that badly.

Congratulations to the top 3.

I didn't expect to come in the top 3, especially since I was playing with 9 players. Now I've found out that Franklin (in my team) and Tuffey weren't in the contention of playing the Test match, because they were released to play for their teams.
