    Pakistan has announced it's team for the old cup dropping Muhammad yousuf & Tanveer Ahmed. Also ijaaz butt as usual thinking with his butt has refused to name the captain of Pakistani team as he is not happy with Afridi.
    What are your views in terms of who should open the batting and your 11 players who should be in the main eleven for Pakistan?

    Squad: Shahid Afridi, Misbah-ul-Haq, Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal, Younis Khan, Asad Shafiq, Umar Akmal, Abdul Razzaq, Abdur Rehman, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Akhtar, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz, Sohail Tanveer, Ahmed Shahzad.

    I will have the same team and would replace shoaib with wahab on slow flat wickets.

    Only, only if they clear Mohd Amir, I would like to include him in 15 man squad. Other then that looks good.

    Amir is out and so is Asif... I wish they let Amir go and I wouldnt mind Asif having a life time ban like Saleem Malik...

    If Pakistan wins today they may announce Misbah as captain. I 'd rather stick with Afridi. My bigger concern is how many matches 'd be day and night. I am in eastern time zone, and D/N games are the only games I can watch w/o sacrificing sleep too much.

    Afridi should be captain. Misbah hasnt captained us in any ODIs so he is too experienced to lead us in the WC. I wouldnt include Amer or Asif. Its better to have 11 average honest players than 8 average and 3 good but sell-out players.

    @ expakistani,

    I agree, the super8 format is more exciting than the knockout quarterfinals format.

    Asif
    PCB said that he failed to show his fitness.Abdul Qadir said its right decision and the termed the squad as "Balanced one" while Rashid Latif termed it as gamble PCB played
    he asid "
    He is too good a player to be ignored for such a big event where experience and the ability to play the spinners well on turning tracks will matter a lot. Yousuf I think is one of the best players of spin and that is why he deserved a place in the final squad"

    Pakistan will lose any chance to win any game in worldcup matches if Misbah is made Captain. His approach is to defend the wickets, which may work for test but a complete failure in ODIs. Misbah is Miandad of new era. His approach is pretty much similar to Muhammad Yousuf's.

    There is no doubt that for 20:20 and ODI format Afridi is the best captain we have at the moment.
    Misbah is good but not good enough to be a winning captain in this format. If Afridi was in the 2nd test against the Kewi's, I think that we would have won the match. we needed runs less than 3.5 per over and despite one end covered by YK, Misbah played painfully slow. We had 6 wickets in hands and we drew a match? Unbelievable!

    @asif65
    Mo Yususf is unfit... and we cant have any unfit player in team even be MoYo or YK.

    @KHAN_Sahib

    there was 50 50 chance in 2nd test.... pata nhi aap ney match dekhy ya nhi but going for draw was a right option after YoKhan's wicket.
    Afridi is like "Daray ke Bandooq" kabhi chalti hey kabhi goli phans jati hey.
    but at the same time i will oppose bringing new captain .... go with Afridi and all other support him.

    ok ok...i know imran nazir is a kid..he has been given so many chances....and he ruined most of them..he is betetr thn imran farhat..he is better thn yasir hameed.....but still..i think..thr might be sumthin like a parchee..which he hasnt got.....cz ppl cum in and go out...but he had the talent...anyways...i d like to see him in the team..not this worldcup...but on a perm basis...the kid needs coaching on patience more thn batting..he has got natural talent..if you see his cover drives..you will feel...and also he was the best fielder we have..!

    your views..?

    By the way Pakistan's 124 all out today in the first ODI against a very Halki team NZ.

    I can only imagine what's about to happen in the WC.

    dude its ok ^

    there was too much swing early in the morning. and later on when Pakistan bowled, there was NO swing at all.

    next 5 matches, Pakistan will bounce back. inshallah, with full conviction i can say that.

    I want Afridi to be captain...he's got the guts to lead the team especially in present hullabaloo...

    also wasn't dropping an experienced player like Muhammad Yousaf,who has played in number of world cups before, a blunder?

    Shoaib Akhtar,i can bet will only be able to play one or two matches and then will get misfit! or prolly they will use him only in crucial match like semi final or quarter final if only we get there!...anyway im still waiting to watch the coming World Cup next Month! Yey!

    Misbah is killing the momentum of the inning, it may not hurt us in this match but down the road it will. He has a very negative approach towards batting, start slow, slowly build your inning and then hit your way out in the end. Works for him but not for team, you need someone like Mohammad Yousuf or Asad Shafiq who can keep ticking the scoreboard and build momentum
